> A few fates that I’ve avoided, barely: one is joining the Nineties Internet Re-Enactment Society, where communities scrabble to re-inforce the dominant vibe of — what, two? three? years maximum? — the early networks. I mean, I still have it in my habits — my dinky RSS reader, my affinity for plain text, email. A co-worker described watching me work as “like someone playing one of those adventure games”. I can see it.
> There’s a tradition you draw from, but the tradition evolves, it doesn’t mindlessly recreate. You don’t stay in the moment that you entered that tradition. My daughter says that Discord is IRC for young people, Slack is IRC for old people, and IRC is for people who can’t get out of their chair.
OOF
I use #Bibuomi ( #IRC to #XMPP gateway ) to access whatever IRC channel ( or network for that matter ) I need to ..
So .. basically, hum .. no, I don't get that much chair time because I do IRC from my phone using #Conversations
Pretty cool actually 😎

At the same time the largest conservative outlets were screaming about censorship, #Meta was internally clocking them as the biggest producers of hate speech on Facebook. Simultaneously, one employee notes: "We make special exceptions to our written policies for them."
I find "trucks" that have a massive footprint with a tiny bed ridiculous. If you can't fit a full 4'x8' sheet of plywood in the back, it's not a proper truck.

@vick21 It’s in your client (and used to be in tweezecake IIRC) but not in mainline Mastodon. It is in some forcs though, like Glitch-soc and also some Akkoma instances. Like mine!
When I quote post from Enafore, it does mention the other people in the thread and does not break the previous thread. You can remove the mentions though if you choose.
The quoted post shows up as a separate post in the feed so you can reply, boost, etc. it if you want. This probably does not work everywhere but it should if you are on a supported instance! For example:
Es drängt sich der Gedanke auf, dass die ihn lobbyierende Klientel hofft, an der "Technologieoffenheit" bei der Beseitigung der mit seiner Hilfe viel größeren Schäden durch die Klimakatastrophen noch viel mehr Geld verdienen zu können.

If you haven't seen this, its the best and most beautiful explanation for the "why" of privacy, and what it means for the practical definition of it.
I've never been able to put it into words myself, I scarce understood the totality of my own motivations and methods beyond what "felt right" for one reason or another. More than anything, this binds every one of those motivations into one.

Pouring
emptiness into emptiness
like waves coming to shore,
you become quiet,
luminous,
still.
Where
before there were
ten thousand entanglements, now
there is undifferentiated
Oneness, clarity,
peace.

Came across this Hacker News comment by @rain which succinctly describes one reason #Rust's approach to ownership and borrowing is valuable: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3…
> Which popular GC languages have mutexes owning the state they guard, such that it is structurally impossible to access that inner state without holding the lock? To do that you must have single ownership.
Posting for the benefit of anyone else who, like me, is sometimes swayed by the backlash against Rust.

🆕 blog! “Review: Roamless Travel eSIM”
★★★★★
I've got a bunch of travel coming up to exotic locations. Previously, I've bought a local SIM card when I've landed - but they're often expensive, fiddly to fit, and queuing in an airport isn't much fun. I've also bought pre-paid SIMs which have a fixed amount of data or only last a specific amount of time.
But the big…

How to automate iPhone reboots to improve performance & security
Regularly restarting your iPhone clears temporary files, refreshes system processes, and enhances security — and you can automate it all with the Shortcuts app.Andrew Orr (AppleInsider)
libidn2,libssh2,zlib/brotli/zstd, GnuTLS,nghttp3+ngtcp2, nghttp2 ... whats the pros/cons for using c-ares ... or any of the other resolvers for that matter ? I have my own opinions but curious of others ...
Note two bugs exist:
1. No choosing of audio device in NVDA's sound dialog (it re-inits the DLL with a full crash and isn't playing through nvwave player)
2. Be warned that cold-starting NVDA with this synthesizer will result in no speech, but it does work when switching from another synth over. Haven't had time to trace down why this is happening exactly, so far the only "fix" is to send a silent audio to prime the DLL for better init.
eurpod.com/eloq20-2024.nvda-ad… (and before people complain, it's 2025! I'm basing the version on the NVDA series, and making it 2025 may cause confusion to think it's fully compatible with NVDA 2025.X) Also, no shorten pauses, we might be able to add inflection and a few other things back, although doing so may reset variant parameters which is why these are not part of the driver yet. Compared to even Eloquence 3.3, it's super basic and there's not much we can do about that. I tried to disable the abreviations dictionary as well, but Eloquence still loaded it regardless, so again, no clue on it yet.
Oh, and huge shoutout to @rommix0 again, without his debug info I couldn't have done it. Hats off to you, man.
