"Google has criticized the European Union’s intentions to achieve digital sovereignty through open-source software." Umm...ok...I think I can see why they did that, but lets read further... "The company [Google] warned that Brussels’ policies aimed at reducing dependence on American tech […]

One of the shops I wandered into is an Oaxacan goods shop and they had a whole section of dubious herbal remedies. One of them seems to have been packaged by someone who also thinks it’s dubious.

https://discourse.gnome.org/t/anime-girl-on-gnome-gitlab/27689 this entire thread is giving me an aneurysm why are some people like this? imagine being upset at a neko girl, who by the way can be removed if you just financially support the project to begin with, or with ublock if you're really […]

I may have accidentally stumbled into writing an RSS reader

Okay… after trying one, the Apple Vision Pro is super impressive. If I can find one used for a good price I’ll probably pick it up. #applevisionpro

First proper ski day of the season! Resting in the lounge rn, gonna head back out once my legs are less angry with me. As a beginner it’s tough relearning things I first learned last season, but it’s slowly coming back to me #skiing #mtsunapee #garmin

Friend: The only reason I downloaded Ghidra was to patch out the license check for IDA Pro Me:

current code project: a macOS/iOS application that acts as a quick-and-dirty JavaScript REPL, that I can use instead of a browser console #software #macos #swiftui #javascriptcore #javascript #swift #showfedi

I was worried my new TRON Legacy 4K Blu-ray was unreadable based on some good ol' manufacturing defects... but thankfully I was able to do a complete read and it worked fine! It would've been a giant pain in the ass to get a replacement with it being out-of-stock everywhere... #tron #bluray […]

got my #radwood pictures back from the photo lab! here's a few of them, I think they came out great!

If all the people who work at airports told you, "don't fly that airline," I hope you would listen. When all the musicians who have the freedom to be honest tell you, "don't use Spotify," you might consider other options for listening to music.

in light of recent discourse about paypal: https://bsky.app/profile/witchofavalon.bsky.social/post/3m5z7cejv722m i've written a web page about NSFW payments in current year that I intend to send to artists I commission: https://www.piflnoso.net/payment.html

The #lovejoy concert last night was fantastic!! So glad I finally was able to catch one of their live shows

put together a #lego set for the first time in many years! i need to do this more, it was a nice chill way to spend my evening

dear people saying to switch away from #keepassxc: what should I switch to? what else supports p2p syncing (via Syncthing), passkeys, and uses a file format supported by software for just about every platform?

Great conversation between Jesse Brown of Canadaland and @pluralistic about Canada’s moment in the #enshittocene and what we might do about it. #cdnpoli #elbowsup https://www.canadaland.com/podcast/1256-how-to-unshttify-canada-with-cory-doctorow/

I think Windows users have just grown used to how much bullshit they have to deal with on a daily basis

maybe it's finally time for me to get a degree #openuniversity

good news and bad news. good news: i might’ve found a bunch of extremely high quality apple keynotes from the early 2000s. bad news: i had to buy the various DVDs for a bad amount of money off eBay entering my "fuck it we ball" era

When setting up his free-use fantasy tied up on a popular cruising trail, he forgot one important detail: arranging a pick-up time. After nightfall, the wild high-level beasts of the forest come out to play, and how could they resist a stretchy new plaything served on a silver platter?

A dive into FUTO, the sketchy right wing org that's falsely claimed musl & many other projects as its "grant recipients": https://drewdevault.com/2025/10/22/2025-10-22-Whats-up-with-FUTO.html

hm. i wonder what this may cause

An extremely common problem I have noticed among traumatized young adults who have difficult parents is that they don't realize they're adults. They reason about their parents as if they're still 8 years old and subject to absolute authority. If you're over 18 and live with your parents – […]

bruh taylor swift's new album is so bad the jewel case fell apart in my hands the first time i opened it there are now (more, this isn't uncommon, fuck jewel cases) jewel case bits all over my desk

Fuck google pay, apple pay, any payment system linked to a phone. Fuck a cashless society. I needed to use google wallet for some event recently and couldn't because I'm running grapheneOS. Refuse to use this bull shit. The card processors are a cartel but […] [Original post on neuromatch.social]

I am informed that the rubygems leaders who were ousted in the coup have regrouped at https://gem.coop/ with a new gems server.

We went from "we will deport the worst of the worst" to "we will deport anyone here illegally" to "we will round up anyone who looks wrong" to "people who live in cities are the enemy" essentially overnight.

Pritzker pointing out that ICE lies first and immediately, knowing journalists will catch up later if at all. Coming from a sitting US governor, that’s an amazing breakthrough […] [Original post on mastodon.murkworks.net]

"But that's not precise! They'll flag people doing nothing wrong! Skilled operators won't get noticed either!" That doesn't matter. Are you afraid - perhaps of being wrongly targeted? If you're afraid it's working perfectly.

Here's how #surveillance works: Watch what is normal to learn what is not normal. "But my life is boring! I've nothing to hide!" If someone sees enough of your boring days, they can easily tell when your day isn't boring to you. Perhaps because you're up to something? If someone can learn […]

Hot take: `curl [url] | bash` is no worse than `npm i [package]`

[nsfw - dildo, anal] today at the "gym," leg day

this was my favorite scene in dune prophecy

Another small victory today. A salesperson had almost convinced a client to move their email from 365 to Google because "they hold all the cards now". I stepped in and suggested they keep their email on servers that they control instead. The salesperson almost mocked me, treating me like a […]

#septENMber Day 25: Bliss and Ignorance - (Posting this one early for Reasons™) I'm sure everyone was very respectful and chose not to see through the illusions, right? #enm #ene

@dalias Agreed. I might also suggest that Substack, Bluesky, and other media companies present the same kind of problems as legacy media, so in destroying said legacy media, we shouldn't seek to recreate those terrible power structures elsewhere.

I’m so sick of how every new webpage is “an app” with unnecessary amounts of browser statefulness and the inability to open things in new tabs in parallel.
