Every so often I used to post this infographic about @Torrle and the stapler wolf and giant paw.

It's nice to see Fang, Feather & Fin did a larger writeup on it:

overheard: "Linux? What is that?" "Oh, it's like Android for Desktop."

Normally, this kind of advice is framed more positively, but I want to be absolutely clear:

Don’t put yourself down.
Don’t apologize for existing.
Don’t tell others they should feel bad for knowing you.
Don’t wallow in shame.

Even if you feel bad, or like you’ve something to atone for, that kind of behavior doesn’t help you or anyone else; debasing yourself does nothing to process negative emotions or to take responsibility for your actions - and nothing hurts your loved ones quite like it.

Sometimes you can tell a lot about a person by the domains they register. For no particular reason, I was looking at the domain footprint of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and found a phone number connected to her over the years that was used to register mtgforamerica[.]us back in 2021. The domain's registration records are hidden behind privacy services from anonymize.com, but their privacy system assigns a unique email to each private registrant, so you can still do a reverse search on that and find out what other domains are registered by the same account.

Domaintools finds 21683@anonymize.com was used to register 156 domains, including supportkylerittenhouse[.]com and repealjuneteenth.com. Here's the full list if anyone's interested: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xy7FDYtN-YGyv29XZ08wf_Z1OPAemfmccpVqwZ-ci50/edit?usp=sharing

this is the kind of thing I point to when I say that blocking ads is effective in blocking an entire vector for malware distribution

In this house, we don't kinkshame.

We kink-enable. 😏

Being a furry with lots of wonderful and varied friends means that (almost) no matter what degenerate filth crosses my timeline, I know somebody I can send it to, safe in the knowledge it'll give them an inappropriately timed boner. :3c Muehehehe~ #furry #kobold #phone #kink #teasing #comic

The three act structure of storytelling:

1) Aw shucks do I have to?
2) Living the grindset and barely scraping by and shit keeps going wrong
3) Finally. Can I go home now?

TRON was released 42 years ago today. This film was so far ahead of its time.

Tron with Disc, Ektachrome continuous-tone transparency:

We're all lonelier than we want to be, and we all think it's our fault.

It isn't.

Modernity has been optimized for labor, not for life. The result is the destruction of spaces and institutions in which you can make new connections as an adult.

And in a very real sense, this is what the owners want—if you are alone, you cannot organize resistance to inhumane conditions. Instead, you spend your time further optimizing yourself for labor, telling yourself (and others on LinkedIn) that you are living the dream. It's someone's dream, alright.

I don't have a master plan for how to reclaim a sense of local community, but I know that without it, we'll never be as united or as strong as we could be.

does anyone know / is anyone here a #UK solicitor? i need a wee thing: nothing serious at all, but i'm just wondering if it's possible to do it remotely and so would love to chat v briefly to someone about it and get it sorted if possible.

thank you!

I think the most regrettable thing about AI is how the resource requirements quickly became abstracted behind datacenters.

It costs so much power (and therefore emissions) to run, but because we now fire these requests off to AWS / Google Cloud we don't see the damage we are doing.

Goes for regular workloads too, but x1000

AI means Google's greenhouse gas emissions up 48% in 5 years

The tech giant says it will be difficult to meet its net zero target due to AI using so much energy.

Few things piss me off more than a huge, multi-billion IT corporation that suddenly sends me an email regarding an open-source project I’ve been running since 1990’s that I’ve recently shut down due to absolute lack of interest from its users… which happened to be telcos and large IT companies. Here’s what I replied:

Thank you for your email. As it’s often the case with open-source projects, their value to organisations is only noticed and appreciated when they go offline. I have maintained pam_tacplus for the last years and it had the call for sponsorship prominently displayed for most of the time specifically because it’s a legacy project that is difficult to maintain. None of the commercial companies that clearly do rely on it ever demonstrated any interest in even nominal donations, so it was archived. While it’s notable someone finally noticed it, I’m not the person to discuss any future development any more.

I did work in large companies and I do understand the sick logic that drives them, when it’s easier to get approval for annual spending of $50k for some office decorations than $100 for a mission-critical project which happens to be open-source and can be used for free for some time.

But it’s possible. If you’re working in such roles, please make every effort to get this $100 because otherwise it will become your responsibility to develop and maintain code that you always got for free.

polyfill.io was crazy huh, we just let a third party run any JS without even checking integrity. lol

anyway please add this snippet for google tag manager, marketing needs it
