also if I ever reuse this code for anything ("this code" being the reused code from the juggling keyboard), I'll have to remember that it currently loads all images upside down, unless they're of Doom

This is a very cool talk by Nicholas Matsakis about editor-friendly compiler architecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6b44kMS6OM

At the risk of asking a very strange question, does anyone know of a WRITTEN source that has similar information?

I am sorry, but I can read about three thousand times faster than I can watch a video. Videos for me are like looking for needles in haystacks...

Why use a URL shortener when you can use a phishy URL extender?

Keep your security people alert and awake, generate phishing-looking redirecting links

the most dangerous phase in shitposting is when you have to ask yourself:

do I make this joke twice as funny by spending 10 times as long working on it?

Apparently Microsoft don’t understand how the Fediverse works, and want me to delete the parody account @microsoft 🤣🫡

@BrodieOnLinux programming in LISP remains the most fun way to misuse a computer but doing batshit insane linux desktop things is a very close second

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

🇬🇧Public pressure works: Belgium, Finland & Czechia will NOT approve the #ChatControl mass surveillance law in October. But other governments whose vote is crucial are still on the fence. Urge them to protect our digital privacy and encryption now: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/#WhatYouCanDo

Look, Jeff Atwood, it is difficult to take you seriously when you write authoritatively on a subject you clearly don’t understand.

GDPR doesn’t mandate cookie notices.

Cookie notices are *malicious compliance* by the surveillance-driven adtech industry.

If you’re not tracking people, you do not need a cookie notice, period.

If you’re only using first-party cookies for functional reasons, you do not need a cookie notice, period.

If you’re using third-party cookies to track people – i.e., if you’re sharing their data with others – then *you must have their consent to do so*. Because, otherwise, you are violating their privacy. Even then, the law doesn’t mandate a cookie notice.

How would you conform to EU law without a cookie notice if your aim wasn’t malicious compliance?

You would not track people by default and you would make it so they have to go your site’s settings to turn on third-party tracking if, for some inexplicable reason, they wanted that “feature”.

Boom!

No cookie notice necessary.

What’s that?

But that would destroy your business because your business is founded on the fundamental mechanic of violating people’s privacy?

Good.

Your business doesn’t deserve to exist.

Because the real bullshit here isn’t EU legislation that protects the human right to privacy, it’s the toxic Silicon Valley/Big Tech business model of farming people for data that violates everyone’s privacy and opens the door to technofascism.
