I wish we could just signed diffs and stop with the whole “make an account literally everywhere” mentality.
the email-list only folks are like 3/4s right; federation isn’t a solution to bring decentralization to an already decentralized system, it’s to just stop thinking that every saas has to “own” your stuff, and keep it behind auth and secrets and a big heavy database.
things just work out, it seems
muppets from space is both one of my favorites, and contains the travesty that is whatever happened to Fozzie’s writing.
How do you think he got matched up with the Libyans? It’s not everyday you get offered to help smuggle nuclear material…
it’s a bit different, in that they’re just constantly broadcasting a singular id, over and over. The “tracking” is the application on various devices which receive the broadcast and report it to Apple, along with that device’s location.
Sidewalk was packing up actual user data and running it over your network, which has other implications.
not at all defending or praising the idea, but I’m very sure the foundation of my house is larger than that.
if I want to follow you home, I buy an airtag, drop it in your purse/truck bed/gym bag, wait for 45m and then go to where the airtag is.
That’s why it’s referring to anti stalking protections; the devices work too well, and allow you to track all sorts of things, even stuff that doesn’t belong to you, or that has the agency to not want you to.

my 2c:
that we live in anything approaching an Adam Smith style capitalism at all. The scope of regulatory capture, anticompetitive behavior, cartel building et al in the current corporatist handwave means that prices can never go down, competition can’t really unseat incumbents and so on.
info not a ton of people know; most wall corners in your house/apartment whatever, have a metal bracket holding the sides of the drywall together. that means with a strong enough magnet to make it comfortably tight against the paint, you can hang stuff on almost every outside corner in your house.
I bought a sample pack of super strong neodymium dudes and there’s kid stuff, schedules, notes, doodles etc hanging all over the place.
it’s a storyline thing :)
