fucking Microsoft was bombarding the one and only public repo on my forge so bad that it OOMd my 32 GB of RAM server what the FUCK

Matrix moderation, Element 

Here are some things that Element could have done years ago to mitigate the abuse issues, but didn't:
- Move invites to a queue that is not visible or attention-grabbing by default
- Homeserver-level support for subscribing to shared ACLs
- Protocol-level support for synchronizing ACLs across rooms in a space
- Track associations between media files and the messages they are referenced from, so that they can be automatically removed alongside their messages
- Automatically hide images from newly-joined users behind a spoiler tag

All of these are viable from a technical perspective, most of them were suggested years ago already, and this list is not exhaustive either.

Think about this next time you see Element talking about how much work they've been doing on safety and how there's just not many things left that they can do.

"Hmm, what's what weird smell outside?"

dear parents if you suspect your child is queer and you aren't against it please tell them that. that in case they are, they can trust you and that you support them. especially if youre like 90% sure

...does anyone have any suggestions for a Discord-Shaped-Object (DSO) that isn't owned by a big bad?

I'm testing Matrix but want to keep my options open. Main use-case is a server with 4 people in it making art/music together.

Maybe the real Ship Of Theseus was the parts we replaced along the way

When assembling my new Kallax was part-way done, I had had enough of assembling stuff so I started filling it with the stuff I wanted to put in it. Which is also partly done now. Oh well. To becontinued. Rome wasn't built in a day either!

Also, do you have #ADHD and feel bad about having a bunch of unfinished projects, abandoned hobbies, unread books, etc.?

Yeah, you should stop that.

You have a neurological bias toward novelty and poor executive function. You're probably using up all your self-control to do the things you need to get done like work, chores, and errands.

As long as you aren't digging yourself into a financial hole, cut yourself some slack with the stuff you do for fun. It's gonna be messy, and that's okay.

I wonder if part of why Nix usability is so bad, is just because the only usability bar it's ever had to meet originally is "better than C++ package and build systems"

https://catgirl.ai/log/year-of-the-desktop/ wrote a blog post about an OS that seems to be popular these days that I just couldn't get into :/

i opened a seafood-themed gym called Muscles & Mussels, but business tanked, i got crabby reviews, and now i'm just floundering

The problem seems to go away if I disable window previews on hover, but those same window previews used to work fine before, with no lag...

: In KDE Plasma, if I move over the taskbar/switcher rapidly with my mouse, it takes longer and longer to re-render the taskbar and its highlighted application, to the point of eventually taking several seconds per render.

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this, or how to fix it? Am on NixOS.

I don't want to be on the blockchain. I don't want to mint NFTs, I don't want to vibe code. I don't want to beg you to hit the 'subscribe' button and ring the bell. I don't want to game the algorithm for your likes or your views or your shares or to be on the first page of results or to get recommended. I don't want you to gift Nitro to my server. I don't want the thumbnails of my videos to have a red circle and question mark next to a faked expression of surprise, I don't want to pay for items that give me an advantage over other players. I don't want you to take a moment to hear about today's sponsor. I don't want to pump a meme coin, I don't want to craft prompts, I don't want to influence. I don't want you to watch me react to watching a video.

I'm seriously sick of this shit. All of it.

Instead of a mens and womens section for clothing it should just be "pockets" or "fake pockets".

A bad picture of an excellent, cheap-and-easy-but-healthy snack: home-pickled carrot. Or at least, it's easy if you have an electric grater!

Ingredients are grated carrot, about 1/5th vinegar, 4/5th water, a few crushed 'sugar' cubes (actually stevia/erythritol cubes), some chili pepper flakes and miscellaneous green herbs (chives and basil, this time). Total cost is like, 1.50 EUR? For a batch that'll last me for 5-10 of the pictured servings.

Mix into food storage container (one of those glass IKEA things with a plastic lid with silicone seal ring, in my case), let sit in fridge for a few hours, done!
