FYI, the fossil fuel lobby is just stating it all pretty plainly
@fiore but the fascist IQ test for the NSA summer camp had a third component, where they made you remember arrangements of colored blobs (they specifically used piss yellow and shit brown which are both actually very fun colors if you like colors) and then demand the test taker reproduce the same sequence of racist blob arrangements either 15 or 30 minutes later, while doing the shape rotation part i completely fucked up in between the memorization and recall components
@fiore but anyway the little blobs looked like pokemon to me so of course i got 100% on that section. absol and houndoom were particularly helpful analogies. note that both of them were designed by human artists to have silhouettes evoking evil/demonic imagery
what are you overthinking today?

Assume every entity that tries to capture your ID or your photo and tells you that they delete it as soon as it's no longer needed, they are lying.

I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer.
It’s insidious, painful and almost always diagnosed far too late.
This new drug offers much needed hope to patients and families… but almost no one can afford a half million dollar price tag
Shameful.

It was indeed my pine book pro.
And it was DIRTY. I clorox'd it, and it's looking better now.
It is charging now, allegedly, or at least the red charging light is on. But nothing happens when I press the power button.
If I recall correctly, that means it will take 24 hours or more before anything happens when I press the power button (or! Because it was in the garage for so long without A/C and with humidity, perhaps it will never turn on again.)
I remember kind of hating this thing, but I don't know if that's because I was Big Mad at computers when I was using it, or because it sucks.

@krig when you think about it, the 10x thing was always the wrong developers.

A propósito, "o avanço da extrema-direita japonesa acende o alerta para riscos à comunidade imigrante, inclusive a brasileira"
"Em julho de 2025, o Movimento Brasileiros Emigrados (MBE), junto a 1.159 organizações, assinou a 'Declaração Coletiva de Emergência das ONG contra o incitamento à xenofobia'. O documento alertou para o crescimento do discurso de ódio e reivindicou políticas de igualdade de tratamento para estrangeiros."

@Persona Nossa! Esse assunto me emociona muito e a emoção é raiva. Todo mundo sabe que é um dos países do mundo que mais precisam URGENTEMENTE de CRIANÇAS e JOVENS, logo o governo deveria estar INCENTIVANDO a imigração em benefício próprio, mas parece que preferem a autodestruição. Deixa acabar, né? Pelo visto, é melhor assim.

Based on the responses from 1Password's CEO and cofounder, they're not likely to change course, so I've cancelled my account.
If you still have time left on your billing cycle to find an alternative and export your data, there's no reason to wait to cancel; speak with your dollars.
I like the Strongbox KeePass manager for my iPhone, iPad, Mac. It has very nice Apple Password Autofill, built in Authenticator, PassKey support and other goodies that work very well with Apple products.
@Roundtrip I am confused by the proliferation of password managers that are variants of the “KeePass” token. But this does look like what I want. Thanks.
@fiore but in fact i actually do not enjoy being sidetracked at all. and i do in fact try very hard to cut my losses and refocus when programming.
and this is also why i'm unbeatable at prototyping because prototyping is when you have an excuse to just not solve any nontrivial problem because you have a deadline to make

kudos to The Verge for juxtaposing one of DHH's many insane racist/fascist statements right next to the bullshit victimization rhetoric of that 1Password cofounder
@fiore (it's so crazy that the obsessive tendency towards abstraction is also what alexander grothendieck was known for. the guy who provided a non-prime number accidentally-on-purpose. because primality is a structure of hierarchical control)

hot take: if you’re making microcontroller boards or single-board computers and you don’t want to do the software so you leave that up to the community that you hope shows up to both purchase the hardware and implement the software for you, the very least you could do is make UART and reflashing an inline operation with one of the ports on the device without any dongles or wack-ass flashing programs on the host side - just send bits in the interface, they get written to the flash. like, c’mon. give us that much.
@djsundog Fucking right?
Give me a hardware mode switch.
