@maia Moral of the story: yes, an 18 year old doing legalese shitposting at lawyers is absolutely a viable way to deal with baseless legal threats
@maia Oh yeah and I just kept replying to their formal legalese letters with similar legalese bullshit via e-mail that boiled down to "lol. fuck off", eventually threatening to sue them for harassment if they continued contacting me
The next letter I got was from a different lawyer office entirely, and it was the last one I received, and nothing ever came of it
@maia I'm reminded of a little conflict I had with a company when I was 18, who demanded that I took down my hobby project because it was eating their userbase
Eventually they tried to basically acquihire me. After repeatedly threatening me with legal action. You'd think that they understand that that's not really the correct order if you want someone on your side, and yet
@maia thank u for ur ted talk

one day i will do a conference talk on how to as effectively as possible fuck with corporate lawyers and waste their time + corpo resources without consequences but i don't think now is the time yet
@f0x "Deterministically broken" is definitely a level above the usual printer fare 
nl pol, police violence
So in NL, leftist/climate/social/etc. activists consistently get beaten up by police and arrested overnight to break up protests, with zero recourse or consequences
Meanwhile a bunch of nazi-adjacent farmers in tractors have been blocking highways all day today, endangering drivers, and issuing explicit threats of violence to politicians, and the police are "in talks with them" and "do not have the capacity to break it up"
@f0x Well that's where the cheap stackable whiteboards from emergency Action trips come in :D
@Vierkantor They don't seem to like air currents, for what it's worth
@f0x By the way, completely unrelated, did you know that action has very cheap stackable whiteboards https://www.action.com/nl-nl/p/magnetisch-whiteboard-5/
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Now I'm thinking about a keyboard that's just all trackpoints, one between every key
@f0x The problem with todo whiteboards is that, eventually, your list will end with "buy extra whiteboard"

"(...) 58% of the rapeseed – and 9% of the sunflower oil – consumed in Europe between 2015 and 2019 was burned in cars and trucks, even though their climate impacts may be even worse than fossil fuels. Supermarkets have had to ration vegetable oils and prices are soaring,” said Maik Marahrens from the campaign group Transport & Environment, which carried out the research. “At the same time, we are burning thousands of tons of sunflower and rapeseed oil in our cars daily. In a time of scarcity we must prioritise food over fuel.”
The famed efficiency of the free market is yet again on display for everyone to marvel at its perfection, I see.
@kim Mainly:
- Some SSH-based tools just don't let you set a port at all
- It's security theater - real-world automated SSH scanners can and will just enumerate the entire port space, so it doesn't really do anything to begin with
@kim One of many reasons why I think "run SSH on a non-22 port" is actually bad default advice...
@cassolotl I have very little hope, unfortunately. Using accessibility features as premium bait is a long-standing practice in the freemium market... :/

can't stop thinking about how the movie Cars basically proves that if the USA were built for sentient automobiles and no humans existed, the country would look basically the same.
@juliobiason Pretty much. And not for the first time, either: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/intellicode/issues/201
