@hailey ... old linux distros never die ... just like windows ones apparently don't either ... :)

@ifixcoinops@retro.social lots of folk use client-side JavaScript to do form validation and I get that, but if I can still submit to the form back-end directly with curl, what then? hopefully the back-end _also_ does validation otherwise at some point you will meet everyone's little friend johnny drop tables ...

@ifixcoinops@retro.social fsck that noise - my website is still using tables for page layout ...

@piepants@famichiki.jp @bonzoesc@m.bonzoesc.net @rebane2001@infosec.exchange you don't often see them in the wild these days and this one is clearly injured ... it was probably kicked out of the pack and will likely be picked off by scavengers ... it's a shame, but we must let Nature take its course ...

@ifixcoinops@retro.social ... I may be triggered, sorry ...

@fesshole now ... is the 'fesser nominating themselves as the buffoon or the other guy?

@funkula@goblin.camp @lina@ohai.social was thinking exactly this also ... :)

@Unixbigot @jpm suggest follow-up shots and toast all the kit we lost to barrel jack connector "standards" ...

@benno I have a friend on facebook that will utter this style of gnomic post at random moments, maybe they should compare notes ...

@fakemetrotrains ... at least May does actually have 31 days, so ... we cleared that bar ... :)

@gsuberland ... I love that this works even with our various date format clashes ... pi day wasn't so lucky although for us we approximate with July 22 ...

@catsalad@infosec.exchange curious to see if you can tell how many people leant into the pragmatic rather than literal understanding of the request and selected all of the options presented ...

@aeduna Mastodon complains if they're identical, so some creative punctuation was in order ...

@fullofmang @aeduna heheh ... man, I need to re-watch Red Dwarf ...

@aeduna ... I am only annoyed I can't select that more than once

@Unixbigot @jpm *clink!*

@vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de @nblr@chaos.social ... it was never about the practical answer ... :)

@DamienWise@aus.social @mike@social.chinwag.org after having eaten one, you need to _feel_ the micromorts accumulating ...

@futzle@old.mermaid.town interesting, will keep an eye out

@futzle@old.mermaid.town ... a good low quality fact submission?

@vga256@mastodon.tomodori.net ah nice - I saw the original War Stories version which was amazing, will definitely check this out, thanks!

@pjf ... clearly it's been going a while given the territory already claimed in the map ...

@monospace ... ok, I'll pay that ... :)

@aeduna @coolandnormal it was very good to see him in that, but I definitely had the same reaction ... :)

@futzle @aeduna @fullofmang ooh ... now that's something I haven't watched in a while - definitely re-watched Futurama more recently there

@cefiar@social.chinwag.org they do that ... :)

@joannaholman really loved the bell foundry - the two working the forge were hilarious

@CppGuy@infosec.space @fesshole@mastodon.social love Meute ...

@devopscats@toot.cat aah, interesting - I'd seen another article earlier which I'd not read but by the summary it was clearly talking about the same thing ...

@futzle @b0rk_reruns huh ... that could explain some things, actually ...

@bignose@social.chinwag.org thanks, it was an interesting read! I have forwarded it on to another (offline) friend who also enjoys Withnail & I ...

@jcoglan ... I'm wondering how the state diagram will look ...

@stilgherrian it's a refreshing style - I hope he goes well, even if I am in two minds over Eurovision for all the obvious reasons ...

@samwilson@wikis.world this! we are in the process of evaluating ML transcription in scanned documents and feature identification in photos and I've been arguing that no, we really need to be absolutely clear on where the information from any particular field was sourced and whether it was later reviewed ...

@Dss@infosec.exchange @ifixcoinops@retro.social exactly - same deal with apps vs database: you need the controls on at least the back-end if not both

@DavidNielsen@mastodon.social @fesshole@mastodon.social love Brass Against ...

@ElenLeFoll@fediscience.org something for you I think @minxdragon@wandering.shop

@antimnguyen ... the devil's soft-serve

@ptua@mastodon.social divorce really does change a person ...

@everything I look forward to the philosophical talk-down conversations we'll have with our smart weapons, as per Dark Star ...

@monospace ... when you stare at the cursor, the cursor stares back ...

@ifixcoinops@retro.social when core website functionality fails because the CDN doesn't deliver the JavaScript required to make a button work (I kid you not) on an otherwise static page and a simple web form then that tells me it's too damn complicated under the hood ...

@aeduna @fullofmang I remember that really only season 1-3 are good for the re-watch - beyond that and there are definite diminishing returns ...

@evacide dystopia is already here, it's just unevenly distributed (with apologies to the great dismal)

@mike@social.chinwag.org have been to several take-away joints over the years and the menu photographs never match the product ...

@stilgherrian plus it's very much a poke in the eye to all the Brexit fans ...

@daniel_bohrer @MicroSFF given playing pinball is what the ferryman does in his downtime when not taking folk across the river ... what would happen if you sponsored a two-player pinball game with him? would your trip be free?
