How am I not surprised. A company that scams people being ran by a shitty person? Yeah, makes sense: chaos.social/@SylvieLorxu/1148…


I would like to urge my followers to strongly avoid #TRMNL.

TRMNL calls itself "unbrickable" and Open Source, telling you you can host your own server and that basically everything is fully supported: web.archive.org/web/2025071818…. This is not true. The only thing a local server can do is send images to the device and *proxy from their proprietary server*: web.archive.org/web/2025071806….

To add insult to injury, TRMNL is trying to refuse me a refund, in gross violation of EU law.

Told y'all we were cooking.

Say hello to Conjured Ink ( conjured.ink ): an #IndieWeb-based, #decentralized ecosystem of shops networked together to resist the kind of nonsense Itch and Steam have been dealing with.

We're a collective designing and building the software needed for folks who aren't techies to basically self host without feeling like they're self-hosting. Because you shouldn't need to be a sysadmin to free yourself from this yoke.

Join us!

[They] couldn’t fathom that Democrats–or regular people, like me–might have legitimate objections to indefinite detention of children. Or fake nurses in for-profit nursing homes. Or millions of people kicked off their health insurance. Or the long list of ways which this law will physically hurt us. […] What a pathetic flock of sheep the house Republicans are. They knew what they were doing was wrong, on a few different levels, and they did it anyway.


Jennifer Briney does us the public service of actually reading all 840 pages of the One Big Beautiful Bill act, then tells us what’s in it. I guarantee with 100% certainty that your favorit journalist, talking head, politics blogger, youtuber, substacker et al have not done this. They know nothing. Be smarter than them. Listen. Then, GIVE HER SOME MONEY!

Then tell your friends. congressionaldish.com/cd320-on…

  • Tourist visas cost $250.
  • Immigrants applying for assylum to the US will be charged a $100 anual fee for every year they must wait on us (thanks to the aforementioned limit on immigration judges).
  • Employment authorization? $550, to be renewed anually for $275.
  • Children will be charged an extra $250 per child.
  • If they are found to be inadmissable by a DHS official or judge, they must pay a $900 fee to appeal.
  • Best of all, if they actually win in court and want their deportation order recinded, they must pay yet another fee of $650.
  • Any or all of these fees can be increased–but not decreased–at the discression of the secritary of homeland security.
  • Immigrants with temporary protected status–who already pay a fee of $50–now pay $500.

All just to live and work here legally, a thing Republicans claim to want. Why? TO be mean and evil. Because they are mean and evil.

So I'm thinking of adding support for %time{} in #curl's -w function.

One reason for doing this is for users who use -w for logging and want to include the time of the event (post-transfer) in a convenient way.

I finally have cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Win) release files for my reverb plugin! I wrote today about setting up a CMake build process (instead of Projucer/Xcode) and using GitHub actions to compile each version:

Someone or something at Google started to hallucinate that #Quicksy is collecting the user's email address and would not approve the app update until we declared that in our data policy.

The sign up process in Quicksy hasn't changed in 7 years. I don't even know where the user would enter their email address and I'm not aware of an API that collects this automatically.

"A 2023 study found that a single Chat GPT-3 request processed at an Arizona data center uses about 30 milliliters of water, compared to 12 ml per request in Wyoming. That doesn’t seem like much (it’s less than a shot-glass) until you consider that there are at least 1 billion ChatGPT queries worldwide per day and growing, using a total of some 8 million gallons of water daily, worldwide."

Unpopular opinion? AI is way out of control. One of many reasons:
