  • Dude had an anonymous birdsite account with about a dozen followers, all they did was retweet stuff critical of the government, and somehow the government identified him and sentenced him to death over this. How did they find this info? Twitter outright gave it to them, therefore they became accomplices in a death.

    Seems to be VERY tech related.

  • VERY understandable, requiring a GPU would limit it's application and spread, i hope a good GPU-less solution is found eventually

  • I am saving this post for the future, informative! Thanks!

  • Until Gmail/Hotmail decides your IP is a spammer and forever you have deliverability issues from then on

  • Last i saw, the physical media version of their recent shows came with a box and a code to get it online, not actual discs, so they're effectively getting out of the business of letting you own your media

  • Nothing specific, but Postgres date management is really, really useful, i can do a query on a date, parts of a date, timestamps, compare dates and times, intervals, all sorts of powerful operations. SQLite seems to have none of that, the date seems like a courtesy item added later as an afterthought because somebody asked or something, it has absolutely none of that, and when i have to do things with it it's painful, relying on doing operations on the Unix epoch of dates for most stuff because the dates themselves are not really usable. Was hoping somebody else had done something to improve on this but doesn't look like it.

  • Still have a faint hope for Relay

  • Seen many attempts at "Brand/Series/Game/Fandom OS" over the years, and now i wonder if it wouldn't be better to spend the effort on theming engines or something over a base but functional distro, and then have a gallery of themes to choose from that applies them on everything from the bootloader screen up to the mouse cursor. Want to switch to some other Brand/Series/Game/Fandom? Apply this and reboot, you get the other one. Like the ancient MS Plus but much deeper since Linux allows for a lot more these days.

  • This is by the ChatGPT guy himself, all the rest of the crypto world is pretty much in flames

  • Your password is stolen you can change it. Try changing your eyeballs when somebody impersonates you.

  • I keep feeling that there's a disaster being brewed there, the only people paying attention to young boys seems to be the alt right, and there's a need for this which everybody seems to dismiss, every single one of the old style support structures for masculinity have been dismantled over decades, and while they were right to be dismantled all these boys still need the support to actually grow into decent people, and no one is giving it, and these crazies have noticed and are using it as breeding ground for soldiers for their cause. The decent people side must create something for them even if it's to avoid them falling into these dens of craziness.

  • Excellent job!

  • So, essentially it's 4chan's Bump system?

  • No, no, the seeds of the site's downfall have been planted by the administration, you gotta remember these sites depend on a tiny amount of power posters, not to mention the moderator contingent, which they pissed off. Not all migrated away, but enough did to hurt the quality of the site, and any that remain will remember. They HAVE lost a lot and haven't noticed yet. Sites that big will not fall in a day, it will be alive a decade from now, like Livejournal or Slashdot are still alive.

  • I believe there's people already working on that, but no idea how they're doing these days

  • Significantly
