yea @cell, given how hls makes it possible to inject ads to the video stream without reencoding anything, yt-dlp still working is at the mercy of our alphabet overlords

Software does not present an educational hazard, @futurebird, proprietary software does. In fact, teaching non-free software shouldn’t be called education, but implanting dependence.

I think thou made a typo, @lxo:

So blong,

@lanodan and @chjara, I’d guess he’s using mastodon.el, also it’s mostly write-only so to be serious it might be fine to tag him in shitposts

Nah @silverpill, looking at the proportion of fedi instances behind clownflare, I would argue that it did the opposite of not making it.

33 years old? Gotta pump those numbers up! Emacs is 46!

Every program surviving natural selection has or shall become an everything app; to quote @jwz:

Apps that you “live in” all day have pressure to become everything and do everything. An app for editing text becomes an IDE, then an OS. An app for displaying hypertext documents becomes a mail reader, then an OS.

The ambiguization of programs and services into apps for the general public was an intentional mistake so that spyware corporations can deliver executables instead of data, resulting in walled garden that can only be accessed by those with (soon-to-be literal) neural implants phoning home every other second. Let’s not kid ourselves and pretend that web apps riddled with client-side black boxes are any good.

(Not disagreeing with ya, @SirTapTap, just needed to rant.)

:blobfoxangrylaugh: @Moon, as if fæcebook has any problem with racing posts: it just shows them to the target demographics :blobthinksmart:

You are taking too long, @muxelplexer, my friendship ended with #Blobcat (sorry, @Jain), now #HowToDragonYourTrain is my best friend!

It’s not bad, @clacke, at least the acting is decent, but the plot device was a bit too convenient it suspended the belief. Hope the writing will improve in the upcoming episodes.

@clacke, I haven’t read the comics (don’t like the art style) so can’t help but wonder: where technology? No bullet-proof vest, no surveillance drone, not even a sniper in the first episode’s last scene. Bourne is cool and all, it just doesn’t feel right for the settings.

press release here for those looking for context

Thanks for the pointer, @xarvos!

O @Jain, could thy grace please help my lord @muxelplexer make improvements to our village here by building the richest blobcat collection in Fedia?

Dear fedizens and instant lords, where can I find the most comprehensive blobcat emoji packs? I’m trying to gather as many as possible before bring them before my lord.

@Jain, don’t forget clown flare as well and no, not just wildsbeast

@xarvos, I’m fairly confident that @evan can tell you in how many places openly carrying a cleaver is illegal regardless of intention

@ruud, it’s round in MB, just not in MiB.

BTW @stanford yours is 40 MB.

Hmmm @muxelplexer is there anyway to refresh the post so we can vote? The poll has been added in a edit.

@aworldinpages, why wait for three things when you use push notification and let the system waits for you?
