Mandrake's lead piece of art. An androgymous figure stands in a copse of rhubarb, sickle in hand, a large, magical-looking flower in front of them. The trees behind them are in shadow. A house is in the distance, past a river, over the bridge. Text reads: MANDRAKE.

A lovely bit of woodland with a dark edge to it, trees twisting and roots curving improbably overhead. In a cage of roots and flowers, a pair of pupilless white eyes glows. Gnarled hands grasp the roots. A small figure stands stoic before the captive.

A lovely garden with neatly kept, pebble-bordered beds. Different plants and flowers grow in each. A figure is maintaining them.

A grumpy, white-haired white man in a green hunting cloak and carrying an ornate shotgun talks to you, reluctantly. Text in a conversation panel reads: He does not speak. It looks like it's up to you to break the ice. "Greetings," you say. "I've just moved into the village. I'm-" "Morgan. Morgan Mandrake." He grunts. White-haired Man: "There's a lot of stories about the Mandrakes. That their sorcery bent the world in half, and it's never been the same again. That their follies sank Oleas beneath the waves." Conversation options follow: 1. That was a long time ago. 2. Well, I'll try not to do that. 3. Old tales can't be trusted. They are a bed of exaggeration, mistakes, and falsehood. Any truth is buried deep. 4. I'm not going to repeat my family's mistakes.

Apple's Face ID can be quickly disabled in an emergency - Help Net Security Apple has implemented easy methods to disable Face ID if the user is ever in a position of being forced to unlock the device without actually wanting to.

Which is exactly why you can disable it with a few key presses at any time instead of permanently compromising your security..

Reposting this because our lovely automated system had a fit over some stuff lmao...but hey, she's back! Just a cute, soft, shy kobold girl in the snow! She belongs to my husband, @treasurehoarder.bsky.social! 💖

Except that with mastodon your home server doesn’t bind you if you later decide to move on to another instance or even self-host. Migration is painless and you don’t lose any contacts either. That alone takes a lot of stress out of picking where to put your account initially.

Good job recovering but please don’t tell me you’ve been running both databases from the same storage RAID?

Pssst @capacities.bsky.social - your password-strength test needs work..

A password with 52 characters (uppercase / lowercase letters as well as symbols) is rated "weak" because it has no numbers in it and "strong" because it has one number?

Recommendations are good but your's is biased <.<

🙏

I’m not talking about E2EE - I read your statement on that. I’m talking about basic data security on-storage. Things like “data is encrypted inside our databases, Capacities can decrypt it based on a users login credentials or similar information only we and the user know”.

There's also the topic of "we have no interest to access your data [even though we technically could]" - not sure if that is meant to reassure anyone?

Policy is all nice and well but how is it enforced?

What if there's a data breach - those people surely don't abide by policy?

🧵[3/3]

.. no protection at all from any unauthorised use by a third party that somehow got access to the running system (unless Capacities encrypts the data it writes to disc). An encrypted disc is only secure at rest / while unmounted.

Could you elaborate on the means of encryption employed?

🧵[2/3]

@capacities.bsky.social - care to spare a minute about Data Protection / Privacy?

I'm curious, in your Data Protection Memo you state "We strictly protect all your data against any access from third parties." which you do by saving data on "encrypted discs" which in practice is...

A notification from The NYTimes stating “Trump is set to meet with the Europeans Union’s top official” - making it sound like the Times has no idea who that person is or purposefully neglecting their name making them sound rather unimportant.

I know ignorance is a skill over on your side of the ocean but honestly @nytimes.com you can do better - she has a name, they all do and you are smart enough to look it up.

Otherwise why not phrase the headline “US leader to meet top official of the EU”? And make both sound equally unimportant?

What do you mean wrong basket? I fit perfectly.

I always wonder how these stats are calculated..

Using “anyone that ever played” feels like a completely wrong way. You’d need some form of “players in the past 30 days” or “people that finished the game” or similar.

Not really a fan of the stock BSky iOS app but @openvibe.social randomly doesn’t send me any notifications despite having permission and all.. and I don’t really open BlueSky regularly (unlike Mastodon) and so I really need the pings to work.

I’d do my daily “Morning delicious lovelies” here as well but BlueSky somehow doesn’t feel like a place that would appreciate the repetition..

Merci 🩷

Just testing.. but could someone @ me? I’m half convinced that my notifications are broken.
