@abucci Your boss works for NATO / DOD / Northrop Grumman right? Just to be clear
@eaplmx presumably it means the control or leadership is located outside of it somewhere š
Is some drama happening with Gitea? Do I need to pay attention? š§
Iām not sure why people are upset by autopilot deaths when cars in USA alone kill something like 3000 people per month š¤
If Elon stops twitter from lecturing you like a kindergarden teacher whenever you use mildly offensive language it will be the best improvement to the site in 10 years
š that guyās post is actually pretty interesting to me. SSL is fugazi? Can it be? š§
@eaplmx How many shared nix server things are out there do you think? I really like the idea but I havent found one that grabs me š¤
My biggest complaint with the web in general is often Iām looking for 100 bytes of information but to get it I have to load a spyware application suite pretending to be a html doc
I group my tabs in Safari and then never see or think about them again š
I donāt understand why, in the 12+ years since tabs became de rigeur, nobody figured out a better UI than a tab bar š¤Ø
@prologic I actually donāt use twitter but every forum nowadays is 60% links to twitter so š¤·
@prologic I really mean give up reading twitter, blogs, and forums all day at work and getting annoyed at peopleās non stop arguments with no benefit to myself š
I need to give up the internet but what to replace it with? š¤
thanks guys these are some good ideas š
Maybe I should just make a new branch for each line of code? š¤
How do people who write a lot of code keep track of stuff they plan to write but havenāt? Just curious. I usually write #TODO and then whatever. Often a placeholder function or something. Seems messy tho
Search anything on google involving a nono word: the results are just lectures about not using the nono word and have nothing to do with the search š¤
@mckinley It creates a file valled wget-hsts or something
And why does wget feel the need to generate its own hosts file inmy home directory??
Also thereās too much crap in my home dir. Why me???
Another thing Iām not a fan of is GNU adding massive flags to core utilities to replace what used to be a single letter with āsome=crap that looks like someoneās novel
Gotta say Iām not a big fan of the default gitea main page
@prologic I didnāt see that youād released the source. Good stuff
@prologic Iām getting so frustrated with google duck.com etc that I might do something drastic
@prologic Yea thatās what I was thinking of!
@mills did you ever get your own search engine going? š¤
Thereās a lot of cynicism from the guy on the street in my town this year for some reason š¤ š
Itās lake Erie š. They dont call them āthe great lakesā for nothing
I love being at the lake!
@maya cuz itās defeatist and quite possibly collaborationistā¦
@prologic I just downloaded the new testflight edition of Goryon!
@lyse @movq I used to fold mine up and put it in my bossā office. The height of convenience
sorry for literal twitter link i cant upload img to my own server right now š
@ullarah I just mixed the beer with mustard powder without measuring it. š Maybe I put salt in as well, I donāt remember
Anybody make beer mustard? I just tried something I made about 3 years ago with āwhite rajah IPAā and powder and i would rate it 11/10. Iām surprised at its power/flavor. Literally 10x better than anything at the store and 2-3x better than the mustard i make from seeds
Itās incredibly funny that yarnās userbase is ~73 people since itās basically mastodon but 10000x better š
The domain I would use is a reference to ssb lol. Iāll probably do it.
Should I run my own pod guys? Is that a good idea / the whole point of yarn? š¤
@prologic *high times thinking* can you lower the price of an iPhone by launching it into orbit? *space nerd*
@lyse i mean with dogs and cats etc they can get along with humans but shorter lived guys never developed that level of socialization š
this may be the wrong thing to say but ive been clippering my own hair for a year and I love the FREEDOM (as in beer) it affords me
@jlj i always get green too but I dunno if it means anything š
@prologic I mean theyāre doing it as a way to thumb their nose at Elon but they arenāt gonna stick with it š
@prologic I googled it and according to some rando they paid or otherwise convinced Twitch streamers to use it and it blew up after that š¤
It wonāt last itās performative
@movq @lyse I love birds but apparently sparrows only live 2-3 years so i feel my ability to ābe coolā with them are limited.
I think the average person will put up with a lot of bullshit with a new app or a new website if they think thereās something on there that they want. Like if their friends are on there, or maybe some porn, or a video game, or a cat video. Period. And most importantly if they think theyāre going to get a long-term use out of it. For example if they think thatās where their friends are going to be. They will commit
a funny thing happened to me yesterday.. i was using lynx to read a bunch of gopher and gemini sites and thinking to myself, āwhy did I switch from lync to links? š¤ ā Then I went to some wiki page on http and remembered: āOh right itās because links can block all cookies instead of asking on every page!!! š³ā
@prologic im super butthurt rn over the discord irc debate. people think typing a ā/ā is harder than confirming your phone number & emailā¦ maybe theyre rightā¦
@marado @prologic prologic whats your opinion about the āself hostingā barrier to entry for stuff like yarn/mastodon? Even the paid service model has this problemā¦
@ullarah I just donāt like the marketing about āartificial intelligence!!!!ā š
@slashdot @ullarah hereās my theory: trump gets unbanned, I lol a little, go back to not having a twitter account š
Anyone seen that Dalle2 stuff? Iām a machine learning hater but Iām very impressed by what theyāve accomplished.
My new theory of āhow to make the internet better, for me personallyā is an āoffline firstā strategy that IN THEORY rss should be perfect for. However about half my feeds donāt include their page content in the feed. Isnāt that a pain?
im reading āleviathanā by thomas hobbes and i just feel bad for him lol
guys im drunk but you ever think about how this is the first time in history there were several billion unique ppl to meet and talk to? in the old days you only had a few hundred per city. life is short but. all the tech stuff we all love is fairly immaterial compared to that
@prologic this is my struggle. every time. i ask myself. why?
guys i found a job i want to apply to but itās a perl shop š. im learning perl rn after avoiding it for 6 years. money talks?
@mckinley ive actually had a great time for the last 10 year never editing a single config except to add hostname or whatever
@ullarah im running ununtu rn maybe ill test it
@eaplmx thats why i store all my food on top of my refrigerator. Even the comparatively intelligent mice cant figure it out
chronological timeline is undefeated
did anyone ever think about how āŃŠ¾ŃŃŠøŃ disinfoā is just doing the same shit adverisers do every day? modern social media is literally built on showing bullshit to people against their will
@eaplmx Iāve met and killed many cockroaches, but Iāve never seen a nest
@carsten its not that screenshots are disabled system wide. its that the video window appears black in the screenshot. lol
do posix core programs accept pull requests? i want to add working dir to $(who)
lsof most powerful unix command? š¤
#nerdshit tfw grep and lsof are the only tools you really need for log analysis / finding out what dir your enemies (fellow users (my own tty in tmux)) are in š§
time to send an email i guess lol
@mckinley its cray because its just a config issue on their end
I use links (and ff) and franklyā¦ Iām lovin it
thebulletin.org (my favorite news site) is blocking RSS w cloudflare. Wtf. How am i supposed to read their articles if my computer cannot
