Languages don't have goto because they mindlessly copied it.

I will never use a Windows laptop because it wakes up in the middle of the night to apply some stupid update, then glitches out, and can't go back to sleep. So every morning I find a laptop with a dead battery. Sometimes if I wake up early, it'll still be hot from whatever it was doing.

Fixing that stupid bug should have been easier than porting the whole OS and app stack and emulator to a new CPU arch. And I have no faith they fixed the bug anyway, so it'll probably still happen to ARM models. So no thank you.

Why was the reddit post source deleted?

Honestly, the mastodon obsession seems like a you problem. Talk about what you want on the fediverse. Maybe mastodon users see it, maybe they don't, who cares.

Who goes out of their way to install requests-darwin-lite?

As opposed to successful social media posts, which would never go viral by telling everyone how much everything sucks.

Must be using a cut down keyboard without an enter key.

Arena.

I have some older laptops that are 1080p, which was great at the time, but they are now obviously inferior at displaying text, etc. 4k can be overkill, 1440p (or 1600, or thereabouts) is usually fine (for me).

What is this "world of content" the author is talking about? 17 years ago, the streaming options on Netflix were the previous season of Friday Night Lights, and... that was it. A few years later they got The Office, but never the current season. So you were always behind. These articles never seem to include a graph of available content over time.

Some necessary caveats: This kind of attack can only be pulled off in relatively narrow circumstances by a dedicated attacker. Segal said the user would need to have installed a malicious browser extension or be in transit and use public Wi-Fi where their traffic could be intercepted and decrypted through a MITM attack.

Well, okay. Maybe there's something new here, but despite the many paragraphs of exposition, this sounds like exactly the sort of cookie stealing attack that's been possible for decades.

Is the big breakthrough here that somebody realized FIDO doesn't change that? Like, uh, no kidding? What's new?

You um... did know that um... mastodon did produce a um... product before the board change, right?

Real talk, the mastodon traffic stampede isn't that bad for a properly configured website.

Is there a seven paragraph summary or something I can read? It's a written document. I can just read it myself, maybe?

Every phone can have two batteries if you just get a battery pack.

So what should a regulated search utility do about SEO spam? Maybe publish an open source algorithm so I can test my spam before submitting it?

There's plenty of dumb to go around, but the word frunk by itself is the dumbest thing about this story.

Why in the world would I want to see more bullshit from weirdos and grifters I don't follow?

Here it is:

An alternative backend server for loops.

You'd think management at Netflix would look at the effect their changes have had on income, and uh, take that in to account planning future changes. Or something, right?
