This video is still useful to remind everyone that vile people can also sound funny and be charismatic. Though it should definitely come with such a disclaimer.

I hope your relatives are safe.

I’m working 36 hours in four 9-hour days.

I changed to part-time because I was exhausted and close to a burnout, since my brain stayed in work mode for most of Saturday too, and I was hoping to have two actual weekend days.

In the end, by increasing the time I’m not working, I actually managed to train my brain to not thinking about work outside of work. So not only I got the my 3 days weekends but I’m also disconnecting faster during work days.

My productivity also got objectively better, but that just makes me pissed off that I had to take a 10% cut to become a better worker.

There’s another thread going around where a left wing reporter with a failed drug test was accepted into ICE without even finishing to submit the paperwork.

That wouldn’t solve the immediate problem, which is adversarial officers being infiltrated at all levels of our defense structures. NATO is much more than government meetings, it has permanent structures that serve as the foundation of European security. If our leaders were not complete idiots there would be a second foundation built around the EU, but the Common Security and Defence Policy is nowhere near ready to replace NATO yet.

From what I could find, men are more likely to suffer from dandruff than women, so even though women can suffer from dandruff it makes sense from a marketing perspective to focus mostly on men, especially since men are still thought that any even cosmetically adjacent is not manly.

I think it’s not so much the shampoo but a mix of most men using shorter haircuts and doing less damaging things to their hair, like hair colouring.

And it’s not like there aren’t specialized shampoos targeting primarily men. I think I never saw a dandruff shampoo marketed towards women.

Even without outside intervention, something that happens every single day is not news.

The OG fascism was also a result of similar circumstances. If you look at history reactionary movements always form in the response to civic progress, and for long term progress what matters is the progressive side keep fighting until the progress is fully internalised by society. This doesn’t mean it won’t get worse before it gets better.

The openly nazi people are a society-wide extinction burst. In the 1990s they didn’t need to be openly contrarian, because the consensus agreed with them.

Nice socks are an underrated gift.

I also knock off car-first cities. A tram will not go full looney toons. And I expect that the professional drivers that are actually needed in a city will also not do it that often.

A bazillion understaffed forks ranging from unusable because they have more tinfoil hats than developers, and unusable because the single developer doesn’t understand why remote debugging shouldn’t be enabled by default.

People that buy commercial displays won’t tolerate adware on their monitors. Can you imagine having a screen in a store and it suddenly displaying ads that are not for what the store sells itself? This ensures there will always be an healthy demand for ad free displays.

Some premium brands like Bang & Olufsen sell TVs without adware, I think Panasonic TVs are mostly ad-free for now. Outside of that, most big brands will have “professional” or “commercial” product lines that also don’t have ads. But in all cases you’ll have to pay extra over the TVs subsidized by ads.

https://www.w3.org/wiki/ActivityPub/Primer/Authentication_Authorization mentions HTTP signatures since the very first version of the document in 2017. The current efforts seem more in the direction of describing standardizing the existing usage.

One example is HTTP signatures. Servers sign their payloads and receiving servers should validate not just the hash but ensure the payload is not too old. Mastodon allows for a twelve hour difference (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/security/#http-signatures) but other software might be stricter for security reasons. The a bunch of things like webfinger were designed around public dns and public key chains A mastodon server running on the open internet and/or expecting public keychain HTTPs will not be able to federate with something running in tor.

You could cut enough corners to make something that federates inside tor, but at that point it’s better to design something around tor’s features.

That’s just a frontend issue. You can have clients that don’t try to do regular polling.

Having reliable activitypub federation is going to be a much harder challenge. The server to server protocol has a bunch of assumptions that are not true for tor and i2p.

And unless you want the entire network to become a CSAM and Nazi cespool, you would also need a reliable way of identifying servers, which defeats the purpose.

I fully support Romeo and Juliet laws to not punish horny teenagers for being horny teenagers, but a 6 year difference at 14 years old is completely out of any reasonable scope to make an exception. Doubly so when the guy was so nonchalant about it 20 years later.

Regarding what Bernie calls the risks “robot soldiers”, I think the Star Trek episode A Taste of Armageddon should be mandatory viewing.

War is not always avoidable, but it becomes less so if the costs of fighting it are perceived as small.

That goes back to the original Luddites. They weren’t anti technology per-se, they were were anti oligarchy.
