This is a MessagePad 100, the device that Apple shipped too early, and revisited with iPhone a decade later.

It was widely ridiculed because you wrote on it with handwriting, but it didn't interpret what you wanted from what you wrote and how you wrote it, you had to teach yourself how to write what it wanted to interpret.

Looking at AI today... Ah, you can write the punchline for yourselves.

Great to see the political leadership in #Estonia which is allowing the public sector to continue to lead in digital government. There are a lot of #OpenSource wins which the world is already benefitting from.

“If I supply you with a tool to remove DRM (like some versions of Calibre), then I commit a felony and Amazon can have me sent to prison for five years for giving you a tool to move my book from the Kindle app to a rival app like Kobo. ... [E]ven though copyright law says you can format shift your books, music, videos, games, [etc.], DMCA 1201 (a ‘paracopyright law’) makes this an imprisonable felony if you have to break DRM first.” – @pluralistic

Github, Microsoft, and every company out there will basically do anything _except_ pay open source maintainers or their software.

The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!

On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.

This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.

Yours may be one of them!

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

Hlásím se z Berlína. Dneska jsme museli našeho koně #Cofiho 🐎 odvést do místní kliniky pro koně na FU Berlin.

Bohužel nás zlobí přední noha, tak snad to bude dobré! Ještě řeším nějaké pracovní resty a tak jsem si do sluchátek pustil něco energetického ať se lépe pracuje.

The two #curl CVEs we publish today are both rated medium and affect QUIC connections when curl is built to use wolfSSL

Hiroki Kurosawa reported both and he is rewarded 2540 USD for each from the curl bug-bounty.

With these two, the total bug-bounty payout from #curl now exceeds 90,000 USD over the last few years.

Re: last boost (the last post from this thread: mastodon.social/@GeePawHill/11…), I admit there are some thoughts that I've only shared with an LLM (usually Claude), even though I know, if I think about it, that what I'll get back is just a statistically generated response, not an actual thought in return. There are some things I've been afraid to share with other humans, for fear that I'll get criticism in response, though in some cases, criticism may be what's needed, as long as it's constructive.


mastodon.social/@Kurtis_Clark/…

On the one hand, yes, of course.

On the other hand, There is a reason why this obscene LLM scam succeeds, a reason beyond the marketing of the extractive capitalist scumbags who are sponsoring it.

There is a reason why innocents turn to a chatbot to answer their questions.

You know what it is?

In a world so bereft of love, anyone -- even a neo-nazi -- or anything -- even a bullshit-spewing LLM -- that offers even mere neutrality has an overwhelmingly powerful allure.

And, as I have said, that's not on the exploiters, as much as I despise them.

They're taking advantage of the situation, unspeakable advantage of it, don't mistake me: they are sociopathic scum.

But, by and large, *we're* the ones creating the cold barren loveless ground on which the innocent dupes stand.

You wanna break this LLM thing?

Work on your kindness. Work on making it more rich. Work on increasing its reach.

That's why I come before you day after day, being silly, confessing embarrassing shit, talking about my health, giving out my parting shots most nights.

I'm working on my kindness.

Join me. Maybe we can create a world where innocents aren't so alone they'll prefer Eliza 3.0 to actual human contact.

#curl 8.14.0 is here with new stuff, bugfixes and two security advisories.

Almost exactly a year ago, I found a subreddit called r/TimeTravel. The first post was someone asking a very simple question: How can I go back to the past and change things? I thought this was a troll subreddit, to be honest. So, I wrote a troll comment, which I'll paste below. But I'm writing this post a year later because I just got a private message from someone, asking if my time travel trick really worked. This is not even close to the first message I've received in response to this comment. Someone even bought the laptop I referenced.

---

Look for a used IBM Thinkpad 700. Install the earliest beta build of Windows 95 (March 1993, when it was still just codenamed Chicago). Open two instances of the date/time settings. Change one of them to 11:11 AM on April 1, 1948. Change the other to 11:11 AM on January 4, 1984. Press okay on both as quickly as possible.

Then, disconnect the laptop from the power source (although you might want to bring the charger with you, to return to other timelines). Go back into date/time settings and change the date and time to whenever you want to travel.

If you don't disconnect the laptop from the power source, it will try and transport as much of the connecting wall as it can, which usually leads to some truly fucked up shit. DO NOT FORGET TO UNPLUG YOUR THINKPAD.

Every time you reboot you have to redo the simultaneous date setting. If you're going back before electricity, for goodness sake bring a solar charger.

Finished reading Exterminate Regenerate this morning and I think I’ll recommend it, especially if you came to Doctor Who during after the Classic series. The historical context is really well laid out and there are great anecdotes in there. The tales about Modern Who are a little bit more sparse (admittedly due to modern secrecy standards), but John Higgs weaves an engaging story through Modern Who, too.
