Well, this is interesting. The unfixed forever bug in Firefox, CSP affects bookmarklets, would have prevented this attack (if the discorders had used Firefox).

At what age is a woman old enough to choose her own boyfriend?

I feel like a lot of people have very strong opinions on a number of adjacent topics, but really don't want to answer the question, even though it would simplify matters considerably and bring some much needed clarity to the discussion.

Sorry, I'm not going to join your anti globalization movement. I happen to like guacamole and will not vote for food import bans.

"It turns out there are three different ways a WebSocket payload length can be encoded in a WebSocket frame."

What could go wrong?

A scatter plot of HN comments about dnssec plotting informative vs polite.

This happens a lot, but rarely gets called out.

"I recognize the message board conversational pattern where all the information you have about the subject is coming from comments rebutting you, and, rather than acknowledging any of that information, you just use it as vocabulary for new misapprehensions."

Leave the Higgs boson alone!

Regarding a certain type of prestige TV show, it's funny how enthusiastically people will exclaim "this is exactly what it's really like" when the portrayal happens to perfectly coincide with what they thought before the show. Shouldn't a good show challenge your assumptions at some point? Isn't it kinda boring when you already know everything?

New WGA contract: every screenwriter gets to write their own finale episode, but you only get residuals for your episode. Give the fans what they want, get paid.

Succession won't be over until people stop explaining what it really says about society.

How would a law guaranteeing a minimum savings account balance of $10k work?

You have $11k in savings. You go to Vegas, withdraw $5k to bet on red, you lose. Does the bank just refill your account back to the minimum? Infinite money glitch?

No scrubs.

Found out the source of the CSP violation. Well, I guess technically the target, but whatever.

What are you clowns doing?

Nobody wants to tell me how many people are affected by the change in snap work requirements. Show me the number!

So I finally got around to the "nightmare" experience of the HBO to MAX app transition, which apparently resulted in hours of torment for "tech savvy" users on twitter...

I opened the old app. It said "I'm obsolete" and I clicked ok to go to the app store. I clicked get to download it. I opened it. I started watching the next episode.

It was like 45 seconds of delay. Gaze upon my hacking skillz and despair, mere tech savvy mortals.

Received a bunch of csp violations, but didn't record them, so not sure what they are, and doesn't seem to affect me. And kinda weird referrer urls. But logging has been added, and our top detectives are on the case.

One wonders why Biden doesn't avoid the debt ceiling by simply printing more money to pay off the debt.

I am very pleased to report that your proposed talk, Things May Be Possible, has been accepted as a keynote for the next honkconf.

Twitter has found a way to make search even worse than mastodon.

@Hbomberguy: The awesome 3D program 'Blender' is trending, but I can't see what for because Twitter doesn't have the infrastructure to filter out horrendous gore from search results any more (since that whole team got fired), so various words just go on a 'do not show results' list
@Hbomberguy: When you fired your trust and safety team
@Hbomberguy: The experts I've spoken to refer to this as 'panic mode'
@Hbomberguy: Instead of having teams whose purpose is to design filters for horrible content, review reports, and take action on this stuff, they're just banning key words and phrases entirely and hoping this shit (which is no longer being removed) doesn't cross too many children's eyeballs
@Hbomberguy: The word 'Blender' is bringing this website to its knees
@Hbomberguy: That's a search for a specific hashtag. Clicking on the trending link, or typing the word 'blender' into search, consistently gives me 'something went wrong' on phone and browser
@Hbomberguy: Wow that's really neat!

"discord emailed me to let me know that since the guy who stole my account updated it with their information they can't give me my acc back because it would breach their privacy policy to give me someone else's account"

Lolwut, peak service, much support.

Anyway, the good news is if someone steals your honknet account, you will not be receiving any emails about not getting it back.

Suck it, metric system. Behold the supremacy of freedom units.

Does the neuralink brain implant have a firewall to keep out the woke mind virus?

So why is it bat man and cat woman, but just robin and penguin? Which circumstances or characteristics dictate a hybrid name and which an animal name?

In the near future, you awaken in a dimly lit room, strapped to a chair.

On a monitor before you, glowing phosphors form words, in striking contrast to your dull surroundings.

"Independent Voices. Color can change culture. The latest colorways celebrates voices making the world a better place".

From a hidden speaker, a flat voice asks, "Agree or disagree?"

"Whah, what's a colorway?" you stammer.

bzzzzt The shock comes hard and fast. "A tender has been posed," says the voice. "Agree or disagree?"

The lights dim as the capacitors recharge in anticipation.

Now see here, what you need to understand is Firefox is dedicated to providing a unique user experience, and therefore every ad embedded in the browser for a different product presents the opportunity for different unique experience. How many experiences can there be? Well, how many products can be advertised?

I want to know more about the t-shirt bots on twitter that show up every time there's even an oblique semi obscured photo of a t-shirt posted. How do they work?

Open letter to scientists working on human animal hybrids to restrict their work to mammals. The ocelot girls, monkey men, kangaroo kids, yeah, I'm fine with that. Onward and forward. But the lizard boys and snake ladies, no, that's too far. And if history judges me for having an opinion, so be it, but I don't like it.

What's the monetization potential for a "leave Taylor alone!" video?

Watched two seasons of Sweet Tooth. It's pretty good, although inconsistent at parts. There's supposed to be a third season, but season two resolves itself without too much cliffhanger.

It's a post apoc world, but without much scarcity except where required to remind the viewer that things are bad. No apparent source of electricity, yet it seems to be everywhere. One guy has a horse, but everyone else is driving around in trucks like it's 1999.

Part of the premise is all human babies are now human animal hybrids, and people hate and hunt the hybrids. Complete with all the slogans like humanity first. I realize it's an allegory, but there's no human babies, so what are they fighting for? It's like the X-Men story, but in that universe there's still humans, and mutants of various ages, so I think the replacement worry makes sense. At the time of this show, there don't appear to be any babies or pregnancies at all. Weird way to worry about the future with self imposed extinction.

In one of those things to that seems to irk only me, every hybrid kid is a different animal. Exactly one each of the first dozen animals you'd put in a kids book about animals.

Supposedly talking hybrids are super duper rare, because they don't have right vocal parts, but conveniently for the show, every hybrid we meet can talk. I think they tried getting the actors to do sign language for one episode before giving up.
