‘Christian’ Wireless Provider Promises To Censor All LGBTQ Content - https://www.techdirt.com/2026/05/14/christian-wireless-provider-promises-to-censor-all-lgbtq-content/ gotta love that compassion
My favorite bear-claw’s price increased. It’s only an increase of 40¢ but still rude
Yes I’ve done the math, it’s a 8.4 per cent increase. Not terrible in the grand scheme of things. But still
@davidgerard lol you know it's bad because Singapore is super into AI
This last paragraph of “Love and Terror,” Claudia Verhoeven’s new book on Charles Manson and the Manson family murders, is gonna stay with me for awhile.
The book isn’t perfect by any means – it’s occasionally overwritten, overreaching in some of its arguments, curiously (and ostensibly deliberately) nonlinear in its argument. But at its sharpest, it constitutes some of the most insightful thinking about Manson as man and myth I’ve ever encountered in forty-five years of reading about him.
(The invocation of Didion here is [chef’s kiss]. The “count of no accounts” refers to a Manson persona or shard of his identity he’d pastiched from Hollywood film and used to explain his rejection of linear, historical time.)
@adamgreenfield Is this your way of telling me I recently finished the wrong book on Manson? 😉 (Chaos by Tom O'Neill)
The EasyEngine tutorial, StackPointer, WPMU DEV, Stack Overflow, and the WordPress.org forums all reference this same pattern.
This can easily be chained with one (or both) of two recent and trivial-to-exploit local privilege escalation Linux vulns.
In the words of @krypt3ia :
we doomed.
HOWEVER: I threw together a small Bash script that tries to detect whether a given conf file or directory of nginx configs has vulnerable directives. You can find it at:
@urlyman @thegreenparty @PortsmouthGreens @samsterby @Molly That raises another point re councillors.
This would be an opportunity to enable Green councillors to talk to each other, and be a forum that isn’t Facebook to talk to their constituents.
Might be one way of attracting some folks away from the grasp of Facebook.
And, bureaucratically, it would be a way for leadership to keep up a better two-way dialogue with the increasing numbers representing it locally.
Insanely annoying that my inbox is completely flooded with emails like this. Starts off as if it was a real email responding to a real video I made, then transitions to a completely unrelated sales pitch. I hate that AI is making it trivially easy to generate mountains of this trash which makes it super hard to filter out stuff that comes from people who actually want to contact me about something useful
@Techaltar even social media, especially Facebook is kind of flooding/entertaining itself
No. 41 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in 𝗲𝗿í𝗮: QUESADILLERÍA
"Quesadilla" is a popular dish from Mexican cuisine consisting of two tortillas with cheese and often meat or other fillings in between cooked on a griddle or stovetop. A "quesadillería" is a restaurant that specializes in these, such as this one next to Alameda de Santa María in Mexico City.
The word quesadilla is formed from the Spanish word "queso" (cheese) and the suffix "-illa" (indicating something that is small or endearing).

@bodil I'd love this to mean less Blair and Palantir, but I don't think we'll be that lucky
@urlyman Have voted many times for Scottish Greens.
@nusher thanks Natasha. The poll above grew out of GPEW being absent from Mastodon.
I appreciate that Scottish Greens are here to some degree :)

Great post listing many non-obvious elements that you can contribute to #OpenStreetMap, including public bookcases, fences, building entrances, public art, and more! https://lemmy.world/post/46818212
To quote from the author: "Contributing to a project like OpenStreetMap really changes how you look at the physical environment, and I think it’s for the better. It just makes you consider so many things you never would’ve"
@maxleibman@beige.party @cwebber@social.coop AI bros saying "UBI will fix whatever we break" are like Elon Musk saying "we don't need high speed rail because I'm building a super subway for Teslas". High speed rail gets canceled, the giant car subway never happens. The solution isn't the point; the problem is.
Today in #ChronicFatigue : I hit a week of exercising every day, without skipping any. And given it has been 15 months since I stopped work, and this is the first time, I feel the need to celebrate that. In this state it is so easy to do too much and knock yourself out for the day(s) after.
It does feel a bit strange to celebrate though, because exercise in this context is 10 minutes at 4.5 km/h on a treadmill. For those of you not used to metric measures, this is a ludicrously minimal amount of exertion; I normally walk at around 6 km/h and ten minutes is, well, ten minutes. And if I try and do this twice too close together (like walking to get an ice cream, sitting for half an hour, and walking back) I wreck my energy levels and sleep for the following several days. #PostViralFatigue #LongCovid
So why a public post about this? Partly because it forces me to acknowledge the improvement myself. Partly to encourage other people hitting such "lack luster" milestones that no, this really is progress.
But also as a public service annoucement that post-viral/chronic fatigue feels and behaves differently to 'being tired'. You can carry out a task that doesn't feel like it is straining you at all - because it is well within your trivial strength levels - but which will leave you brain fogged, physically washed out, and unable to sleep properly for days afterwards. If you're getting hit by feeling like somebody has pulled the plug and feeling, well, stupid hours or even a day or two after being more active than normal, it might be worth looking into a longer description of how normal and chronic fatigue differ. The things that help in each situation are quite different.
Hoot 0.9.0 released! With several quality of life improvements and bugfixes! https://spritely.institute/news/hoot-0-9-0-released.html
And just in time for the Lisp Game Jam, which starts Friday! https://itch.io/jam/spring-lisp-game-jam-2026
We have a game jam template you might want to use for putting Scheme games in the browser! https://codeberg.org/spritely/hoot-game-jam-template
@spritely The whole hoot+wastrel looks really cool for distributing binaries of guile projects, is there some kind of tutorial on how to do that or is it still WIP? (or maybe not an objective at all but this looks quite exciting to me)
