@godpod So many leopards, so many faces..

@mpjgregoire @evan Balance of power changed in Isreal. Ben Gvir can no longer force a deal to fall through.

@georgetakei Some people count their steps.

My watch has given up on that and periodically reminds me to move.

@cstross @anon_opin @quixoticgeek They reduce the emotional commitment to nothing.. try one person today, find another tomorrow.. like trying new shoes.

@evan web+act links are url encoded on opening eg. https://acct.swf.pub/#web%2Bacct%3Aevan%40cosocial.ca

Which just returns a blank page.

Only chrome thinks it's dangerous though.. Firefox works.

In my username it just says 'failed to fetch' but maybe I'm expecting too much of an example :p

@nerb @human3500 @pluralistic When he gets a bit older you can hit him with this..

@GossiTheDog I'm surprised.. Normally it's said if the chip is already damaged by the faulty microcode then the only solution is RMA - the updates just stop it getitng worse.

@danieldurrans @neil Every single time you interact with a company there's some bleedin' survey about it.

Why are they so needy these days? It never used to be a thing.

@ptrc @wdormann It seems you can replace an existing known printer too, which makes invocation risk higher if you know the internal network config.

But it's just a bug.. another day at the office, install the update and move on. This dramatic '9.9 world ending' shit needs to stop.

@GossiTheDog The way Microsoft are going they'll announce an xbox with an AI chatbot in it..

@GossiTheDog It's always fascinated me that large networks take so long to deal with that stuff. My disaster recovery plan for such an event is to shut everything down and reimage/recover the backups.. obviously spend a bit of time first to find out how they got in but not *too* much because people gotta work.

Clearly there's a reason it takes that long, it's just outside my experience.

@GossiTheDog They'll likely just go to Signal. and I don't think that has any moderation at all..

@babe It comes down to a lot of people know how to write code but don't know how to release a product.

You want someone else to use your stuff? Release it properly. Documentation. An installer. Actual testing. Those kinds of things.

Otherwise it's just 'bits of code on github'.

@evan A million people generating a small amount of revenue ends up a lot.

368 million adds up to a hell of a lot.

@evan I'm a hard no here..bad actors will just curate their feeds to have only posts that agree with them. The same reason review sites are essentially useless now.

You could post a poll and more or less dictate the result by filtering answers.. you might not do it, but plenty of people would.

Social media is an avenue for discussion.. I'd hate to lose that.

@georgetakei No different to words we made up when we were younger..

'rizz' is easy, it's just a contraction of charisma.

Windows 95 pixellated for legal reasons..

#Eurovision #finland

@evan UTC is the only correct answer (yes for the pedants I know UTC isn't technicallly a time zone).

@darnell @mayadev @randahl Gaza has been under continuous bombardment for months. The population is starving and homeless

If you think the hostages are still alive under all that I've got a bridge to sell you. It was never about them, this is about erasing gaza.
