Somehow I assume you don’t associate capitalism with chattel slavery and apartheid. But you do associate corrupt authoritarianism with economics when it is system that you don’t like.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever read.

I’d love to see a robots.txt do a couple safe listings, then a zip bomb, then a safe listing. It would be fun to see how many log entries from an IP look like get a, get b, get zip bomb… no more requests.

Do a DMCA takedown with Etsy. They are violating your copyright. Copyright law kinda sucks but it’s the only tool we have to enforce stuff like CC licenses.

Why would you want a simulation version? You will get saved at “well rested.” It will be an infinite loop of put to work for several hours and then deleted. You won’t even experience that much, your consciousness is gone.

I am more alienated by the processes surrounding everything. If I had to do idiotic agile sprint bullshit and also write mind-numbingly boring code I would lose my mind. Luckily I have gotten away with making improvements in architecture so it is at least an interesting problem on occasion.

It sounds like this author would feel better working on open source, a passion project, or a deep academic paper. I think I’d prefer that also. I wish it were easier to live while doing that.

These are like Lauren Bobo, Gaetz, and Green. This is unfortunately not a principled stance but instead because their cult leader told them to “KILL FISA!” IDK if better is the word. It is certainly a broken clock that was correct about that particular time of day.

Simply having something sane like score voting would make third party candidates viable and would increase the people attempting to run even with a difficult application process. We can then work on making it easier to apply.

It’s literally just replace FPTP with score (or even ranked choice) and things would improve from there even without other changes to the election system.

FPTP voting is keeping us from having a functioning and free country.

But they didn’t vote to stop surveillance? It was not stopped. They are the majority and they did not stop it.

We just saw an attempted hack from having the xz library loaded into OpenSSH via libsystemd. Linux kernel and glibc are large enough without adding yet another thing that’s contrary to the Unix philosophy.

I still have systemd on my distro because that isn’t my top priority. I respect the efforts of everyone trying to keep it out and wish them success. Same with every distro trying to use musl.

Oh but that requires money and effort, and creates a fair exchange for the purchaser, no can do. Hardware companies are more focused on how to force people to subscribe to their own devices.

I’d love this. Medium is such an irritating enshittification of the web. It used to be just a nice and crisp content host, so of course the nanosecond they have inertia with users they start walling shit off. I usually bounce if I get linked to it.

Unfortunately nowhere near enough traitors were hanged for their insurrection and now here we are.

“but Google does!!!”

Meta, but yeah. It’s built for a company that is trying to continue ads and addictive behavior even on the millions of aging devices that have software versions from years ago. Large portions of it do not make sense for more typical companies.

LOL, “hey guys this thing hasn’t changed in years, so we need you to convert your simple API request into a big ol’ POST describing the entire model.”

GraphQL is so stupid about collections of objects. If you want uniform pagination for different types of objects you have to write separate types for each.

I don’t like how it composes things together. Kindof awkward when the subportions of the query need variables. Nested objects are great to form the query to just what one needs but then extra steps to decompose into what you’ll actually have client-side.

I have a text replacement ahb to 🌎👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀 for scenarios like this.

Hopefully this at least forces Microsoft to rethink riddling their bullshit with ads. I feel sorry for people who are still stuck with that trash for whatever reason.
