Last Notes 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 @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 The only difference between Steam and Ticketmaster is that Steam hasn't tried to maximize value extraction *yet*. 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 @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 @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. 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 #[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.
