For twenty plus years now, when someone sends me a contact to sign as a PDF, if I'm interested, i read it, and considering my signature will be the first if I agree, i consider it a proposal, which I modify accordingly, sign, and send back.
It's amazing that almost no one takes the time to read those contracts - they just countersign and send me back the copy with their signatures.
Sometimes, shit hits the fan! And when it does they start with the threatening or intimidating language, saying "you signed the contract", to which i respond, "Yes I did asshole - did you read it?"

First discovered in 2002, paleontologist draw comparisons of #Dinocephalosaurus_orientalis with other aquatic species having no modern day analogs - why did the entire family of #Tanystropheidae or the genera exhibiting these morphological functionalities not continue?
Perhaps just as interesting is the convergent evolution (especially with respect to their necks) between that of Dinocephalosaurus and members of the Tanystropheus genus. A close resemblance on the surface, yet Dinocephalosaurus orientalis was strictly an aquatic species.
I've included an artists reconstructive rendition of Tanystropheus longobardicus for comparison between the two, but note that Dinocephalosaurus had four flipper-like feet of the same size, and unable to exist, or at least thrive in a terrestrial environment, where Tanystropheus exhibited larger feet in the rear - not unlike your hands being smaller than your feet.
And yes, as Yuki (@youronlyone) offers up as a contemplative inference, the whole "Dragon" and "Loch Ness Monster" corollaries are uncanny, raising questions as to why would pre-industrial societies actually have such fables, or in the case of the latter, claims of sightings, if not rooted in some previous observation by humans?
Dinocephalosaurus was extant from the late #Paleozoic (late Permian period) through the early #Mesozoic (early Triassic period) eras.
#tallship #Dinocephalosaurus #Triassic #Tanystropheus #Tanystropheus_longobardicus h/t to @youronlyone for bringing the latest news on this matter to me - I'm always fascinated with things related to #marine_biology - especially #Opisthobranchia

"That's not true!", "That's a lie!", "That's not what that said before!", "This isn't right", That's definitely a retcon"....
Have you ever pulled up a Wikipedia page, only to stare in stark disbelief, that what you're seeing isn't actually the truth, or knowing that the page has been altered to reflect a completely different narrative than was was factually correct in an earlier incarnation of the page?
You may have just been victimized by a phenomenon known as #retcon, and one of the founders of #Wikipedia has been working on a set of solutions to rectify such #disinformation.

I personally feel that this is the optimal delivery and update methodology for future software distribution.
I've written about this at length in several articles, and more and more service daemons and client software are taking advantage of this form of direct from the developers method of delivery - not just Android apps.
#FairEmail is one such app that even states in the docs that this is the preferred method, although they do support a total of four methods:
- Google PlayStore - crippleware due to google funding source restrictions. In all cases, this is by far the worst distribution point for software, if not with respect for the product that the developers want to deliver, but also with regards for the privacy of the users who are tracked, mined, and themselves repackaged as a quantifiable inventory item.
- F-Droid custom Dev's repo - 2nd best option, because this is built with the developer's keys when the developer decides to push the product, and contain all feature sets that the developer chooses to include.
- F-Droid repo - 3rd best option, since it is signed with F-Droid's keys and typically lags by some measure of time with respect to release dates, considering that F-Droid staff pushes these out on a best effort basis, according to the time they have available to do so.
- Direct from the developers Git repo - This is the best method. They push a release and the next time you open the app you're notified of an update.This is part of the magic of Slackware's philosophy too - Patrick and team don't church it up like most distro's do (Debian and AlmaLinux quite often, quite heavily wrt customizations, use Apache or Nginx HTTP servers as examples). Slackware tries to package up software as close to how the upstream intends it to be.In earlier articles I've published on the topic, I've focused at times on a solution to a theme proffered by #Moxie_Marlinspike, who denigrates the open source model somewhat, for being at a great disadvantage when compared to that of proprietary solutions that can update and evolve protocols, APIs, etc., on a whim, because they're centrally managed and controlled by a single dictatorial source. Microsoft is one such classic example. You simply have NO CHOICE as to when you must allow your software to be EOLed, evolve, or update itself.
Using this model, however, where a central repo, or a distributed, CDN type of repo mirroring is deployed at the origin by the development team itself, FOSS has no problem upgrading even things like protocols as they evolve. Of course, it is ultimately up to the operators of the software to allow updates and the prerogative of the developers to establish the level of nags that users of the software will experience until they permit the updates to occur, but that's beyond the scope of the basis of advocating for this type of delivery model.
Okay I think I'm bordering on hijacking this thread, so I'll make a comment about these types of shennigans by Google, and how one one hand it's certainly a huge frustration, if not an impediment to being found and adopted by users, but moreover, a predatory practice by one of the most egregious violators of personal choice in the free market of consumerism and commerce.
It may hurt being pulled like that, but IMO, I don't think there's anything preventing the good folks behind #Snikket from pushing out the kind of crippleware that google wants them to, while at the same time pushing banner splashes in the app that explain just how fricken' useless it is under the terms necessary to distribute it via that medium, and encouraging users to install it instead by following the instructions at the #git_repo for a fully featured, #e2ee secure messaging platform.
IOW, there's always a silver lining - wear this dejection as a badge of honor and as the evidence to support the fact that you're on the right track!

#SSHGuard uses a different randomization paradigm that may work better for you.
Also, instead of just depending upon #f2b, why not either add a DROP rule in your #firewall script or perhaps better yet, a null route in your routing (for the entire /16 if it won't affect any customers or current users)?

And it's very, very, refreshing to see this - you're not the only one. There is much frustration and resentment in the developer community over this, and many have chosen to do this correctly instead of shaving corners and crippling the potentials.

He's just taking out the trash right now. A lot like Castro did in the 70's.
That will all eventually settle down, with the majority of those participating in the knee-jerk reaction of the #mob_mentality eventually returning...
They've been subjugated as the downtrodden and insignificant chattel of those deprecated, privacy disrespecting, legacy monolithic silos. The #addiction is strong within them and they've been #assimilated by the prettiness of the #Darkside, lolz.
Many will however, choose to stay, enjoying the unbroken promises of #freedom and safety from being weighed, measured, butchered, packaged, and placed into inventory on the shelves of #Faceplant, #Twatter, #InstaSPAM, and other #deprecated_legacy_silos.
Many more will remain here while at the same time cave to the sinister beckonings of those evil mistresses, but at least they'll have one foot 🦶 here in the pasture of green 💚
For those of us that have been in this free space for the past 5 or 6 years, all we can do is welcome them back from the #Borg Collective and try to support their best inclinations as best we can.
The ultimate test of their commitment to protect the ownership of their #intellectual_property, privacy, and #identity is a matter they will ultimately have to decide the importance of for themselves.
Ask the best!

Okay I know, it's not #FOSS so you can't get it from F-Droid, but you can get it from the #Aurora_store, and that's available at F-Droid:

Anyway, Duck_Duck_Go just released a new privacy feature that sets up a "local host" based VPN on your own mobile device and blocks [almost] all trackers from from all of your installed apps.
You don't need to use their browser either.
i.e., #Reddit running in bg generates 5 to 25 tracking attempts per second:

tallship wrote the following post Fri, 21 Jul 2023 22:25:52 +0200 The big news here isn't the headline, it's what's buried in the article itself - an article that links and clings to non #Fediverse, deprecated silo resources like Twitter to pad the results of cooperative studies between these two universities.
Of particular note is an apparent broken promise to #open_source the technology on one hand, and the infinite power that #FOSS can play when millions of eyes are on the prize with cooperative development.

A couple of things.
1.) No. It is not (Short answer, in direct response to your question).
2.) Not linking directly to YouTube videos is actually ahead of the curve not behind it.
3.) Your current pactice to date of not linking directly to YouTube videos has a lot of benefits to your readers whether they bother to directly appreciate it or not. Here are some reasons for that, and facilities waiting for you, as a #Fedizen in the #Fediverse, and one who can appreciate the protection of people's privacy and data integrity free of being quantified by industrial data and privacy mining engines:
- PeerTube is a great resource, and you can link directly to any video hosted on PeerTube. Not only that but #PeerTube has facilities to quickly clone any YouTube VoD (check the license at YouTube or contact the Copyright owner (creator/publisher) directly if they didn't take the time to avoid the default YouTube license.
- If you're the publisher/creator of the VoD then what some folks do is to upload part of it to YouTube with a big splash banner alerting the viewer to visit a particular URL to the PeerTube instance (Many also specify Odysee) video. There are a lot of very prominent so-called YouTube influencers or creators that do this as standard practice, even splitting their videos into two versions - the beginning, which is on YouTube, and the rest of the video which is hosted somewhere else in its entirety, and this works very well for them.
- If it's not your creation, then there's a few #FOSS tools to instantly convert a YouTube URL to a VoD into an Invidious URL to stream the video. What's especially awesome about doing it this way, is that, on almost all Fediverse platforms, even the decrepit stock mastodon instances, a very pretty link preview of the video is presnted, and most Fediverse platforms even support an embedded player experience right there in your stream so you never have to leave your Fediverse client.
- Following up on that last suggestion, is the fact that when you post an invidious link to a video anyone who clicks through to view it can simply click on the download button, choose the quality of the video, and voila! They now have a local copy for themselves!NOTE: There are a lot of invidious servers across the Internet, I recommend choosing a good stable one that's been around for a while, and using that one by setting up a shortcut for yourself (you only need to insert the YouTube ID in the URL). If anything ever happens to that server you can quickly replace the actual Invidious instance for all of your vids :)
So again, to recap what I said in response to your poll, No. You're not behind the curve at all, you're a #pathfinder, ahead of the curve, doing your part to respect the privacy of others who may otherwise be deprived of the content that you publish.
As a #Privacy conscious publisher and obviously, a member of the Fediverse thank you for your commitment to user safety and the protection of their own Intellectual property and privacy, free from the tracking and privacy mining operations of the deprecated, monolithic silos!
All the best!

ASP, Intranet, and other mostly forgotten terms of trends harkening back to the ghost of Internet past. Yeah, how 'bout that?
But one of my favs, "BSOD", experienced an overnight resurgence in the lexicon over the breakfast table yesterday.
Even after most folks had long since forgotten this NT phenomenon's affectionate derision, it remained a commonly recognized "oopsie" not resulting from operator failure, yet regardless, one that evokes shuddering waves of guilt within the user.

This is really messed up stuffs...
I call it despotic overreach via subjugation through state sponsored industrial surveillance systems.... It has nothing to do with capitalism but rather, that thing that Thomas Jefferson gave us... you know, the thing.
Been to a grocery store lately? You've been complaining for decades now, that they artificially inflate the prices of items so that they can offer you steep discounts on a rotating list of them - If, and only if, you consent to being a "club member". Personally, I've consented many a times; Rite-Aid, Albertson's, Wallgreens, CVS,Von's, and many others, as Brittney Spears, Charles Manson, Joseph Stalin, and even John Rambo, another obvious #nom_de_guerre to combat what would follow as spam but worse, industrial surveillance and privacy mining (of course, you also need to use a fake phone number and a /dev/null email addy).
Have you tried to buy things at Jack in the Box or 7/11 or Mcdonald's lately? ... They have an app for that. Why do you suppose that is? They could just as easily and more efficiently deliver their content via PWS/webapps through your regular browser experience (they don't want to be counter-measured with uBlock Origin or integrated anti-tracking measures on the more sensible web browsers).
They're working really hard to deliver you to evil. I walked into a Smart & Final the other day and saw an unbelievable price for a 30 pack of Natural Light Beer - you had to use a "digital coupon" (just like you do at 7/11 to pay the regular, competitive price for an item). I asked the cashier where in their weekly rag the "digital coupon" was located, and she informed me that one needs to install an app to be eligible for the discount. Fuck that noise. Homey don't play dat.
China has WeChat ... Resistance is Futile.
When you install an app, it's a whole different ballpark of invasiveness, intrusions, data farming, and privacy mining, it's like it's your first day in #Pelican_Bay and you announce that you're going to drop the soap as you shower.
So the next time someone says, "Thank you for shopping at Walmart!", or synonymously, "Go Fuck Yourself", just smile, and offer, "Yes, there's an app for that".
What follows below in the #boost I've shared, that so inspired me to address this issue, is not a simple inconvenience - it's a new beginning :p In #Communist_Red_China, you do everything on your #WeChat app - you submit your elementary school homework, you buy stuffs at the local market, you inform on yourself and your friends to their state equivalent of the #Stazi, and you tell them exactly where to come and arrest, perhaps even disappear you. #Falun_Gong? Healthy? awesome! Now your a live organ donor too - you can thank #Meg_Whitman for that one.
