WTF

Apple Quietly Made ICE Agents a Protected Class.

Internal emails show tech giant used anti-hate-speech rules meant for minorities to block an app documenting immigration enforcement.

Looks like @cycletoronto.bsky.social also issued their own action alert for the Sheppard Avenue East project which you can sign here. Blog post has been updated to include it. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.cycleto.ca/move_forward...

Meshtastic iOS app breaks EU law with sending lots of telemetry (logs, usage) to DataDog in US wthout user consent and without any kind of notification of the app doing so.

I reported this as issue and it got immediately closed without any explanation […]

hey wanna see something kinda interesting? this was the entire fix to the iPhone Antennagate in 2010. 20 bytes.

(this is going to be a very long thread 🧵)

Assembly code between iOS 4.0 and 4.0.1. It's basically the same except one instruction points to a different address.

A lookup table tweaked between 4.0 and 4.0.1.

@rzaichkowski.bsky.social It's so sad, shows again that Carroll is turning to the right, I fear that it is her strategy to run a future mayor race.

Yes it’s true, AltStore is joining the Fediverse 🥳

Developers can now federate apps, updates, and news alerts to the open social web via our custom Mastodon server, and all likes, boosts, and comments will appear natively in AltStore.

We plan to release this officially soon — but you can check […]

Metrolinx's attempt to puff up adding 1 train to the 3 round trips to/from Niagara Falls backfired. Original news release said "8 trips *in each direction*" instead of "8 trips each day". Maybe we should avoid word inflation. H/T @wb62.bsky.social for catching this. urbantoronto.ca/forum/thread...

Original Metrolinx statement about a train service increase to Niagara Falls:

"Beginning Nov. 1, weekend service to Niagara Falls will increase, with eight trips in each direction on Saturdays and Sundays — making weekend travel more consistent and flexible."

Netflix cancels Queers ultimatum.

On one hand this show was absolutely insane, real shit show. So I get it.

But, it comes with lots of cancellations and pressure against Queer culture in the US, so the timing is suspect.

@bmann.ca nice!

@bmann.ca it’s pretty good. What’s the distance?

@seanyyz.bsky.social i think its because we do assume the info is accurate. If I see on google that the dvp is closed, my reflex isn’t to check apple map.

@pycomtois ça vient avec 4.5.

Pour les serveurs sur 4.4.5 qui l’ont, ça vient avec un flag qu’il faut activer manuellement.

So #partiful, which can build a full graph of people’s social life with email + phone number… is a startup from former employees of #palantir

Given a motion from Councillors Carroll & Burnside could defer the Sheppard Avenue East project, I sent a letter to Mayor Chow & City Council calling them out over the recent bike lane backpedalling & encourage you to do the same. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2025/10/lets...
