Until there is another instance it’s not federated.

We’re seeing a substantial increase on the Mastodon instance I help moderate too, but there’s no aggregate marketing department at Mastodon so we don’t get any headlines.

You want Matrix. Synapse if you intend to host for others, Conduit if you just want to host for yourself. There are quite a few different clients but I do indeed use ElementX on mobile.

Shops in Sweden very often state that they don’t accept cash - and it’s perfectly legal for them to make that choice.

We have cash?

Haven’t used it for years.

Troll comment.

You do that - you die.

Please show me that guideline, anywhere.

It’s because it isn’t true. We don’t go looking unless it’s needed.

Despite fixing the issue, Zendesk ultimately chose not to award a bounty for my report. Their reasoning? I had broken HackerOne’s disclosure guidelines by sharing the vulnerability with affected companies

Regardless of everything else they should be kicked out from HackerOne since it’s clearly Zendesk not being truthful here.

That sounds problematic. Where do they detail this?

Wikipedia:

Google Safe Browsing “conducts client-side checks. If a website looks suspicious, it sends a subset of likely phishing and social engineering terms found on the page to Google to obtain additional information available from Google’s servers on whether the website should be considered malicious”.

But why are random people visiting your instance?

If you were just selfhosting services for you and your family, would really browsers be flagging your site?

… if you configure to use their lookup server.

I don’t consider those comments regarding Matrix as problematic. Don’t use someone else’s server if you don’t trust them - including a third party lookup server.

We did listen to Beastie Boys over here too you know.

(So there are only five boroughs)

Just clarifying for the ones who don’t know: Element is a Matrix client.

It’s on my new VW ID.7 in Europe at least. Drove during dark for the first time a few weeks ago and it was pretty amazing seeing the matrix headlights “sculpt” the light around other cars.

Distracting in the beginning, but you get used to it.

All of the statements in the claim need to be fulfilled - so while that if looks correct it’s only a very small part of the actions described. Example:

in association with selecting, based on a selection operation,[…], wherein the boarding object is selected among a plurality of types of objects that the player character owns;

IANAL - but I’ve worked for Big Company and have gone through the patent process a few times. A patent isn’t what’s written in the supporting text and abstract. It’s only the exact thing written out in the claims.

First claim from the patent the abstract is from:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a game program causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to provide execution comprising:

   controlling a player character in a virtual space based on a first operation input;

   in association with selecting, based on a selection operation, a boarding object that the player character can board and providing a boarding instruction, causing the player character to board the boarding object and bringing the player character into a state where the player character can move, wherein the boarding object is selected among a plurality of types of objects that the player character owns;

   in association with providing a second operation input when the player character is in the air, causing the player character to board an air boarding object and bringing the player character into a state where the player character can move in the air; and

   while the player character is aboard the air boarding object, moving the player character, aboard the air boarding object, in the air based on a third operation input.

Exactly everything described above must be done in that exact same way for there to be an infringement.

Is there anything newer than 2021 here?
