Clown on JS all you like, but if git was perfect within a week of creation, why does it receive updates? 🤔

LibreOffice will function perfectly fine for a single user taking classroom notes, or making a presentation, or a spreadsheet, or what have you. You might notice it crash occasionally, but in the dozen or so times it crashed on me, it has a 100% success rate at recovering the file. It's kind of remarkable.

Pick your favorite chatter from the article. I'm quite fond of this one:

Among the juvenile jokes were more personal attacks. The account “ELON_MUSK_IS_A_PEDOPHILE” spammed Musk with the message “YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND WILL DIE ALONE.”

I recommend you read this.

Yeah I figured they went the Twitch approach. Desktop YouTube I still have ublock for, but there's no hope for the TV.

I have a pihole and the youtube app on a smart TV. Trying to block the ad domains from the TV just bricks the app. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but, I got no luck.

E-exhibit B?

Dennis Prager, Founder of PragerU which is now being taught to YOUR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL, NEVER spread his Urine at Arby's!

Don't worry I think his account is being facetious...

This would be REALLY Corrupt if the Current President, Elon Musk, had PRIVATE Business Interests in focusing on Mars! FORTUNATELY that's NOT the Case!

I mean... I could be wrong...

This is what Medvedev and Putin did in the 2010's, isn't it?

The prudity and hypersexuality are two sides of the same coin. In a culture where you are not allowed to discuss, portray, or explore sexuality, the only outlets for people's base sexual desires become unhealthy ones.

That's a brand new Cockney rhyme to me, thanks for the giggles!

These legal challenges are effectively bribes. The regime knows businesses would rather spend less money kowtowing than fighting a massive, nebulous lawsuit for years (with judges who are already in the their pocket, so you know which way they'll rule regardless of evidence and arguments).

So all they have to do is toss out an executive order or lawsuit revoking funding, or revoking security clearances, or going after DEI policies. The natural conclusion, even to the target company, is that fighting would be more expensive and not even likely to result in a victory.

"Disney settles with the FCC for $500 million" is the headline you'll read in June, which translates to "Disney paid Trump $500 million to leave them alone".

Misskey has a massive Japanese population in part because it was written by Japanese speakers.

Now that's a fucking gang tattoo if I've ever seen one. Not like the literal Awareness Ribbon. 🎗️

The US has a greater obsession with tattoos than Japan by this point. If you go to a place in Japan and show off a tattoo, the owner might ask you to leave. The US they'll gulag your ass.

On the one hand, one of the things we often tout about the Old Internet was the ability for anyone to run their own website, forum, blog, etc, free from corporatization. On the other hand, running your website is a responsibility on your part, and in the convenience-focused Internet we have now, seems to be a forgotten lesson.

On the third, mutant hand growing out of our back, fedi software should be designed with security-by-default, i.e. no open registration, to prevent the forgotten lesson from being a huge problem.

In the wild, it's far more common for them to just spin up a bunch of accounts across "good" instances (particularly those without registration applications) and coordinate.

In 2023, this happened to a ton of unsecured Misskey instances who then proceeded to spam most of the Fediverse. It was just a troll in reality, but revealed that the Fediverse is no less vulnerable to coordinated, sophisticated attacks (and with how politically minded it is, there's plenty of incentive for nation state actors to do so).

Just wanna say warm wishes, share your research if you find anything.
