Don't forget to eat your clocks this weekend. Completing the Sisyphusian cycle of how time consumes us.
Being a mortal is kinda frustrating at time.
A/B testing with zero user consent or disclosure is messed up. It's gross how tech people treat users like fodder with little care for their agency.
Code refactor? I hardy know her!
Updating my code to the latest version of #veilid
Hopefully the route instability stuff will be fixed now!

it's ridiculous how it's now normal that computers are adversarial to their owners and using a computer now means to be working around constantly hostility of software designed specifically to not help you, and this is accepted enough that for young people that's their whole idea of what a computer is, a sort of scammy robot always trying to pull one over you

Fascinating practical networking research that exposes the gap between networking theory & real-world implementations. Valuable for security researchers, network engineers, and anyone building custom network protocols. https://github.com/Hawzen/hdp
I'm ready for winter to be over 😭

Wasn't it either. Been spending like 3 hours on this at this point 🥲 Might need to copy some more random configs into obscure locations?
Looks like the reason I can't use my wacom tablet is due to the wacom driver not being signed and getting ignored by Secure Boot.
I need to generate a signing key and rebuild the driver from source so I can use it 🙃
Eepy but wired (tramp stamp ideas)

New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:
* Does Firefox sell your personal data?
> Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.
The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.

"House of leaves" is an interesting book but parts of it are very much not screen reader friendly. Just pages and pages of random sounding names
It's joever 😭
One of these days I'll end up making that AI gangstalking tool and accidentally sic it onto myself. 🤪
I've seen some stuff on tiktok where folks just ask ChatGPT leading questions about things that patently make no sense and it'll just feed into it and add exciting new details in an authoritative tone. Meanwhile people in the comments will start spewing their personal delusions and "conspiracy theories" to further rabbithole each other from reality.
It's actually so over.
