I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as iOS, is in fact, EU/iOS, or as I've recently taken to calling it, EU plus iOS. iOS is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning EU/iOS system made useful by European Union regulations forcing the ability to offer alternative app stores, browser choice, more control over default apps…

All of US history took place while Pluto orbited the Sun - once

It's gonna be real annoying to be a programmer once we've invented time travel, what with the future selves showing up all the time demanding answers.

Mainly about what the code does, how it works, why did you do it this way, why is this breaking this way, help me debug it, and so on.

I took @nixCraft's 'No NAT November' challenge and switched my network to IPv6-only!

It's time to update a resource, can you guess which request type to use?

That's right it's a POST request! 😺

Uh oh, we need to go back and delete a record now. What do we use?

You guessed it, a POST request!

Now we need to query some tables using this RESTful API, I wonder what type of API call we need to make?

Astonishing, you guessed correctly it's a POST request 😄

As good a day as any to remind myself that the way most of us has been taught the size of countries is misleading as hell.

exile user

admin can forcefully migrate a user to a specific instance (including the blocklisted ones)
users can also vote to exile other users
the user could be exiled forever or for a specific time period after which they would be able to migrate back

would be very funny ​:trolley:​

Ouch :)

It's incredible how often on social media people complain about public replies to their public posts.

🇬🇧In response to my complaint, Europol admits mistakes when employees switched to #ChatControl surveillance tech provider Thorn. Internal rules were disregarded without consequences. Europol promises reforms. However, the checks for conflicts of interest would need a fundamental overhaul to exclude pro-surveillance lobbying by ex-employees.

If you don't already know, make sure you read the scandalous original stories on the #ChatControl file and how commercial interests are entangled with state security and political actors to push for destroying the secrecy on correspondence online:
