I'm happy to report that the glitches that could happen in #curl when you did more than 2.2 billion transfers in a single invoke are now history.

Does anyone have opinions about SourceHut? From my limited research, it seems much more ethical for source code hosting in a number of different ways than GitHub and GitLab.

That Substack allows spammers to stay and subscribe everyone to their spam blogs for them at will isn't news to me. My work's blacklist is full of them, all addressed to mail aliases that can't send mail.

That Substack is a Nazi bar, more literally than most social websites, both is news to me and explains so much else about it.

You know, I sometimes feel like I'm being kind of a bitch by refusing to subscribe to Substack newsletters, refusing to share Substack links. But this is why. Substack is a right-wing social media platform that uses its token left-wing writers and apolitical newsletters as cover. I don't want any part of that.

You don't find it funny that the people so concerned about "the children" can't be bothered to parent their own?

You can tell that capitalism is working because the first trillionaire is going to be someone who owns a car company that sells clown cars which fall apart when they’re not exploding and locking you in, a rocket company that builds exploding rockets, a tunnel company that does nothing, and the most antisocial social media platform there is.

I can't believe it hasn't been a whole month since the last time someone brought a spicy pillow to me for unrelated repair.

Today's good deed: Saving a customer from a spicy pillow. 

They brought an HP laptop to me because some keys didn't work & the screen had lines & flickering.

The battery was already so swollen that the front edge of the case had popped completely open between 2 of the front edge base screws. With their permission, I opened the case & removed the battery.

It put so much pressure on the plastic that the base popped free on its own with each base screw, & the battery jumped with each battery screw.

@maddy In this walk-in's case, they told me the fruit-shaped store's bar of geniuses did replace their battery once before, because it quit working, but the techs were so unphased by its swollen status that they didn't even mention any risk existed.

And yes, we do. Ending device owners' ability to remove those batteries themselves was an even worse idea.

What is with laptops turning their lithium ion batteries into swollen lithium ion batteries? More distressingly, what is with the computer customer support industry's general apathy, as if it was as harmless as an old mouse's worn-out button?
