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."

@maple I think you're wonderful and the complete opposite of a piece of shit

:thaenkin: I wonder when and how humanity decided that mint should be the default flavour of toothpaste

@Jo it's testing to see if you would be tasty to bite

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

HOT TAKE 

@legendaryjoeb I mean seriously, ALS make a TRIPLE rattrapante

The Swiss do a single and that's it

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".

HOT TAKE 

A. Lange und Söhne make far better watches than any Swiss company

@ me cowards

USPOL 

@natecull weirdly he looks even more yelly than duke

clarification for non-brits 

Sixth form is where you go if you're between 16 and 19 and got good grades in school

I ended up leaving after the first year of that after my AS levels because reasons

Show thread

one of the CDs was Ozric Tentacles which I'm sure might explain a lot

Show thread

Honestly I spent most of my time at sixth form in the common room listening to Muse and anything else we had a CD of handy

alcohol 

Jacob's Creek Chardonnay review:

serviceable after the first glass, the first glass is rough as hell

musk, tesla 

@noelle there are theories that musk wants to tank the stock price through this so he can afford to take the company private which he's apparently wanted to do and he would still be able to remain CEO of a newly private tesla

I very much doubt that's the case but musk is certainly dumb enough to come up with that sort of stupid plan
