Do you have any thoughts on the #permacomputing movement/ethos?
I haven't looked too deep into their software and programming languages, but I strongly identify with the "my solar-powered laptop from 2006 works fine, get off my lawn M$"-part of their philosophy.
they're the kinda people who use dithered images on their websites to save on storage, bandwidth and energy

@moses_izumi @petrillic yes! this is why i am such a strong advocate of portability and why i think spack is such an important piece of technology for practically achieving it. i also think the internet itself tends to be antithetical to this goal and it's one reason (along with surveillance and security) that i have been developing an alternative

@tim In the past I've just used a trivial Cloud Run Go app for similar shenanigans, but I agree - three really ought to be a simpler way.
@thomrstrom the stupidest thing is that it's supported for non-GCS-bucket load balancers, and their "Media CDN" product, but not plain Cloud CDN backed by a GCS bucket. For no good reason.
I've been thinking about collapse narratives, which have been getting more and more common over recent decades.
"fall together, fall into an irregular mass through loss of support or rigidity ..."

A fundamental break with Business as Usual does indeed seem unavoidable. But perhaps the alternative to collapse is for us to elapse?
"To slide, slip, or glide away; pass away with or as if with a continuous gliding motion ..."
Xeiaso blog: Amazonbot is finally respecting robots.txt
About time! One down, twenty more to go (give or take 1000)

@cadey@pony.social does this mean default bot policy will now let them through? Neat.

I guess that means I have to migrate back to local nginx serving that ... proxies out to GCS? Or at that point maybe just move the media back locally, but that sounds painful. Just so I can block scrapers. What a load of bullshit.

@tomjennings @petrillic i think you heavily underestimate how willing i am to fight corps in court when i'm in the right
GOOD! I didn't mean to discourage you or anyone. It's about power, not rights, if you have the cash or the connections you could do some broader good.
My Cyclical Growth-Centered Story Structure
A couple years ago I wrote and posted a couple of essays about growth-centered story structures.
My own growth-centered story structure is the result of trial and error over about a decade...

Take note: Everything this court does, it does with at least one eye to preserving right-wing political power. They’re •still• afraid of rescinding abortion access before an election.

You've got to be fucking kidding me, Google Cloud's Cloud Armor security policies won't do HTTP header based filtering on a GCS Cloud CDN bucket endpoint?

And also youll be forced go defend it, at your own great expense.
Its a terrible situation with no visible protections against corps that will just steal and make you force them to stop.

@petrillic i want it to spark a revolutionary movement that even free software was too libertarian to catalyze
@timixretroplays my question is, what's changed between FF 148 and 150 to introduce so many new bugs?
@jpm I suspect the only major change is that AI tool - I imagine if they ran Mythos over v148 they'd get similar results, but haven't bothered because it's an obsolete release. I doubt very much they've introduced 12x the flaws in the space of two versions............ Unless AI also wrote the new code?
what society really needs right now is a cozy slice of life anime set in Shenzhen covering the life of a young ambitious hardware hacker catgirl with cute fangs and tail
@alina apart from the catgirl, this sounds like an anime version Naomi Wu - sadly missed from the internet
Eight password reset emails in a row that I didn’t trigger from Instagram. From my dormant, locked account that uses an anonymized email address. Nothing to be suspicious about right?
