I remember about 10 years ago a trans guy in one of my classes was explaining that OnlyFans was pretty much his social media now, to the shock of everyone in the room. He said that while he was transitioning and needing support from other trans people to know what was normal or not during surgeries and hormone treatment, the only place he had found where everyone could show photos and be honest and descriptive was OnlyFans. The censors drive young people to porn sites by nuking their language.

If there's a ok-paying job out there that's basically "the one who fixes everything around here", I'd take it.

I can solder, work with wood, electronics, and leather, I can handle all sorts of paints, fix bicycles, get computers to behave, and many more little things.

If I learn how to weld, I'll be unstoppable

you don't fold fitted sheets

you just kind of ball them up. its fine

AFP wrote that once repairs stopped, owners were told they were on their own. When the maker walks away, a pet that runs on firmware and spare parts has nowhere to go.

If you own a gadget you love, ask now how long its maker will repair it. Save the manual and the software files while they are still online, and find an independent repair shop before the day the support ends. You will not get a notice that says the clock started.

A maker ends a product on its own schedule, and the owner pays for it. Plan for the end of support when you buy.

@davidgerard @zzt Maybe they prompted it wrong? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wikipedia says Doi told the crowd that the AIBO was a symbol of a risk-taking spirit at Sony that was now dead. A company's weird bets are the first thing to go when money gets tight, and the people who built them know it.

The real owners got a funeral too. AFP reported on a Buddhist ceremony in Japan for broken AIBOs and described it as a funeral like any other in Japan. NPR quoted the head priest, Bungen Oi, saying "All things have a bit of soul."

Owners had a reason to hold one.

Sony held a mock funeral for its AIBO robot dog, and more than 100 colleagues came...

Sony closed down its AIBO robot dog, and the line got a funeral. Wikipedia's Aibo article says Howard Stringer closed down AIBO and other robotic projects, and that Doi, the project's creator, then staged a mock funeral attended by more than 100 colleagues from Sony.

The point of it was bigger than the dog.

@Techmeme "criminality" is the pure essence of the federal administration at this time. Pedophile sex traffickers, human rights abusers, open war criminals, genocidaires -- criminality is the MOST common thing in the government today.

Hello all. I need some help here. I've been confronted twice with well meaning groups using Telegram for communication. In the past even activist groups. Have they been duped into thinking Telegram is secure? Have I been duped to hammer down on Signal? What are some arguments I should tell these groups about why I won't join their telegram group? (Please boost if you can.) Thank you 😃

@Geri @kimlockhartga
No reason stated. Though the FAA rolled out a new AI assistant for flights yesterday. National weather radar is down also. Is that why? is it hackers? Is it incompetence because of the doge firings? Is it connected to Microsoft? Is it connected to the upgraded DEFCON alert at military bases in Europe?! this is what it’s like living with this godless fucking administration

@rysiek @catsalad You're right, Michael - and thank you for pushing back hard on this. I absolutely should not have chosen this particular week to stop sniffing glue, as you have noted. Let's reset and look over what dates and times might actually work for both us, based on the various issues that you have brought to my attention.

@mcc @technomancy in many cases, the html has `data-testid="something-stable"` on useful elements, and`:has()` can select boxes outward from those elements

@dangillmor While the story mentions it, it is done as an afterthought. This is a win for BBC who said "as long as this thing is on, we have to right to demand a deposition".

Trump's made-for-TV SLAPP lawsuit will have to stop being fiction in a deposition, something Trump is allergic to. Claiming damages means he has to reveal details about his mafia-like business.

One other comment: I have seen NO reporting in the press about his wife and kids, which is a good thing.

Focus is on the scumbag, not the people he’s hurting.

No no no. We can’t have WWIII now I just started a large refactor.
