That's only partly a shitpost by the way, yes, your SIM card probably has a JVM or some other kind of Java environment

I gotta do like a Big Thread about this sometime on my blog that I don't have, but for now I've gotta say, Actually Making The Effort to use the e-reader rather than my phone for reading books has paid me dividends in Chill

Oh dang! So many good memories circa 2009.
Add it to the graveyard of stuff Microsoft destroyed. :P
I mean, Google has a graveyard of things they removed/discontinued, and things that never caught on.
But only Microsnot could spend billions to buy something that was thriving and then just smear it into the asphalt like that.

@joepie91 at a rate of around 1 device running java per year,
Also most of those devices are probably SIM cards
2.7 billion years ago, life came to exist on this planet. 3 billion devices run Java. Coincidence?
Probably, honestly

Time to reshare I think. “I don’t want my portraits to hang in your offices, because the president is not an icon or an idol. Hang pictures of your children there and look them in the eyes before every decision” – Volodymyr Zelensky

Remember when it comes to cops Shut the Fuck Up.
Yes, you may still get arrested but cops can basically arrest anyone for any reason, shutting the fuck protects yourself so when the cop has to actually prove something you haven't hurt yourself.
Also don't consent to a search.

US politics, war in Ukraine
so what would happen if a leader of another country punched the president of the United States in the face? is the Secret Service trained to respond with deadly force in this scenario? would there be a shootout between the two security details?

US Politics
If you're feeling helpless right now watching the country collapse around us, this video by @adamconover might bring you some hope.
It's time for some of us to leave our comfort zones and get loud.
Here's a quote from it that I absolutely loved:
"Average people have been getting squashed by bullies like Trump and Musk since the founding of this country and the only way we ever stopped them was by kicking their asses. But we didn't do that by keeping small, and staying safe, and playing Stardew Valley while we waited for our next chance to vote in four years, we did it by fucking shit up."

World pol, general neg, death mentioned
I’m so fucking done with all of this. The worst part is that I have no privilege to close my eyes and walk away, as my family is under constant shelling for the past 3 years, with 1 person already taken by the ruzzian aggression that the west is so impotent to stop.
No idea what to do. Of course I have no choice but to continue what I’m doing, continue to support my people and my family, continue to oppose the terrorist state of ruzzia, and all of that.
But I wish I had options. I wish the states of burgerreich and ruzzia would fucking implode with as much riots and violence in the government buildings as possible so they never pose any threat to anybody.
World order is no more, UN means nothing, NATO means nothing, international laws mean nothing.
All I can do at this point is to wish, and to hope.

Everyone who distrusted Free Our Feeds was 100% right but in a more hilarious way than anyone anticipated: what if we take the bluesky firehose.... and put it on a blockchain

Honestly anyone who has ever been bullied would immediately recognize what's going on in that meeting between Trump and Zelensky, and it's not an "argument"

browser development meta
@joepie91 hmm.. yes kind of.
The thing is, if we had a wel chosen subset of browser features which would allow for 99% of all use cases and that got branded and the spec frozen, then people could design for it and an ecosystem that supported it could grow and normal browsers would be able to show the results too, because its a subset of the web.
without that, everyone makes their own subset and half of links/pages you open are broken because they use unsupported stuff
