froztbyte@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 27th July 2025English8·4 days agoI recall seeing an article in the last week or so, regarding a right-wing associated group taking aim at these. will see if I can find that again
froztbyte@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 27th July 2025English7·4 days agoah yeah @fasterandworse found this when it was happening (and I pulled archives of the live streams on the days it was playing)
some further observations to the stuff in her writeup: the day1 livestream also “starts late” (and cuts suspiciously cleanly in mid-sentence). I still want to do some tests to find out if YouTube’s live editor allows editing out stream history while stream is going, but either way they made very sure that they could completely silence that talk if it turned out that she didn’t bend as forced
(the now-up video published on youtube definitely starts differently to the livestream, too, so it’s likely a local post-mix recording that got uploaded. I haven’t had time to review both and find possible differences)

note not only the massive uptick in recent commit counts on the github, but also the complete lack of any related domain experience in what they’re posting to the git list about

so glad these things have a solid security model and this totally won’t result in a scrambled half-assed fix
certainly better than seeing the damned cloudflare Click Here To Human box, although I suspect a number of these deployments still don’t sponsor Xe or the project development :/
