Sure thing, my mobile carrier here in Saskatchewan Canada sends me a text message from a number in the Philippines urging me to redeem “points” by clicking a link to a Chinese domain (fun looking up .xin a new TLD that has a meaning of “trust”).

I like looking things up and I’m fascinated people will use their finite amount of life and some measure of tech skills to devote to phishing for phools.

This advice is dependent on AI-induced errors being treated as an externality and thus not something the company is liable for.

I dearly hope that this does not become the case - the limited liability of corporations is bad enough. If companies are given any kind of legal pass for AI mistakes and hallucinations...

Somebody always has to bear the pain of mistakes. Capitalism and AI could combine to make sure the wealthy are never that person.

so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery!
now I'm bedridden for recovery, which is at least a great improvement.
I'm still about 1300$ away from paying all my storage bills, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much!

Here you go, don't bother installing additional tools on servers when you don't really need them.

Tmux and SSH Agent Forwarding

Tools are being developed to fix SSH Agent forwarding so when you ssh to a server and attach to a tmux session your agent forwarding still works. But this requires you have this custom tool on every server, available on every OS/distro, etc.

What a giant waste of time. You don't need any of this; you can make a custom shell alias which updates your SSH_* ENVs for you

No matter what I do, I can't get a PHP dev container to work right. It seems to connect, and the terminal works, but f12 on an object type doesn't go to the class definition how it should. My plan was to use a PHP dev container for local PHP projects, since I can't get PHP to work natively on Windows. Or, I'd attach right to the container the project itself creates. But I've been at this all day with nothing to show for it except a lot of ChatGPT usage. Come on, end of the week!

Christmas Dash 1.1.1 is out. This is a patch update with some helpful additions.
Occupants and cookies no longer spawn in places you cannot access. This especially applies to cookies since they used to spawn in walls.
Pressing O now tells you how many occupants are in the house, but this is only if you are inside.
Small and medium snowballs have been improved. Small now stuns for 2 seconds instead of 1.5, and medium stuns for 4 instead of 3.

Please share what you got for Christmas because I feel deprived of information. I got some Mrs. Cavanaugh’s dark chocolate orange creams that I haven’t tried yet, and a bunch of gifts from the neighbors, including a bag of bite-size candy bars, a scarf, lotion, and a small round tin of cookies. And some kind of a strange wallet/purse thing. Also a six pack of fuzzy socks from the boyfriend to replace the ones I lost.

Spent a few days with the new #whatsApp UI on Windows.
So far, the experience is not as bad as it could be, but it's far from good as well:

- The time this Ui takes to load is painfully long. Understandable given essentially a whole entire browser is being spun up but that is a regression.
- Focus often doesn't stay where it's meant to when you leave and then return to the window. This worked fine in the previous version,thus a regression.
- Something in the underlying browser wrapper REALLY doesn't play nice with NVDA, often failing to properly focus or provide meaningful accessibility properties leading to an "unknown unknown unknown" reading. Not sure to what degree the Meta folks have control over this but if you're going to use third party wrappers you take on the responsibility of those wrappers malfunctioning and thus, regression.
- Resource usage has gone way up, I consider that a regression. #accessibility

For anyone using Airpods Pro 2 or Airpods Pro 3 as OTC hearing aids:
I'm trying to figure out how to take another hearing test. Mine is from October of last year, and my hearing has changed since then. My right ear is a little better than it was, and my left is possibly a bit worse.
I don't have a current audiogram. I just want to take the hearing test again, and use the settings from the new test, but can't find an obvious way to do that.

I'm probably reaching the limit of what these can do for me, but I want to give it a try before investing in something expensive that will be inevitably annoying and/or disappointing, even if it turns out to be useful.

Signs you are expendable to the #CAQ?

1000+ cases of #COVID19 last week.

Why won't the CAQ cover the cost of the COVID-19 vaccine for all the Québécois/ses?

Because ~1000 cases of #COVID19 per week, since September, is A-OK to the #CAQists.

I've never used a Mac in my life, and part of me would like to buy a Mac of some kind and play around with it to see what they're like and see what would be needed to get yasr to work in the terminal, but then exactly 0 people have asked me to do this, and it isn't as though I have a shortage of things that I should get around to doing... (If I were to lose my day job and wanted to look for another one, then that might change things; it could be an interesting project for me to up-skill and learn a little about Mac development.)

Our Sunday morning before church was very interesting! I am getting ready for church, when I hear this loud huge bang that sounds like a car crash. Shortly after, I hear what sounds like a man screaming. My daughter says, Daddy, there's a man trying to climb over the back fence. Quickly, I rushed everyone into the garage and lock the door. We call 911 to report what's going on. The dispatcher sends out four police officers they start combing our little community for the supposed man that is trying to climb over my back gate. Shortly afterwards, the head officer comes back and says it's not a man! There is a deer that has gotten its head hung in your fence. We are going to call animal control to see what we need to do next. At this point there are four officers standing in our back courtyard where the deer is stuck. All of a sudden, the deer breaks loose and runs a rampage around the courtyard totally scared out of its mind. The poor thing runs into the window but does no damage to itself or the window. It runs around the courtyard knocking over my fire pit, and my table and chairs. All of a sudden, it turns leaping over the back fence in which it was stuck at first. Then it leaps over the border fence around the back of my community and runs away leaving behind only a few splotches of blood. I sure hope the poor deer is OK. Needless to say, we've got a great story to tell this Christmas.

The Christmas time, aka the time that Pawel took a longer off period and has time to go down various memory lanes, will probably lead to development of new, personal traditions such as digging up tons of vintage tech resources. This year I present GSM Online, a news site from Poland which originated as a regular source of the latest telcom and cellular phone related news from Poland, Europe, sometimes Japan, US and other places where the technology was booming. Today it's one of many tech portals but in 2000 when it started, it reported on every little thing happening in the cell phone world, including deals, new services, experimental tech that never saw the light of day outside of small pilot test environments etc. The excited eight-year-old wanted his dad to copy every new article onto Kajetek, a Polish notetaker with Braille input and voice output, so that those could be read any time without sighted assistance. Turns out their news archives date back to the early 2000 and are still available. Everything's in Polish but worth an automatic translation if you'd like to experience what kinds of tiny details the industry would focus on back then and which solutions were thought of but never fully implemented. gsmonline.pl/newsy?page=2008 #Mobile #Phone #Retro #Tech

Oh yeah, the reason I looked this up in the first place was me being reminded of Cell Broadcast, solution used today for the emergency alerts but having more entertainment-related purposes in the early 00's. Phones back then had a section of the regular messages feature where channels could be subscribed to, kind of like the CB radio. You would enter the channel numbers and your device would listen for messages delivered to the nearest cell tower matching that channel. Those messages could be delivered instantly as they targeted specific cells, not recipients, and didn't have to wait in the regular SMS queue. Example services run by my carrier included jokes, horoscope, a newsflash, something called Graffity where anybody could post anything and some dating channels because what could possibly go wrong. I think the 050 channel was a standardized one for broadcasting the name of the nearest tower which was the equivallent of accessing your current location. Many Nokia phones had a dedicated setting for that one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_Bro… #CellPhone
