That’s a nicely thought out system, hopefully it catches on.

I’d probably find more use in a TUI app that could help me with the more obscure options and give me the command. Then I could run it from the terminal and it would be in my history for next time. tldr but a wizard.

I was using it the other day, and it was far easier than the scary reputation deserves.

What’s to stop someone from getting AI to do it, or just replying “LGTM”?

How has Microsoft bollocksed up using SQLite?

You should! Or people who leave their empty wrappers in the tub with the uneaten chocolates/sweets.

Covid vaccination rates were higher in the UK than the rest of Europe and exposure to this fraud is credited as why. Brits had built up some immunity to vaccine FUD and had the lowest rate of vaccine hesitancy.

I take some glee in the fact that he’s not antivax, (just wanted people to use his) but now has to be a speaker at antivax conferences as they’re the only group who can stand him.

If people want to ask something that they don’t want tied to them, they should use a throwaway account. Scrapers will probably grab the text quickly (especially if they’re using ActivityPub) so it’s a false sense of security to do it days later.

It’s a meme format (a snowclone), of the form “It’s only X if it comes from the X region of France, otherwise it’s just sparking Y”. The original was talking about Champagne (and sparkling wine), which is why it’s France.

There’s lots of versions out there, of varying quality.

The severity of the vulnerability is low, due to the extremely niche requirements needed to achieve the attack.

Rust 1.96, to be released on May 28th, 2026

Ok, so it’ll get fixed soon enough and 99% of people don’t need to worry 👍

I have a bunch of identical-looking white USB3 cables that may or may not transmit any data at all, depending on what they arrived free with. I wish they had little colour bands on like fuses do.
