I'm here 🤷 with the "BlueSky has won and fedi lost" narratives. Sure it's a little disappointing to see folks flocking to another VC clowncar, but we'll still be here when their next house burns down. In the meantime we'll probably have them increasingly well bridged so the next migration isn't even that painful.

I see Putin's paid for a new "don't vote" media cycle and some folks are lapping it up. 🤦 Muting everyone amplifying that for 7 days.

Hot take: the real root cause of Clownstrike was the hubris to think *anyone*, any possible process, is qualified and has sufficient stake in the outcomes to manage countless critical systems around the world.
This is why you make a product and leave it to individual orgs or parties with direct relationships with them and obligations not to fuck up to deploy new versions of your product in their environments on their schedule.
You don't make a combined product plus remote ring 0 mgmt service.

@npub1hpc…hjn3 How would it identify "coming from Mastodon"? It's not like Mastodon instances put tracking on the links. Being https I would expect no legacy referer either.

Heads-up FOSS maintainers!
There is a person sending bulk patches/PRs to FOSS projects for supposed issues "Found by RASU JSC" (not sure if that's a static analysis tool itself, or some org).
The patches I've received are all very, VERY wrong formulatic changes, maybe even LLM-generated, doing things as stupid as replacing sprintf(s, fmt, ...) with snprintf(s, sizeof s, fmt, ...) where s has pointer type.
If you've accepted any such patches, review carefully & possibly revert!

The level to which systemd stans demand you prove claims against systemd that you didn't even make as soon as they see you say something they interpret as vaguely "anti-systemd" is really astounding and impressive.

So wait is it "nobody wants to work anymore" or "we have too many people working for us and need to lay off a bunch"? Help me understand I'm confused. 🙃

@npub1zdp…vqv8 It also reflects a complete misunderstanding of the power dynamics. Epstein wasn't preying on victims whose parents cared about their children not being victimized by that kind of creep. AIUI some were even accomplices eagar to get their children "in with power" in that way.. 🤮

@npub1typ…c8hh Could it be that drivers at night are constantly blinded by the oncoming and rearview mirror headlights of gigantic vehicles with their lights half a meter too high, pointed straight forward like highbeams rather than down at the road, and 20x brighter than they should be?

@npub1upk…tcwy I love the "hard to imagine it being so fast"... 🤦 Humans have become accustomed to the hideous slowness of contemporary web/cloud based world where it takes GitHub 100x as long to render one file as it takes git to process the entire Linux kernel history.

@npub1upk…tcwy Is it "too technical" still, or something else? As an advocate for git I'd love to figure out how to explain it in a way more likely to click with folks.

@npub1upk…tcwy I think the biggest stumbling block for new users is misunderstanding that patches are presentation not data model.
The data model you're working with is states/snapshots of the entire project tree and the "was derived from" relationships between them, along with human provided textual descriptions of how a state relates to the one(s) it was derived from.
Patches are visual representations of those relationships.

TIL a lot about the attitudes of Mainsail towards security. And it's not good. #3dprinting

@npub1yrl…8gpm @npub12at…me5y In my experience it's negligible, assuming you're not post annealing. This might vary if object is very large or if you're using low cooling.

@npub1hpc…hjn3 Ahh, that makes a lot more sense. Is there a clearer way to characterize that so it's not confusable with how I read it? The "social services kidnapping children" characterization seems to lend itself to misinterpretation that supports the propaganda.

2023-09-16 13:21:37

- reply

@npub1hpc…hjn3 Is the latter claim entirely false? *Most* countries' "social services" programs around children disproportionately separate children who are not of the majority race or religion from their parents, to the point I'd say the claim is by default true unless the system has not separated any at all.
This isn't to support bad regimes' propaganda claims, just to avoid doing fallout damage by denying real injustices they coopt.

@npub1yrl…8gpm @npub12at…me5y Cooling works fine as long as it's initially hot enough. I have a PLA piece that looks like resin.

@npub1yrl…8gpm @npub1u5p…uljc @npub12at…me5y TPU should be fine with as much cooling as you throw at it.

@npub12yy…9e3j @npub18qc…4har @npub1edc…0q44 That depends on the courts not being even more compromised than they are now. Which isn't reassuring.
