Omnibus Theory is that every city bus is actually one and the same vehicle that travels back and forth across every line simultaneously

Nobody hates computers as much as someone who loves computers.

@mos_8502 @marioguzman Nobody hates Mac OS design as much as someone who loves Mac OS design.

@mos_8502 If you love your printer, you know nothing about computers. If you hate your printer, you know a little about computers. If you fear your printer, you work in tech.

I'm 25+ years into a very diverse IT career. If there's one thing I've figured out, it's that, like the organizations that use them, all IT technologies are broken in one way or another. It's best to look at computing tech as any other tool you might pull out of a toolbox and try to find the one that works best for your situation: there's no point in computing religion.

Just watched Lindsay Ellis's video "Yoko and The Beatles", which I highly recommend. Especially if, like me, you have plenty of leftover Beatles fan brainrot from when you were a teenager. But regardless it's just a great essay.

Hello #PortfolioDay , I'm Enora Mercier. I've worked as a concept artist for clients such as Riot Games, 20th Century Fox, and as an illustrator for Magic:The Gathering.

My work often involves Eco-punk themes and I am now working in partnership with scientists to illustrate articles, books and papers on the climate crisis and eco-games.

Some new stuff I've worked on since last #PortfolioDay:

Portfolio day is also time to be honest about how I feel about my portfolio.
In term of client works, I'm looking to shift my style towards more stylized and do it traditionally. So while I have lots of "painterly realistic" stuff in my portfolio, I'm slowly but surely turning this ship around towards new fine art horizons.

Tools: Beside the digital stuff, I work in acrylics, #oilpainting , and #watercolor

It turns out Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on `*.google.com` access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage

You can test it out by pasting the following into your Chrome DevTools console on any Google page:

chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
"nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
{ method: "cpu.getInfo" },
(response) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
},
);

@simon @Shamar did you really have to point out that you used a theft machine (โ€œAIโ€) to write that short JS snippet?

Ah. From your profile, youโ€™re a promoter of these theft machines. Byebyeโ€ฆ

@simon friendly reminder that you need root access to fully remove Google from many android phones and tablets and that root access generally voids your warranty. That said, most warranties don't last longer than a couple years so if you've had your phone for 2 or more years then you likely have little to lose by ripping your *.google.com applications out and replacing them with much more secure applications.

If you don't want to do that, the paid version of #netguard can at least lock down your phone's network traffic app by app and web address by web address.

As @mmasnick points out, so-called "age verification" laws to participate in online activities amount to creating a license to read, and to speak. Anonymity would effectively be banned.

It's also a license for other people to know, in a granular way, what you are reading and saying -- and your personal information would be held by people who cannot be trusted in any way.

Maybe the worst part of this is that some alleged liberals are all in for this evil plan.

I really hate the term โ€œside-loading.โ€ We shouldnโ€™t need a word for the normal way weโ€™ve been installing apps for the past 40 years. If tomorrow Apple decided they were going to start only letting you visit web pages they approved of, we wouldnโ€™t call some sort of alternating system that let you see *the rest of the fucking internet* โ€œside-pagingโ€. Weโ€™d instead call the whole thing bullshit.

@mwl the hippo can run faster than you can; the hippo can swim faster than you can. Your only chance to outpace the hippo is during the bicycle stage of the triathlon.
