"What is happening at Boeing is happening in every industry. A general trend toward financialisation & hedge fund culture that sees only numbers, not peoples lives or wellbeing. It's just that aviation has a way of making the corruption impossible to hide. It's the dead canary." - Ben King

@rail_ Agree, I've wanted to remap Win+C to my favorite calculator program for so long on my Windows install, but it won't let me.

How Windows users can even live without Linux keyboard shortcuts/layout

That's barbaric

Dear Excellent Fediversian Who Recommended Timer Pill Bottle Caps: a thousand times thank you! These things are genius. SO many times (just now, for example) the timers have saved my brain-fogged ass from double-dosing. All technology should be this useful.

Imagine having a queue of 600+ links of stuff to see later

it's been a few years but this is still one of my favourite GIFs ever

I now see the true purpose of life, it's kissing girls and cuddling with girls

@mynotaurus as far as i'm concerned though it's already paid for itself because it gave me the gift of this photo which i got to post with the caption "this is the future liberals want"

Fediverse 0day (not verified but 99% sure it works):

Toot something with content ppl will support and boost in the html but something horrible in the plain text or vice versa.

This inspired by instances that put all the @'s in html so they don't get rendered right on reader's instance. 🤬

The right fix is for the receiving/interpreting instance to attempt to align content between the versions and warn or show both if they don't clearly align (and maybe always have a feature to toggle which is shown). I know I hate getting html toots that are just "plain text but in an ugly font" too...

Heads-up FOSS maintainers!

There is a person sending bulk patches/PRs to FOSS projects for supposed issues "Found by RASU JSC" (not sure if that's a static analysis tool itself, or some org).

The patches I've received are all very, VERY wrong formulatic changes, maybe even LLM-generated, doing things as stupid as replacing sprintf(s, fmt, ...) with snprintf(s, sizeof s, fmt, ...) where s has pointer type.

If you've accepted any such patches, review carefully & possibly revert!
