@jonny @lina Does mining landfills for bitcoin count?

(OMG I had no idea the situation I'm thinking of had its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_buried_in_Newport_landfill)

CDU-MdB Krings polemisiert gg. das #IFG: Es sei nicht vermittelbar, „wenn NGOs oder Medienunternehmen“ aufwendige Leistungen des Staates „fast zum Nulltarif nach Belieben abrufen können“.

"Fast zum Nulltarif" vs. Realität: Wir zahlen regelmäßig 500 € - pro Antrag.

@lina i also wonder when trash mining will happen - i can imaging the pitch decks of like "oceans of cash under this golf course...," big speculative bubbles buying landfills. needs robotics tech that can recover the metals and a metals crash, so probably not next hype bubble but it's bound to be one of them.

Villeneuve's Dune is like if someone took Jodorowsky's dune and did the exact opposite, stripping out all of the interesting, colorful, complex, and weird things, and leaving the most tech company millenial grey bland ass shit

I could do without members of the United States Congress who have been in office longer than ICE has existed pretending that calls to #AbolishICE are "not a realistic public policy".

@eighthave Element X on Android just has broken notification settings which means I basically get all or nothing. Multiple times I've tried to use Android’s notification channels which work well for every other communication app, and either the changes don't apply (e.g. I keep getting notified for channels I've tried to silence), or they apply over broadly and I no longer get any notifications. 🙃

@krutonium just taking a piss at Drop, the new thingy from Cloudflare.

It's called FTP, you matterfraker!!

Why do Republicans win?

They win because they treat this as a team sport, and just like in college football, they don’t let rape allegations derail the game.

That doesn’t make Democrats wrong for demanding rapists stay the fuck out of their party. It just makes Republicans shit people, and Democrats principled losers.

Requested a #CVE ID through a #GitHub Security Advisory on June 27 and still nothing, almost two weeks now. GitHub's docs say it usually takes up to three days.

Anyone else seeing longer waits from the GitHub CNA lately, or is this just me? Curious whether it's a general slowdown or something specific to my request.

"Est-ce qu'il faut aménager le Tour de France à cause de la canicule?"

Ben je sais pas, il me semble que les recos sanitaires pour rester en vie par cette chaleur impliquent de ne pas faire d'effort physique prolongé directement sous un soleil de plomb, a fortiori sur un ruban de bitume qui peut atteindre des températures ahurissantes, mais bon, ton corps de cycliste ton choix hein.

Donc je propose qu'on attende que les surhommes bien au dessus de ce genre de recommandations se mettent à crever, et puis on verra à ce moment là.

anybody at #dwebcamp can help with Thyrex / L-Thyroxin medication (Thyroid)?
