@gwozniak@discuss.systems I just hit the share button on a photo in Google photos. The only contact it suggested was the phone number for a former student who is a perfectly lovely person but I haven't seen him in years and have probably texted him a grand total of twice, more than a year ago It suggested I might want to share it via the Kagi search app, or my app launcher. It suggested something called "quick share" that... just searches for other nearby devices? What kind of devices can it share with? How would I make my phone available to be shared with? So many unanswered questions. At least it did offer Tusky, which is one of the two apps I have ever used this menu with (it did not suggest the other, the text messaging app)

This thing is like specifically designed to avoid showing me either the people or apps that I would ever want to share anything with. Would you like to share this album of family photos with this random person who emailed you once five years ago? Would you like to share this YouTube video via your university's two factor authentication app? How about sharing this email via Bluetooth?

At last! I've added real OAUTH support (entirely in the browser, so I don't need to process any credentials on the server) to https://moderation-explorer.online/ . This tool shows you how the people you follow, and that follow you, are spread out over the Fediverse, and explains how moderation works. In advanced mode (using OAUTH, now) it'll show you stats from your actual timeline.

When this post is approximately 3 hours old (at 7 PM MDT / 1 AM UTC), mysterious #Monsterdon toots will come bubbling up from the depths! Will you watch along? (It's free on Tubi and there are other free ways to watch too!) Will you mute the hashtag? Will you just shrug and get confused?ONLY YOU CAN SAY! Tonight! Giant crickets, apparently? I still need confirmation about whether we're talking about the insects or the sport. Either one sounds like a good time though, and like they could lead to the end of the world: Beginning of the End (1957)

@cxiao@infosec.exchange yeah I think a lot of people who think that they can make things easier by switching countries are people who already have "powerful" passports that get them visa free travel to a lot of places, and don't understand what it's actually like for travel to be administratively difficult

The number of cases at the PETS conference in Canada where faculty are presenting because their students could not get a visa to attend (hi, I'm one of them!) is far higher than I expected. I didn't realize the extent to which this is not just a US problem these days.
