On this day in 2002, we shipped curl 7.10. The first #curl version that did certificate checks by default when speaking TLS unless specifically asked not to.

When I heard of the digital Pokemon TCG, I was like, "That sounds like all the downsides and none of the positives because I don't get cards with nice art at the end of it." (Ignoring the fact that many Pokemon cards are generic 3D renders that a fan could make anyway.)

Apparently there is a new "collection" in this TCG app that is just a repeat of a bunch of cards from a previous collection, and I found out about it from a YouTube video calling this a "scam". But really, I think fucking up the satisfaction of collecting stuff is a good thing to stop people with gambling impulses.

Collecting stuff is red flag behaviour if the stuff you're collecting was meant to be collected. As in, it's a red flag that you love marketing and I will dislike you. But even a garbage collection like funko-pops or physical cards is eventually cool once the company is gone – a digital TCG collection will stop existing before it ever becomes cool.

I've been thinking (and that's not good for anyone and everyone should be holding their breath) about media consumption patterns over time, and how those shifting patterns in consumer habits have shaped culture.

This might be an Old Man yells at clouds moment, but I think there's likely something to it.

I'll try to coalesce the things I'm thinking into coherent words.

The Android Airplay client DroidPlay (apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.t…) hasn't seen any update for 10 years. We still see regular downloads from F-Droid clients for it. As there are not many alternatives, we'd still keep it in our repo if it's still useful.

Anyone here using it? Does it still work, or should we rather drop it?

EDIT: solved, we'll replace it with a much more recent fork already available in our repo 🥳

It's wild (and unsurprising) to me that journalists act tough when they have ample opportunity to negatively comment on accessibility, but don't ever mention accessibility wins.

Despite all the noise I made with accessibility on GNOME Calendar, no journalist has gone further than "better screen reader support and keyboard navigation", meanwhile most didn't even mention it whatsoever.

Hit a snag: when curl tries to connect to a unix domain socket, linux gives the same ECONNREFUSED when no one listens on it and when the accept queue is full.

I'd like to continue trying in the later case, but failing when no one listens seems more important. meh.

Anyone a somehwat portable idea?

PSA, the new Android 16 update will surreptitiously reenable fingerprint device unlock even if you had intentionally disabled it before. Depending on where you live and your threat model, this might not be safe! Americans have little protection against law enforcement compelling biometrics unlock. To make matters worse, the fingerprint unlock settings are found in a different part of the security settings UI than the rest of the device unlock settings. If you update to Android 16, make sure your device unlock settings are what you intended.

*smh* the problem AI is designed to solve is the problem of paying wages.

No wonder megacorporations are desperate to normalise this slop.

Depress or eliminate wages, eliminate all these upstart people not born to the right parents.

The eugenicist project behind it is clear with even the tiniest bit of pattern recognition.
