Is that a pedo flag? I’m nervous to try checking with a search engine…

Yes.

Yep I’m definitely out of it. My brain subbed in Doctorow and I was trying to figure out wtf he did to justify the comments…

It’s not a person’s snoring I have a problem with. The family dog snores like a motherfucker.

Is Arbys actually doing okay anywhere? I had to remove two that closed from openstreetmap the other day.

Drunken noodles all the way. I was incredibly disappointed trying a new thai place when the drunken noodles were weaker than your average pad thai. I mean I know I’m white but if you’re gonna make it that weak at least ask me a spice level so I can say medium or something.

I want to spread the word far and wide: We’re banging pots and pans and cheering at the top of our lungs when his death hits the news.

I cannot claim to have not said it. My intoxicated ass has let some kickass quotes slip out. But nobody has heard me say it and they never will.

Who wants to start a nonprofit that buys and distributes FBI worker’s location data?

They can’t kill the metaverse, it was never theirs.

Probably the image itself. Does seem unlikely that bracket paper was shopped in or original, more likely at least the image of the guy is generated.

🙋Present. I happened to break that wrist too so this is what mine looks like.

100% You’ll wonder why you’d ever go back.

Work profiles are a big sticking point for tech workers I think. Apparently some have got it to work, but my org’s didn’t. I think if your company uses MAM instead of MDM you might have better luck, but I couldn’t get Intune to set up the work profile correctly. I started carrying a phone size ereader everywhere so I just set up work stuff on that, but even then managing wifi for the second device is a pain.

Vehicle loans are the antichrist

Not better. It’s meant for a different niche. The veilid network is not a proxy, but is an anonimized by default network of its own that uses internet infrastructure but does not interact with the traditional web. There are also differences in the private routing, primarily the decision to let sources and destinations both choose part of the chain of chain of nodes traffic is routed through. Again, the idea is to build it into apps rather than putting the responsibility of hiding your ip and identity on the user.

In a similar but different vein I feel the need to callout veilid. https://veilid.com/ It’s like tor meets IPFS except no crypto involved. The idea is it’s an anonymous network and data storage scheme that’s meant to allow developers to make apps which don’t require server infrastructure and associated costs. They want functional easy to use apps to have strong privacy protections baked in instead of bolted on after by powerusers.

Interesting that they describe it as epaper-like. Pebbles are widely called epaper, but are RLCD. And I’m 100% with you, RLCD deserves more love. Kinda surprising we haven’t seen more given the color ereader popularity and resolution downsides. Pebble is a good example of RLCD over e-ink. There’s no way the eink of the time could’ve done those smooth animations. Even today it’d be tricky.
