That is not true. Many attacks (e.g. the recently revealed Operation Triangulation) do not have persistence.

For me, once Apollo officially stops working I won’t have any ingrained habit for reaching out to reddit. I stopped using the website years ago except for reading search results that point there.

I’ll admit I’m not the biggest FOSS evangelist, so this comes with a grain of salt. From a right to repair standpoint, I don’t care for Apple’s policies at all. But from a security and (perhaps counterintuitively) user experience standpoint, I agree with Apple’s walled garden approach, locked down OS, and single app store. We see the alternatives in Android, and we see how much worse its security is.

I don’t, but a coworker uses an ergodox and I’ve been eyeing it lately

Yes it is. While I’d heard of Mastodon in the context of Elon’s Twitter dumpster fire, I had no idea it was federated or what the fediverse was. I like it so far, with the obvious caveats that there’s plenty of room for improvement. I’m hoping to learn more about how the platform works technically so that I can contribute a bit.

I’d be happy to help contribute as best I can. I don’t have much Rust experience but I’d like to learn more. One thing I’m noticing: I like that there are a good deal good first issue tags for the backend repo, but only one for the frontend. I’m not sure if there’s really that far fewer intro tasks for the frontend or if they’re just not tagged as thoroughly.
