Hmm, glitch in the Fediverse for my users, sorry all. Not sure what happened, but hopefully it is back to normal again.

The GDPR has an equivalent principle in terms of the withdrawal of consent, yes.

The best definition of Roskomnadzor (Russian internet regulator) that I have ever seen.

⭐⭐⭐

"- Of course Roskomnadzor is not doing it by themselves, they get instructions from up there. But I am curious, are they doing anything useful at all?

- Of course, if you are a farmer and you bought an electric fence, it will be of a great help for you, and if you are a cow, it will only be electroshock in your face

- That's the best description of Roskomnadzor I ve ever seen"

today, a lot of CEOs are questioning whether their extramarital partners are only with them because they’re spies extracting high level secrets or if it’s because they genuinely love them for their money

Perhaps men should not be in leadership positions because they are distracted by sexy ladies too easily.*

*This is a parody of red scare anti-gay notions and only 1/3 serious or about current events.

Dating is so bad that the only ones still making an effort are foreign intelligence services

@nolan how does it feel? how has this affected your collaboration with others?

@lauren as someone who is not very well versed in the electoral system in the us, I understand that the number of votes thay separate the contestants is very small. Doesn't this mean that you might end up with another debate like the one that led to the first bush regime?

Hive mind who uses Thunderbird: The latest release, 153, has removed the ability to bulk subscribe to IMAP folders. You have to click the checkboxes one by one. This is a UX disaster, as our new employees have to subscribe to hundreds of existing folders. Surely there's a better way?

(In particular, the click-on-first, shift-click-on-last trick now no longer works.)

There's a dipshit computer geek on the internet, and I need to react right away.

Perhaps we all misunderstood Jensen Huang when he said that we should be embracing agents in this age of AI.

A first Pattern Draft was created with Seamly2D for some lovely diy plushies.

Here I just traced the Logos and had the programm add the normal seam allowance of 1cm. This is just for a test really.

Watching a video on how to make plushies out of a 2D-Drawing I did already learn that one might need to make the thing a little bigger because of the stuffing.

For now I just stuck with tracing the pattern as is. The idea on size was about 16cm. We will see how this first test will turn out lol. Learning new stuff I guess.

It does sound like a fun little project. Especially the face of the floofer. Some Applique will be used there.

Looking Forward for the test. Doing stuff DIY is very much a hacker thing to do. So I will release the patterns and instructions later when I feel like the plushies come out acceptable to me.

So maybe you can make your own easy plushies.

a dipshit is comfortable with slavery so long as it further his goals. other people voice their disagreement. do you:

• join the chorus of people who don't like slavery
• stay out of it because it has nothing to do with you
• publicly support the dipshit, declare that nothing is more important than the copyright status of computer programs, and make a complete ass of yourself on the internet for no gain
