Many are blaming "Linux" users on tthe Duckstation debacle but you have to remember that 99% of emulator developers are as unstable as a woman in her period. They will crash out and burn their entire work if their ego is not stroke and they hate having to engage with their users.

A lot of economic reports are coming out this week and it's not looking good.

July printing just 73K, far below the 104K estimate. May was revised down by 125,000, from +144,000 to +19,000, June was revised down by 133,000, from +147,000 to +14,000.

Jobs Shocker: July Payrolls Far Below Estimates, Follow Massive Revisions Lower

Really shows the president doesn't matter. The Éminence grise behind all the recent administrations wants the economy to burn.

Only someone like me would be crazy enough to drive across state lines just to visit a library and work on projects.

Another thing I'd like to see abolished are property taxes designated to go to county/city school districts, when you have zero children.

I know things are totally messed up right now, but I'm glad the fedi exists and you cool people are out there.
I'm grateful for you, the person reading this right now, probably in a voice I can't think of.

@phnt @anemone @feld @cjd @sun I'm not an expert on this, but can someone create a VPN that works via steganography? Because from what I've heard, in countries that ban Tor, Tor bridges are still usable because they hide your Tor traffic in VoIP packets which makes it extremely hard to determine if you are using Tor in the first place. I wonder if the same can be done with VPNs.

In the light of NSFW artists being pushed away from platforms, here's a starterpack for making your own website. It uses the same structure as my own.

- Edit pages via markdown
- Upload art to set folders and fill out info
- Customize the HTML/CSS if you want

My ideal package manager design for a programming language:

Packages are downloaded over a P2P system, like BitTorrent or IPFS
The package manager runs as a daemon and seeds all downloaded packages
There is also a centralized site, which is a directory that maps packages to hashes/torrents; also has documentation and search
The site has an open API that other sites can replicate
Project files reference packages by both name/version and hash; the hashes remain valid even if the site goes down
The site has human moderation and handles detecting malware, spam, etc. and removing it
Package names always have a username prefix
The site's staff can choose to bless a package as the preferred implementation of some feature, giving it a non-prefixed name

This is something that's bothered me for years, even before some of the most recent news events involving ID verification and the Tea App security failure.

Stop just letting people scan your ideas for silly reasons. Don't upload your ID to any mobile app. Learn why and how to protect yourself:
