the other thing i will never get tired of is seeing cis straight boy streamers getting extremely confused about kiri's gender because she's soft butch

will never get tired of hearing streamers playing kitsune tails say "this plays exactly like a mario game"

getting the physics right was gruelling so it'll never stop feeling nice to hear we stuck the landing

PSA: you're allowed to play and enjoy games on the easiest settings. This is your free time and you're not less of a gamer for playing games the way they are the most enjoyable for you.

Brought to you by me who has gotten back into Raft on the "peaceful" setting. I don't want to fight sharks, I just want to fish for resources and build. 🤷‍♀️ So that's what I'm doing.

The EU and honestly any other group of nations can fix the American IT hegemony problem, they can fund universally available FOSS tools that run as cloud services or locally for smaller orgs/businesses. It would not be that expensive, the work force to do it is global and very enthusiastic. Hosting is basically the same (though if you hosting was free your data was never yours) and many tools, already exist. We run infra on Next Cloud, and most of it works great (the email client is meh)

Octopus Energy posted me a 321 A4 page electricity bill printed out on paper as a physical 5cm thick package (on their "Agile tariff" the rate changes every half hour, so there are 48 line items per day). I enquired as to why they'd done that?
Apparently they tried to email it first, but the 15 MB email exceeded my email server's size limit, so they posted a hard copy instead.

Sure, #LetsEncrypt, you can say that using certificates with the ClientAuth UKE is a minor use case and that this functionality was never guaranteed to always be available and all of that. But the fact stays: you are removing a feature from your certificates that has been here for a very long time, just because Google demands this. Why Google wants this? I will ask them. But I am quite sure that this #oopsie side effect is not an oversight.

Just at the time where all over the world discussions are happening to move mail servers back into organisations big and small instead of relying on the big email providers, due to risks associated with centralising email at (US) providers, you are willing to make life even more complicated for us postmasters. This is not what you should be doing. You should make it easier to use encryption instead of telling us postmasters find out ourselves where we can buy certificates in future.

Dear #Letsencrypt, you helped secure millions and millions of servers, not just web servers. But your announcement at https://letsencrypt.org/2025/05/14/ending-tls-client-authentication/ about ending Ending TLS Client Authentication Certificate Support in 2026 because Google changes their requirements would result in your certificates becoming a possible risk for ensuring SMTP traffic. Please think again. Please.

RCS can't cope with a SIM changing number.

Mind-blowing that this is such a common issue with RCS that multiple mobile providers have articles about it.

eg. https://www.1pmobile.com/ask-penny?cprefs=agree&question=Why-does-RCS-show-the-old-SIM-number-after-a-port-or-a-renumber

I presume the USA doesn't have number porting?

Alles helemaal volgens schema, "tussen 10 en 11; met handtekening" en om 6 over 10 ging de deurbel.

Maar geen handtekening.

Nee die zetten ze zelf. Onder mijn naam staat in het digitale overzicht een krabbel die niet van mij is. En eigenlijk vind ik dat niet kunnen... 😬

We desperately need to reset the terms of the conversation, because the tech media by and large is too cowardly (or too dependent on their corporate overlords receiving major ad revenue by the very peddlers of genAI) to frame the narrative accurately. To wit:

Extreme pro-AI: using and promoting genAI tools.
Moderate: choosing not to use genAI tools and warning others about it.
Extreme anti-AI: attacking the physical infrastructure of genAI companies.

If you look at LLMs - a technology created through exploitation, for the explicit purpose *of* exploitation - and you conclude "well there might be legitimate uses", then your judgment is frankly garbage and you're looking for excuses not to have to take a real position

Let me be very clear. I do not advocate for violence. I am a pacifist at heart, and I believe we will accomplish more through peaceful yet “loud and proud” advocacy along with class solidarity.

Regardless, Generative AI is tied at the hip to fascism (do the research if you don’t believe me), and it pains me to see pointless arguments over what constitutes “vibe coding” overshadow the reality that all genAI usage is anti-craft and anti-humanist and in fact represents an extreme position.
