The web is broken, IMHO

So there is a (IMHO) shady market out there that gives app developers on iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows money for including a library that sells users network bandwidth. Infatica [1] is just one example, there are many more.

I am 99% sure that these companies cause what effectively are DDoS attacks that many webmasters have to deal with since months. This business model should simply not exist. Apple, Microsoft and Google should act.

Me: "I just want to open the calculator pretty quick..." (hits "Super", types "calc" and hits enter without watching)
LibreOffice Calc: "YOU SUMMON ME, MORTAL?"
Me: "Oh, sweet Jesus, NO."

@shunghsiyu just call it BPFCI/1.0. It's obviously a bot anyway and removing it won't trigger the challenge.

@blairconrad @ljs @mairacanal we should start calling them "the Canadian Wandering Geese," too.

I'm trying to get the biggest vendors to sponsor the LVFS. The Linux Foundation is kindly paying for all the hosting costs out of their IT budget, and Red Hat pays for all my time -- but as LVFS grows and grows that's going to be less and less sustainable longer term. I'm trying to find funding to hire a part time "me replacement" so that I can go on holiday for a week without stressing about internet and email.

Installing LineageOS 22 on my old Pixel 3a so I can give it to my kid for his trip to Costa Rica. If he loses it, I won't be too upset.

@pdp7 almost certainly some kind of javascript blocker that you have. Unfortunately, there is no way around it -- it needs to be tuned off for the site.

@lkundrak @TobiX I torture myself, thank you very much. It's my local pip tree, which I really should have installed in a venv, but haven't. :)

@TobiX @lkundrak Ah, that's the one, thank you! So, I should be okay upgrading to 42 without expecting too much fallout.

@lkundrak if I upgrade and it's 3.14-rc2, I'll hold you personally responsible. ;)

@jeroen Hmm... that's probably not the base Python version, just a version installable alongside. The default is already 3.13 in Fedora 41.

Can someone tell me which version of Python is in Fedora 42? I can't find a definitive answer (I get either 3.13 or 3.14rc2 when searching online). My upgrade painfulness level is always dependent on if there is a Python version uptick between what I currently have and the new release.

@jwildeboer @alexanderkjall @janet @carbontwelve @bagder the git project is not managed by LF. It's a Software Freedom Conservancy project.

Russia war crimes, murdered children

More children were murdered by ballistic missiles launched by Russia today. But sure, let's keep talking about how "both sides want peace."

@puppygirlhornypost2 @aphyr Just checked, looks like our policy is to reject anything from accounts registered less than 1 day ago. I'm not sure if that's the reason I've never encountered the fediverse chick, or if I'm just exceedingly lucky (or both).
