@kiwu@twtxt.net HIIIIIIIIIIIII

@twtxt.net@twtxt.net HI KIWU YOUR PROFILE’S A BIT BUGGED ON OUR END BUT IT’S OK IT’LL FIX ITSELF

In 1996, they came up with the X11 “SECURITY” extension:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4w548u/what_is_up_with_the_x11_security_extension/

This is what could have (eventually) solved the security issues that we’re currently seeing with X11. Those issues are cited as one of the reasons for switching to Wayland.

That extension never took off. The person on reddit wonders why – I think it’s simple: Containers and sandboxes weren’t a thing in 1996. It hardly mattered if X11 was “insecure”. If you could run an X11 client, you probably already had access to the machine and could just do all kinds of other nasty things.

Today, sandboxing is a thing. Today, this matters.

I’ve heard so many times that “X11 is beyond fixable, it’s hopeless.” I don’t believe that. I believe that these problems are solveable with X11 and some devs have said “yeah, we could have kept working on it”. It’s that people don’t want to do it:

Why not extend the X server?

Because for the first time we have a realistic chance of not having to do that.

https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html

I’m not in a position to judge the devs. Maybe the X.Org code really is so bad that you want to run away, screaming in horror. I don’t know.

But all this was a choice. I don’t buy the argument that we never would have gotten rid of things like core fonts.

All the toolkits and programs had to be ported to Wayland. A huge, still unfinished effort. If that was an acceptable thing to do, then it would have been acceptable to make an “X12” that keeps all the good things about X11, remains compatible where feasible, eliminates the problems, and requires some clients to be adjusted. (You could have still made “X11X12” like “XWayland” for actual legacy programs.)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org check out their song zenbu kakete go!!

has an EPIC intro featuring ichika (violin girl) plus one of the members beatboxing and two girls (including my all time favorite idol, dambara ruru!) on vocals! it’s so good

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I REPLIED TO THIS AND NOW IT’S NOT SHOWING WTFFFF anyway what i said was that i have some fun stuff in the daily note template already like ASCII weather forecast from wttr AND a jenny holzer quote from fortune!!! i should add more fun stuff!!!

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it’s been chill!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Thank you! I have to check out more of their stuff.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Holy cow! O_o

Reducing the overall screen time is desireable, that’s right. I should do the same.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de How many? All of them!

My goodness, what assholes. Reacting based on the User-Agent might just work. For now.

@bender@twtxt.net yeah, my friend’s considering moving away from linode and instead self hosting. VPS stuff is a pain

Since Fastly acquired and recently shut down glitch.com, some of my ancient webapps are no longer available, nor do I have any plans to make them available again - all had either zero, or very few monthly visits, used outdated libraries and would be a waste of money, to continue hosting and updating elsewhere.

All art archives remain unaffected and all projects shut down before 2025, were already permanently deleted, but if there’s someone out there, still relying on the recently discontinued projects, somehow - you can reach out and request their source code.

These requests will only be honoured, until the end of this year, when we plan to permanently delete, all of this data (both webapps and files only hosted on Amazons CDN).

Canine out °_°

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org To be fair, I did first notice this a while ago. But no monitor I ever had showed burn-ins like this (be it TFT or CRT), so I didn’t know that I should have sent it back. And then it got worse over time and now I see ghost images after 20-30 minutes. :(

juice=juice the best group to ever do it

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz after 5 years or so with Linode, I started having little—but annoying—issues with them. Moved to Vultr and have been very happy with them since Ubuntu 16.04, so 9 years, and a little bit more.

omg new @bender@twtxt.net icon!!!!

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, because, you know, even if you try entering a fake date of birth, the “algorithms” will, move it like a Ouija board, changing it back to the right one /s. 🙄

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah, because, you know, even if you try entering a fake date of birth, the “algorithms” will move it, like a Ouija board, changing it back to the right one /s. 🙄

@prologic@twtxt.net i am trying!!! i have a lil template to encourage me and everything <3

@important_dev_news@n8n.andros.dev Oh gawd, is the EU doing this “age verification” bullshit too!? Not just Australia?! 🇦🇺 Farrrrk!!!!! Help!!!!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Just do it 🤣 I do this daily for work. It’s great!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i’m literally so happy i can’t wait to play with it

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ooooooohhhhh, nice 😲

guys oh my god i went to the flea market and i found a WORKING POCKET PC PDA FOR 10 BUCKS. WE ARE SO BACK

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org awwww :‘)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the violin player is arisawa ichika, member of juice=juice who she’s performing with here! the song is their track “future smile” from 2021 :) it's a banger!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de DIABOLICALLLLLLL

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Don’t worry, this hype will end as quickly as the last one haha 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sounds about right 😅

Heck yeah, that’s damn cool: Reading QR codes without a computer! https://qr.blinry.org/

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d expect a custom build like that to cost at least 50’000€ here in Europe. Used campers with 100’000 - 200’000 km already on their clock are 20-40k€, apparently. 😆

Bloody AI clowns:

How many IPs am I supposed to block, eh?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Smart decision. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Too bad, no FLOSS software. :-/ But thanks! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de What the heck, that’s terrible! :-( This planned obsolence right after warranty really sucks balls.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha 😆 But OTOH not nearly as much as you think. Plus you get to build what you want!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org A web app called Floor Plan Creator

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Looks like it. 🤔 Didn’t dig deeper into this, just uninstalled it. 🥴

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 4 years. 🫤

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s about time to get a new monitor. How old is it, btw.?

@prologic@twtxt.net If anything looks expensive, then it’s that. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net Cool! What program do you use to draw this up?

@thecanine@twtxt.net Nice! :-)

When tidying up my good mate’s birthday party site last night we emptied the beer pong cups which had been filled with just ordinary tap water. There was also a cute dog whose owner gave it its drinking bowl, but it was not interested. Just for fun I offered it one of those water cups and it began to drink. We all had to laugh so hard because it was completely unexpected and looked so funny. Can’t describe this comicalness of the situation. :-D

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Uuhh, I love this! Who’s that, what’s that song?

Been mucking around with designing my own camper (floor plan).

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz From what I grasped so far, you’re certainly heading for this for sure. :-)
