In our case, it was roleplay rather than draw but definitely very relatable.

Definitely an extreme example, but within the last week I had cottage cheese that had a date on the label of 2024. It was kept in a cold part of the fridge the whole time and was not opened until I had it.

Not only was it still good, it was outright the best-tasting cottage cheese I’ve had.

My first thought was something like the RC2014? It uses a z80 (an 8-bit processor that was still in production until very recently iirc) as the processor of choice and I have seen a community for the thing!

They also have a Mastodon presence. That’s actually how I first heard of them!

Ah yeah, this person really isn’t impersonating me. They just kinda took over my account and happened to have the same legal name as me so yeah

For context, my legal name (first and last!) is very rare (as in I might be the only one) in the US (where I live), but is very common in a specific country in Europe.

I made my Facebook account when I first entered high school, and I was very security illiterate at the time. So I used the same password everywhere. In that mean time, a security thing happened and people’s Facebook passwords got leaked. A couple years later, I found that someone with my legal name in said European country took it over.

Thankfully this person didn’t try to take over any of my other accounts, wasn’t pretending to be me and was just posting about their life on what was my account, and by the time I was making online purchases, I was fairly educated in password security as well as pretty anti-Facebook because of hearing about shady anti-privacy things they were doing.

Can see how that’d be an absolute nightmare scenario for many others though!

Eh, I hardly used it and the way I look at it, Facebook is getting fed bad information about me.

I view it as passively poisoning their dataset for the past more than ten years 😂

Another reason to be happy that my Facebook account got stolen forever ago.

The article actually mentioned another article on the same site that Meta refused to take down a post (not an ad from which Meta gets directly paid! a post!) that advocated for violence against Muslims!

Which is to say that an ad for such a play would not only be allowed, but probably be hard to avoid on such platforms. 🙃

I should watch the whole presentation when I can.

If OpenBSD were to do this, OpenBSD would be the perfect server operating system for self-hosting internet-facing services.

We’re doing well. We’re in the process of switching away from more modern tech and towards older software.

We’re a bit late but in addition to what Of the Air said, we also recommend the reading list of the Egg Carton Study Guide , which is basically a list of good resources surrounding the matter!

Read my post. I said “ruin a good thing” which very much is referring to that.

Vibe-coders (actually probably will steal “slop kiddies”) ruin a good thing yet again.

I turn to retrocomputing to get away from it all because I would expect people in that world to generally agree this is horrible and there’s somehow vibe-coding there too. I’m so tired of this.
