Yeah, everyone has to find their own way of organising, I guess. For me, there are too many different little projects that it would get messy throwing them all in one folder. And they’re so varied that I couldn’t think of one single “theme” or topic for most of them. Nothing I would remember a week later anyways.

Same, but by language, e.g. Development/Python.

Following a profile logged-out is impossible now

What do you mean? I can just open an Incognito tab and go to x.com/<username> and see all posts (without replies, though).

because they don’t run alts

I think you underestimate the dedication of some of those trolls. Also, most apps allow to easily switch between profiles with like 2 taps.

Of course, not. But closing and locking the door doesn’t prevent the person on the other side to still listen in on your conversations…

And it’s exactly like this now, if I understand the change correctly. They only removed the “you can’t see this post because the owner limits who can see it” thing. Blocked people still can’t reply.

Yep, that’s why I don’t get all this panicking about the Twitter change…

In closed systems like messengers, where you don’t see any content unless logged in, yes. There, it works brilliantly. But on Twitter, this is like cutting out something from a newspaper when there’s a news stand right next door.

Having a public (i.e. not locked) Twit𝕏 account and believing you can block single people is a bit stupid to begin with.

When screaming on a market square, you can’t demand for single people to “please not listen” to what you’re screaming.

Rather people have no idea how blocking on 𝕏 worked/works. You were ALWAYS able to see tweets from people that blocked you by simply logging out or using an alt account.

I don’t understand all this fuss about this simple change. He only removes a useless feature that was never more than a minor inconvenience for those that got blocked.

If you don’t want people to see your tweets, lock your profile. This worked before and this still works just fine.

There was a discussion about this topic on Hacker News a few months ago:

One ex-Googler pointed out that due to the machine learning stuff and every new employee trying out the latest “AI” stuff on top of it, no human can understand and thus debug the search engine properly anymore.

That’s what happens if you rely on 3rd party services that are very eager to please anyone that spells out DMC without even waiting for the A.

The fear of naked (intact) female bodies, i.e. censoring of even the slightest nudity, when at the same time, it’s totally fine to have minors play computer games where they can dissect other humans in great bloody detail.

Oh, and chocolate that tastes like somebody barfed into it during manufacturing.

There should still be the rather tame World Digital Brasil… but their Tinfoil server is down at the moment, it seems.

Kemie and Kina

I threw up a little…

The brown paper-bag thing with alcohol in public. I mean, everybody and their dog knows what’s in there, right?

And the fact that people ask if you need help if you decide to NOT take the car but instead walk the 5 minutes to somewhere.

Also: Microwave. Apparently, lots of people heat their water in the microwave. (See pinned comment here.)

tmux is a modern screen replacement.

If your distro uses apt, install aptitude and enjoy a nice TUI for all your package management needs…

Yep, my DS415+ is still going strong and fell out of DSM support, so I’m stuck with DSM7.1. However, people successfully converted their xx15+ to a xx17+ model and were able to update to DSM7.2. So there’s no technical reason to not support these older systems.

Also, I had a very bad experience with Synology support when the C2000 bug hit my DS415+. Once this thing dies, I’ll definitely won’t get another Synology.

Is this a new thing? AFAIK, Synology used to be open source, but then went closed source several years ago. Which is, when the Xpenology project was born.
