I'm sick to death of hearing about "scale" and "CoGS" from folks who demonstrably have no idea how fast computers are in 2025.

On the Discord IPO plans:

Remember that the enshittification clock starts as soon as a company *considers* going public -- or taking another round of VC funding, even. Discord's monetization moves have not been huge so far, but I never thought they were aiming at modest self-sustainability.

Also, predicting economic outcomes is stupid right now anyway. Anything could happen, starting with the obvious oncoming massive recession and any number of obvious worse possibilities.

"Why Techdirt Is Now A Democracy Blog (Whether We Like It Or Not)" is perhaps Mike Masnick's most important TechDirt post -- which is saying something given how long he's been publishing this essential-reading blog.

Guess it can't hurt to broadcast this once more: The NCSC, NIST and Microsoft all recommend organisations do not force regular password expiry.

https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post/problems-forcing-regular-password-expiry

"Regular password expiry is a common requirement in many security policies. However, in the Password Guidance published in 2015, we explicitly advised against it. This article explains why we made this (for many) unexpected recommendation, and why we think it’s the right way forward."

Someone's taking pictures in San Francisco at an angle to make the streets look level. I feel simultaneously amused and triggered. (Seeing the cars level is what really fuels the illusion)

That’s an interesting read by LocalThunk. Crazy rapid development from hobby to main focus on a deadline and the health implications that come with that stress.

Tagging @dansup since social.lol seems to also be suspended on pixelfed.social.

Does Pixelfed use the same reporting/moderation process as Mastodon? I’ve never seen any reports about social.lol members, so the reason for the block/suspension is unclear.

Ooooh, la. Now that's a pretty bit of kit. If it wasn't crowdfunded I'd be more tempted but hopefully the campaign goes well and eventually they'll be for sale.
