Hey, Elon Musk fought like a lion for our right to "free speech" so now we can enjoy all that 😆

Well, your colleagues at Meduza reported 6-7 thousands: t.me/meduzalive/116918
And TVRain — at least 5k 😏

@kevinrothrock
But he didn't say anything concrete "appropriate decisions in response to such actions", lots of words with no meaning — the usual chekist language quirks 🤷

@rmattila74 @Tendar
Yep, I also wonder what would Starmer do now — I suspect him to not actually be willing to supply Ukraine with Storm Shadows and he had a good excuse for that, not anymore.

@djsundog I really associate the phrase "information overload" with the six months after I graduated college and the studio apartment I moved into. I only connected my little black and white TV to the cable because I was hoping it would work as an antenna but I discovered it hadn't been turned off.

I'd never lived anywhere with cable before and suddenly I had CNN. The aftermath of Tianenmen Square was still being understood. The Bay Area got hit by the Loma Prieta earthquake. The Berlin Wall fell. The Soviet Union collapsed. I watched a firing squad kill the Dictator of Romania. I'd get home from one of my two jobs and immediately turn it on to see what I'd missed.

And then one day I picked up my phone to make a call. But it didn't go through. Instead I found myself in this amazing liminal telephone netherworld where I could hear a dozen or more conversations, all happening at once, against a background of electronic beeps. Just as I'd start to follow a couple sentences of one call it would vanish and its place be taken by another call. I sat listening to it for half an hour while trying to figure out a way to route the signal into my four-track cassette but couldn't get it to work.

Having my first taste of 24-hour news was as earthshaking as the events it was covering. And that phone call became my personal metaphor for what it felt like.

Then I got a dial up modem...

So refined 😍

This is an experiment. Please boost.

mastoddosnt.ddns.net/

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

I do not agree with this piece, I even started drafting a response to it, but I think "ruined tourism" is debatable, considering this is posted on Geminispace.

With classes! 🤩

With classes, right? 🥺

Does it at least run Rocket Leaguecy of the Hearth of the Stone Void?

@gordoooo_z
I feel you! The distaste for modern technology I've developed over the years might be one of the reasons I'm procrastinating and subconsciously sabotaging getting a job in this field 😩

@p @vic
I can't even come up with a good explaination on why that was done — this preference looks zero maintenance cost to me, it's like four lines of code that require minimal to no testing; other than receiving a call from their Google HQ with something like: "No one likes our image format that is actually video compression cosplaying image compression — do something about it!"

@p @vic
> I mean, it should be possible to find out, right
Of course it is! On my build machine I would just check out the commit that was used for building it, start the rebuild process and snatch the config, but I'm not — and I'm a lazy ass looking for other options😅
> The only mitigation against the stupid webp exploit was to turn webp off.
Can you imagine it? They have removed that option in like a week or two after that vulnerability got discovered!
