Fuck Samsung’s bloatware delivery mechanism, I just want a deep-dive documentary on the material science behind these types of glass

Nobody said any of that. You seem unhinged.

maybe MEGA.io

Ublock + SponsorBlock + the Unhook browser extension to hide everything except subscriptions + one custom Ublock filter to hide the suggested videos after the end which they snuck back in a few weeks ago

Unhook is really great

1 million euros to Gargron, eh.

Our next step is to build more ways for the community to get involved with Mastodon at all levels.

They could start by not ignoring Github issues until a solution is or isn’t silently built with no dialog and the issues closed.

Hopefully this will lead to a major improvement in the dysfunctional dev process, but I’m not holding my breath.

I managed to figure out how to bypass the cert verification in dbconfig-mysql (named on the tin as dbconfig-common) and got my appliance set up!

1. apt install dbconfig-mysql before installing the PhpMyAdmin package

2. In /usr/share/dbconfig-common/internal/dbc-mysql, in both sections where temporary my.cnf is defined, set ssl-verify-server-cert = off right below the port = line.

3. to install PhpMyAdmin, run DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low apt install phpmyadmin and follow the prompts

4. In /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php add the following line directly under $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = $dbserver;:

   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] = true;
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl_verify'] = false;
   

This is why I say it can’t be reformed.

But shitlibs from .world wanna argue. Which is kind of a microcosm of why we are where we are in this country.

Thanks, but I really dislike adminer’s UI, although granted I’ve been using a fairly old version.

How about open source pluggable algos which can be optionally marked shareable between users and selected from a list sortable by number of “installs”

So like a user could define an algorithm to select posts, and then mark it shared, and other users could see it in a directory and try it out themselves, and optionally clone and hack on it, release a new version, etc.

As far as how the post selection algos could be defined, I’m thinking of something similar to the boolean query syntax in the Quod Libet music player, but one could also implement a more code-like syntax.

(I’m aware this is a huge ask, but I’ve had this idea for 8 years since my first Mastodon account, and have been too busy being oppressed by life to do anything about it.)

The eight senators were Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Dick Durbin of Illinois, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Angus King of Maine, Jacky Rosen of Nevada, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, but Levin said many more centrist lawmakers were likely “in on the play.”

On **MSNBC Monday, Shaheen acknowledged that Schumer was “kept informed” of the eight senators’ negotiations with the GOP regarding reopening the government.

[…]

“The coordinated nature of this—none [of the lawmakers who voted yes] are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate [minority] leader to stop it,”

(emphasis added)

The only path to effective opposition in the United States is through the destruction of the Democrat party. It can’t be reformed.

it’s stress-induced capitulation.

Bold of you to take these assholes at their word.

They did this on purpose with malice aforethought to scuttle the fight for even a little consideration for healthcare costs drowning the 99%.

The Democrat party works for the donor class, exactly like their friends in the GOP. It couldn’t be any clearer.

This isn’t 8 deluded idiots standing on idiotic principle.

It’s a carefully stage-managed operation to scuttle the fight for even a few crumbs of healthcare.

Notice how every single one of these motherfuckers is either retiring or not up for re-election any time soon. They even rigged it so Schumer could vote no and take a little of the recent heat off himself.

The rot in the Democrat party goes all the way to the core. There’s no reforming it.

Bold of you to assume it’s overwritten rather than being unlinked and having the random data written to entirely different flash blocks.

If you want to rely on “overwriting” data for security, you need deterministic storage; only CMR hard drives mostly qualify (leaving aside the question of bad-block remapping).

• No ruins, probes, artifacts, or lingering tech
• No Dyson spheres or interstellar beacons
• No signs of past galactic empires

Would we really be able to see any of these if they weren’t right in the immediate neighborhood?

• Some transcend biological limitations?

By inventing self-replicating machines, perhaps? :(

A few weeks ago I went on a wiki dive about some pedo shit that happened in broad daylight in the USA in the 1970s and was only solved after it got so fucking egregious the cops could no longer ignore it / write off all the dead kids as “runaways” and not investigate, and holy mother of jebus I can see why some people would believe in shit like Pizzagate after reading about shit that literally did happen in this country in living memory.

Start point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Corll … and this is only the start point, it branches out from there into major conspiracy involving dozens of motherfuckers who mostly got slaps on the wrist if any punishment at all

TW: extreme depravity + proof positive that life was cheap as fuck in America only 50 years ago

Yes, it’s disgusting that the GOP is using them as pawns.

Pelosi’s down. Schumer needs to go next.
