lmao phishing SMS campaigns posing as tech companies looking to hire. It must be tough out there for CS grads if they're spraying spam to the general public.

Now in Effect: Louisiana Law Makes State the 5th to Recognize Gold and Silver as Legal Tender.

Beyond the provisions to make gold and silver legal tender, the bill also specifies that “no person shall incur any liability for refusal to accept recognized legal tender for the payment of debts, except as provided by contract.”

In practice, including this contract clause means if parties voluntarily agree to be paid, or to pay, in gold and silver coin or bullion, the Louisiana courts could not substitute any other thing, e.g. Federal Reserve Notes, as payment.

Everyone should really try to set up a searx instance on their machines. There's only a few hundred users right now. If enough decent folks started running it and scraped a little piece of the Internet they care about (you can even set it up as a proxy server to scrape any site you've been to) then we'd have a search platform that, while imperfect, would at least actually have all the sites places like Google refuses to show.

So the new Fairly Odd Parents series seems to be even worse than I thought. Poof makes an appearance as an adult, but his name is now Peri because apparently, "Poof" is a homophobic slur in some countries. Him appearing as an adult makes no sense because I thought fairies aged slowly, but he claims that he hasn't seen his parents in over 10,000 years, but it still doesn't make sense because he is godparenting Doug Dimmadome's grandson.

Butch Hartman REALLY got screwed.
