I'm very glad moths are now getting the appreciation they so richly deserve
re: solid, that berners-lee thingy

solid, that berners-lee thingy
Looks interesting
I'm a little put off by him saying that he sees "Market opportunities" and is working with business people
But that might just be my kneejerk "fuck that corper shit" response coming in
@Iuckyduck@octodon.social NEIN! DIE HEILIGE KARTOFFEL!

facebook hack
Quite predictably, Facebook has just quietly admitted that the recent security fault that compromised 50 million accounts didn't just affect Facebook
It also affected anything using Facebook Login, including Instagram and Tinder

UK politics, disaster for the Tories, doxxing
The Conservatives have an app for their conference, and it lets you log in with just an email address - no pw, no verification email, nothing. Just "Welcome Mr. Gove!"
Boris Johnson and Michael Gove's profiles have of course been trashed already, and the phone numbers made public.
Spoiler for Dark Phoenix
@Jo never know, might be yet another different bloody timeline
@mxsparks yep, also due to the leaves, the leaves of tomatoes and potatoes contain solanine which is toxic to humans
Not a lot of it, but enough to make a tomato leaf salad a bad idea
It's fairly well known that it was hard to get europeans to really take to the potato when they first came across it
Here's my theory of why that was
It wasn't because the europeans were afraid of new foods, it was because they thought "oh, a new plant, wait, it's in the NIGHTSHADE family?! The same family of plants that has one just called DEADLY?! And you want us to EAT IT?!?!? FUCK. THAT. SHIT."
an' I say GENDER?! I 'ardly know 'er!

Reminder: every Mastodon instance is run by a human being and administered by a small group of human beings (and that small group may number 1). Attacking an instance means attacking the person who runs it.
This reminder is especially relevant if you're a mastodon admin. You don't get to pretend that other instances are monoliths when you know that your own isn't.
@maple on tomorrow's world and other future looking tech shows they were always showing shirts made with shape memory stuff so you could just point a hairdryer at it to get the creases out
I can only imagine that still not being available is part of the conspiracy

Gay as in "whether or not we're of the 'same gender', this relationship falls well outside the scope of what's expected by cishetero-patriarchy".
