Rigga morris!!

Excellent article. It says what's been on my mind so well.

Reminder that you can switch to Duck Duck Go pretty easily on all your devices

Hi god it’s me, could you maybe pick a different brave soldier because I’d kind of like a break. no worries if not lol

I introduced a coworker to the "Unread" section of slack the other day. I fear I've made a FOMO out of them.

That's my girl right there 💚

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The insistence on and total reliance on AI by those with malformed frontal lobes. My government being overrun by fascism. Reps, governors, federal workers, and companies refusing to show a spine in spite of it. The worsening global warming. Congress not enforcing the EFiles release.

I'm drowning.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. Three stills all focused on Odo. He's a shape-shifting humanoid looking at the moment fella with very smooth skin, tightly combed back hair, and as always, wearing five shades of tan as his uniform. Here, he's just sitting and chatting with someone. Closed caption reads, "It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that, sometimes, they make the wrong choice."

Business leadership positions. Government leadership. Middle management willing to propagate orders. Grunts carrying it out without critical thinking or morality. Citizens who revel in all of this. You're all complicit in this fucked up supervillain story. Why can't we learn and move on from history

I used to wonder how super villains or evil organizations in movies would hire so many grunts and foot soldiers.

Usually the reason was they were forced to, else their families would be hurt.

Now I know in reality there's just evil people willing to commit evil all around us. I'm so scared.

Minor inconvenience at work immediately followed by a recruiter reaching out to me. Don’t tempt me!

you really should be watching all of thescifisavage.com 's video

I'd also recommend a mini/micro form factor PC! I used to use an Intel NUC but when it died I switched to a micro dell PC.

If you get a NAS I know Plex can run on it pretty well, and so I'd assume Jellyfin too. But mainly only if it has to stream media, and not do any live transcoding of the media

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I've gotten spam/scam messages impersonating Apple themselves with no substantive way to report it. I'm surprised Apple doesn't already do filtering like this. I think this is a great change.

Behind the complaints: Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today Some time ago, we were contacted by a group fighting against online CSAM, demanding that AdGuard DNS blocks the Archive.today website. This was only the beginning of a much larger story…

The article: adguard-dns.io/en/blog/arch... (talking about archive.is).

Also, if anyone has a Lobsters invite 👀

Reading yet another article on users able to host illicit content on public website and the challenges of moderating content, and all I can think of is how Bluesky's original and lobste.rs permanent invite system solves all those problems significantly. Websites should be invite-only by default.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

CROCKETT: When I say that you are the least qualified FBI director in the history of the FBI, that is real, because you are the only one that never even served with the FBI

PATEL: That's false

CROCKETT: I didn't ask you a question

TIL! I suppose I can retroactively preface earlier comments with: unique among more popular languages. Go is certainly unique when compared to: C#, Python, JS, Rust, Swift, Java, C/C++, and the like. IME Clojure, Elixir, Scheme are all very valid and noteworthy langs but less widely discussed/used.

I'd also argue that Go's resistance to add every language feature and shiny new thing is a feature in itself. It prides stability and function over features. Compared to C#, Rust, Swift, JavaScript/TypeScript and the like, it feels like a breath of fresh air to me.

Native concurrency using green threads and channels over mutexes and semaphores, and from the get go at that (not tacking on async/await after v1 as an after thought like many others). And duck typing over OOP and inheritance. Not entirely unique but it strays from the average.

That's why I applaud Go for straying from the norm to solve problems with unique solutions.

You can drag the address bar up and it animates into the tabs. Not intuitive until you stumble upon it, but it's quick at least and not two taps.
