Once you realize it’s not “age verification”, but actually “identity verification”, then it’s easy to understand that the real goal is “papers, please” for the entire internet.

"You, the consumer, purchased your Android device believing in Google’s promise that it was an open computing platform and that you could run whatever software you choose on it. Instead, as of September 2026, they will be non-consensually pushing an update to your operating system that irrevocably blocks this right and leaves you at the mercy of their judgement over what software you are permitted to trust."

@screwlisp 20000 only lasts a couple of hours? 😰 I was hoping to get at least 5-6.

@screwlisp Powering an SBC is exactly my use case! Which model do you have?

Question for techies: Is there a powerbank product out there which has pass through charging, usb-c, at least 35W? Past that the more it can store the better.

@brandon Cool! Yeah I was recently on a Stross kick and read Glass House a few months ago. Did you end up implementing Curious Yellow? Reminds me of a talk I saw a while ago about how compilers could have been compromised at some point with a virus that hides itself in later compiler versions.

The token expiration on NPM is annoying as hell. I already have 2FA, so I need to do two steps of verification just to publish a patch. 😒

@mcr314 I totally agree re: specific error classes. I think Java got it right.

@mcr314 Sadly it's not even related to try catch in this case. It's something weird in the node.js test framework detecting "unhandled promise rejections".

Remember kids: if your code is loading something asynchronously, make sure to wait for things to be loaded in your cleanup code. Else it might fully load *after* cleanup.

Losing my shit cause this test is failing with an error that's actually being caught. 💀

@brandon that resolution seems reasonable. Vnc into android apps is a good idea. I always worry about the offline use case but I guess I should relax about it more.

BTW have you read Accelerando by Charles Stross? Interesting character with always on computer / HMD acting as an mind extension. Inspirational

21. This little trackball is so cute! I've been wanting a trackball thing to mess with but didn't like the bulky options.
