Portada de LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO
We need a word for real-life enshittification caused by online culture. Like being unable to find an organisation’s info because they’ve Instagram but no website. Or panicked people being sent a videolink to download to their phone when they ring for an ambulance. Or being excluded from residents' association news if you're not on Facebook. Or having cash payment refused. Or staff in the business you’re physically standing in telling you to find the answer to your question on their website.
How every privatisation works:
1. Cut staff, increase prices, add debt, reduce services & restrict improvements.
2. Call the false savings 'profit' & syphon it from the business to shareholders.
3. Blame market conditions.
4. If the company fails, let taxpayers bail it out.

Gracias por [re]descubrirme este artículo.
The Price of Salt is, in my opinion, a very beautiful novel. The recent movie Carol, featuring Cate Blanchett and Roonie Mara, is based in this book and rather faithful.
Highsmith's crime novels like Strangers on a Train are also brilliant.
All Highsmith's work is very recommendable. The Ripley series are very good books, special The Talented Mr. Ripley and Ripley's Game (which also was made into two movies: one by Wim Venders and a later one, better in my opinion, by Liliana Cavani featuring John Malkovich).
This _Plain Soleil_ french movie has a very different ending that the book and the remake movie that I consider more interesting and shocking.
indent or just reformatting the code isn't also 'literally identical' 🤦every part of this tweet is insane lol
for context, eightsleep is a ""smart"" mattress that tracks you, and apparently SF techbros use it a lot. Very nice of their ceo to illustrate their total disregard of privacy.
that said, it is also fucking hilarious that the data apparently does show that the techbros in SF are losing sleep over the openai drama lol

tweet by ceo: Breaking news: The OpenAI drama is real.
We checked our data and last night, SF saw a spike in low-quality sleep. There was a 27% increase in people getting under 5 hours of sleep. We need to fix this.

Didn't realize my wireless plan capped tethering speeds, but now it makes sense. When your phone gets ~10-15 mbps and your tethered computer gets .5 or .6 consistently, you know they're screwing w/ the service you paid for.
Welp, I'm ashamed it took me this long to realize, but changing the TTL on my computer seems to have released the throttling.

A reminder. Religion and traditions are just peer pressure from dead people who maybe have never even existed.
Yo creo que todo esta ralea fascista está haciendo más a favor de un gobierno progresista que ningún esfuerzo de la izquierda.

estoy en shock.
Ningún creyente individual es responsableLas únicas religiones que no causan daño son las que ya no tienen ni un solo creyente. Así que cada creyente sí es un poco responsable.

Feria del libro de Majadahonda, presentación del YO NO SOY PAVEL de Ángel Ortega
Don't forget to read the guide before upgrading:
I accidentally dropped it on a client's facilities and cracked a marble floor. No kidding.
So, if the instruments are the hardware and the toolkit, and the interpreter is the compiler, then it's more or less true that music is the object and the sheets are the source.
Similarly, one may consider a MIDI file source code for music.
This exactly.

This is Ángel Ortega, crime and horror fiction writer and former systems programmer (on space, avionics and cryptography environments).
My first contact with a #UNIX system was on 1989 on a Sun Sparcstation 2 running #SunOS. I discovered #Linux on 1993 with the SLS distribution. I ditched all Microsoft software on 1999 and moved all my computers to Linux and never looked back.
My first encounter with #OpenBSD (inside a VM) was circa 2015. I was debugging a ground station software that was complicated as hell and had some memory leaks and was driving me mad; a friend of mine recommended compiling my beast on OpenBSD because the memory management is very different and it immediately crashed on a place I never expected. That filled my heart with bliss.
My first experience with OpenBSD in real hardware was on a laptop in 2020. Everything worked (except Bluetooth because, you know, there is no Bluetooth support on OpenBSD). I finally had to install Linux on that laptop because of reasons and my heart was a bit broken.
I now have OpenBSD on a tiny Toshiba NB 200. It's 32 bit, so no Firefox for poor old Ángel, but I don't really care because I used it mostly for fiction writing and remote server maintenance while on coffee shops, libraries or parks. Battery usage is great. Everything works like a charm.
I love OpenBSD because it's compact. It makes me feel like on a vintage UNIX system, simple and solid. Native tools and servers share lookalike configuration files. Man pages are awesome af. It includes a C compiler in its base system and that means "I am a real Operating System" to me. I love security is one of its main goals. OpenBSD hackers are brilliant, stubborn, unique people.
I don't love the filesystem.
I don't care that it's a bit slower than other OSes.
If you haven't tried OpenBSD, do it this October.
