Indeed.

This is a major blind spot to the fediverse and it was easily exploited several years ago, when a disgruntled hacker made a bunch of accounts on unsecured misskey instances and used them to spam the whole network via federation. People tried to defederate from the instances, but the attacker eventually started spinning up his own. All he needed was to ensure at least one user on another instance would see his new instances.

Russia and other NSA’s could easily use the same strategy: no effective countermeasure was developed, the attacker simply got bored and stopped.

My phone doesn’t have any custom ROM support yet, so I guess I’m screwed? I love F-Droid, but this missive amounts to just ragebait for people who don’t have Pixel devices.

While I am nostalgic for those days, they were also marred by the ilk of DRM like SecuROM. We discovered my disc drive was literally scratching our discs - the longer we played them, the more they deteriorated until the drive could no longer detect the disc. We purchased a new drive and still had to buy some of our games a second time. Paying twice for the same object was so abhorrent to me as a kid, that if I ever somehow lost access to a digital piece of media I had purchased, I’d just go sailing instead.

With a username like that I’m surprised you didn’t mention X-Wing vs TIE Fighter lol

Still in court IIRC
