  1. According to ChainPatrol, a website that a) has an invalid certificate and b) returns "403 Unauthorized" if the certificate validation is ignored, is phishing another website.

    Now we need to dispute these claims to the hosting provider despite the obviously bogus abuse report ChainPatrol sent.

    Edit: Our domain and brand is 20 years older than the site we supposedly phish.

  2. @fulelo that makes the lack of acknowledgement in the rest of the organisation worse, because it's an editorial choice not to.

  3. 7 cops.
    2 × 1 hour
    5 × 1.5 hours

    Standing around in the sun because too many melanated people are gathering, talking about the harms police cause.

    To be clear, there are at least 9 speccons from Queen's Park here lest the darkies get rowdy, but TPS wants theirs, too.

    Shitlibs! If you ever wonder why your wait times are so high, this is why.

  4. Je viens de passer une heure à vérifier et corriger des modifications faites par mes élèves pendant mon cours de SNT sur openstreetmap.org/. 😠 Je comprends pourquoi je n'avais pas fait cette séance depuis deux ans…

    Non, notre lycée n'est ni une église, ni une synagogue. 🙄

    C'est épuisant. Je ne suis pas sûr de le refaire l'an prochain…

  5. Damn, forgot to bring my contraband Coke Zero cap to the #TDGarden. Because basketball and hockey fans apparently can't be trusted not to pelt players with them. #ThisIsWhyWeCantHaveNiceThings #Celtics

  6. TIL about #OpenSlopware a growing list of FLOSS projects entering the #enshitocene with plagiarism-as-a-service:

    small-hack/open-slopware: Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM developers/developed by genAI boosters, along with alternatives. Fork of the repo by @gen-ai-transparency after its deletion. - Codeberg.org
    codeberg.org/small-hack/open-s

    the #Linux kernel? really?!?!?

  7. Visiting Philadelphia? Our mass transit system includes trolleys. Trolleys run on rail tracks, along the same streets cars use.

    Don't park on the trolley tracks.

    Don't park so close to the tracks that trolleys can't get through.

  8. Someone at Google posted a meme celebrating the possibility of Sergey and Larry becoming the first trillionaires, and I couldn't let that one pass by - it got an #EndBillionaires response with a little more text, and then I started getting replies from my supposedly intelligent colleagues basically arguing for trickle down economics. Didn't we debunk that decades ago? #ThisIsWhyWeCantHaveNiceThings

  9. Monday morning toot: Released 'This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things' - an audio deep-dive into why mocktails cost more than dignity and cruise ships are basically floating crime scenes. Perfect for your anti-capitalist Monday mood. Boost if you've ever questioned a $14 drink price. player.captivate.fm/show/3f74a

  10. Okay, I have finally reached my limit with the f5g AI crawlers. Time to start running Nepenthes. While I'm looking into that, does anyone have any alternatives they'd care to suggest?

  11. The HSE has a pay bill of over €5 billion so net overpayments of less than €1 million a year seems pretty good.

    You wouldn’t know it from government-is-bad media coverage this morning which goes with a headline figure of €14M, buried the “over six years” bit down the article and the fact that they recoup most of it even further down. #iepol #thisiswhywecanthavenicethings

  12. How are gas based leaf blowers not illegal worldwide yet?

    Nevermind… I’m in :usa_distress: it will probably be mandatory to use them at least 2x a week soon

  13. My city offers a $500 rebate if you add insulation to your house.

    Local insulation companies have raised prices by $500 and then they tell their customers how to apply for the rebate.

    The rebate has become a subsidy for the insulation company instead of an incentive for the homeowner.

    Capitalism at work. #ThisIsWhyWeCantHaveNiceThings

  14. Great win for @noybeu - noyb.eu/en/noyb-win-dutch-auth 🥳

    But I've always suspected that Netflix would be up to no good with our data.

    🙄 another fun service I'll have to cancel *sigh*

  15. The story CBS News did was aired in 2019. Not much has changed.

  16. I pity the poor sods at SNCF who are going to spend the next 36hours fusion splicing.

    "SNCF says the saboteurs either vandalised or tried to vandalise five signal boxes and electricity installations on Friday.
    ...
    a "massive, large-scale attack aimed at paralysing" its services, involving arson and theft targeting cabling"
