| schestowitz | Since 2016, following someone on Twitter has been an unexpectedly complicated affair. What was previously a reverse-chronological feed of every tweet, picture, gif, threat, misguided political opinion, or dad joke became algorithm-driven chaos designed to steer you toward tweets that would maximize engagement. Features like “Tweets you may have missed” and random tweets liked by another account you follow would show up in the | Jul 09 01:19 |
| schestowitz | stream. | Jul 09 01:19 |

| schestowitz | It wasn’t an uncommon move at the time—Facebook and even Instagram shifted from their once-orderly ways. The algorithms had taken over social media, Skynet style. | Jul 09 01:19 |
| schestowitz | Now, in 2018, Twitter is letting users get back to a purely chronological timeline without all of the extra stuff and reorganization injected into it. | Jul 09 01:19 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Well, isSandboxed would indicate that you're on IE 7 or higher on at least Windows Vista. | Jul 09 01:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Without sandboxing, you're definitely either on XP or the user has manually disabled Protected Mode IE. | Jul 09 01:58 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Unless you're going to be a doctor or something, just go get a job. | Jul 09 02:50 |
| kingoffrance | yeah i dont disagree | Jul 09 02:50 |
| kingoffrance | just the imagery i suppose | Jul 09 02:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Otherwise 4/5 end up with more student loans than they can ever pay back and the government hunting them down with the modernized Fugitive Slave Act. | Jul 09 02:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | These universities are like a siren calling you to crash on the rocks, and they go after people who are like 18 and know nothing about anything except that they're being lied to about how important college is, when in most cases, it isn't. | Jul 09 02:52 |
| kingoffrance | well i think its also | Jul 09 02:52 |
| kingoffrance | education pre-college is deliberately dumbed down | Jul 09 02:52 |
| kingoffrance | in the expectation | Jul 09 02:52 |
| kingoffrance | if you want a real education | Jul 09 02:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When they get done with these people, they have $50,000 in student loans racking up 6% interest and they can't get rid of it, and they're flipping hamburgers. | Jul 09 02:52 |
| kingoffrance | go to a real college, etc. | Jul 09 02:52 |
| kingoffrance | i mean, i think it starts much earlier | Jul 09 02:52 |
| kingoffrance | like with the expectation everyone needs a 4 year or whatever | Jul 09 02:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, but everyone goes and studies something entirely pointless. | Jul 09 02:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like, Walmart's Electronics department has a lot of psychologists and English majors. | Jul 09 02:53 |
| kingoffrance | the high schools etc. seem to try less hard...because you will get that stuff later theoretically | Jul 09 02:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When I need help getting a TV out to my car, I'll let them know. | Jul 09 02:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's just a lot of people around and nothing for them, and god forbid (literally if you're a Catholic) you put a helmet on that soldier. | Jul 09 02:54 |
| kingoffrance | or put, another way | Jul 09 02:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a lot of things wrong with sex. Not so much having it as women weaponizing it against men and men being so dumb they wonder how they're working two jobs to pay child support. | Jul 09 02:55 |
| kingoffrance | there are advanced hs classes...to get you college credit | Jul 09 02:55 |
| kingoffrance | i.e. that seems to be the only reason they exist | Jul 09 02:56 |
| kingoffrance | to transfer to a real school | Jul 09 02:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think that the way we disarm the "nasty womyn" is to go find it somewhere else or porn or sex robots or something. | Jul 09 02:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then when they lose that power they'll realize what they've done. | Jul 09 02:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My favorite Rick & Morty is a trick question. They're all my favorite. | Jul 09 02:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The one with the Gazorpozorp planet was a great commentary though. | Jul 09 02:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They come across a planet where the men are constantly at war with each other while the women keep the species going by living in obscene luxury and spending all day complimenting on each other's clothing while they dump sex robots that can get pregnant down on top of the men. | Jul 09 02:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then if it's a boy, they toss it back and if it's a girl, they keep it. | Jul 09 03:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The relationship my in laws have is kind of, well, beyond fucked up. | Jul 09 03:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She's trapped her husband with her by forging his name on a bunch of credit cards and then maxing them all out. | Jul 09 03:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She thought she was going to get another 18 years where he was stuck with her by not taking her pill, but she had a miscarriage. | Jul 09 03:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So in a few years the kids will have both aged out and then I think her husband will be the one who files for divorce. | Jul 09 03:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Never underestimate the power of people who should financially be very well off to sabotage themselves and have nothing but a pile of debt anyway. | Jul 09 03:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They wouldn't know frugality if it bit them on the ass. | Jul 09 03:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I spend $7 a month on coffee. | Jul 09 03:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've worn the same cheap clothes for several years. Even when they're starting to get holes in them. | Jul 09 03:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I keep my phones and laptops until it won't boot up anymore and then I go see what's on sale. | Jul 09 03:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Usually fixing them a time or two along the way. | Jul 09 03:04 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The reason I went under was because my ex had me slapped with criminal charges and then ran off with my car. So, forcing me to go into debt to defend myself until I couldn't anymore, and by that time I'll be goddamned if he's going to drive a car I'm responsible for. | Jul 09 03:06 |
| kingoffrance | yes, easy come, easy go | Jul 09 03:07 |
| kingoffrance | thats nto a value judgement on ppl | Jul 09 03:07 |
| kingoffrance | its ppl looking for fast cash seem to blow it | Jul 09 03:07 |
| kingoffrance | because they think its so easy | Jul 09 03:07 |
| kingoffrance | who cares | Jul 09 03:07 |

| kingoffrance | yeah, its kind of bs, if you are thrifty, someone getting you in debt is annoying, but its just a chance to do what you normally do, doesnt screw them up as much as the other person thinks | Jul 09 03:16 |
| kingoffrance | i guess i consider it more a reflection of the person who thinks it will "destroy" you or whatever | Jul 09 03:17 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Fedora is going to switch to systemd-resolved in 33. They comment that Ubuntu made the switch 3 years ago. Yes, yes, and that's why they were vulnerable to the CVEs where a DNS server could launch an attack with remote code execution on an Ubuntu system, and Fedora was not. Yeah, let's switch to that. | Jul 09 19:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The really funny thing about letting Ubuntu grab resolved 3 years ago is that they let their own "enterprise" (and desktop) users go splat for a change with all the truly horrendous problems.I think that should probably be what happens with more components. | Jul 09 19:11 |

| XRevan86 | scientes: Are you in float world? | Jul 09 21:56 |
| scientes | javascript | Jul 09 21:56 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: ah, I think I know why | Jul 09 21:57 |
| scientes | OC | Jul 09 21:57 |
| scientes | but still | Jul 09 21:57 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: OC? | Jul 09 21:58 |
| scientes | of course | Jul 09 21:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Someone broke into my Disney account. | Jul 09 21:58 |
| XRevan86 | I thought that maybe it's NaN or Infinity and javascript thinks those are equal being shit and all | Jul 09 21:58 |
| scientes | that you can just write as many digits as you want is the funny thing | Jul 09 21:59 |
| scientes | shows how unpolished JS is | Jul 09 21:59 |
| XRevan86 | but no, it just silently lowers overflowed numbers to the max | Jul 09 21:59 |
| scientes | not true | Jul 09 21:59 |
| XRevan86 | or not? | Jul 09 22:00 |

| scientes | false | Jul 09 22:00 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Okay, spill | Jul 09 22:00 |
| XRevan86 | what the heck | Jul 09 22:00 |
| scientes | (that isn't an extra number) | Jul 09 22:00 |
| scientes | it just keeps multiplying by 10 | Jul 09 22:00 |
| scientes | or maybe it is the funny IEEE == operator | Jul 09 22:00 |
| scientes | 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000==10000000000000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 | Jul 09 22:01 |
| scientes | false | Jul 09 22:01 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: 10000000000000000 + 1 = 10000000000000000 | Jul 09 22:01 |
| scientes | ahhhhh | Jul 09 22:02 |
| scientes | that is just IEEE however | Jul 09 22:02 |
| scientes | you can something too small and it does nothing | Jul 09 22:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Someone broke into my Disney account to watch ESPN and they were using PIA. Interesting. | Jul 09 22:03 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Right, so it is not an integer indeed. | Jul 09 22:03 |
| scientes | that I understand | Jul 09 22:03 |
| scientes | but that it will just keep multiplying by 10 | Jul 09 22:03 |
| scientes | and let you enter as many digits as you want.. | Jul 09 22:04 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Why wouldn't it | Jul 09 22:04 |
| scientes | cause it is silly | Jul 09 22:04 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: It's not hard for floats. | Jul 09 22:04 |
| scientes | unless you have a .0 | Jul 09 22:04 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: apparently it's implicit | Jul 09 22:04 |
| *XRevan86 pukes from how shitty this is. | Jul 09 22:05 | |
| scientes | XRevan86, there is also decimal floating point | Jul 09 22:05 |
| scientes | won't solve this issue however | Jul 09 22:06 |
| scientes | not very common | Jul 09 22:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | According to Microsoft, people all over the world have tried to sign into my Outlook mail account. | Jul 09 22:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Unsuccessfully it says. | Jul 09 22:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I used a Firefox generated password and changed that. | Jul 09 22:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, it's definitely some kind of a botnet attacking my Outlook Mail. | Jul 09 22:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some of them were using an account alias, so I removed it from my profile. | Jul 09 22:11 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Not even PHP and Perl5 are that bad. | Jul 09 22:27 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: JS really takes a strong lead. | Jul 09 22:27 |
| XRevan86 | oh wait, it's a pragma… | Jul 09 22:27 |
| XRevan86 | Is perl that bad? | Jul 09 22:28 |
| scientes | except it isn't that WTF because it is clear | Jul 09 22:28 |
| scientes | the reason | Jul 09 22:28 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: It's worse, because it means that JS is implicitly lossy. | Jul 09 22:29 |
| scientes | no it isn't | Jul 09 22:29 |
| XRevan86 | it loses precision | Jul 09 22:29 |
| scientes | you just have to stay under 48 bits | Jul 09 22:30 |
| scientes | 51 IIRC | Jul 09 22:30 |
| scientes | 52 bits | Jul 09 22:30 |
| scientes | you have 52 bits of precision | Jul 09 22:30 |
| scientes | if you want more, you have to do Knuth stuff | Jul 09 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Codecs are just an ongoing mess in general. That's why I was pleased to see VLC in Flatpak form with bubblewrap."Spank spank spank* Stay in there! | Jul 09 22:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: At least this _should_ keep some VLC exploits from escaping into the rest of the system. | Jul 09 22:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think Flatpak is somewhat underrated. | Jul 09 22:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | QBittorrent is in Flatpak too. | Jul 09 23:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's potentially dangerous to run too. | Jul 09 23:00 |
