Last Notes npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1dts…6798 The part of this story I'm missing is whether or not this Pad Thai was spicy enough or not. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1dts…6798 There's a few places I've wondered about after seeing both seemingly always empty but open for business for numerous years on end. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1src…fms4 Yes but this pales in comparison to the number of "tech lobbyists" on payroll to keep Google and friends from being regulated. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie So now that I'm writing my own PC monitoring software, I have to shoehorn this thing into every possible use case, of course. I have some niche features which only are useful to me personally, but I'm also building some tools to configure parts of Windows often abused by scammers: I'm giving myself a little Swiss army knife to protect folks around me from scams. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1c0m…xqjl It's wild "best inventions of 202x" doesn't apparently require they release it before awarding it. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1u3t…c6ug I mean, the US is not exactly well-known for recognizing the Hague to begin with. The law applies to thee but not to mee has been sort of our go-to approach, unfortunately. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1efv…4jx2 My favorite part is him saying the last bubble was useless but proudly maintaining the current bubble will be the fourth industrial revolution. Introspection only helps you so much, it seems. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1s2r…7gng The biggest threat to the Internet Archive remains Brewster Kahle himself. I've yet to see any of the self-awareness he needs to remedy that fact. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1u3t…c6ug Dropped my ballot in the box earlier today here. 🎉 npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1836…8jp6 @npub163w…kltl But do you keep a Zip drive handy just in case? npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie The only difference between Steam and Ticketmaster is that Steam hasn't tried to maximize value extraction *yet*. #monopoly #steam npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1lrv…tth9 This is the difference between a bench trial and a jury trial. A judge can be convinced of a legal technicality that the company's definition of a market is accurate and fair. A jury is going to look at the fact that they operated like crooks and rule accordingly. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1wuw…pjs5 Bad Google format pushed at the expense of better ones (JXL) which also just had a major security vulnerability. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie So far I've only noticed one effect of disabling WebP in my browser: YouTube thumbnails apparently can't fall back to decent image formats. #webp #youtube npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1xzm…eykm I mean, I'll be getting one just because my 11's screen is starting to fail and the battery is starting to wear down pretty badly. Nobody needs a phone anymore before their old phone starts failing. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub19lt…qfjk USB labeling is ridiculous, USB 3.1 should offer speeds well above 480 Mbps, but it doesn't have to. Technically cables built for like 3.0 or 3.1 can state they support 3.2 but only at the speed that the older version was rated for. It's a complete mess. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1zj4…fyjh Pre-auth RCE on a security edge device... the stuff of nightmares. Happy Sunday to everyone who owns one! npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub15x0…0cx8 @npub1asa…n9sr @npub1xrj…9q43 @npub1fl6…kwvj From a practical standpoint, because it's the law, and being reckless and stupid and refusing to recognize it puts the IA's entire body of work at extreme risk. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub17lg…9uux They are absolutely catching up to Microsoft's core competency of badly naming products. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub15x4…3p3l Makes sense. Russian troll farms have to consider $8 an incredible bargain compared to spending months building a following organically. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1pqk…z65u It's actually been there for a while, I'm friends with the developer. But the model and approach of Yarn is a bit different, so there's both technical and social differences in the connection. For example, Twtxt users tend to practice "slow social", Yarn doesn't implement notifications, by choice. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1su4…a0dw I loved their Surface model but I stopped using it because I was super concerned it was going to crack the screen, and people online indicated my fears were justified. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie @npub1pqk…z65u @npub1w7a…tpn3 @npub1gsm…5y8l Indeed, it's silly to create your own standard unless you're trying to accomplish something significantly different or significantly improved from the existing one. Right now a single app has chosen an incompatible federation protocol they wrote themselves. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie #[0] #[1] Agreed. So many of these expansive malls just look stunning and insanely cool. It really does suck how difficult it is to imagine a different reuse for this sort of space. npub1swrat28nhzglrjpm2tdun7mzwx9h6gqhs8mfnmcdujw2znaq0qesxxftm4 ocdtrekkie #[0] I think I saw a comment that nobody but Eugen handles these emails currently, so... you're waiting for the busiest person in the fediverse. Hopefully as they hire more people that should get better.
