You’ll never guess the reason why this perfectly capable Netflix client is being sunset. It’s VHS.
VHS recorders, specifically. The PS3 supports AV (yellow, white, red) cable output, which does not have HDCP copy protection. There’s a retro trend happening to get Stranger Things on VHS and this puts an end to it.
WaPo laid off one of the journalists who won a 2022 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

This time out, featuring lots of books, cryptography, and open-source clothing.
Fantastic overview of the atmosphere and the power it affords people. This will be my go to piece for people going forward.

1994 - 2008 internet was a magnificent place. Minus the obvious cesspools, the internet was a wonderful portable library of arts, music, literature, and a bunch of kids who wanted to explore the world.
It wasn’t until we put Obama in office using 2008 Twitter that a certain demographic of hegemonic racists decided to use their blood wealth to ruin everything positive about this space, out of pure spite and jealousy. It’s been obvious and disgusting to watch.
Today is #openzfsmastery, a footnote:
"See, once upon a time the phone company printed huge books that listed everyone with a phone and their phone number. No, phone numbers didn’t change so often, because they were all landlines. But then the dinosaurs knocked the phone lines down, so we went cellular."
I have no idea why anyone

Every now and then I look at my logs and think, of the many, many reasons we don't need to worry about "the singularity", one is that an exponentially self-improving software agent probably wouldn't ask my webserver for the same file four times a second for days.
Paul Barham once - possibly apocryphally - told a grad student, "You can have a second computer once you’ve shown you know how to use the first one."
He works at Google now as I understand it, so he probably doesn't say that anymore.

Conversation this morning that, if I understood the details right, and my own understanding of how LLMs process data (reinforced by experience) is correct... epistemia is gonna bite a bunch of projects and companies so so hard in the the near future. It's gonna hurt, bad.

"Claude will never deliberately include advertising" is not the same thing as "Claude will deliberately work to reduce advertising content that it outputs"
which do you suppose they mean by "ad-free"?

Want to know something funny? People in Spain don't speak Spanish. Spanish is a New World language. In Spain they speak Castellano, Gallego, Basque, Catalán, and a bunch of other languages. If you show up in Spain speaking Spanish, they'll understand you but that's not what they speak.
Epstein wasn’t a “bad apple”
He didn’t “slip through the cracks”
He was the logical outcome of systems designed to protect rich, powerful men & discipline the rest.
Prisons didn’t stop him. Policing didn’t stop him. The state didn’t stop him.
He was protected & enabled by institutions of power.
This is what the patriarchy looks like when it wears a suit and has friends in high places.
We’ve seen this before.

This is my face when modern Go self-tests that you can run during toolchain build require roughly 5 GBytes of temporary disk space.
(For Go people, this is './all.bash" on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, git tip.)

Trying to decide if it is worth including diagrams and formulas in the empty space of my celestial sliderule (now with lunar timekeeping on the reverse side)
This makes me sad (been there). From Joe Menn at WaPo: "Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things."
케이토연구소 보고서에 따르면, 1994년부터 2023년까지 이민자는 세금 기여로 14조 5000억 달러의 재정 흑자를 창출했으며, 특히 서류 미비 이민자는 1조 7000억 달러의 재정 흑자를 만들었다. 이민자는 세금 납부 비중이 높고, 교육, 복지, 교정시설 등 정부 서비스 지출 비중은 낮다는 분석

I can't believe I've waited this long to create this stupid shell function:

I think the whole fedi could learn something by thinking about the experience of the #forkiverse. I need to go into these details eventually but they touch on all the culture stuff we've been struggling with forever.

@wjmaggoswilliam.maggos i got the full the #forkiverse experience and can tell you it's been amazing. As most, at least in the very first days, I thought this is what all of fedi is like. If we can, we will continue to partake in any positive development 🙌

With Encrypt It Already, we’re pushing on tech companies to deliver stronger privacy protections to their users by enabling and expanding the use of end-to-end encryption across their products or services. https://www.encryptitalready.org
We've teamed up with Automattic to fight link rot on the open web. Check out the new Internet Archive Wayback Machine Link Fixer for WordPress. The free plugin preserves pages, redirects broken links to archived versions, and helps ensure the web keeps its memory.
“It’s very important that websites have a memory," said Alexander Rose of Automattic. "When links go dead, in effect, the truth goes dead—especially in the age of AI,”

I know everything is overwhelming for a lot of folks but I have never, NEVER been in a moment in tech when so many people have *actually* been talking about people's need to learn and questioning the needs of their own minds. And that is really cool. It is a moment of flexibility to make new demands
