@sindarina the transformation of the check mark from a badge of privilege to a badge of shame.

@sindarina I define all IPs in a config file, and call them with variables. That way, anytime I need to change IPs, it's a simple matter of updating the config instead of having to go through and update my code.

@sindarina On my first co-op term I had to explain this to a technical writer who had changed my example IP addresses to addresses that she thought "looked better" - which happened to be addresses of *our own* internal servers.

@sindarina I kinda appreciate when a TV show or something needs to show an IP address on-screen they use "octets" above 255, such as 301.49.452.7. It certainly upsets some people but I see it as close enough to giving a 555-01XX phone number.

@sindarina I haven't supported the Guardian since they turned #brexshitter.

@sindarina yeah, I count my days of increasing clarity and informed radicalism starting with purging them and all other corporate/state media from my daily diet. :)

@sindarina The Guardian have now put a limit on how many views. No idea how many? They just informed me I have to wait 25 days to return to their app. Maybe because I live in France? I can use a VPN to disguise my lp address but have decided not to bother reading for now. Just get frustrated by lack of critical thinking and their propaganda promoting the establishment.
