In a matter of 3 days, I had: The pto clutch go on my jd 6195r tractor. The clutch on my Vermeer baler go. The back window spontaneous explode on my dodge 1500 while it was parked in my driveway in the scorching heat. The steering seize on my way to Lloydminster on my F150 after I just had the rack and pinion replaced. I think I should avoid everything mechanical for a few days....

Recent problems with changes on the X platform Search broke after they re wrote a lot of the codebase (might be a feature) Post interactions no longer visible from the app GIF source changed to a much less cool one

@TheBuckYouWill It is the "gatorade for the crops" of idiocracy. The mitigations of idiots exacerbate the problem.

A little more than a decade ago, inspired by the bird sounds around me, while I took pictures of a mother Robin taking care of her fledgling fresh out of the nest... I went straight back to the keyboard and improved off of the vibe of the ambience. soundcloud.com/deltomix/first…

@prestonjbyrne This is *exactly* the correct response to the control-freak neostasi being implmeneted in the EU, UK and Canada. If other major tech companies reacted similarily, (and in the best interests of their users) all of this regulatory fascism would fail as it should.

Yes, we have priced that in. If the UK wants to censor the Internet, it may do so by censoring its own people and its own ISPs, and owning the political costs of that decision. It will not be doing so by censoring my client. x.com/AEthelswin/sta…

Hi, I'm their lawyer. It will be a cold day in Hell before my client pays that fine. Ofcom won't be collecting it unless they're prepared to land ground troops in America, overthrow our government, and rescind our constitutional order by force. Hope that helps!

Looking to speak to a legal expert on the Online Safety Act urgently (ideally this morning) on the looming 4Chan/Ofcom fine deadline and what happens next. Please email nicole.wootton-cane@independent.co.uk if you can help. Thank you!

Open source AI is not a hobby. It's the only way out. Centralized AI means one gatekeeper between you and reality. At that point, you don't use the machine. It uses you.

No, it is not about the language, it is about forcing implementation of something that adds overhead and complexity without benefit. THAT is what is 'silly'. Given that, the motivation for mutation of an existing project in such a way is not only silly but suspect. If rust coded Git functionality is a goal - make a new project, give it a distinct name, demonstrate its benefit.

@LundukeJournal This is silly. It's just a language. Designers need to evaluate a balance between performance and maintenance. Absolutely, you can probably do better using perl for some things, but good luck in 2026 finding people who studied/used perl today instead of back in the day.

Git. Without the Rust. Awesome. Two days ago, the Git team released Git 2.55. A key "feature" of that new release being the incremental, forced adoption of the Rust programming language and toolchain for building Git. Today, the "Libre-WD40" project (because WD40 removes rust), has released Git 2.55.0... "WD-40 flavor". With two simple changes: - Rust removed. - Default branch changed to "master". This is *exactly* how Open Source is supposed to work. The developer of a project does something that some people don't want, so another developer forks it and gets rid of the problem. github.com/Libre-WD-40/gi…

It makes one wonder how many other defining elements of our history have been 'diluted' away from our collective awareness, the concomitant loss of any meaningful collective identity as a nation. The performative virtue signal of "multiculture" manifesting the very entropy that reduces us into a vacuous, insipid monoculture.

The proper response for compliance is to vacate jurisdictions imposing such laws. If instead the response is implementation of such architecture, then they can't be trusted anywhere, and users should abandon their service. Why submit your data, attention, or trust to a service prone to act against your interest?

After quietly dropping Persona following a breach, Discord partners with Incode to process your data during verification 🫥 Discord says Incode processes your biometric data on-device without storing it server-side. But that's exactly what they said about Persona until researchers found nearly 2,500 files sitting exposed on a government-connected server in February. And this is the same platform that had 70,000 government ID photos exposed in a data breach just last October. Their CTO says this is legally required in countries like the UK and that more vendor options are coming. That's fair. But a platform asking for your face and your ID, with that track record? Would you still trust it?

Discord is beginning to implement Incode for age verification, a move that is already sparking serious privacy concerns among users. While Discord claims that Incode processes biometric data locally via on-device AI without permanent server-side logging, sharing sensitive IDs and selfies with any third-party vendor remains a massive red flag for many. Given Incode's controversial history with platforms like TikTok, where the vendor was heavily criticized for long retention periods and storing biometric data server-side, users who expect strict privacy are highly skeptical about handing over their biometrics, regardless of Discord's current technology claims.

The correct outcome for any company doing this is to FAIL. I don't care why they are doing it, I don't care if the "government made them do it", I don't care "how" they are doing it. The only solution is consequence, and our power to ensure that rests with our choice. We managed fine - until quite recently - without them and can easily do so going forward. Like the service, dislike it, - doesn't matter. It is about fundamental self respect at this point; No, I will not take a selfie, No, I will not tilt my head to the right, No, I am not your trained property, No, you cannot be trusted with my data, No, you deserve neither my attention, nor my business. If a line is not drawn now, (with all of them not just Discord) we stand to loose that choice. The only winning move is not to play.

Discord has started rolling out Incode for age verification. The system requires users to submit a government-issued ID and a selfie to confirm their age. According to Discord, Incode processes biometric data locally on the user’s device using on-device AI and does not permanently store that biometric data on its servers. Even so, the process requires users to share sensitive personal information with a third-party company. Via:@WumpusCentral

How many people who had a career developing technology also had one of these kits from Radio Shack as a kid? I certainly did. There were many variants, but I remember having this specific one. I wonder what the equivalent is these days.
