Tell me you don't understand the point of Mastodon without telling me you don't understand the point of Mastodon.

Do non-Europeans not let their children outside? Or are you suggesting that non-Europeans make everyone else keep their kids inside out of fear?

You can't control a society without keeping them afraid, so roll that tape of predators, kidnappers, gangs, and drug pushers!

What? A child doing something without adult supervision? Next thing you know they'll start thinking for themselves, asking uncomfortable questions, or looking for forbidden books in the library. Better call the cops and accuse them of vandalism or something.

The the tar tar pits.

(La Brea means "the tar").

A bit west of downtown, too, but I'm an annoying pedant.

Ha. My first job in '89 was working for an FFRDC reviewing IBM's Jovial code that was going to "revolutionize ATC" by modernizing everything.

I'm gonna guess that code never went into production. The problem seems easy until you start looking under the hood.

A lot of the restricted stuff is cargo-cult fear of symbols that could be used in SQL-injection or XSS attacks.

A properly-coded system wouldn't care, but the people who write the rules have read old OWASP documents and in there they saw these symbols were somehow involved in big scary hacks that they didn't understand. So it's easier to ban them.

It was earlier than the 90s, and came with popular 8-bit CPUs in the 80s. The Z-80 microprocessor could address 64kb (which was 65,536 bytes) on its 16-bit address bus.

Similarly, the 4104 chip was a "4kb x 1 bit" RAM chip and stored 4096 bits. You'd see this in the whole 41xx series, and beyond.

Ignoring all this drama.

But I've always found Paul to be a good guy, who was helpful and honest and provided a great product. Teensy is a great platform, and it's too bad these other players will have a negative impact on it.

How hard would it be to extend this to support bulk export of Apple Notes?

Those who know how to fix the messes made by AI today will replace those who don't tomorrow.

Agreed. Prince also has a lot of good features for headers, footers, page numbering, etc, that make it very powerful.

It's not like Imgur didn't finance with ads. They did that for a long time. Dunno if it paid the bills. The latest kerfuffle is because they were bought and the new owners fired all the moderators in favor of "AI moderation."

If you're not part of a group that will suffer under a white-supremecist theocracy they look very similar.

If you're part of a group that will, there is a visible difference.

Picking the lesser evil is actually a good thing if you can reduce harm. It doesn't solve the problem of it being a lesser evil, but it may make space to change that.

Any idea how long Experts should take to import/index data? I pointed an expert at a big directory of source files on a M4 iMac with 32G RAM, and it pinned a CPU at 100% for 24 hours but was not finished.

A single file seems to finish quickly, but folders (even with just a few files) seem to be very slow.
