publishers sue the Internet Archive
As a scientist and teacher, I will not write or peer-review for any journal from these publishers, nor will I use their books in my classroom, because their emotionally immature stunt risks the collective memory of the Internet.
Whether or not the "National Emergency Library" is ultimately a reasonable idea, there are good ways and bad ways to approach the issue, and Hachette, HarperCollins, Wiley and Penguin Random House have chosen a bad one. For two decades, scholars have been asking, "What value do publishers actually add?" Answers vary, but a bitter "not bloody much" is prominent among them. Undermining our social and technical infrastructure in a time of global crisis only gives that view more weight.

consider: instead of making neural nets, you could make super simple chat clients not take up an entire gigabyte of ram
@ida I've had Telegram climb up over 10GB if I leave it open too long.

accessibility, all developers read this
You as a developer need to test and improve your applications support for assistive technologies. The simplest way to do this is to install Orca or NVDA and use your application as normal with a keyboard. If you want advice on this, please direct message me to ask me questions about improving your applications.

HOW DID THIS INDUSTRY OF FULL STACK DEVELOPERS COME UP WITH ‘HAMBURGER’ AS THE DESCRIPTION OF THREE HORIZONTAL LINES INSTEAD OF ‘PANCAKES’?
I MEAN, IT IS IN YOUR SELF-ASSIGNED TITLE!
Clearly they were all half-stack devs.
@wizard $5 per user per month, so $60 per year.
I want a cheap offsite backup for my server, but I'm currently using almost 19TB. A lot of that doesn't need to be backed up, but it'd be nice to have important files backed up somewhere. The platform doesn't really matter as long as the backups are encrypted.

new bit: person who saw people talking about 'fursonas' and thought they were just talking about pets they have, so now they keep posting pictures of their cat like "check out my fursona"

torrents are great
@witchfynder_finder I discovered this by mistake at work when I was trying to press Alt + ; to comment out text in emacs.
@wxcafe I've found that large finger trackballs work better for games and precision movement than thumb balls. Thumb balls can be comfier though. I have a CST that I use at home, a Kensington Expert that I use at work, and an MX Ergo that I keep in my backpack to use with my laptop. I alternate between using my thumb and fingers on my CST depending on what I'm doing.

look if MS-DOS is so great then how come there’s no MS-TRES?
@thufie I use transmission-daemon on my server. When I set it up, I liked the transmission-remote-gtk client better than Deluge.
It would be neat if there was something like popcorntime that would work as a frontend for other torrent clients, to keep everything in one place.

@stolas@elekk.xyz Last time I tried to get Netflix working on a RPi, I had a lot of trouble getting the DRM working. There are Netflix plugins for Kodi, but sometimes they will break when Netflix changes the DRM.
Kodi has good Jellyfin integration, it's like Netflix but self hosted. I use it to stream media from my server.
adult topics (severe), genitals, surgery
@body Oof. I had a botched circumcision as well. I didn't have any skin bridges, but my skin was cut so tight that erections were painful, and my skin sometimes tore and bled. I don't know if I'm trans, but I have felt dysphoric around my scar, and the appearance of my genitals.
