Trailblazing Braille Taser

You can’t just blame 18-26 year-olds. This was a failure across all age groups. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/interactive-how-key-groups-of-americans-voted-in-2024-according-to-ap-votecast

Brave and Opera are both forks of Chromium that incorporate upstream changes. Firefox is an entire browser.

Ever wonder why you’re getting ads for melatonin?

I’m sympathetic if you’re living off the grid and don’t use public infrastructure. But the “sovereign citizens” that we usually hear about have already implicitly accepted the social contract and are now trying to weasel out of the consequences. The license plates that say “private; no license required” are just utter balogna.

That said, I’m completely in support of nonviolent resistance against unjust laws. But most sovereign citizens, in my estimation, are not protesting in support of any higher cause.

Nor I, as a sovereign citizen in the United States.

Teach your kids to play music with cat /dev/fd0 >/dev/snd.

Do not give Bezos ideas about uploading brains to the cloud. He would make AWS CloudEmployee, an employee-as-a-service product that lets you scale your business up or down, without expensive layoffs and bad PR.

Except everyone writing C is writing sloppy C. It’s like driving a car, there’s always a non-zero chance of an accident.

Even worse, in C the compiler is just waiting for you to trip up so it can do something weird. Think the risk of UB is overblown? I found this article from Raymond Chen enlightening: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140627-00/?p=633

Dats a goose

Maybe the procedure would fix whatever’s wrong with their brains. Like, maybe Trump would slowly regain the ability to form complete sentences. I’m imagining a Flowers for Algernon situation where he wakes up one day, reads his own Wikipedia page, and is briefly ashamed before the non-neural parts of his body crap out.

Yes, please focus on the Global Dryness problem first. I must be wet at all times.

Oops

It’s not a failure of the web, it’s a failure of corporations to accept their place as just a tab in my browser. It’s also easier to track users, exploit vulnerabilities, etc. from within a mobile app.

Yeah, there really should be some expectation of stewardship in exchange for absurd post-Disney copyright durations.

Actually I would like to read that. Might be worth the risk?

You’re coming dangerously close to setting Rufus free. I have a feeling you’re about to be visited by a time traveler with a dire warning if you keep trying this.

You can also ask it to repeat the letter A one million times. For reasons I don’t understand, it will say “A A A…” for a while before hitting some sort of repetition limit and then it starts speaking gibberish.

What does “maintain a lower profile” mean specifically? I think the point of a private tracker is that you don’t need to enable DHT, which effectively broadcasts to the internet that your IP address is trying to download content identified by a specific hash.

Isn’t that the whole point of a private tracker?

Not to pile on here, but this is not an instance of the birthday problem.

The birthday problem would kick in if we asked “what are the chances that any two of these N people know the same place, whatever it may be.”

But instead we’re discussing “what are the chances that one of these N people recognizes a specific place P.”

Edit: maybe I’ve missed your point actually — were you saying that there are many details in one image, and the chances of some player recognizing one of those details is an instance of the birthday problem?
