Crypto provides a great hat trick - screaming into the void, with most of the void sure you're speaking gibberish. Nonsense as a service. =)

This week, the EU voted to destroy the Internet as we know it, and on Sunday, Berliners are taking to the streets. Tell your friends! eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/wedn

It's been a year; did the memory leaks in the UI here ever get fixed?

Had a huddled conversation in the European Parliament with a colleague after the JURI vote trying to work out what would mean for federated/decentralized services like and . We’ll need to see the final text which may not be available until next week.

So folks, the #article13 and #linktax proposals will be going soon to the EU parlaiment, and if they pass they will become a serious problem for the #Fediverse:
* To automatically filter copyrighted materials, even badly, you need a way to reference those materials. Even our largest instances probably can't afford access!
* Our instances will not be able to afford licenses to link to news sites under the new #LinkTax rules.

Why, yes, I am flying with an IBM Model M2 keyboard and a handbuilt PS2-USB converter for it in my carryon. Doesn't everyone? 😉

(credit where credit due: converter running TMK firmware, with keymap modified to turn Caps Lock into "Windows" key. I just modified the keymap, compiled it, and soldered the thing together.)

Do any of my Mastodon audience know anything about plumbing? I've just had to shut off all the water in my apartment to stop a water heater leak; is this thing on the heater inlet a valve I can use to shut off just that and have my toilet back? mastodon.social/media/INoZNoCV

Unlike its better known cousin H. sapiens, the domesticated species H. esculentus has a dramatically enhanced sense of taste and a congenital absence of pain perception and survival instinct. Breeders raise them in pampered bands like the finest Japanese beef, and carefully train them for the climax of their lives.

Each year, they compete to be chosen, and a lucky few are allowed to carve and cook themselves for delighted and distinguished diners.

and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus snarkboost or absurdo or esoterica, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-shitposting ...

... were getting ready to perform a little of the old ingroup-outgroup, ingroup-outgroup on a weepy young devotchka they had there...
