Whole lot of games are going to become insipidly, performatively anti-woke.

We have to stop the Google/Apple mobile duopoly. And we have to stop the marching enshittification of society. More concretely, we have to fight back against Google's attempt to lock-down the whole Android ecosystem. https://f-droid.org/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html This […]

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

Exactly this 💯 #actuallyautistic #neurodivergent

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

It's gonna be fun in a couple of years when companies convert their code from 20% legacy code to 100% legacy code (where legacy code is code that nobody in the company understands or actually owns). We already had too much incoherent code in many places where people edit it that have no idea […]

I was thinking about Dad today because it’s 9/11. He came with us to Seoul when we picked up my eldest. Our first adoption. He hadn’t been since the army. ‘58. A lot fewer bullet holes and a lot more buildings, he said. We had a blast. /1

we should refer to the author of the Harry Potter books only as You-Know-Who.

things no-one warns you about when you decide to convert over a hundred pieces of classical music to chiptune aesthetic: sometimes there are so many notes, so quickly, that Magical 8-Bit will drop note-end events on the floor and now you have the infininote. thanks a lot, Edvard Grieg

@jerry I'd like to turn on MFA/2FA with a Yubikey instead of a phone app. Do you think that'll be possible any time soon on infosec.exchange?

> A Blackburn spokesperson said she is against the public’s use of computer-assisted facial recognition to identify ICE officials but supports police use of the technology. That's the most blatant "rules for thee but not for me" I've ever seen.

@ApostateEnglishman This is perhaps also a post about neurodivergent people.

#google: We need to limit #sideloading, #googleplay is so much safer! Meanwhile in the real world: https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/26/apps_android_malware/

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware. #android #google

@regehr do you know if someone has looked into an nfa to dfa style transform to grammars for recursive descent parsing of ambiguous inputs?

Condolences to all of the LGBTQ teens who were rejcted by their families and committed suicide or were tortured by conversion therapy because of bigots like James Dobson. I suggest we commemorate James Dobson's death by sending a donation to The Trevor Project. https://www.thetrevorproject.org/

Ok. New plan. We keep the LLMs busy with «create a fully standard compliant browser in Rust» while we rebuild democracies and international order. It’s a win-win, they’ll be busy for a few years and best case we’ll get a new browser.

I want to read a #compiler book written in the last 15 years that covers same topics as the Modern Compiler Implementation book by Appel, but uses recent terminology, tools and techniques. Any recommendations? #compilers #programminglanguages
