GAY SALE

Should've saved my $15 and just watched Yuri on Ice again.

Made the mistake of shelling out for a month of Peacock to watch the Winter Olympics. What they don't tell you:

1. paying extra for the ad-free package is a waste of money because it excludes Olympics content

2. replays of figure skating events (what I want to see) vanish forever after 24 hours

😮‍💨

No One, Including Our Furry Friends, Will Be Safer in Ring's Surveillance Nightmare | Electronic Frontier Foundation Amazon Ring’s Super Bowl ad offered a vision of our streets that should leave every person unsettled about the company’s goals for disintegrating our privacy in public.In the ad, disguised as a heartfelt effort to reunite the lost dogs of the country with their innocent owners, the company...

A neighbor in our building installed a Ring camera pointed at the building entryway, and now I can't go in or out of my own home without being logged by a corporate mass surveillance system. As far as I can tell, there's no legal recourse because it's a "public space". 😣

I swear, GitHub just gets worse and worse.

Haha thanks! I took it as an opportunity to learn Svelte and play with CSS animations more.

I've also been working on the same idea 😅

A screenshot of an desktop where the windows and their content look like the Windows Classic theme. There is a taskbar with the WINE logo on the Start button. There is a file explorer window with the WINE logo in its top-left; there is a window for what looks like MS Paint; there is a window titled “About Paint for ReactOS”; there is a window for xeyes; and there is a window for xterm. Many clues on screen suggest everything is running in WINE on top of Debian.

The future of the Linux desktop can look like this.

Let's build it!

DeArrow - A Browser Extension for Better Titles and Thumbnails - DeArrow DeArrow is a browser extension for replacing titles and thumbnails on YouTube with community created accurate versions. No more clickbait.

Stuff like this is why DeArrow exists: dearrow.ajay.app

Between this, Hyprland, SerenityOS, DHH's bigotry, etc, I've had this awful sinking feeling that we're being pushed out of open source like we are everywhere else right now. It 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘴. I don't know how to stop it besides just unapologetically continuing to be here, to do things.

It's been a while since I checked r/rust, let's drop in and see what's new!

...oh great, they're dogpiling a trans person who changed their name in their git repo and got doxed for it. I love 2025.

I updated the NixOS wiki with a code snippet for working around this: nixos.wiki/wiki/Tailsca...

I wonder how many systems out there are unintentionally exposing all ports to their Tailnets...

FR: Prevent tailscale from adding a rule to allow all traffic on tailscale0 · Issue #11717 · tailscale/tailscale What are you trying to do? I recently found out through #11033 that Tailscale now adds a rule to allow all traffic on tailscale0, bypassing firewalls such as ufw. Reading through the chain of issue...

WTF, why does @tailscale.com's Linux client intentionally bypass all firewall rules and allow all incoming traffic on the VPN interface by default? And why was this surprising behavior silently introduced in a bugfix update?

Snow!!!

I see, thanks!

Would it be possible to get the final image in a vector format?

Discovered this useful library recently. It's like a maintained, TypeScript-native Lodash.

cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

I struggled with this, too. It destroyed my love of writing and gave me intense anxiety around the writing process, something I'm still trying to undo. Wish I had, like, actual advice :< It sucks.

(In the style of the "Stop Doing Math" meme) STOP KILLING DRAGONS * DRAGONS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EVIL * THOUSANDS OF DRAGONS SLAIN yet NO REAL IMPROVEMENT in society * Want to improve someone's life anyway? We had a tool for that: It was called "DRAGON SNUGGLES" * "Why yes I'd love to harm and kill a giant majestic creature for merely existing" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what Dragon Slayers have been demanding your Respect for all this time (Three very poorly drawn dragons with 'X's in their eyes. The one on the left is more quadruped, laying down, the middle one is more biped, with an arrow stuck on it, the right one is a big quadruped with a tiny stick figure on top raising their sword and saying "I am the best!") "Hello I would like a dead dragon please" They have played us for absolute fools

Thanks to @lauraehall.bsky.social, @brianenigma.bsky.social, & @immersivearts.bsky.social for this unexpected flood of memories!

There are things I'd love to write about from that era. Like messaging people as characters on MSN over eBuddy from the web browser on my PSP, and having to come up with in-game reasons for going AFK when my parents came in to make sure I was asleep. I should dust off the old blog one of these days…

I can't believe forums.unfiction.com is up again after 8 years, even as an archive! I was 13 when I made my account and ran my first game back in 2009. I have a PhD now and a "real" job, but I miss telling stories with everyone who was there.

FirebaseAuth Invoking original failure callbacks after phone verification failure for [REDACTED] error - This app is not authorized to use Firebase Authentication. Please verify that the correct package name, SHA-1, and SHA-256 are configured in the Firebase Console. [ Invalid app info in play_integrity_token ]

TIL any apps using Firebase Auth for login won't work on rooted Android devices. It's not even to protect the apps, if this error is to be believed - it's the Firebase SDK protecting itself from apps that aren't paying for Auth!

Guess I gotta figure out how one bypasses Play Integrity in 2025...
