@lain@lain.com you wouldn't download this wine

someone on hackers.town accused me of writing a post using gpt a few months ago, and no, i regret to inform all of my bad takes are worded by myself

there's something quite horrid about being so casually treated as inhuman simply for not having the same range of language as a "normal" person

yeah the millennium looks cool but if it's the only mask you have I'm going to accuse you of the obvious

@shibao C50 exists

@shibao i see, it's not tacticool enough for you

"adblocking is piracy" discourse is incredible to me because it starts from the assumption I have a problem with piracy. "Oh look at me, I feel bad because someone copied something" okay, grow up

I think it's a more evil line than some of the rhetoric on piracy, because of how much advertising relies on coercion. As far as "conventional" piracy goes, simply not watching or listening to or playing something is not a catastrophic loss, but you'll find it much harder to get by without using online services, and this "choice" to not sit in a cave with the lights off, is "consent".

Since you "consented", it's now morally fine to advertise alcohol and gambling, to push scams, to display huge "DOWNLOAD NOW" ads on filesharing sites, to push size bloat on users with limited data tariffs, to waste CPU time, to shorten the lifespan and battery life of devices, and to increase the rate of attrition/upgrade which contributes to electronic waste.

the zip tld is extremely dangerous, my computer has already mistaken the entirety of google for a zip file and i now have hundreds of thousands of sensitive account details, shit fuck, fuck,

git is a decent solution for version control, an open standard that means we don't have to put all our eggs in one big smashable single-point-of-smashing basket, fantastic stuff

web standards (1993): a single programmer can write a browser which does everything acceptably well

web standards (1994..2022): ✨ innovation ✨

web standards (2023): web standards are now so complex that only large organisations can maintain acceptable browsers, and there's what? three?
