I spent an embarrassingly long amount of time not realizing that GNU LibreJS lets you selectively run scripts on the page.

When your last precedent is you probably have a problem

We're in a weird timeline where it's now considered reactionary to say the developed world middle class needs to change our behaviors for ecological reasons

Happy Janmashtami! May your human pyramids stack ever higher!

If anybody remember's Thompson's "Reflections on Trusting Trust", this is a good example. The only thing compromised was the build system; this was completely invisible in the source.

Anybody know if there is a Mastodon client package in the works for either Guile or Common Lisp? If not that seems like something I could usefully write.

ugh i really hope crossposters don't slowly choke mastodon like they did to diaspora*

if you're just crossposting everything you tweet on birdsite then what even is the point of making a mastodon account? that's glorified spam at worst, and a recipe for abandonment.

Every year or so I try to transfer my GnuPG keyring to a new machine and wind up half-writing the same rant, over and over again, about how while it's nice that they are absurdly paranoid about incredibly improbable corner-case threats, the end result is to keep people from using it. Pinentry is the current example. Yes, I agree, it provides a form of protection against a threat vector that I'm not worried about. And in the process it makes the suite unusable without docs-groveling.

After a month in Europe I'm not sure that actually does anything other than make me click "OK" and then receive the exact same tracking.

If your platform entertains the like of those whose mantra is to harm others, you can't turn around and say you're defending the victims of said harm.
