How is Signal not privacy-friendly? It’s the most private thing that can be called a “messenger app”.

You’re right, they got called out as a “honeypot” for basic KYC and not having E2EE (which you can’t with email AFAIK)

The only thing that turns people off is that they cooperate with governments. Well, if you’re using it for your business you shouldn’t worry about that unless it’s illegal business, at which point you have bigger problems

CD drives were too big so drives were developed that only took half a CD, which is shaped like a C.

I wouldn’t be in the mood to start raising a child st 84

You can assign them manually but to this day, they are the last to get used when auto-mounting drives.

Unix rules

I’m not an expert, how many Raspberry Pi 4s does this translate to?

Fuck. My autistic self has enough problems already and recently I get all gender-questioning while hugging my Blåhaj (still comfortably cis by day though). Seeing articles that imply I am “at risk” of being queer does not help: I don’t want to go through the phase of finding out and potentially having to tackle the choices and processes involved before I sort out my ADHD-like symptoms. Trans folk REALLY is brave to have picked the fight against all the social norms. Should I unsubscribe from 196 to hopefully reduce the temptation to find out? Yes, I’m a bit of a coward.

Today we mourn, tomorrow we moon. Buy the dip at 11:59 PM.

Body disfiguration, mutation, strange diseases and injuries, missing/extra limbs etc. Junji Ito does that a lot.

Fake. Only native English speakers make basic homophone mistakes. /s

Very cool! The thesis does not seem to mention blinks but they seem pretty trivial as opposed to eye position. This solution is all in hardware, mine would be all software assuming the eye and eyelid have sufficiently different IR reflectivity for a normal infraport to detect. Of course, there are many other options to implement this such as a microcontroller, some kind of character display and a teletype for non-volatile storage. Or nothing but a Morse code logger but that’s a little too dehumanizing.

The original French title refers to a diving suit, one of those heavy metal-glass ones as a metaphor to the locked-in-body syndrome.

I can’t imagine the patience required on both sides of the transcription process. In 1995, it would be very much possible to write a computer program that uses reflection of the eye on the IR port to at least partially automate it. Or maybe attach EEG to the patient to perhaps allow for more output.

Prague did until 2002

Now that’s a classy one, but I prefer “ⅯⅮⅭⅭⅭⅠ”

Also, usernameDOESNTcheckout, that would be 0x709

That’s just 1 PM but 25 days later.

This is a cursed time format

*Reused, which is preferred to recycling even if the materials are 100% recyclable.

That’s what I told to the store employee I encountered coming to work via the back door. He wasn’t too happy but ultimately let me do it.

My oven is so old I came across an identical one in an e-waste pile behind a store. I stole the timer knob and mechanism so I don’t need to keep using the broken one (manual only) anymore.

Well, looks like there is a lot of apps you are not using. For example, Messaging. Or any of the non-browser YouTube clients on Android (RVX, NewPipe, Grayjay).
