why is my email in the breach if i signed up with a throwaway? well, i (stupidly) used my personal email to contact tracki.
but what i don't understand is why *now*, ~a year and a half since that hack, and also why at all if (from the article) tracki supposedly patched their shit?
but anyway, good news is i found out about a very cool blog. and also #FuckStalkerware 3/3
so, i sent tracki an email and added them to the unfortunately long list of entities violating osm copyright.¹ (they were still violating it months after i alerted them)
anyway, fast forward 2 years, and i start receiving sign up confirmations for like, random help desks? so i looked my email up on haveibeenpwned.com and read about its hack and other shenanigans by @maia,² which might explain why some of the help desks are israeli(?) 2/

just found out my email was in a data breach.
a couple of years ago i watched a mark rober video about this glitter bomb anti-theft thing, and i noticed the service he was using to track the thing had a map that looked like openstreetmap, and i didn't see any attribution. as an osm contributor (at the time) i thought i would investigate, so i signed up to the service, tracki, with a throwaway email. and, as i saw in the video, they were using osm data without attribution, which is illegal. 1/
What is the point of all these settings if I can't set them‽ Is this just a way to keep the statistics for “A.I.” “adoption” up at #Microslop?
@[email protected] Linux tip: Use `systemctl --failed` to quickly identify which services failed to start after boot. Much faster than scrolling through journal logs when troubleshooting system issues. RUBBISH THAT IS A SYSTEMD ONLY TOOL according to its creators the 2.2 million lines of code involved ensure efficient operation. Know why I use a no systemd distribution. IT WORKS, starts my system and the code is about 2 million lines shorter than the mess Pottering and Sievert crated.
@Kerplunk @monospace how dare someone write something that may be helpful to only 99% of the audience they are referring to.

gotta love the bsd *omg they're putting microsoft systemd everywhere!!!1!* folks discovering that plasma login manager (a fork of sddm, which will continue to work just as well on bsd as it does now) depends on systemd, and then posting links to the commit which proves this... on microsoft github. y'know, KDE has their own forge, right? but you would rather use proprietary software, hmmm?
i find it a bit amusing
