Science, computing & hacking.

RSS is still my home. I may choose to link blog posts over there. I don't use DMs there (use xmpp on my website).

I'm sorry if this sounds extreme but mass deletion of information online should genuinely be illegal. as a society we cannot tolerate the notion that any and all knowledge that is created can just be permanently expunged and inaccessible. Like yes it is that serious

“Hatching an egg” is commonly used terminology, within Trans Activism, for brainwashing people into believing they are “Trans”.

In the Trans world, an “Egg” is a normal person who understands that they are the same gender they were born as.

“Hatching” is when that person becomes confused and now believes they are Trans… a different gender than their biology.

Trans Activists regularly talk about “nudging” people to become Trans. They strategize (such as in this post on the “Trans” sub-Reddit) about tricking people into becoming “Trans” in deceptive ways… “without making them think it was me that put the idea in their heads”.

This is *exactly* what the KDE project is doing.

Same terminology. Same symbolism. Same methods.

This is one example, of oh-so-many, of Open Source organizations grooming children.

The thing that really sucks about it is the fact that a lot of old GPUs will barely ever get proper up to date support for wayland.

@TheBonkMaykr People forgot (or never knew) about the concept of decentralization long time ago which somehow existed with XMPP/Jabber. They're falling for the same trap again, now switching away from one centralized service to another (matrix official server or official instance of stoat).

@probonopd I hope that soon we won't have to run Fedora in order to run flatpak software as RedHat might become the only distributor of required signatures to even run approved software. Future seems dystopian If we allow RedHat to further infect Linux ecosystem. You don't hate them enough.

@Vaxu113248 I'm sorry, but you'll have to live somehow.

Today a coworker said he "challenged himself” to "old school google" something instead of using chat gpt. And that he "used to be really good at googling" and it was "hard" for him cause he "only uses chat gpt now.” He said this out loud in a meeting

Not everything revolves around business and "value".

Our mission is to play every multimedia file in the world. We are proud to accept hobby contributors for obscure 1990s codecs.

If trillion dollar corporations want things from volunteers, they have to pay for it.

@TheBonkMaykr @Wario64 I have the same question.

Thankfully I managed to preserve crucial bluetooth firmware files (while converting my controller), so the option for saving other Stadia controllers might be saved for the foreseeable future.

@seatedro There are those still taking basic approach towards making websites that are static, don't take forever to load or even require javascript.

People could do it 22 years ago and still can If they value simplicity.

🚨 The friend pendant is not your friend

Someone reverse-engineered the device, exposing lack of basic security:

- Anyone can connect via Bluetooth and hear the microphone's recordings
- Friend's audio is unencrypted.
- Audio can be accessed on non onboarded devices as well

Lynx started at the University of Kansas in 1992 and it's the oldest web browser still being maintained.
