For real, by now the Moon should feel as accessible as Antarctica.

buying multi-TB drives like they’re nothing!

Surprise surprise. If you go through Techdirt’s archives, you can see Mike Masnick has spent thousands of words losing his shit any and every time Facebook has faced ANY criticism. I don’t know if he has a financial interest in them (like he does with Bluesky) but the moment someone suggests reining them in, here comes Masnick to defend one of the richest, most lawyer-ed up companies around.

It’s super-convenient for installing apps that are already part of the ecosystem, but installing unvetted apps is less so. When they say you’re on your own they really mean it. I don’t like the workflow of being able to maintain some apps through the web portal, and then having to SSH to the machine for all my custom apps.

I’d prefer a middle ground between Yunohost and, say, bare-metal Debian. But I think I’m just going to have to get stuck in and take the long way around to proper hosting. It’ll take longer, but I’ll learn more.

Leak? Surely they mean “unintended emission.”

I recently installed Fedora Server 43 and ran into dozens of problems with Docker and SE Linux. Not sure if others have had similar problems, but I ended up switching to Yunohost (but I don’t like it much).

Mm, I’ve tried leaving mastodon.social, and quickly found that a lot of the people I follow and my followers form an elaborate web of blocks/de-federations that meant I would inevitably lose contact with many people. They’re all good people, but I don’t think they’d change their own instances just for my sake. I could join like, three different instances just to keep in touch, but if forced to choose at this point, I might just give up on Mastodon altogether.

The Big Time lobby strikes again!

“After carefully considering the matter, we have determined that we have done nothing wrong.”

We now go live to RFK Jr. for his reaction:

Well that about does it for the USA. At least we gave the rest of the world a good, hearty laugh as we all perished from preventable illnesses.

The boys have been taking their zinc supplements.

Ring: Fuck it, we Flock now.

… I was not ready for this jelly.

I mean maybe, but he also looks to me like a clout-chasing narcissist who had absolute belief in his own intelligence, power, and influence. People like that tend to try to surround themselves with others who flatter their self-image, so they can “casually” drop stuff into conversations like, “You know, I was just talking to Steven Pinker the other day,” or, “That reminds me of something Noam Chomsky once told me…”

What’s shocking to me is just how many scientists, academics, and other allegedly smart kept asking Epstein for advice about shit, even though he was merely a lucky idiot who they knew was also a convicted sex offender.

If they had any decency at all they should be arresting the president.

But hell would need to freeze over first. 😡

I like a nice placebo now and again, though.

I think you’ve gone the extra mile in actually mentioning what the video is about. On my instance, YouTube links just say “Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube” so half the time I have no idea what is even being posted.

ut-oh

And the OEM’s are like:
