Plus, check this out. The platform says I have 12 followers but only 4 show up. Major problems over there.

I think the author was too generous, the majority of signups are bots/AI mixed with super casual side accounts. 2.2 million Brazilians sign-up in a couple days? I call bullshit. Even if that were true, they signed-up and don’t use it. Why do I believe that?

It’s because the awesome account I follow Quanta Magazine gets 20 hearts/likes/whatever and often less than 10, with 0 or 1 comment. Super weak interaction across the whole platform if you check out accounts that should be popular.

Great point, thought the same thing myself. The Athena repo works well on CachyOS for example. Thanks for the input.

I think Debian was one of the first major Linux distros to fully implement full PIE and ASLR and is probably the most robust implementation. The only downside in my mind to Debian is the target size, opportunity gain, huge. Thanks for your comment.

Whoa, the downvotes are real! I had to slice up that title text and render it to path for the 3D effect, took forever, was like 30 layers. It took forever to get it just right and replacing Mastodon with “Lemmy” was just too much work. Was that it? I don’t get it ;)

This network tracks items specifically built on this protocol

Wrong. It tracks all Bluetooth devices, but provides more functionality if the protocol is used by owned device + tracking device.

you’ll already know where the user is since you own the fucking network.

Strange comment, who owns what network that is valid here in this context? This network works across Apple and Android Bluetooth Low Energy, no one owns that network.

Because the “worldwide tracking network” that already works is called the cellular network

Wrong. Although you obviously get all sorts of data to use from LTE/CDMA/etc from a phone, you need to catch it in between a tower handoff which records the movement speed and it’s not accurate. Really only accurate if you use three towers, high power, in close range of the device, but that is Nation State level phreaking. BLE will be able to use every device in the vicinity and would be trackable down to inches, just like the AirTag and what these devices are meant for.

I suggest
