I had to listen to a guy talk about the fanfic he was writing for 4 hours. So anything but that I suppose.

That post is outstanding and is a wonderful writeup that highlights the danger of associating with a company as morally bankrupt as Meta.

There is concern that Threads will use embrace, extend, extinguish to depreciate the ActiviyPub protocol. Essentially, they adopt the open standard, expand on it with proprietary additions, then when everyone is using the modified standard they drop support for the open standard and now everyone has to play ball by their rules.

They’re pretty much the same. I think anarchist took Jolly Roger and expanded on it. Worth mentioning, don’t actually do any of the stuff in there. The chemistry is suspect and the tech stuff is laughably outdated.

I’ll accept the risk. I need the clicky

I’m torn and slightly confused. On one hand, good on them, I do enjoy some shitposting. On the other, the founder of NAFO is a nazi.

Edit: Also I went to Truth Social and thought it was weird that I couldn’t reject their cookies so I clicked in the link at the bottom for GDPR and it gave me a 404 lol.

I live in a very red part of Florida. They’ve all been pretty nice to me. Of course, I’m white, my baby is blonde haired and blue eyed, and I’m in the military. They usually get pretty surprised when I open my mouth and start spouting crazy commie stuff like Trans Rights are Human rights.

I worked with a guy that was a hard-core conservative, like just shy or real far-right talking points. Anyway he told me he doesn’t watch the news. Not that he only watches fox news, I mean he doesn’t watch any news at all. He gets his information from Facebook and tiktok

And it did. It started with coaxial. The fact that ethernet is now largely used in conjunction with UTP or STP doesn’t add much when talking about the Ethernet protocol itself.

To be pedantic: Ethernet is a protocol so mentioning the medium used outside of a historical context is kinda irrelevant.

A pass key is the private key in a private/public key pair. The private key is stored in the TPM on your device. The website contains the public key. When you use your “one password” you’re in effect giving your device permission to access the key storage in your TPM to fetch the private key to present it to the site.

What this means in practice is that if a website has a data breach they won’t have your hashed password, only your public key which… is public. It doesn’t and can’t do anything on its own. It needs the private key, which again only you have and the website doesn’t store, to do anything at all.

If you want to read more about it look into cryptographic key pairs. Pretty neat how they work.

Tankies gonna tank.

Not really. If they schedule oil changes every 6 months the mileage check is to see if they should also schedule like a transmission check so you don’t have to keep coming back

That there was some confusion whether it is a purple monster that eats people or a monster that only eats purple people.

The only podcast I listen to with any regularity is Knowledge Fight. Listening to a couple of dudes dunk on Alex Jones is cathartic.

Ehhh… Doctors have a hell of a lot of administrative paperwork for each patient they have to do. That’s where the actual time goes. At least for Emergency Department doctors. I can’t speak to private practice docs.
