My gender, or other genders, both are good ✨

A mastodon DM is a private post. Setting a post to private before sending means only mentioned accounts can see it, and all mentioned accounts get notified. In a sense this enables both DMs and group messages too. But it’s not the most elegant interface for it tbf. A good app makes this feel more DM like, such as Ice Cubes on iOS or the equivalent on Android.

I’m making a note here: huge success

A fine for the billionaire rich is meaningless in most cases :/

Ngl I’m surprised they didn’t shrink their face here. It’s normally photoshopped but this is true to life.

Given that personal sensitive data doesn’t leave a device except when authorised, a bad actor would need to access a target’s device or somehow identify and compromise the specific specially hardened Apple silicon server, which likely does not have any of the target’s data since it isn’t retained after computing a given request.

Accessing someone’s device leads to greater threats than prompt injection. Identifying and accessing a hardened custom server at the exact time data is processed is exceptionally difficult as a request. Outside of novel exploits of a user’s device during remote server usage, I suspect this is a pretty secure system.

The Jedi are SO competent with the force. Some memorable points (spoilers ofc):

• The masters’ restraint in never igniting their lightsabers unless lethality is absolutely necessary, relying on the force as their primary defence.
• The contrast between Yord’s anxious rule-focussed approach and Sol’s force-led approach.
• Torbin’s impenetrable force aura whilst meditating - for over 10 years!!
• Sol’s ability to restrain Mae in-place whilst using the force to figure out what she knows
• Every single example of Jedi mind trick use
• The lightsaber hilts and sounds each being more refined and elegant imo

Instantly sending me back to the pre-prequel era games, books & comics this series is. I am so glad that they chose to flesh out this era with the High Republic books first to ensure we have a vast array of literature and strong world building to draw from.

Naturally hyped for next week. We’re eating well today.
