Yes, it sounds that way, but the event you (and they) describe has never happened.

> They go quiet or form a tiny invite only groups to hide after an attempt to do something good that backfired because their skin is the wrong colour or they aren’t trans.

It really sounds like they accidentally offended someone, the person who was offended was so much so that they couldn't communicate why they were offended, and then your friends misinterpreted the issue.

I thought one of the really important rules of using format strings was that you never let user input itself enter the format string, e.g. you'd never (shellscript examples) go printf "$input" versus printf "%s" "$input". But security experts are shrugging this off? This is a basic bug that went into production on an OS that millions of people use - any lack of care should be a reputation hit.

8chan if I recall formed because 4chan did away with /pol/ way way back for being too toxic to the rest of the site (it's meant to contain the scum, not breed it). 4chan eventually re-added /pol/, and 8chan, well, you know the rest there.

4chan might've cracked down on the racism, like, a decade ago, in the moot era. Have you been there lately? /pol/ took over and basically homogenized every board.

Interesting. I've lost a lot of weight (at my lightest in years) since 2020-01-01, when my New Years' Resolution was to do 16:8 IF. Eventually left the subreddit for it because it seemed like it was goading people into forming eating disorders (which are often competetive, which is why you won't get numbers in this comment) though I kept on it until school re-started in September when I started cheating a little.

IF was probably not what caused me to lose weight. What caused me to lose weight was the mindfulness of my food intake that I developed while intermittently fasting. I significantly cut my caloric intake while remaining moderately physically active and am in much better shape for it (athletic I am not but I am fortunate to be able to walk 3-4hrs a day to and from work and additionally whenever I need groceries etc).

I wouldn't recommend IF to anyone because it can develop into an eating disorder and you are never in as much control as you think. After browsing that subreddit I doubt the odds of dieting successfully (as in, losing weight while maintaining health) are very good.

Obligatory: I am not a nutritionist, dietician, or professionally anywhere close to the health field.

ffmpeg as a service seems neat... ffmpeg itself isn't super intuitive and beefier files heat my laptop up pretty bad. The only issues would be the usual ones regarding figuring out load distribution between servers, figuring out how to process DMCAs so as to make Disney and others' leeches happy, figuring out how to process requests to snipe illegal content, etc. (issues are plenty, but surmountable).

Bonus points for a FOSS self-hostable site. The thing that keeps me from using other sites is the awful and proprietary JS/etc there. If I have a laptop that can't run ffmpeg very well why am I expected to be able to run Chrome with more than 4GB RAM?

Use proprietary services, get proprietary service. It can't be any surprise, can it? Discord is well known for doing the same.

Many of those are hotlinked to WayBack Machine backups of this page. 88x31s are still in use on the better parts of the web, particularly hobbyist neocities pages. I made two myself on the root of my site. There's a certain creativity necessary to work within <3000px that's mostly gone from the corporatized web today.

> Nothing is ever _really_ deleted on the good old-fashioned internet either.

Tell that to folks doing web archival.

> Sadly though, Mail Privacy Protection isn’t a win-win for all. A lot of content creators today run independent newsletters. Knowing click open rates is a valuable metric to gauge if their work resonates. It also assists in bringing sponsorships and make a living without selling ads. To their dismay, Apple has created a hole in the newsletter business.

It seems to me that hosting and tracking as many 1x1 images as newsletter recipients you have would take a sizeable amount of computer resources. Wouldn't this mean that the playing field is instead, in this respect, now slightly more level between those who have and those who have not?

And how many opt in just because the choices are "Manage site permissions... / Allow all"

Perhaps, but this doesn't discount the article's arguments.
