OK #Firefox users, this is a special request. I'm looking for someone with a high-end Raptor Lake machine that is experiencing instability in Firefox (or anything else for the matter). The best candidate is a CPU from the 13900* SKUs. K or not doesn't matter as long as it's one with the 8P+16E cores.

We have a potential workaround for one of the most common bugs of this CPU, but we need a broken machine to test it.

Trans Finder is so popular that it literally CRASHED my Mastodon instance for several hours

I'm unemployed and REALLY need money so uuuuhhh

If I said "send me like, $5 or something on Ko-Fi" would folks be interested in getting one with [insert pride flag of your choice] ?

They're 2133 x 2133 pixels and I'll send you the PNG and a PSD if you want it

I can probably figure out how to make them actually replace the finder icon if you use a Mac, too

@soatok
Algo-speak is a language of fascism in my eyes.
It's dehumanising, culture-erasing (algorithms are biased to "White English") and disarming.

The appropriation (something new I learnt) is a "great" example of it. If you want an Eastern Bloc equivalent of this, I recommend looking up "Normalization in Czechoslovakia".

I have invented a new dessert.

I started by robbing a trainload of ice cream. Then I combined that with some sugar I "harvested" from my neighbor's kitchen. Then, I mix it all together, and spoonfeed it to your boss until he gets all sugar high. Then, I jack up the price to $100/mo and use that money to hire more train robbers.

I call it "Agentic Ice Cream" and I'm doing a funding round now. Free enterprise, baby.

I finally remade my website! I was sick of jumping between all these different blogging platforms and decided to commit to just using a static site!

@neatnik has been incredibly helpful by helping me evade bugs as I'm (seemingly?) the first person after him to use Neato in production for a personal website! It's a super cool product and I'm looking forward to continue using it as it evolves!

I fucking hate TikTok speak

FFS I hate how advertisers have control over language. They do not deserve that power.

I spent the entire day making a list of all the things I accomplished in the last few years because i literally forget things I've made, projects I've completed, and I get sad that I'm not making progress in the things I want to accomplish lol.

It's like my brain tricks me into believing I have not made any progress on something and then when I go look in my files or notes I see that I'm actually like 90% done I just forgot about it. *Routinely*

So that's cool. 😂🫠😬🫠🫠🫠

For years, Rust binaries made reversing a nightmare. Modern decompilers only support C, lacking meaningful types, constructs, and language-specific functions. Led by @34r7hm4n, we're releasing our S&P work Oxidizer, the first deep Rust decompiler, built on angr!

Interested? 🧵👇

That One Draft Post (you know the one) that I've been working on for [unintelligible] months now had me wondering if I even remember how to _finish_ something, so, this was a brief interlude where I checked to see if I could in fact still do that. And also I wanted to write a little bit about #Python programming (a thing I actually like) and not just more about AI

Can't emphasise how much I feel these are exactly the sort of use cases and users the web was made for: "hobbyists, hackers, educators, makers and developers"! Not everything has to be about corporate bottom lines sometimes the web can just be for fun tinkering (but also lots of real world use too)!

The "let me google that for you" site now redirects to a dot-app tld which either ships malware or looks an awful lot like something that ships malware, which isn't great on its face, but if you see it as a piece of guerrilla performance art it's right on time and right on target.

Great. Google wants to build "bid to gaslight the public".
