Aside: if anyone can recommend a better blogging platform, I would appreciate it.

so I can’t promise better, but you’re eligible for an account on the awful.systems blogging platform if you want one. it has MathML! it has jank! you can modify the frontend by PRing into a repo!

it hasn’t seen much use yet, but I was planning on posting a short story I’m writing there when it’s done. I can also say that as much as I don’t like WriteFreely on the web, its phone app is surprisingly ok

I’m all for stickying a post if one appears!

fucking wild you busted out a Dollar Tree word like abstruse but came here to brag about how you didn’t read the article because you couldn’t understand its extremely simply worded headline

proton’s ceo is, at this moment, trying to post through it on multiple official company accounts

thank fuck I switched to tuta

[I hold up a hand to my earpiece and make a horrified face]

a second milkshake has hit the duck (cw: fetishized racism, you know the one)

I’m waiting to hear back from tuta about what the fuck but this might be the reason why I hop providers again

image description (but see cw)so somebody at tuta had the idea to write this post on their official account on Twitter:

Don't get cucked by Big Tech's invasive policies. Keep your private data safe and secure with state of the art end-to-end encryption with Tutanota.

and then the image attached to the post is a cuckold porn meme I started to describe here but won’t??? because describing the image put me in a really terrible mood??? it’s SFW but trust me you don’t want it. the Black men in the picture have had their faces covered by logos for Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple, and Facebook in that order. the white woman in the picture does not have her face covered. impact font bottom text: “YOUR PERSONAL DATA”

holy fuck I just realized the diabolical part of this horseshit:

I only know about the mdn ads cause my development browser doesn’t have an adblocker as a matter of practice (which I’m very quickly considering revising)

[–] self@awful.systems 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

mdn’s only job is to be better than w3schools but here comes Mozilla removing the value from another one of their own projects

also not pictured: there was a fucking side banner ad I didn’t feel like screenshotting too, of course

HTTP: famous for doing Google pay, Apple Pay, PayPal, and nothing else. no other use has been found for http

(also, FTP! as indicated by these apps that famously don’t use or support it!)

MDN has fucking ads now????

(also, image uploads are back, weird how pict-rs sometimes just shits the bed)

image descriptiona fucking “ads by Mozilla” banner at the top of mdn web docs advertising mongodb’s LLM of all fucking things

[–] self@awful.systems 9 points 1 year ago

huh, pict-rs has been acting up a lot lately. I’m gonna give the whole node a quick reboot later and see if that fixes things

how else do you do agentic AI?

  • has money in crypto
  • skin is actively melting
  • will keep monologuing even when unconscious, like a broken video game cutscene
