Raccoons are trying to break into Cybertrucks, and there's some speculation that this is happening because the raccoons are literally confusing them with dumpsters

Seriously y'all, some Day of the Jackal mutherfucker goes off and all we get is an ear graze?

America is truly a cursed and cursed nation.

It turns out this time its not even a bug, it is intended behaviour! #Element apparently simply doesn't support #Firefox ESR, which is what I use on #Debian, so I guess I just won't use #Matrix on my laptop anymore.

One of the devs argues they cannot support a browser release that is
one year old. Why are modern developers so scared of stable software? Why does everything need to be new and changed? It's so dumb...

@wesdym @darabos you heard it here first folks, @NanoRaptor pouring hot water on her windshield was the first step in the decline into fascism. Thanks a lot!

Nina Power of Compact gets called a Nazi. Sues for defamation. In discovery, produces chats not just supporting Nazi ideas but calling herself a Nazi. Loses so hard she just declared bankruptcy. https://luketurner.com/Nina_Power/

YouTube is currently experimenting with server-side ad injection. This means that the ad is being added directly into the video stream.

This breaks sponsorblock since now all timestamps are offset by the ad times.

For now, I set up the server to detect when someone is submitting from a browser with this happening and rejecting the submission to prevent the database from getting filled with incorrect submissions.

Before they will let me publish a new release of XScreenSaver on the "Play" [sic] store, Google, the most rapacious privacy violator ever, insists that a screensaver have a privacy policy.

This is where you come in!

I'd like this policy to be a series of bullet points: "Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will not [Thing.] An endless, concise catalog of their sins.

After this point I received $50M from venture capitalists to build a profitable business for them, and I failed spectacularly at this to the never ending gratitude of the wider Matrix community."

You better be ready for who he is going to attempt to blame if Matrix ends in scorn
