ppl saying that members of oppressed groups shouldn't make fun of their oppressors because it alienates potential allies are just declaring that their allyship is conditional on nobody being mean to them ever. and tbh i don't think there's a way to dismantle oppressive hierarchies without being at least a little mean to those benefiting from them.
The Morbid Zoo made a video about the metaverse that i think works as a good companion piece to Folding Ideas' video about the same. I think where FI is really good at capturing how the specific incarnation of metaverses that happened during my lifetime where conceptual failures, tMZ is just fantastic at getting to the root cause of why anyone could've thought that bullshit was a good idea in the first place. like it's the diference between "text on a rewritable 2d surfece is just the maximally information-dense medium that we can invent right now" and "trying to make a medium that conveys maximum-reality rather then maximum information-density or maximum fitness-to-artistic-intent is a sign of this specific ideological failure". both analyses are important!

genuinely i think everyone perpetuating the smear campaign against patricia taxxon ought to never have a platform again

@nonfedimemes@wetdry.world insane thing to say to a demographic of people where one of the common defining experiences is not getting along very well with their parents

@lizzy this post alone would convince me to switch to ether gentoo or guix had i not accidentally did vendor lock-in to myself by way of being really autistic about the newsboat rss reader

@iro_miya like that woman who got a glowing magnet added to her clit
posts about the supposedly contradictory standards for when copyright law is or isn't enforced become trite as fuck when you notice that their is no contradiction since the law in question is enforced solely to the benefit of capitalists rather then any made-up bullshit like trying to punish "stealing" "ideas"
wag that thang ! (tail)
everything written about the security impacts of software dependency management immediately becomes trite the moment it was written unless it can answer the question of "what can we do about it that doesn't involve ether every maintainer ever burning out from having to reimplement the whole pie or shipping the pie in the standard library?". i super do not want to read the eleventh snarky blog post this week that points out that untrusted dependencies are bad without giving any suggestions for how to unfuck the situation. i'm seriously considering just writing off language-specific package managers entirely in favor of having a big distribution that can audit new versions of shit.
the person who made gnu would like to remind you to mention gnu more often whenever you mention the more famous invention of the guy he partnered with
if you subvert or deconstruct something without understanding what makes it compelling then your subversion/deconstruction will be ass. arguably the work that you produce might be compelling enough on its own to overcome this flaw (I have been told that Doki Doki Literature Club achieves this) but the subversive element will be ass.
i think every video essay script that has a section where the author talks about how bored or upset the viewer is could be made better by taking it out. no matter the length. just delete it! it's quick, easy, and frees up time you could use to say something that will contribute something to the world!

@nyanbinary that's wild to think about - why is that even part of their pipeline?
Replying to
@nyanbinary i feel like this could be thwarted pretty easily by the security cameras just not processing the QR codes or not sending any requests? like i get why this sort of thing would work if you where targeting smartphones since they usually load the website in order to give you more info in the camera app but if the security cameras don't do that then i'm not sure why this would work. I might just not understand how QR codes work.

@koyo@mk.moth.zone for some reason the first thing i thought about when i read this was a ted talk presented by a mouse and that's delightful so i wanted to share that idea with you
Replying to
@kimapr@ublog.kimapr.net i guess there is a flaw in where he doesn’t properly disambiguate between “the problem is that they’re doing security stuff very wrong for no reason” and “the problem is that all your chats are pwnd”. i was coming at this situation from the perspective that doing security stuff sub-optimally is just bad no matter what, so the gravitas seemed appropriate.

@Gargron@mastodon.social and it's really cool how the fediverse scales by having admins create their own servers instead of having one big centralized server. that way, the costs to run individual instances can be kept below the point where they would be desperate enough to try hooking up with a VC! boy, it sure would be silly for anyone to try and scale their individual instance like crazy. i sure do hope that no instance, especially not a developer's dogfooding instance, focuses too hard on getting new users in spite of all this.
they made another star wars?

@kimapr@ublog.kimapr.net what is racket then?
all you need to do to make a good story is have compelling themes and then write a good story
Replying to
@kimapr@ublog.kimapr.net okay but even if that’s true (which i’m not convinced of), having a track record of writing security libraries with known hypothetical security flaws and not addressing them because you don’t think they matter isn’t very good. they only have to be wrong about the impact of a known flaw once, and they could easily prevent having to be right 100% of the time by fixing flaws when they are found rather then not doing that.

@cobra the process of interrogating an object to glean insight from its form can be applied regardless of if the object had any particular meaning encoded into its form when being created. i won't contest that this process is much easier and more coherent when some meaning is encoded on purpose, but that doesn't change the fact that it could be applied to objects which do not.
