How the Grinch Stole the Fediverse parody. Long serial thread, updated daily. 

4 identically shaped parts which twist together to form a regular tetrahedron. Inspired by @robinhouston's recent post (but with a different split)

It's 2022, and #Android STILL can't simply DISPLAY #PDFs without saving them to storage and opening them in a third party app.

It would be cool to have a bot, e.g. @proverbs@golemwire.com, which posts a verse daily from the book of Proverbs in the Bible. Lots of great stuff in Proverbs, whether you are Christian or not.

For Christians 🙂 

I miss the clicky-clacky sound of busy hard disks, and I'm not ashamed.

Would you get a neuralink implanted if it was free?

From the article by Quartz:
“Apple has repeatedly helped China control dissent, mostly by removing apps that protestors have used to coordinate, communicate, or gather information. (Quartz’s iOS app was removed by Apple, at China’s request, at the height of the 2019 protests in Hong Kong.) By hobbling the functionality of AirDrop in China, Apple is once again coming to the government’s aid.”

It appears that Apple is helping China in their censorship mission via their suppressing of this tool for dissidents.

Wowza -- I just got a security update for `passwd`!
CVE-2013-4235: cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.
I'm always surprised when an old internal tool is updated, one tends to think it is as stable as stone.

Blocking servers risks creating echo chambers.

Never blocking or silencing servers risks bad things as well, I do realize. I'm just saying we need to be careful. I fear for the future of the Fediverse.

I'm visiting home for Thanksgiving. We have Smash 4, the version I would play before I was introduced to Smash Ultimate in college.
Oh my, going back to it, it feels *so* floaty and slow-motion! I couldn't believe I used to play Smash at Smash 4 speeds.

Thanks bed love u
