If I were unfathomably wealthy, I would move to a house in the southern hemisphere every year on September 22nd, so I could start getting longer days again immediately. Of course I’d reverse the trip on March 22nd.
Just don't move to my part of the southern hemisphere unless you want it to be too hot to do anything in that sunlight. Maybe Kiwiland though I've never been, since I wouldn't fit in any of the hobbit houses.

My monthly assessment of "how are Ofcom doing with this OSA stuff?" involves opening a non-VPN'd private browsing window (default setup, no adblocking/bypass extensions etc, UK IP address) to google dot com, typing gay porn and clicking search.
How far down the list of results do I have to get before I see some lads going at it? Today? Three. The third result. There are many other results on the page that work too, only about half have any sort of age gate. Some of the ones with age gate I could bypass by just hitting the back button after the redirect and tapping play again.
Indeed, if you click on the Images tab in Google the first result is gay porn.

Today I also learned that Ofcom are going after Aylo/Pornhub because they don't think they did enough "due diligence" before allowing Apple's iOS based age verification to be used... So Ofcom are busily hounding providers that have - honestly - tried their best to comply and make the process as private and frictionless as possible for users. Good job. Nice work.
Investigation into whether Aylo has failed, or is failing, to comply with its duties under the Online Safety Act 2023 to prevent children of any age from encountering pornographic content on its service through the use of highly effective age assuran…

and this is DESPITE the fact that they want to introduce device based age verification as well. This is so obviously not about the children, and the fact Ofcon are purposefully doing this against Aylo demonstrates it.
with Scotland being told that there's data centres planned that require double what Scotland is already using, I take a dim view to anti-AC and "personal responsibility" rhetoric at this point.
I know I've recommended the novella, "Ogres" by Adrian Tschaikowsky before - very much a parable.
And this one is a tribute to Street Fighter, my favorite fighting game when I was younger. I blame the arcade machine that the neighbor store had next to my mom’s studio and then having the Alpha 3 game for PS1

Remember me, though I have to say goodbye. Remember me; don't let it make you cry. For even if I'm far away I hold you in my heart, I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart.
Remember me, though I have to travel far, Remember me each time you hear a sad guitar. Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be— Until you're in my arms again… Remember me.
When a wizard dies, their spells unravel. But the pattern lingers a while.
When Fitzglob died, other wizards swarmed his tower, trying to find his time-stopper room, which you exited as soon as you entered, no matter how long you spent inside.

I am so 100% serious about this: putting little streamers on my bike handlebars has made drivers approximately a million times less asshole. They wait behind me when I’m going up a hill. They let me turn left.
Our father, who art in source control, hallowed be thy `main`. Thy merges come, thy builds be done, downstream as it is upstream. Give us each day our detached HEAD, And forgive us our rebases, as we forgive those who rebase against us. And lead us not into submodules, But deliver git-send-email. For thine are the commits, the trees and the blobs, For ever and ever, --amend.
They're the ASCII backtick rather than an apostrophe on purpose – my intention was that readers would recognise the convention used in Markdown for marking a word as literal code. (Even if you're not a Markdown user yourself, many people working with git-based projects will have seen the convention anyway, in commit messages written by people using Markdown-based forges.)
But the ASCII backtick is a spacing character, not an implicit combiner, so why your font renderer has chosen to put it _above_ the m of main is beyond me!

interesting thing i learned today from a lot of grepping in the apache access logs, although percent encoding spaces is valid per the specification, real browsers will never encode spaces in query strings as "%20" (they always plus encode them)
so if you have a form that only uses get requests to send data to the server (data is sent in the query string) you could use the following rewrite rules to block some bots:
Missing the west coast and bummed I couldn’t make it out to ASC as originally planned but I’ll be seeing you all soon, stay tuned 👀 Ft. phantomq #morefurlessmonday #fursuit #furry
Good lord, is it really that long? I remember thinking that I'd seen photos from people who'd fursuited on planes, even been able to go to the cockpit with their head on, and being idly disappointed that I'd probably never be able to try that. Of course, the fursuits back then were mostly what we'd now call partials, possibly not even including feetpaws.
Anyway, not wishing to detract from the gravity of the 11 September attacks, but this is the kind of thing that sticks in a person's mind. Slightly more than half a lifetime ago now, for me.
25 years later, I find I don't really have much to say about it. It was tragic, it was awful, America's never really recovered from it, but some people have certainly weaponized it.
@High Strung Coyote - He/Him Huh, neat. Not at all the spontaneous, one-off nature of the pre-9/11 ones, where a single individual could just show up as an animal-person with all the curiosity from others and the fact that you're just doing this for yourself that that brings with it, but still, kinda neat.
Good to see someone finally covering this. Yes, your smart TV is probably listening to you, recording you, and if you have a camera on it probably recording you inside your home.

I like to imagine a place where time moves slower, and an afternoon can simply be an afternoon.
This is Aud, a little Dakotaraptor who was such a lovely character to draw. I really enjoyed working with him and giving him his own little moment here.
Inspired in pictures of the Red Lotus Lake Kumphawapi, in Thailand. I wish some day I can visit that place.

The 2020s so far have been a constant stream of “You say this new tech was created by an open fascist? One hellbent on white nationalism? Loves ethnic cleansing, and total control of media and state? Cool. Cool cool cool. OK, sounds good, then I guess we’re going to promote it as hard as we can!”

Just shit-canned a spam ticket, but not before noticing it was claiming to be from an "AI consultant". What is there to consult about? You ask the LLM for something, it gets it wrong, you ask again, being more specific, it gets it wrong more subtly, you get more and more specific and it keeps finding ways to screw up, then when you finally get something barely acceptable, you realise it would have been far quicker and with far better results to just do it yourself. How does a consultant improve this process, other than siphoning off your money in the meantime? The best improvement would be to just Do It Yourself.
