Last Notes npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @nprofile…3qha Not a Delta Mike Zulu? npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @nprofile…3qha At least we know where to aim. npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @nprofile…3qha There was definitely a broad base of support then for military action and security — one which was viciously abused in ways that we are still now seeing the fallout from domestically, let alone internationally. That's said, as others have, I cannot let that statement that everyone was all in go unchallenged — tens of millions of us were dead set against it and in the streets trying to stop what was in the end as predicted — another round of pointless warfare that left the country and the world a much worse place. npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @nprofile…3qha Oh, of course fucking Pablos knew him. That tracks. npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta Yet another big decades-long environmental ad campaign revealed to mostly be about reducing risks to corporate profits by turning it into an individual responsibility — just like consumer recycling and carbon footprints: https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-sinister-origins-of-americas-anti-litter-movement npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta I've been instituting exactly this kind of cooldown/delay on dependency updates at all of my clients for four or so years and I'm glad to see more people talking about it: https://blog.yossarian.net/2025/11/21/We-should-all-be-using-dependency-cooldowns npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta Delighted to see China getting ahead of the game and banning scraping that circumvents technical restrictions and some kinds of deceptive advertising and monopolistic platform practices. Them claiming global enforcement scope (enforced by among other things market access bans) is also an interesting move; curious to see how it plays out in practice. npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @nprofile…rg89 I feel like very few movies that showed what machineguns can do to a mass of unaware humans in any kind of visceral way would be commercially releasable npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @nprofile…gu7x Yes. Please. npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @nprofile…d2rl I can recommend getting a voip.ms account with a US number for calls like that — it's going to be cheaper than either a AU sim from the US or (once you move) a US sim from AU. Also sympthy on that whole thing — Finns have a lovely thing where they just won't answer at all until they have a complete answer even if it takes, but also sometimes will choose to just ignore stuff in English or if they don't want to deal with it instead of telling you, and figuring out which is which is impossible. Much stress. npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @nprofile…7nxw Hey, do you know if there's a solution for Flickr legacy accounts? We had a pretty important and prolific photographer in the larp scene die a couple of months ago. Next of kin have control over the account and are keeping it paid up, but it's not a great longer-term option. npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta Police remote-scanning the NFC tags in your library book and cross-referencing them with your plate from the ANPR was not on my dystopia checklist. Time to go back to barcodes. https://archive.is/bYszD npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @npub102v…jtrj Ah yes, the traveling flower-sniffer problem npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @npub1psd…9sr7 While it's not quite as pretty, the Dell 8k monitor is half the cost, if you can drive it npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta @npub1psd…9sr7 I believe that depends whether the device has use cases where surviving the owner is a requirement. While I believe this applies to relatively few pieces of container electronics, I'm not willing to say there are none. npub1rfth0en0ft89gc2p35m8mvpkk2twmvun3j2ahj0e5f5j3yfmtd4sxst8qa Eleanor Saitta Does #icanhazpdf work here yet? Anyway, if anyone's got a copy of the current SOC2 trust criteria sitting around, I wouldn't mind it.
