I bet you don't remember when #wget briefly considered switching to using #libcurl back in 2007.

Pokud máte vlastní doménu, ale nechcete přímo hostovat mastodont, můžete si aspoň zajistit dohledatelnost přes tu vlastní doménu. Současně pokud jste za hvězdu, můžete si v klidu nechat natisknout vizitky a plakáty s vaším ID a vůbec nevadí, že v budoucnosti přejdete na jinou instanci. Stále to bude fungovat 😎
Zde jak na to: blog.maartenballiauw.be/post/2…

Holy shit. The LA Times didn't just squash a Kamala Harris endorsement. They buried an entire series of articles about Donald Trump.

"According to internal memos viewed by TheWrap, the series, tentatively called 'The Case Against Trump,' would have ran throughout this week. The endorsement of Kamala Harris would then have been published on Sunday."

My family is a Linux family: both my parents and my wife use Linux, and so will the kids once they have their own computers. Apart from my Dad, they're all non-enthusiasts.

Yet, none of them use a beginner-friendly distribution. My Wife, who's by far the least technologically inclined of them all, is a very happy and satisfied NixOS user. A distribution that's the exact opposite of beginner-friendly.

How is that possible? None of them maintain their systems. I do that for them. In the past two decades, what I learned from helping friends and family with their computers is that the vast majority of non-enthusiasts have absolutely no desire to install and maintain an operating system, or even programs. They're much happier if someone else does that for them.

Therefore, while I see value in distributions aimed at beginner enthusiasts, I see very little value in distributions aimed at non-enthusiasts.

I wrote a few more words about this topic on my blog too.

Constantly persisting everything in a web form to localstorage in case of browser, tab accidents is such a cheap and effective trick!

„Lidem v sociální nouzi pomáhá stát formou příspěvku na bydlení, která se odvíjí mimo jiné od výše nájmu. Systém tedy funguje tak, že majitelé ubytovny nastaví nájemné kolem dvaceti tisíc korun za pokojík, který obývá pětičlenná rodina, a tuto částku prakticky celou uhradí příspěvek na bydlení. A tento byznys a s ním i existenci ubytoven hradíme všichni z našich daní. Nejsou to tedy Romové, kdo zneužívá dávky, ale podnikatelé obchodující s chudobou.” denikreferendum.cz/clanek/3680…

Any bets we're going to see this complete a full circle?

NEW: Crypto critic @molly0xfff received emails from a purported lawyer and someone working for a “reputation management company” offering bribes in exchange for the takedown of a blog post about the arrest of an alleged crypto fraudster.

The purported lawyer used a blog post made on a website apparently populated with the use of a service that offers "SEO optimized human-like content” using AI, claiming White infringed copyright.

White declined.
