Not google forcing me to look at an AI summary of my data removal process. I am very looking forward to deleting all that shit. Jesus I'm also very curious to poke through all the data they have on me.

TIL that a phone number dialed with commas will delay 2 seconds at each comma. So to call an extension, you simply call AAA-AAAA,,,BBBB (where As are the base phone number and Bs are the extension)

Thinking about how I might design social platforms to combat the "The Thing" style horror of never trusting whether anyone you interact with is real That feeling is extremely corrosive to cooperative / social online spaces. I want to design it out of existence

How hard would it be to design and manufacture phones like these, modernly? Surely all of the parts in these would be relatively cheap... and of course the software would be extremely simple? Is it just the proprietary tentacles of cell carriers that make this […] [Original post on fed.y1.nz]

some old nokia flip phones. They are small, constructed mostly out of grey hard plastic, and have monochrome screens.

Apparently the telnet URI scheme does not have a TLS equivalent (telnets:) like the http and gopher schemes, rather it is left as the client's responsibility to encrypt and how. (I think)

The process of trying to change the favicon on snac has me making plans for how I might replace it with something better. It's pure insane not to have a `static` folder to put statically served assets in. Like the favicon. I was going to try to refactor it into what I want, but I think I might […]

When a piece of software has too low a proportion of devs in its userbase, it becomes very user-hostile very quickly. This is why _so freaking many_ software things right now are ship-of-theseusing themselves into the dumpster. This problem was still present, just less visible before AI.

Please, suckless, just put a "Fuck nazis and fuck fascists" on your website. I'm begging you, you have such good ideas but no one is going to see them unless you do that. The public perception is that you're nazis. I don't care how fucking apolitical you want to appear, fix that shit. :/

I need to get it in my brain, that it is cool & good & **necessary actually** to pester open sourcey people who are similar to me. Usually they're really cool and nice and I feel 1000% more motivated to actually work on hard stuff when I have friends who care about any of it. :P

posting here from dillo on shrimp, the m2 mac booting openbsd. Notes: it's weirdly similar of an experience to using bro? except obviously that bro does not yet implement any kind of forms. Also dillo uses shift+backspace as a shortcut to navigate back, which makes typing kind of unpleasant >.<

How is there no pixel art software (a la Aseprite or ms paint even) with a decent open-source license? I guess the open-source types are just cool with like, Gimp ? Considering making this my next project. It'd be in C, with dependencies on SDL (for graphics) and image format libraries, only.
