I used to just block ads and leave it up to others to handle the Digital Panopticon. But now I ask myself, “Why am I giving these people oxygen? If they feel their creativity is best presented with a popup that is surrounded by a blur to force you to interact with it, and then when you make it go away there are header and footer ads, and every two paragraphs there is an ad… I can take a moment and find a different page.” I no longer link to pages that are ads interrupted with content. 🚫

I keep making satire of The Onion's series on gun safety because "software engineers" are not engineers and we keep fucking up society-critical things by using unsafe tools to make them. Want that series to end? Make the madness stop.

**Concerning CrowdStrike:** We are now at t+26h. Please compare how much we knew about the xz-attack after less than a day with what we know about the chain of events of giant outage yesterday. If something similar had been caused by an OSS component, we would see congress discussing a ban on open software in critical infrastructure already.

OMFG newspapers are quoting this asinine Twitter thread as analysis. Fuck me. Why have I ever had imposter syndrome when guys like this get hired at Google?

Also, quick note for crowdstrike execs: everyone can see you looking over at that bus, considering your options, limbering up your throwing arm... Just a note that the people you probably want to hire are watching reeeally closely how you're going to handle this, and are taking notes. The shareholders may be into human sacrifices, but the people you need to run your business aren't. Choose wisely.

No one is getting fired over this, right? Correct. HR systems are down too.

@ticky@queer.party Don't shorten links. Links were not meant to be shortened. They have played us for absolute fools.

I once ran my own personal URL shortener but eventually killed it because it wasn't that useful, but I kept the links working, and in fact they still work _to this day_ because I converted them from a dynamic PHP web application to a little list of nginx URL redirects. Google have comparatively infinite budget and can't figure out how to be a respectful web citizen. https://social.kernel.org/objects/39125e2b-0997-4c90-86f9-b16229bf4b52

Happy Y2K everyone!

Good luck to the Lionesses men's team this evening #EURO2024

It's interesting that people keep talking about the Trump incident as a "shocking act" when it really wasn't shocking at all if you've been paying attention to American gun violence and the Republicans' constant calls for political violence and death threats against Democratic politicians and journalists (though these are mainly targeting female, Black and queer journalists and a lot of the targets are women in politics, so maybe straight White male journalists aren't being subjected to nearly as much of this and just don't believe their colleagues). I wish one journalist would just honestly say 'in a not unexpected act of political violence in our landscape of constant gun violence" or something that acknowledged reality. This kind of gun violence is now terribly mundane in the US and Trump and the GOP helped make it mundane.
