I swear by the end of the summer I will learn to power slide on a longboard or die trying


I love how international standards create reliable guarantees of interoperability between different items created in different countries with different languages. For instance, I recently ordered a specific piece of technical equipment and despite the fact that the listing was most likely not written by someone for whom English is their first language, it was easy enough to see that it clearly supported ISO whatever, so it would definitely work with my existing system based on that same standard. Easy to order long distance and wait for it to be loaded onto a container ship and travel across the Pacific Ocean sight unseen, just based on a spec list. When it arrives with literally zero label, documentation, marking, or in fact any text at all, I can just hook it up and oh come the heck on it doesn't even support ISO whatever, only a couple of the related similar standards also listed in the specs? What the heck, seriously? Ugh, time to start over I guess.

Same in the software side. I write code to download data from a couple of dozen sites all supposedly compliant with the same international standards. My code is full of "if-then" statements to handle how different sites implement the standards in different ways. None of which is documented, of course.

so called "vocal stim collection" actually impossible to quote due to heavy reliance on sound effects

Spotify rips off artists, pays Joe Rogan to produce his propaganda, and distributes Andrew Tate lessons on how to traffic women.

Are you supporting this? I'm not paying them to do this.

@Gargron so what streaming service is good to Artists and not entangled in horrible politics? I heard Apple Music is great to artists but I increasingly dislike Apple‘s politics. Any recommendations?

May 17, 2006 2 a.m. - just hours before the EFF and AT&T whistleblower Mark Klein's first hearing on their lawsuit vs AT&T for helping the NSA run a massive internet spying operation

Klein's evidence was under seal. Only a few had seen it. The NYT & LA Times were too scared to publish.

I had gotten a hold of them. Just a freelancer. Wired under EIC Evan Hansen agreed to publish everything.

2 a.m., we published.

Room 641a was public.

AT&T's lawyers death stares were glorious.

RIP Mark Klein

What the heck is malicious about landley.net?

Bizarro. Hope it's just a typo in the list rather than malicious.

Phoenix Park is a park with large grassland areas and tree-lined roads outside of Dublin�s busy downtown area. The name comes from the Irish word fhionnuisce = clear or still water. How did you like the park? #Dublin #Ireland backpackandsnorkel.com/Ireland…



One of the fun things about having multiple types of Fediverse accounts is getting to see common scams, etc. from multiple angles. The "Nicole the Fediverse Chick" spammer from Mastodon and Friendica started hitting the Lemmy / PieFed end of the Fediverse starting roughly a week ago.

They responded by making a forum dedicated to her stuff. feddit.org/c/nicole






Got my Hable One replacement today.
i had a bit of an argument with @Blobsta about the positioning of the dots, and why one would want to flip them.
I guess because I don't mind having them in either position really, so I can't decide which I like best.
He says its personal preference, which is true of course, but I guess I don't have one, I may never pick one and switch between the modes for fun.

la policía deja a manera de provocación un patrullero sin custodia y con las puertas abiertas, quien lo incendia escapa de los manifestantes y se refugia con las fuerzas de gendarmeria quines hablan con el y le dan agua, un periodista de crónica ya había advertido que la mochila de ese "manifestante" era de merendaría o muy parecida.
