The FBI’s takedown last month of the RapperBot appeared to have an unwanted consequence: freeing up as many as 95,000 devices to be taken over by new botnet overlords. That led to a free-for-all to take over the machines “as fast as possible."

For privacy researchers, this thread is interesting. iOS allow apps to make network requests after push notifications.

Instagram (and others) appear to be using this to profile devices, eg retrieve device uptime without their customer opening Instagram.

This one probably needs more eyes on it. https://mastodon.social/@mysk/115204746326765802

There is a #Quansheng modification that allows it to transmit and receive #CW for Morse Code operation. I posted a six second video demonstrating it and hams on Facebook couldn't handle it. Today we talk about it and I show you how to modify your own Quansheng!

Jim Brown voted for Trump to get all those immigrants deported. Unfortunately, his own wife is from Ireland, so Trump is now deporting her.

I have met floorboards more intelligent than MAGA voters.

“An Irish grandmother who has lived in the US for most of her life and holds a green card is facing deportation because she wrote a bad cheque for $25 in 2015.

Donna Hughes-Brown, 58, was detained in July after landing in Chicago on a flight from Dublin and is being held in isolation in a detention centre in Kentucky. She has lived in the US since 1977, has five children and grandchildren, and ran a horse farm in Troy, Missouri.”

one of the (many) problems with telling people who've lost their careers in middle age to just retrain is that you can't live on an entry-level salary anymore. people in their 20s are supposed to have roommates and parent subsidies. you enter a new career in your 40s and you're expected to deal with all the financial obligations of middle age with a salary that doesn't even cover the rent.

Hey by the way South Koreans are now reporting they were put in chains and treated like animals for 7 days after ICE raided the multi-billion dollar plant they were setting up for the benefit of 8500 high paying American jobs.

They had valid visas.
They were here legally.
They did everything right.
Trump still treated them like animals.

It was NEVER about "legal" immigration. It was always about banning non-white immigration.

Folks, Mohammed ( @mohshbair) has taken ill after his trip to the South to try and secure a place for his family.

It’s likely Covid.

It’s the second account I’m seeing of someone who visited the South falling ill with Covid in as many days.

Please help him cover cost of treatment in addition to everything else.

This is his fundraiser: https://chuffed.org/project/mohshbairgaza

You can also find him on Gaza Verified:

Please share so it can reach others who might be able to help also.

Thank you!

History's being erased at an alarming rate. There's wonderful preservationists out there doing amazing, incredible, heroic things. But also, keeping personal receipts is a good thing! Keeping living cultural memory going is a good thing! Having somewhere we can be *honest* about the world is a good thing!

It's clear to me, at least at this point, that that means communicating and building culture outside of corporate enclaves.

🍉Since the cooking gas was cut off in Gaza, we've been cooking whatever we can find over wood fires, just like primitive humans. My 11-year-old brother, Yousef, lights the fires. Unfortunately, the smoke exhausts our sinuses, and his in particular, making it hard to sleep. Blackness and ash cover us after every meal.🍉

Additionally, the price of firewood is now increasing due to its increased use by Gazans.

A kind reminder about my campaign here.

Highly #recommended. See #Gaza from ground level through the eyes of a human being. It's a ray of light through the man-made fog that helps maintain the ignorance around us.

Journalism of the right brain hemisphere.

In the heart of Madrid, on Gran Vía, thousands of Spaniards stood against injustice today, halting the Vuelta a España race in protest of Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza. They placed barriers, set off smoke, and faced the police to defend humanity. The race was stopped 58 km from the finish line and the award ceremony canceled—but their message was heard. 💔🇵🇸

Thank you, Spain. Thank you to everyone who stood with Gaza and raised their voice for justice. If I weren’t Palestinian, I would have wished to be Spanish today 🇪🇸❤️.

What’s happening in northern Gaza right now is beyond horrifying.
Families are fleeing south with nothing—no shelter, no food, no safety.
They’re sleeping on sidewalks, on the streets, under the sun and under bombs.
Children are dying. Mothers are holding their lifeless babies in their arms.
The roads are full of people running for their lives, exhausted, terrified, and forgotten.
Gaza is dying. And the world is watching.
We are not numbers. We are human beings, being wiped out silently.

We feel trapped

Things are getting worse very fast in Gaza City.

We've been looking for a place to stay in the south of the Gaza Strip for more than 10 days but we found nothing.

Now we stand motionless and death is around us every minute.

I don’t know how this will end.

Gaza is burning under relentless attacks. Buildings are being reduced to rubble. Thousands are running for their lives into the unknown, streets overflowing with people with no shelter, no safety, nowhere to hide. Over 20 buildings have been destroyed since morning, and the bombing continues. The healthcare system is collapsing; the wounded are bleeding to death, and children are having their arms and legs amputated due to a lack of antibiotics.
