Since I stopped using sugar even in tea and replaced it with these weird Stevia-based tabs and cut down on salt and only use soy sauce, most food *normal* people eat tastes weird — probably the opposite is true too though: stuff I cook is totally inedible to most of them — not salty enough etc.

@iska
Old farts had to bring their own CRT displays to LAN parties (and take them back after a few days of not getting any sleep 😱) and survived. Man up and bring it over by bus! 😏

@newt
I still have no idea what the true nature of the problem was, the standard library was a bit different (?), but when the error came up I had no idea how to fix that and I had to contact colleagues from the head IT office in another country — they've told me to try the *other* Java, surprisingly it did work and I was like: "Wait… WHAT?!!!" 🤣

@captainepoch

@newt
Why? I didn't have to use it or develop software using it to remember of its existence — and in the corporate space it was still pretty much alive in the early 2000s.
I do remember when MS decided to distance from Sun and made their own incompatible version of Java though 😂

OMFG, even this seems to be confirmed! The tech industry has turned into a total shitshow 😩

@kaia @grillchen
I don't know what the percentage is, but this problem seemed pretty major to me. And they don't care enough to remove such accounts — unless someone gets lured into paying and realises that it's such an account, or the model claims that photos are used without permission, but they have to confirm their identity in this case — and in turn few care enough, unless they have real account on OF or their nude photos have been obtained without their permission.

@kaia @grillchen
Another problem is that some accounts on OF are copycat accounts — the ones that use photos of model (sometimes not even a model) without authorisation, sometimes even without the original person knowing of this.

@DigitalJacobin
It's not just an imperfect solution — because there is no lesser evil: it would only postpone the inevitable, there simply are no good solutions 🤷

…and recommending you to install their own browser. Then there is this: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/03/you-should-not-trust-russias-new-trusted-root-ca
Russian government organisations and state-owned enterprises can no longer legally renew their certificates — so they have just made their own CA. Obviously it enables, among other things, MITM attacks.
Sooner or later a lot of websites used by Russians will stop opening in Firefox — what would Mozilla do, comply with this one too and ship this CA with Firefox?
@MartinBe

@DigitalJacobin
This seems reasonable, but I've never seen this line of thinking actually work — instead of standing your ground and sending the right message, you just start giving up your liberties bit by bit — Russia knows how to boil the frog slow very well.
This might buy some time, but they would still start forcing people off Firefox sooner or later.
Yandex' websites which are used by a lot of Russians are already giving you warning about Firefox no longer being supported…

Under socialism OnlyFans models would be state-funded 🫠

On the bright side: now that Element Web is gone I don't have any reasons to keep WebRTC and WebAssembly enabled — good riddance! 😁

Caters to the male demographic! ☝️

@gemlog
Not only they didn't, it turned out they are in the thick of it — developing things that we, who attempt to stay away from all that commotion, use! 😱
How soon are we going to get to "no, you can't call me from that last year phone of yours"? 😂

@newt @captainepoch
> Somewhat better than JVM
In turn, that one was better than ActiveX.
Yep, often the case: the only justification for using some modern broken shit is that it's slightly better than old horribly broken shit 😂

@threat
But that's perfect time to buy ammo!
