@sofia Ah that makes sense. I'm not around tankies very often. Mostly liberals and left-anarchists.

@sofia Whoa, didn't know folks found coops to be not democratic enough. 🤯
@channingwalton do you have specific systems in mind? Like large scale SaaS that use complex k8s deployments and the such?

Also, in case it wasn't obvious, fuck student loans. Education should be free.

Are you working in the intersection of security and usability? Would $10K help you in your work? Then you should apply for this year's Norm Hardy Prize! https://foresight.org/norm-hardy-prize/ (feel free to repost this)

I love the irony of getting an "are you human" captcha then realizing that the entire article I clicked on was 100% AI generated

CF is amassing a lot of power. With 30% of all Internet Traffic going through CF and them decrypting all HTTPS traffic at the Edge...and able to change any or all of it transparently. This extract from CF's blog reads like a Government/Thread Actor's dream come true....
Casual listening to pack the last of my belongings to.

Death, poverty
@trevorflowers Jeeze that sounds especially bad given thr cost of living crisis. It feels like some gpvernments/corpos are actively trying to get people to die with their policies.

Game dev is the bizarro world where everything you've learned in high school is still relevant.

Anarchists don’t have to agree on a best way of doing things or to find single answers to questions about the future. Anarchism won’t come to pass when enough people agree on how to live anarchically but rather when enough people feel the price for any other way of life is too high, too bloody. It’s not a single best way of doing things, it’s what’s left when the cops are gone. It’s what free people can build on that foundation.

Google killing off their basic HTML version of Gmail due to basic HTML not including 'full feature functionality' seems like code for 'we don't make ad revenue off this version'.
We relied on the basic HTML version while doing arctic fieldwork in 2017 using low bandwidth satellite internet. Gone were extraneous graphics and junk ads getting served - just mail. It's also no longer possible to auto sort messages in the full version without enabling tracking to serve ads.

@lePetomaneAncien @futurebird @natty @neckspike @adamp Yeah, we're getting "right to repair" for mobile phones, but not for medical devices people rely on to be functional members of society
@jonny my favorite part of the morning world is that all of the squirrels are more active around dawn. it means I get to see a lot more of them and give them peanuts than I would during the day or dusk
@SwindlerOfInsanity My favorite example is big spiders with little frog friends. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/tiny-frogs-and-giant-spiders-best-of-friends/
it's pretty wild that our species has pets. like, I just have a little creature that lives in my house and kills bugs and stuff. and we just hang sometimes and I like to trigger it's hunting instinct for fun. literally I have a plants growing outside my house that is a sort of drug just for this species and sometimes and bring it in as a little treat
