The History Guy. About 80% of his videos are non-military history.

Like with spam and its basically zero conversion rate, yes. But I’ve seems to remain clear of it in the tags I follow. So far.

When I see this kind of thing, I think, “Screw that. I want to listen to real people.” But then I wonder if that’s because I’m GenX shaking my fist at cloud and in the future will this become normalized or even demanded?

I just hope that the fediverse stays small enough to remain an undesirable target for AI slop mongers.

Used to have one in the 90s. It was a Kensington and the ball was the same size as a pool ball. I had a 2 ball in there for a while. But at some point I ditched it. You’re making me wonder if I should try one again.

Most of my code and some non-code is under ~/src, but I have repos scattered all around for other things.

I don’t care what they do as long as they do it over there.

I think the difference is scale. Before it was x% of humanity making shitting opinions where x < 100. Now it’s x% of humanity+AI, where x is, say, 100,000% of humanity. I don’t think we’re currently equipped to separate the wheat from that much chaff.

I’d say it’s more intolerably long copyright terms than the DMCA specifically.

Yes, it is. I just need to know that the passkeys are in that file and that all the apps I use to read that file support them.

I don’t entirely disagree, but I think defining much of that in effective legal terms is going to be virtually impossible. And I’m super-wary of anything that says someone can’t link to something.

Just be careful how you do it. The First Amendment gives a lot of leeway for people to be shitty.

I need to sync my passkeys between all my devices–which really means I need keepass to store the private keys in its DB so I can sync it with all the other keepass-compatible apps I use in various places. Last I looked, this wasn’t solved, but it’s been a minute. I’m certainly not using a centralized password manager unless they all can freely import and export from one another. I understand this is a “being worked on” problem.

So someday, yes.

If you get my master keepass password, you have all my passwords, too.

I agree they should. But I also agree they shouldn’t be required to. And if they don’t, that we should just live with it as the lesser of two evils.

A) I don’t think there’s anything illegal, here, and B) of course large private agencies manipulate elections, from news agencies to SuperPACs to social media, and C) there’s not a heck of a lot we can do about that.

The best thing we can do is smarten up and think for ourselves. In short, we’re doomed!😅

Hmm. I have a bumper sticker that says “I ❤️ Nuclear War”. I wonder what bucket that puts me in.

I remember it being a big space sink when I was editing video. Now all I have is DVD rips of my collection and those are nice and compact.

Oh, man, I’d forgotten about this game! Used to play it on the C64!
