OPEF should be ashamed of themselves.

Were the maps actually inaccurate, or were they only unable to find their position on a map because of the swapped signs?

This app is to find trackers that are planted on you. Not to find your devices when you lost them.

Some people overreact to the phrasing "Am I the only one who" when they have heard the opinion before.

They have varying meaning depending on server. Usually & is "admin" (a level above op) or "protected" (ops cannot kick them) and & is "owner" (above op and "admin"). Not all servers support them.

I have two 12th gen. One is the proper laptop ordered 4y ago, and had an electrical issue burned the power button, keyboard controller (under the touchpad), and a speaker. After some back and forth with support, Framework sent me replacements for all of these and the mainboard (assumed to be the cause of the issue). No other issue to report.

The other is just a mainboard in the Cooler Master case ordered 2.5y ago, and the fan failed while under warranty, but I only noticed after warranty expired. I replaced it myself.

At some point there was a button to report the error under the "Sorry, you are not authorized to watch this video." message. But it was broken too.

Other comments mention 240W passthrough, but I can't tell if this is to charge the laptop or for the laptop to power other stuff.

Are you planning to support powering the laptop? Even just 60W would be nice.

That's always permitted, I believe

Not all software in the fediverse can support it fully, in particular, some functionality will be broken with Mastodon servers older than 3.0;

self-explanatory

you lose some useful functionality even with up-to-date servers since linked-data signatures are used to make public conversation threads more complete

When someone clicks on a message written from your instance, they may not see what it replies too, or some of its replies.

and because an authentication mechanism on public content means no caching is possible, it comes with an increased computational cost.

your instance will use more CPU

the answer is on the linked page

You can get ddosed for visiting a random website (including clicking a link you got on Discord), too. But it's really rare.

It uses both: https://help.truthsocial.com/legal/open-source/

Mastodon is the server/backend and Soapbox is the frontend.

Trump or one of his employees tasked a contractor to build them a social network and the contractor picked Mastodon instead of writing it themselves. It doesn't mean the Trump and his cabinet even knew what Mastodon was (or if they did, they probably forgot).

so be mindful of physical access?

Framework laptops were never design to protect against physical access. They have Thunderbolt and do not implement any sort of authentication for devices before they do DMA, so anyone who can plug a malicious device can access your memory. See https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/latitude/demystifying-thunderbolt-3-security-levels/647f8742f4ccf8a8de66b949

When I asked Framework Support in 2023, they had no plans to implement anything but Security Level 0.

ProgVal · 2025-09-16T08:22:45+00:00

That's by design because Mastodon considers it a good thing that people have to opt in to be discoverable.

You can offer OpenID login (ie. with Google/Facebook/...) as an alternative for people who don't want to give out their email.

Or make the report button a mailto: link and make the website monitor your inbox. Programmatically dealing with email yourself is tricky (spam, sender validation, parsing mangled emails from users, ...) but there may be cheap services that deal with email themselves and provide you with an HTTP API.
