It's kind of depressing to see otherwise tech-capable folks go "Firefox is so bad, Youtube is absurdly slow all the time" and not for a moment consider that maybe the problem there isn't actually Firefox, but rather the video site famously owned by an anti-competitive monopolist that also owns the most popular browser and so has a *direct interest* in making it slow on Firefox.

Apparently Google's campaign of "only optimizing for Chrome" is working. Fucking hell.

you think about how gameboy tetris has a high score board but no persistent memory

I love how the pandemic happened with the absolute worst waves over late December and early January and covid never went away and how big in-person events in January never changed a goddamn thing. They're still just in January at the height of plague season and they don't bother with masks or ventilation. Good job guys, you've learned absolutely nothing. 👏

Altijd leuk om boodschappen bezorgd te krijgen die je al een tijdje geleden had besteld.

Anna van vorige week vroeg zich blijkbaar af hoe lang de oven non-stop aan kan voor hij het opgeeft.

If you look at every investment in “AI” as the ruling ownership class trying to find a way to make profit without having to pay actual people, all of their enthusiasm begins to make sense.

The absolute most frustrating thing about stateres design so far, is that "you cannot prove that something happened earlier, only that it happened later"

Ruby and #Rails #jobs don't just have a junior problem. They also have a cross-training problem. Companies claim to have trouble hiring senior software engineers. Their job ads reveal why.

They aren't just asking for seniors--they're asking for years of experience in their specific tech stack. If you're having trouble finding workers but you're turning down people with 10+ years of experience in other languages who want to move into #ruby, you're missing out!

It’s foggy out! Used the pen torch and noticed it was casting a beam so took some photos and videos of it.

The Braillnet project exists to this day, although the BBS and phone numbers are down, users can still access their e-mail, the personal websites the users could create under the Braillnet domain are still up serving software, literature and music created by the community and the FTP with anonymous access is a treasure trove of early notetaker goodies, DOS and early Windows software and useful information in txt files that would have been of great use to the community back then. Always worth exploring it with a translation service of your choice. braillnet.cz/sons/bplus.htm

Instead of saying "I'm available to hire", say "my worksona is adoptable"

it's interesting how much anarchism has transformed the way I think about, well, everything really. it's almost less a political ideology and more of a worldview and philosophy to me (though the political side is ofc still essential). I guess this is what post-anarchists are talking about? I should read more of their stuff...

You may now point your terminal (emulator) of choice towards office.c3post.de:4711 and try the first version of the #38c3 Terminal Office (make sure to disable local echo/linefeed conversion stuff).

If you have socat available you can use basically any common terminal emulator with this command: socat stdio,raw,echo=0,echoctl=0 tcp-connect:office.c3post.de:4711
Telnet/netcat might also work if you know the correct options (I don't).

If algorithmic systems are harming people and they have little other means to stop them, why shouldn’t those systems be destroyed? @ali
