"coming soon".. written in 2009

every time i'm reading some post on rms' website and i'm thinking to myself "hmm this is a reasonable position" i get to the part where he uses his own made-up gender neutral personal pronouns which nobody else anywhere has adopted and i recall that this seemingly reasonable article came out of the mind of a completely unreasonable person and i have to change the channel and go render something with nonfree javascript to get rid of the gross feeling

rms himself writes (in (3)) about why the AGPL is nonfree.

if reading this doesn't make you angry at software people, i don't know what will

it's like this because *they designed it like this*.

there should be a single command in debian/ubuntu/etc to rebuild your kernel using the patchset from upstream and anything in like /etc/kernelpatches.d/ applied. there isn't.

however i installed this version of ungoogled-chromium (flatpak? snap? appimage? whatever overengineered-flavor-of-the-day-that-doesn't-actually-fix-the-problem?) has terrible tearing when playing back fullscreen video on a normal/recent ubuntu with a normal/recent nvidia video card. everything else on the system works fine. this is fine

what's a good ready-to-deploy headless cms that works with jekyll? ideally it can clone a repo and run "jekyll build" and some custom ssh/scp/rsync/whatever command to publish on edit.

i'm thinking of writing one because i don't know of a good option.

what's the cheapest mobile provider in germany? i'm getting fucked over by o2.

it's amazing to me how many emails i get from startups that assume that by dropping their name i have any idea who they are or what they do or why they exist.

just because i have a login on your site doesn't mean i remember or care who you are. you have to reintroduce yourself in the first paragraph.

redbubble's unsubscribe-from-spamming-me-because-i-bought-a-thing-one-time landing page plays a gif of a unicorn's horn breaking off when you choose the "unsubscribe from all" option.

fuck you, redbubble.

when did newsweek turn right-wing partisan?

youtube now marketing censorship as a feature

the difference between me and erdös is that i don't get $500 at the end of february

it's sort of astounding how stupid people are

does node-pre-gyp (used by sqlite3 to download precompiled binaries) do hash verification?

if i were the nsa/cia and wanted to backdoor infrastructure, i'd have a thing built into s3 (cia is a large aws customer, mind you) that allows me to selectively serve backdoored binaries into node process space via the mapbox-node-binary bucket.

yeah it's the sqlite3 package, when running "node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build".

node-pre-gyp http GET https://mapbox-node-binary.s3.amazonaws.com/sqlite3/v5.0.2/napi-v3-darwin-x64.tar.gz

guess it's downloading the precompiled sqlite3, and not the node binary.
