Being a pacifist leads to a lot of tedious conversations because I'll say something like "man I feel like we'd have fewer problems if there was less violence", and then a violent person will immediately reply with a contrived hypothetical situation that they think is a witty takedown that proves the necessity of violence, and it's just like, an example of yet another problem that was caused by violence. Or something like that. Like, cool beans man.

Zouden jullie willen helpen om ons account wat zichtbaarheid te geven? De telescoop is heel leuk, en de 5000 volgers op platform X waren vast niet alleen maar bots, en 5 hier is echt te weinig. Boost dit bericht, dan schrijven wij vanuit Dwingeloo over al het moois aan de radiosterrenhemel.

I'm trying to print something, but it's not sized for letter-paper, which is in my printer. So if I let it get natively scaled, it ends up printing too close to the edge of the paper and cropping off some vital info.
so I have to resize the paper (but not the contents). The only tool I have that seems to be able to do this has to split it into 3 separate files, since it's 3 pages. Fine.
so I print them seprately.

my printer rejects page 2

Why doesn't ADHD have identity first language like autism does?

Also can we get a new name for ADHD because four syllables is annoying

Seriously considering putting a user agent check on my website that warns users that they're using a bad browser if they're using Chrome (or any popular chromium browser) and they should switch to Firefox for maximum compatibility

okay here's a rundown of the fediverse

🖤 there's no ads, everything is mostly run by volunteers because they believe in it

🖤 timelines are chronological, there's no algorithm deciding what you see. to see more, follow peeps and hashtags (and post in em, too!)

🖤 this place is SOCIAL social media, as opposed to the corporate social media you're probably used to. most are here to interact, not build clout

welcome to fedi!!! happy to have ya 😁

The researchers from the company Midnight Blue got funding from NLnet, which in turn gets funding from the EU Horizon program. The Dutch emergency network C2000 uses the TEA2 cipher, which is classified under Dutch law. I don't know the classification level, but you go to prison for a few months. I find it quite funny that the European Commission funded reverse engineering an algorithm the Dutch government classified as secret.

Source from 2012: https://www.security.nl/posting/34870

That source article does not say it is classified, but the fact that you go to prison for having it in the first place implies that it is classified information, as far as I understand

When viewed as a single entity, the government could have saved a whole bunch of research money by simply publishing the specifications, but that would have been too embarrassing and legally hard to do I guess.

People out sick at work with “the flu” or “that cold that’s going around”. Kids out sick from summer camps we run. Teachers out sick from summer camps. It’s JULY. There’s no cold going around, it’s not flu season. All you motherfuckers have COVID, but nobody wants to say the C word out loud. Enjoy your exciting new long-term health conditions.

USB has a plug-n-play implementation that makes a ton of sense if you're a chip vendor - you can register a VID and PID and have kernels automatically load the right drivers for your product.

But when individuals build things that return data via serial, there's no plug-n-play mechanism beyond just loading the serial driver. Is there a standard of some kind of detecting what *kind* of serial device has been plugged in? Like a userspace daemon that reads some kind of preamble from the serial device and can then load a program to handle it?
