I'm preaching to the choir here. But it seems that @pluralistic@mamot.fr 's message is getting more traction.

Oh, that's a relief. I can now sync my contacts with OpenAI, so they can spam my friends.. er, i mean. so i can find my friends on open ai, which is a completely normal thing i've wanted to do... never.

Hey @eff@mastodon.social

Do you have any statements around the recent Discord age verification and "teen by default" approach?

Also, any recommendations on alternatives to discord that arent only more privacy aware, but also likely to actually be usable for folks outside of the inner nerd-rings?

So my daughter (mid-teen) leans over to me while I was driving her to her orthodontist appointment this evening, to show me this "new band she found that she thought I would like".

It's KMFDM.

I'm so proud of her.

I have been fighting this odd SMB drop-out problem on my Synology nas on my home network for months. Seemed to start after a DSM update, but as usual, there was no way to be sure. Ive spent probably clsoe to a year off and on troubleshooting this thing, im almost certain its some bug that was introduced in the synology, but could never prove it, could never find others with the same problem.

a week or two ago, we had a power outage, and i had to shut down all of my home lab infrastructure, and as it was coming back up i decided to update some things since they were down anyway. including the DSM.

Problem seems to be gone.

I hate these sort of problems, but im glad it seems to be fixed.

"The US military has killed at least 128 people suspected of drug trafficking to date."

Heard this on the news today. Someone help me identify the problem with that statement.

You know.. I keep thinking that he couldnt possibly do something even more shocking as the US president. and then....

When he ran in 2016, i assumed it was a publicity stunt, a troll. I;m not sure that i've been convinced otherwise since.

The number of times i've re-bought a USB TTL serial device, because the one i SWEAR I STILL HAVE has been misplaced (likely because its been years since i used it last, I just dont manually flash that often) is shameful.

That is all.

Did a bunch of work to my daily news podcast downloader. It had started failing because apparently podcast hosting providers don't like the user agent that python-requests uses by default, so i had to figure out how to set that in my script. re-worked the flow of the script so that the different functions were actually written in functions. and added some error checking, and history! Now it will not re-download a show that its downloaded in the past (because I don't care about yesterdays news, i just want todays).

It's still public, here, if anyone would like to steal it for their own use:
https://git.undrground.org/gangrif/dailynews

Not gonna lie, i had gemini help me with some of the code. I know enough python to be dangerous, so when i get into things like... setting a user agent in urllib.. i need a hand. lol.

I heard about this yesterday on Smerconish. It's a movement suggesting we should unsubscribe from several tech giants (which isnt exactly unpopular in some circles here) but not for our privacy, or their shady business practices, but rather because of their relations with #ice

The idea is the if we can impact these companies bottom line, their leadership has the ear of the president, and they may influence him to change direction.

I'm on the fence as to how effective this might be, but i decided its worth sharing here, for folks to decide for themselves.

I called into the show after the interview, and suggested @pluralistic@mamot.fr 's book. ;) Hoping it turns into an interview or something.
