Person: *makes a remark*
Me: "What?"
Person: "It's a joke."
Me: "What is? I don't understand."
Person: "Oh..."
Person: *just leaves*
Me: "Well, I still don't get the joke, but now I feel bad too."

I wish this wasn't such a regular occurrence for me.

@neia

I know what you're referring to, but I don't think that's the case here.

I think for this, it's more my neurodivergence at play. Unfortunately, sometimes I just need things spelled out for me. And I think people interpret my asking for clarification as being dismissive or rude, or something. But I don't intend it that way. I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad. I just really don't understand and want to be involved...

Which ironically often makes me feel even more left out. ^^;

Yeah :/ Even if the person said "It's clear in my head but I'm having trouble getting it into words" that would be better, I suspect

A true story: at one point Microsoft was selling four entirely unrelated products all pronounced "link". Microsoft Link, Linq, Lynq and Lync.

You'd think whoever let that happen would have lost their job, but years later as we were struggling to fix a Teams interop problem in Firefox, we discovered that the real problem was that MS had _two unrelated products called Microsoft Teams_ who never talked to each other.

Well good news everyone, that guy got promoted:

Two Teams teams, not acting as a single team. Of course.
in reply to Dan Scott

@dbs Like so much these days, if I wrote it as satirical fiction people would agree that no, that's a little much.
in reply to mhoye

Not to take away from the amusement but LINQ wasn't "sold" nor was it a product, it was a technology included in .NET.

Microsoft really do have a naming problem though. I used to work at Xbox and I couldn't tell you how all the Xbox console names relate to each other. Unlike PlayStation where any Joe can understand that.



Axon’s Draft One, which produces AI-generated police reports, purports to cut in half the amount of time officers spend writing police reports. But a recent police agency’s decision to discontinue use of the software and a new scientific study cast doubt on those assertions. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/anch

in reply to Electronic Frontier Foundation

I mean, police reports are between 40 and 100% Lies By Volume; show me a police officer who files a proper, truthful, and complete report, and I’ll show you a police officer who’s unemployed.

I live in the UK and I'm in the process of building a website about vintage buses, a harmless subject, you'd think. But what if my opinions, or comments made by my readers fall foul of these unclear rules? The UK's freedom of speech is being quickly (not slowly) eroded.

I think I'll just build my website offline for now and just post on Mastodon, until Mastodon faces the same issues as been suggested regarding content by UK users.

Let's hope that it never comes to that.

in reply to Vintage Buses

@vintagebuses
Online speech went the moment the law was passed. Mastodon is the least safe from the law too, as there's no big lobbyist to help us. I'm starting to think if they're going to make us criminals just for talking to each other (the law talks about groupchats and email too), we might be better off just accepting it and talking via Tor anyway, sadly...
@openrightsgroup


The “save page” button in browsers has been broken forever, and it’s easily fixable.

Don’t just save the source. Everything is scripted and will not work.

Instead take a snapshot of the DOM tree, and Base64 encode images. Leave Script and frame elements out. Inline stylesheets. Carbon frozen copy of the state the page was in in one standalone HTML file.

I scripted a console command to do this in 3 hours. It could save the front page of Google.

I may put that in a Gist if people are interested.

in reply to ducky

Another Firefox extension that does this is addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef


Which is not to say that options aren't good to have! So by all means please do publish it somewhere.

Trump has been asking #Ukraine for mineral rights in exchange for aid, but extracting those minerals will require new infrastructure, new roads, more processing technology, investment, technical expertise, and, above all, an end to Russia’s invasion.

[ It's decided, OPNsense is currently installing over pfSense! ]

So my Intel N100 quad core with 16Gb ram and a 256GB NVME drive and 4 x 2.5Gb ethernet ports has arrived with pfSense preinstalled but I'm thinking I'd be better off with #OPNsense installed instead?

No I haven't written anything. Basically just wanted to be more FreeBSD friendly.

If the republicans had anything significant to say about the decline of the stock market, they surely wouldn't use "tubby's" voice. I doubt the man can even spell stock market.




Migrants detained in Panama expressed fear of returning to their countries.

“They will execute me without hesitation,” one texted.

“I am LGBT. My country harass these people. I cannot live a normal life in my country,” said another.

By now it should be clear to all refugees (for poverty or persecution) that the U.S. is no longer "the land of the free" but the "home of the Donald Trump ass lickers", who preach anyone who has no money is a criminal (most real criminals have lots of money).

Europe is no alternative: simply to many refugees coming, no place to stay, no jobs. Also Europe has a strict policy: any employer who hires illegal immigrants pays a large fine. Hospitals will not be payed for treating you.
