I am probably the most cis guy who ever cis’ed, but I think people should be able to change their gender the way they change their clothes. Sell HRT over the counter, go ahead. Let people experiment, have fun with it! It boggles my mind that anybody cares what other people do with their gender. “But it permanently changes your body!” Yeah so does a tattoo or a piercing, two other things I’d never do, but since I’m not you, it doesn’t affect me, now does it?

The Wombles rock.

smartphones suck, for all intents and purposes they're general purpose computers, they're devices with a user operating system where you can install third party binaries for doing various activities from work, to games, to communication, to media creation, and so on

but then phone makes go: nu uh, actually it's an appliance and as such shall have a tightly coupled and controlled hardware/software stack, where we get a final say what you can do or what software can even run on the device you bought and own

for fuck sake, just give me a pocketable computer with a sim card slot, it would literally be less work to not develop a whole custom bespoke environment just to make it harder for people to use the shit they already own

It's almost the end of the day, finally a pause for reading that book, and it's just the time that also Gale wants some head scratches, a quiet pause in the day shared with the person she loves the most.
BTW, I know for many of you it's strange but I personally love universes where there are anthropomorphic creatures and regular animals. So a dog can have a dog as pet.

While I do have some sympathy with this outlook; The author is treating Trump like an aberration.

Trump represents a deeper sickness in our* culture that the "progressive" side of our politics seemingly wants to address just as little as the conservatives. Because they too enjoy MONEY more than is healthy.

Trump is a thing because the conditions that allow people like him to /be/ a thing are tolerated all too readily by too many people who wear the cloak of virtue. People who turn a blind eye to poverty as long as it is wrapped in BLM regalia. People who do not understand why a large proportion of the voter base DESPISE them, and would happily throw their lot in with a monster like Trump.

The structure of our home is damaged. If you want to stop a future Trump, papering over bad plaster is no longer an option. Replastering is needed, and that process is going to be very painful for some of you in currently privileged positions. And if it is not; it is clearly not enough.

*I say our culture as what goes for America also goes for other English-speaking nations.

The like of Trump and farage are the end result of ignoring a cancerous mole that everyone knew needed looking at in the 60s. They let corporate fascism continue to exist under the guise of fighting communism and purge the left from politics, leaving meoliberals behind to wear the skin. They had an easier time in the US of course, it took until Thatcher to really gut the unions here. After she was done, they turned to the left, except the left weren't there anymore, just the center right, offering no real solutions because that would upset their paymasters, but happy to take things away. When all you get is people telling you that you can't have things and it's your fault, there's no wonder people turn to anyone who says it's someone else's fault.

'I will punish <X> and bring back <Y>' will always win out over 'I promise nothing but growth for the sake of investors' when most people don't have money to be part of that class, and the guardian columnist class handwringing about things they enable or telling people they need to work harder just pushes them further right.

Colin mastodon (AP)

when he says “we” he means the so many who never turn out to vote, and the % that does vote but loses when Trump and GOP have full power.

“Only” 10-30% of the country is actually pure evil. Vs what appears to be 50-100%. I think what they’re trying to get at. “Not my president” basically.

But yeah I don’t know what they’re trying to get at. Decades of missteps have allowed this.

Just looking at the latest on the Wordpress feed and came to the subheading "AI, Automation, and the Future of WordPress".

No.

GenAI is *not* automation, as that heading clearly tries to suggest. "Automation" implies repeatability, reliability and above all a *controlled* process. Today's AI (even if it was actually intelligent) isn't at all reliable, so it certainly can't be repeatable (at least not in a useful way) and is definitely not controlled.

So yeah, no.

The fluff boy simply watches with an affectionate smile, clearly amused by the chaos.

Looks like the swiping weirdness I've been seeing occasionally on my Pixel 6a recently is not a new thing:

Exact same symptoms as described here, but: on Android 16, only started recently, and doesn't tend to happen very often for me. (Still annoying when it does happen of course.)

While trying to debug a new bit of nginx config to connect to a PHP-FPM instance, I looked through my other site config files and found this at the bottom of one. I must have worked this out a year or two ago while debugging all this, and it certainly shows how nonsensical this stuff is. I wonder how it ended up like this.

Posting this in case it's useful to others trying to debug configs intended to interface with PHP-FPM. It is probably accurate for PHP 7.3 or 7.4, not 100% sure which was installed when I wrote it. Might also be accurate for more recent versions, who knows!

# The following parameters are required to get PHP-FPM to execute a
# script: REQUEST_METHOD, SCRIPT_FILENAME and SCRIPT_NAME.

# If REQUEST_METHOD is not present, PHP-FPM will check SCRIPT_FILENAME
# but not do anything more. If REQUEST_METHOD is present and its
# value is HEAD, PHP-FPM will also check SCRIPT_NAME but not run it.
# Otherwise it will check both and run the script.

# SCRIPT_FILENAME must be a pathname that PHP-FPM can stat(). It does
# not need to be a plain file and its permissions and ownership don't
# matter. If relative, it's interpreted relative to FPM's "chdir"
# (which is in turn ends up interpreted relative to FPM "chroot").
# security.limit_extensions is checked against SCRIPT_FILENAME, not
# SCRIPT_NAME. If anything goes wrong at this stage the error message
# logged is "Primary script unknown".

# SCRIPT_NAME is always interpreted relative to PHP's doc_root config
# parameter even if it starts with a "/". PHP-FPM must be able to open
# and read it or it'll log the error message "Unable to open primary
# script: FILENAME (ERROR)" where FILENAME is the value of SCRIPT_FILENAME
# (*not* SCRIPT_NAME, so not necessarily the file it can't open!) and
# ERROR is an error message, e.g. "Permission denied" or "No such file or
# directory". This is the file that is actually interpreted as PHP code.

@Krishean Draconis Yeah, this is just about PHP-FPM and how it interprets FCGI parameters to find a script to run, and should apply regardless of what web server is passing the requests to it. Nginx just happens to be the one I'm using at the moment (but I will probably have to do the same with Apache too at some point so I can offer a choice of either to web hosting customers.) I think most people just use a prepackaged config that comes with their web server so they won't need to know the details, but I'm hacking together configs from scratch and trying to do more "strange" things with it, so knowing exactly what's going on helps!

years ago when i ran windows i had a stripped down/minimal standalone nginx+php server config with all the binaries run through upx that fit in about 36mb of disk space that i used for testing random things locally, but that was so long ago that i don't remember any of what i did lol. i'm pretty sure it was using fastcgi, but i don't know if it was using php-fpm

As Adam Savage once said, it is very difficult to prank someone in a way that isn't mean. If you can do it so that the pranked one end up laughing with you, go ahead. If you can't, just refrain from doing any pranks at all.

@finalstaticfox

I always liked the saying "Pranks are meant to amuse, not to abuse."

Yeah, all pranks can be mean, but there's a difference between having some fun where everyone is ok with it and being cruel to someone who isn't ok with anything going on.

Having a good time is always wonderful, but just know who your audience is and be aware of people who don't want to be a part of it. :blobfoxhappy:

Every morning, the queen asked her magic mirror to show her the most beautiful person in the world.

The mirror replied "To whom?"

"The miller who made the flour for my bread," the queen would say, or "Whoever spun the thread my shawl was made of".

The mirror would show her, and she'd be amazed.

Whoever thinks it's a good idea getting software developers (or anyone else, really) to feed natural language queries into a non-deterministic model to generate software is quite insane.

The big problem I have with things like Claude Code (aside from the environmental and ethical ones) is that it usually works - which is very terrifying to anyone who is experienced with programming or just cares about correctness. Tech that usually works is tech that occasionally doesn't. If you had a phone that usually worked, you'd throw it out and get one that always works at the earliest available opportunity. LLM-generated code is seductive because it really does work enough to be functional, but secure, maintainable code is in the details. A huge portion of CVEs are from tiny mistakes that escape notice. How many of those tiny mistakes does Claude output? These risks can be mitigated by thorough and careful human review, but the nature of LLMs encourages moving very fast, leaving correctness in the dust. I have a feeling that there's going to be a lot of job security for white hat hackers in the coming years.
