Sadly, like all good things, this too must come to an end.

Between rising server costs, my waning interest in self-hosting, and saving up to upgrade my car, I’ve decided it's time to pull the plug :) I plan to shut things down sometime in the next few weeks or months; I haven't set an exact date yet.

As for lemmy-federate.com, I plan to refactor and migrate it to Cloudflare Workers -which should be cheap enough to run- unless someone else steps up to take it over.

Honestly, it was a great run while it lasted. Cheers everyone. I kiss you.

Call me crazy, but I don’t think an official government app should be loading executable code from a random person’s GitHub account. Or tracking your GPS location in the background. Or silently stripping privacy consent dialogs from every website you visit through its built-in browser. And yet here we are.

The White House released a new app last week for iOS and Android, promising “unparalleled access to the Trump Administration.” A security researcher, who goes by Thereallo, pulled the APKs and decompiled them — extracting the actual compiled code and examining what’s really going on under the hood. The propaganda stuff — cherry-picked news, a one-tap button to report your neighbors to ICE, a text that auto-populates “Greatest President Ever!” — which Engadget covered, is embarrassing enough. The code underneath is something else entirely.

Let’s start with the most alarming behavior. Every time you open a link in the app’s built-in browser, the app silently injects JavaScript and CSS into the page. Here’s what it does:

It hides: Cookie banners GDPR consent dialogs OneTrust popups Privacy banners Login walls Signup walls Upsell prompts Paywall elements CMP (Consent Management Platform) boxes

It forces body { overflow: auto !important } to re-enable scrolling on pages where consent dialogs lock the scroll. Then it sets up a MutationObserver to continuously nuke any consent elements that get dynamically added.

An official United States government app is injecting CSS and JavaScript into third-party websites to strip away their cookie consent dialogs, GDPR banners, login gates, and paywalls.

Abraham and his wife Sarah are promised a son. It's taking a long time so she has Abraham impregnate her handmaid, Hagar. Hagar has a son called Ishmael. But eventually Sarah has her own son, Isaac, and casts Hagar and Ishmael out into the wilderness.

Isaac, the favoured younger son, marries Rebekkah, and has two sons. He favours the older son, Essau. Rebekah favours the younger son, Jacob. She tricks Isaac into making Jacob his heir instead of his favourite son.

Jacob falls in love with a woman but is tricked into marrying her older sister first. He ends up marrying both of them and having 12 sons with 4 women (his wives and their handmaids) and he favours the youngest two because they're the sons of the wife he loves. The older sons sell the second youngest into slavery because they're mad dad favours him.

I guess the moral is parents shouldn't play favourites
