mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06
  • Open on mastodon.social

Elric. Geek. Software engineer (for now?). Unaugmented human being. Swears like a sailor. Loves tea. Somewhere on the spectrum. Which spectrum? Probably most of them. Remembers the internet when it was still a force for good.

Elric's Melniboné was a waning empire ruled by an amoral indolent hedonist class who let slaves tend to their every whim.. That's beginning to sound familiar.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I'm sure this was a very comprehensive poll that was in no way biased towards your insane policies. After all, no one is *against* children's protection. But everyone with half a brain is against the totalitarian regime you're building under the guise of "protecting the children".

@EUCommission Except when the truth is mildly inconvenient to those in power or those with wealth. Then the truth will be muted and reporters will lose funding.

@kepano I'm aware of some healthcare providers using Confluence to store patient data. I'm sure this is all perfectly in line with the spirit of GDPR (or HIPAA).

@AaronDavid This is why Progressive JPEG was a thing. The interlacing meant you could at least see what the image was going to be, and abort the download if it wasn't what you were looking for. Good times.

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange But why? Rate limiting is a thing that exists, they could easily apply that to RSS feeds instead of the wholesale bot "protection" garbage they've got going on. Yay centralisation. Sigh.

@BafDyce No longer the case here in Belgium, sadly. Some stops have no schedule. Other stops have incorrect schedules. Which is kind of fine, because they're all pure fiction anyway.

@Jer "Until the US is stopped"? And who's going to stop them? The only way this ends is from within the US. There is zero chance of an external party forcing the US to see reason. Their poltical leadership is too far down the shitter.

@ABT554 Age verification. Social media crackdowns. Hate speech laws that are insanely broad in scope. IIRC there's also a weird ebike thing going on? Not to mention the apalling treatment of many indigenous people. Yeah, a true beacon of freedom.

@fazalmajid During the first Gulf War, my asthma medication was suddenly hard to get, because it was supposedly being stockpiled by the US military as a precaution against chemical weapons. While I don't need missiles to stay alive, I suspect their military will fuck up the supply chain of a bunch of unexpected goods.

@joepbc@mastodon.social My point is that a lot of the examples he brings up are entirely self-inflicted. People could simply put their phones away in places where they don't enjoy being filmed. But they don't. Thus worsening the problem. Big Tech can fuck off, but they're not forcing anyone to have their phones out all the time. They're not making it impossible to date without apps. That's people, not tech companies.

@obsidian@mas.to Good job, @kepano@mastodon.social and friends. I'm sure this was released a little earlier than originally planned, due to the recent security hysteria. Will there be a way for developers to provide feedback on the reviews, and maybe have some issues manually approved by the team? E.g. Dataview's "requests to external domain" is a false positive.

@thunfisch@chaos.social I haven't had any major problems running self-hosted Gitlab in the ~13(?) years I've been using it. I've always been impressed (and have taken inspiration from) their public company handbook. And this news is likely to erode all of my trust in them as a company and their product. Enshittification seems to be everywhere.

Are there (online) book clubs for software engineers? Mostly interested in Java, Distributed Systems, Type Systems, Performance, Security, but open to pretty much anything software related.
