Thought I'd show how to turn geotagging on and off in the LineageOS camera app.

I don't know how it is with regular Android or iOS, but at least in #LineageOS you can turn #geotagging on and off directly in the default camera app settings. So if you're worried about your location data getting out that way, leaking it, or accidentally doxxing yourself, you can set it so that geolocation isn't even added to the #EXIF ("metadata").

In case anyone was not aware.

Great question on HN today: "What can a coder do to help combat climate change?"

The responses are all pretty lame, though. What ideas do you have? What groups are doing something tangible where volunteer coding could help?

From the NYT:
"Before it leaked, EternalBlue was one of the most useful exploits in the NSA’s cyberarsenal. [...], analysts spent almost a year finding a flaw in Microsoft’s software [...] it went on to become a reliable tool used in countless [...] missions.

EternalBlue was so valuable, former NSA employees said, that the agency never seriously considered alerting Microsoft about the vulnerabilities".

A. Use Microsoft? Get hacked.
B. Why do anyone trust the NSA?

To change everything, we need everyone. It is time for all of us to unleash mass resistance – we urge the adults to join us.

this strike won them a 5% pay increase and the right to talk during lunch, in case you needed a reminder that if capital had its way your worklife would be entirely dystopian

Face mites: you have them. Don't worry, they're almost always harmless — and they can even tell you where you're ancestors came from.

JUST IN: U.S. Customs and Border Protection says a 16-year-old from Guatemala died today at a Border Patrol station in South Texas.

The teenager is the fifth migrant child since December to die after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

Back when the GNU project was starting, among the first things they rewrote as Free Software were:
- text editor / IDE (Emacs)
- assembler, linker, and compiler
- make

IOW, they made tools that they needed to further develop Free Software without relying on proprietary tools.

They wanted their project to be self-hosting.

Nowadays, we have more free software than ever, but we develop it using github and Discord...
