Those of us who never started using Server Functions are vindicated

So I had a video I had legitimately bought on iTunes. Tried to watch it, but I can't. Some DRM bullshit means the file can't be used without Apple's ongoing consent. So I pirated it. Because that's the only way to actually get media that works

Let's be honest: I would watch TV all day and swiftly slide into depression

I'm also a bit anxious about a Jevon's paradox situation. I.e Code is cheaper, so we make and use more of it, which is likely to lead to more issues. Most of the cost of systems is in maintenance not build. We will see, if it was going to have a huge impact we should be seeing it.

If a parking spot is empty on Black Friday, it never needed to be built in the first place. Today is an opportunity to document the physical footprint of excessive parking requirements while you happen to be out shopping.

Not really getting the Bluesky bluecheck. Having DNS for user names seemed like a better option, and I don't see what the value of a checkmark is compared to that

I wonder when the #QuestWorlds printed books will be available. Did I miss them? @chaosium.bsky.social @icooper.bsky.social Do you know?

France's cybersecurity agency was previously actively using GrapheneOS. They helped us by auditing our code and submitting bug reports such as this one: github.com/GrapheneOS/h... They also made suggestions for security improvements to improve protection against exploits.

Please listen to this podcast about ANOM: darknetdiaries.com/transcript/1... The FBI ran a string operation in Europe where they created their own 'secure' phone and messaging platform. Their OS used portions of our code and was heavily marketed as being GrapheneOS or based on GrapheneOS.

just learned that the internet archive lets you play flash games inside the wayback machine now

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed. I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

This is arguably equal to black lotus in that it can also get you three mana on turn one. Yes, the color is more limited, but it also has the Mox option.

There's an IBM Cloud outage right now. Well, there could be. How would you know

Traditionally, the standard for whether you can afford to buy a house is a 3:1 price-to-income ratio (i.e., if you make $50k a year, you can afford a $150k house). Every single major city in America is over that ratio, except Detroit, Cleveland, Memphis and Oklahoma City...

I love how they're trying to be supportive but only know how to be racist and sexist. You'll figure it out eventually bro. I'm pulling for you

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Server Charms are tiny, portable microcontroller setups made with recycled vape batteries. They create their own Wi-Fi network, inviting curious people to connect with their devices where a captive portal opens, leading to small webpages. codeberg.org/actinomy/ser...

over on the other site i got into a multi-headed hydra of an argument and then the rate limit kicked in and i couldn't post. unbearable; people NEED to know that they're wrong and i'm the only one who can tell them

Trump just happens to exist at the culmination of the 50-year conservative media project since the 70s, the 35-year Christian Nationalist project since the 90s, and the 25-year expansion of executive power/erosion of civil rights post-9/11

Happy birthday, Cow Tools

This is a really interesting position we've managed to get ourselves into.

Somehow, some of the responses manage to be lamer than the original post here

Globally unique identifier rundown: DNS: Centralized coordination (ICANN) but fast ENS: Decentralized consensus (blockchain) but slow Local-first: No coordination (UUIDs) but ugly

#NoKings is a great way to convince people they're doing something while keeping them out of trouble and getting their names put on a list. Absolute L

I feel like this is just a promotion for The DaVinchi Code

When you say "the sky is blue," you're making such an obviously wrong statement -- we all experience sunsets, night skies, some of us have seen sandstorms or fires turn the sky orange -- it's clear you're misrepresenting the facts and aren't trying to have an honest good faith conversation.

I think it's good that they're setting their sights on something they are likely to actually achieve

Reminds me I need to get my vim setup working again. And modernize it. It's over a decade old

it's not FOR us

Me: My deck was tier 2 until they added Seedborn Muse to the game changers list. Now it's tier 3. He: I think Seedborn Muse is pretty powerful though... Me: Oh, it totally deserves to be on there. It was an Aw Yeah moment whenever I got it

While providing tech support for my FIL: FIL: What's that screen? ME: The terminal. You should never use it. FIL: Never? ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself? FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

Suppose you accidentally walked in on a bunch of lizard people with their human disguises half off. How would you go about telling anyone about this without being dismissed as either joking or insane?

It wouldn't start being a *good* law if it was 13, but it would at least be understandable as eyeroll worthy reactionary policy. 18 is just like, what the actual fuck you can drive a car and have sex but not download an app to your phone?

The problem with reading between the lines is that sometimes you're reading implications that the author absolutely wanted you to get, and sometimes you're just reflecting your own prejudices back at yourself

Wow. This seems like a giant own goal then

I hate it when a "protocol" requires you to stand up a persistent endpoint on a DNS resolvable host
