I’m fine paying what I pay, but I reserve the right to question the quality of services they pay for.

Carve the compiled objects onto bricks and mail them to Richard Stallman, taunting him through a bullhorn as you do so.

I have nothing against Stallman, but I love this.

I suspect a big part is tax and investment law.

A bunch of poors (like me!) who band together won’t have much capital to buy inventory or equipment. I doubt banks and investors would lend to the bunch of poors, since they have a non-standard decision making structure.

That’s gonna make it hella hard to get started.

refactor? nah. It works. I’m done.

What was once nerd is nerd no longer, but as the wheel turns, what was nerd will be next once again.

I’m not 30-40 years old!

Google’s Deep Research AI produces similar output. I’m not saying the user definitely did that, I’m saying they could have used AI for that.

We’re early adopters. By definition: we’re nerds.

Before Tilde and friends, that’s what I use. I prefer having a drop-down with the same terminal session.

But that’s a handy default.

I really like having a hotkey bound to the terminal window, so I can pop open a terminal, check something, and return to what I was doing.

Here in Canada we’ve been trying to keep tabs on Trump’s tariff threats. At the start, our media was publishing headlines whenever posted about Canada/tariffs/etc. They seem to have given up on that (partially because Trump’s been distracted recently), but I think readers tuned out.

Instead we’re more focused on three current Canadian reaction, and the effects of whatever the current policies are. Tracking the day-to-day threats was almost information-free because Trump’s whims are so variable.

I think that strategy makes more sense: track the long-term story, without doing constant breaking news about something that’s likely to change soon.

how do you try to discern in real time what is misleading?

That’s really hard. Unless you’re in a position where your opinion will have an influence (ie, you’re a judge, cop, or protestor who can take part in the event), you might as well wait a couple of days for more information to come out.

We’ve done ourselves a massive disservice by subjecting everything to constant, immediate analysis. Most of the time, we can afford to wait and learn more.

This. There has been a huge investment in the tooling around JS. Using TypeScript, you get the benefit of that ecosystem with a decent language.

It isn’t perfect, but it’s perfectly cromulent.

Take a look at the global feed. Subscribe to what you like. Eventually you’ll have enough.

just one little drop

1. Read the global feed. There’s lots of content if you spread the net wide.

2. Block annoying posters and communities.

3. Be nice to other lemmites.

If you have different threat models for different data, then you should enumerate them and work through each.

First of all, figure out your threat model. What data are you trying to keep secret from Facebook? What will happen to you if Facebook gets that data? What lengths are reasonable to prevent that outcome?

Then figure out how to consistently prevent that data from leaking.

I don’t want Facebook knowing my address, name, age, and face - basically I don’t want to be doxxed. I’m not willing to go through the effort of hiding my IP, so I’m willing to give up on that, but the others are easy enough to lie about.

Always. I can only speak for myself and those I see around me.
