Texas: “We have to protect the kids by banning porn and sex ed!”

Also Texas:

When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take:

That makes it seem like Andy here just doubled down, but it’s way worse than that. The company released an official statement doubling down on Yen’s stance.

I love that you’re out here praising Trump for something that happened before he even enters office. Fucking talk about “mental olympics” lmao

I am a bit worried by the apparent knowledge of the dev. Things like relying on the Firefox extension store to host a piracy tool and not understanding that you only need a hotlink to a file ending in .user.js to install with tampermonkey concern me.

Edit: Not saying it’s malicious, it’s actually a very simple script, it’s just that these things give me pause.

Looks super cool. Too bad they don’t have a way to add custom SearX instances other than modifying and building the extension yourself.

Bro thinks Russia’s left-wing.

Gonna be real, microblogging is never gonna really work with decentralization. It barely works when centralized. It’s isolating by nature, and only really amplifies the voices that are already the loudest, and the introduction of separate servers and federation delays only make those problems worse.

Bluesky’s moderation team is shit. Recently, their “head of trust and safety” went full Elongated Muskrat and tried to permanently ban a user who was tracking his public data.

I’ve looked at SDF before, and one thing has never changed: I have no idea what I’m looking at or how it works, and the more I look the more esoteric it seems.

Edit: Ah, that’s right, I dropped looking at SDF before because of how condescending their FAQs are.

You did, homie. That’s what’s shocking.

Bro really called someone else dumb after missing the point that hard.

Visits in person? Are anime companies sending out the fucking Yakuza now?

Not so much self-hosting related (though I do run a Jellyfin server on this PC), but within the past week, I was sure I was gonna have to reinstall my os (and probably take the opportunity to jump distros) because audio just would not work. Everything seemed to think it was fine. Even OBS was picking up the audio, but there was no output. Persisted through reboots and everything.

I have no idea what happened to cause it or fix it.

Who will think of the billionaire CEOs!?

It’s not actually a glitch, it’s Windows’s Fast Startup feature. It sort of hibernates the system rather than shutting it off. The running state of the system is partially retained and the drives aren’t cleanly unmounted. I don’t know anything about ntfsfix personally, but it probably cleans this up just fine. If you’re gonna be spending a large amount of time using Linux, however, you’re probably better off disabling fast startup altogether. If you only use Linux a little, though, I think holding shift while you shut down also forces a full shutdown.

As a Texan who currently lives in Texas, I would not mind if a thermonuclear weapon wiped us off the map. I would take one the betterment of humanity.

In other news, RFK has recommended extending this to eliminate both daylight and time.

Police say it appears to be a suicide. Probably true, honestly, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t driven to it.
