, the version a quarter century newer than the first NT, will let you do absolutely everything with wi-fi networks from the command prompt. Everything, that is, except connect to a wi-fi network Windows has never connected to before.

Which means it's impossible to access network shares in the Advanced Startup Options Command Prompt when ethernet isn't an option.

husky just did some shit i guess 

so husky just removed the warning system i was talking about yesterday? uploaded images say "tusky" instead now "to prevent harassment of our users"

hmmmm

on the bright side, they actually restored their gab block?????? but uh, they removed spinster from the blocklist and replaced it with *checks notes* a bunch of completely normal instances including octodon and hellsite, which they describe as "worse than gab by any means"

also if you look at the post im replying to, they linked the commit where they did that as "a commit proof for sjw shitheads"

yeaaaaah. don't use husky :blobcattilt:​

Real Husky rant hours 

And "cybre users are much worse than gab users?" How the fuck? Literally the only people who use gab versus anything else is neo-nazis. There's no reason for anyone else to use it. We fucking gets harrassed by instance users similar to gab all the god damn time.

Real Husky rant hours 

So I've mostly moved to pleroma. Husky's supposed to be the best pleroma based app, and that the anti-SJW rep it's got is supposedly unwarranted and is mostly because of association. Makes sense, sure.

Then this fucking update happens. Whatever fucking argument they had about it just being a misunderstood association is out the fucking window now

How the World’s Largest Garbage Dump Evolved Into a Green Oasis: nytimes.com/2020/08/14/nyregio

The radical fix for a noxious landfill in Staten Island: Bury the trash, plant some grass and do nothing for 20 years.

(Freshkills didn't start as an ecological "undo human harm" project, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be turned into one.)

"The Cybersecurity 202: Zoom sued by consumer group for misrepresenting its encryption protections": washingtonpost.com/politics/20

Zoom has bothered me for months, going from obscure shiny to mission-critical app in half a year with nothing but bad news when anything even touching on its security gets reported. Sometimes that news is regular bad, & sometimes it's zany bad.

With Biden's pick of Kamala Harris as his VP, the leadership of the Democratic Party has made its position clear:

The Republicans will burn the country to the ground, and the Democrats will bring the campfire forks and marshmallows.

another short JS rant 

Please stop using JavaScript to reinvent CSS.

At the very least, if you've used enough CSS to change the style and color of a block of text, please go the extra baby step and give that block a decently contrasting background color in CSS as well.
