@anthropy interesting

I wonder if this W3 draft at all conflicts with the work that @soatok was spearheading (from the opposite end of the problem, doing the key management first)

I sure hope not

I have a request for everyone in honor of Robort Redford passing away

If you have not seen it yet, please go out and watch the *true* computer nerd movie imo, where he gave a stellar performance

Probably the most "realistic" one I've seen in a whole bunch of ways, let alone details for the true cryptographers (amateur and pro) in the audience. The writers did a fantastic job

@LilahTovMoon while it's a bit old now, my favorite example to prove this -- in video form

If you haven't see it, may it be a bit of heartwarming cuteness for your day ❤️

@ryanc oh, interesting

Then I have n oidea

@ryanc very good customer service tricks would be my guess

@whitequark you have my sympathy

Bazel is the only build system I rage quit

After 20 minutes of failing to understand how to *name a specific target to build* rather than "everything" despite having what seemed like a list of them from the config

@whitequark done that a couple times

Maybe even could get a category qualification for my adding Windows builds to CI of random projects

Latest success: https://github.com/8051Enthusiast/delsum/pull/10

@whitequark for completely untuned/unoptimized? That is totally solid in my book

@whitequark I thought you took Estrogen and it let you see beyond 😛

@raccoon but that meaning is not always literal

After all, there are gay men in relationships who are not related, but call each other "little bro" and "daddy" and so on. Because they are doing those family roles or those "archetypes" (if you want to get Freudian)

The way I see it, MILF is the same thing

@kissane that's the nice thing about the Fediverse

Federation means that you can be broad and niche at the same time: choose your server to choose your network map

Or as I think of it, to join Fedi is to choose the problems of Anarchy rather than the problems of Authority. Which opens up many different questions, some causing difficulties, others its strengths

And I think a lot of ppl, for a lot of reasons, would find that option appealing rn...

@ryanc I should say that it's not requiring a login to click on the 3 dots and send feedback about the lower panel

So I did

@ryanc interestingly, it did not require a login for me (I de-Googled several years ago)

Done

@tek indeed

I have even better personal reasons on top of that:

https://chaos.social/@jhwgh1968/112719036143770403

@cwebber called it!

https://chaos.social/@jhwgh1968/113591558159027511

While I don't think it was particularly difficult to call, I was a bit disappointed at the number of people here who were thinking it was a "self own" or a change in policy upon it first being announced

@SleepyCatten beyond a petiton, I'd instead politely ask everyone who reads this to support something more direct:

@ryanc is suing to force the issue in another way through the courts, and they need help with their fundraisers due to the personal expense it has cost them:

https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/non-binary-recognition/

@slothrop indoctrinating the children, I see!

@ryanc this is just a clever way to ask "how old are you" and harvest all our information, isn't it

@whitequark okay the most obscure joke I know:

Two chemists walk into the bar

The first says, "I'll have a glass of H2O"

The second says, "I'll have a glass of the same"

The first could barely contain his rage, as his assassination attempt had failed

@rysiek @baldur 💯

Excellent long-form description of something that's been trying to coalesce in my head for some time

Hence my attempt to get the internet to agree to coin a concise version of this as Datskovskiy's Law:

"Employers much prefer that workers be fungible, rather than maximally productive"
