THIS is the right way to do digital. No DRM and no other bullshit. It's BETTER than a physical copy on CD.

Get fucked, Audible ~

why is the first thing any woman does when she sees my expensive fountain pen is, wait until i step away / am not looking, pick it up and screw the piston shut so all the ink in the reservoir comes out and then complain about it leaking

I am instituting a policy of not letting people use "my special pen"

@PurpCat @SuperDicq @mangeurdenuage @Pi_rat @hakui The 8chan/quarantine problem doesn't have to be about politics or whatever is banned on the mainstream sites.

I do agree that "competitors" have to be containment sites, but instead of being containment sites for topics that are banned, just do what Vidlii did and make it a containment site for people who are nostalgic for simpler times. Vidlii in particular is for those who are nostalgic for old-school (pre-2009) YouTube. The content posted there reflects that, and I hardly see any political content on there.

I'm pretty sure Tumblr and DeviantArt went through drastic changes over the years and people are yearning for simpler times. Just make a site like old-school DeviantArt or Tumblr and attract that audience. You can then add federation simply as a bonus feature and then you can get a sizable and somewhat diverse (in tastes) audience.

Just got cjdns over websocket more or less working.

If anybody wants to give it a shot, here's the branch: https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/tree/wsinterface-july8-2026

And here's a peering cred:

"wss://5.135.140.105/cjdns-ws":{"login":"default-login","password":"81sx357g22urvyytc94f1q48f21ty1j","publicKey":"m9g2ltp4v8wty379vxj7uzn2l0sr937l5lz7c6hzkygtwng7vf20.k","peerName":"vinny4"}

You need the new WsInterface block in order to use it, but you can get that by doing ./cjdroute --genconf

wonder if anyone has deployed factorio's weird signal system as an actual programming language somewhere

i mean i'd hate it but i'm still curious

would be neat to see a ladder logic system in a game but i doubt we will

Imagine how fucked it would be if someone started just intentionally spraying so much aluminum into the air that you can measure it in used air filters.

So this 'loophole' lets banks charge whatever they want to merchants when it comes to credit/debit card fees, but ultimately it's something that increases the prices you pay every time you swipe your card, but the real problem isn't what they charge or can charge via this loophole, but the government's fixing of the market through regulation that artificially restricts competition in the market place:

"Now, big banks are looking on with envy because owning a network can mean exemption from a federal law that caps debit-card fees. Those fees collectively amount to billions of dollars each year across the industry, but banks have long complained the government-defined cap limits their ability to offer customers debit-card rewards and other services. Some have been exploring a small deal that could upend the rules, though they are worried about political backlash if they try."

The left hates technical solutions to economic problems, and the right is equally as bad even if in slightly different ways (it's not like they tried to end regulation of the financial industry that inhibits competition).

Point being we have a ton of perfectly acceptable solutions to high fees via cryptos, but regulators have cracked down on companies supporting cryptocurrencies like Monero making it more difficult for merchants to offer solid alternatives.

It gets worse though because the intermediaries that merchants use to take cryptocurrencies are being pressured not only into abandoning support for privacy friendly cryptos like Monero, but they're also being forced into doing absurd "know your customer" crap of downstream customers. They're taking people's crypto and refusing refunds b/c they 'fail' some "KYC" test. It's not just crypto, but prepaid cards too.

The problem with the principle of "Separation of Church and State" is that it's the opposite of neutral: It's biased against Christians.

A better principle would be "Separation of Church or Synagogue or Mosque and State." Or even "religion and State."

In other words, you'd better have an empirical, objective rational reason for laws and/or regulations that do not depend solely on the doctrine of any particular religion.

it sucks that most Google results lead to Reddit pages one cannot read anymore now with mandatory login. I hate Google, I hate Reddit, I hate TikTok and whatnot
