Until recently I thought that human waste wasn’t used for fertilizer, but I learned that it is. The water treatment plant separates the solids out, composts them, and then it’s sold as “biosolids” to spray on the crop fields.
Let this be your reminder to wash your veggies before eating them!
In case anyone reading this didn’t know: direct sunlight can cause your VR headset lenses to act like a magnifying glass, burning your precious LCD in a moment, if the light hits it right.
If you’re in Canada those nastygrams are merely scare tactics, generally.
Why?
That used to be what Microsoft (Internet Explorer) was famous for. I guess Chrome has lived long enough to be the villain, but Firefox is still the hero to me.
I mean… the official Reddit app was so bad that they had to charge for API access in order to get real market share.
M CPUs make me a believer in ARM and other non-x86 chips, but preferably RISC-V in the long term.
Keyboard is critical to me. I can work on a MacBook keyboard short term but something like a Glove80 or at least an Ergodox is critical for me in the long term.
Also OS X Unix is nix enough for me.
Kitboga has some videos where he integrates Neal’s password game into a fake bank password reset UI, and gets the scammers to play the game. It’s one of the GOAT scambait videos.
I loved BB10. It had gesture-based navigation years ahead of its time, the Hub was the best notification system I’ve ever used, and it could run Android apps alongside BB10-native apps. It helped that I liked the form factor of the devices with physical keyboards, too.
Nowadays can choose between a large, glass rectangle, and an extra-large, glass rectangle in one of two flavours: Apple and Android. It’s no coincidence that Android has become more restrictive in terms of control over your own device, as the competition has dwindled and thinned.

I’d love to see the state of online banking if everyone were to manage their own ssh keys
Most people couldn’t figure out how to download a binary release from a GitHub repo, much less clone it, regardless of HTTP or SSH.
SSH keys are more like passkeys than passwords.
I think this post is about git CLI, not www.github.com.
SSH keys are very secure and you can still encrypt them with a password if you wish.
I was over 900 on several torrents before switching clients about a year ago. I have a few in the 300s now.
Atomicity: either all parts of the transaction complete, or all parts of the transaction don’t complete; there’s no “partly complete” state
Consistency: the state of the database after a transaction is stable; all “downstream” effects (e.g. triggers) of the query are complete before the transaction is confirmed.
Isolation: concurrent transactions behave the same as sequential transactions
Durability: a power failure or crash won’t lose any transactions
Traditionally, ACID is where relational databases shine.
Wow, I’d love to Kyll myself on a hot, summer’s day!
I guess not too different from pr0n, h4x, etc. Maybe a tale as old as time?

You can pop out threads with a command click in Slack, but I don’t know if you can change that to the default behaviour.
