Given how Facebook aggressively guard their assets (i.e. their users’ contents and relationships), I imagine keeping this working would be a constant game of cat and mouse.

People have reported regressions with post-3.4.1 versions of rsync. If it’s a coincidence, then it’s one hell of one.

Has this been audited? It’s easy to claim that something is secure, but there have been products that made such claims and were trivially exploitable.

Now with added estradiol

Though it’ll still be Electron bloatware, chewing up RAM and CPU cycles for tasks a native app could have done on a potato.

They’re a south-pointing compass (if they assert something, you know it’s wrong)

If the Russian Mafia can do it, theoretically so can you.

That’s probably just RMS being RMS

Vibe coding, the crystal meth of software

Indeed, it is said that John Mastodon himself is German
