^^ He bought it to kill it. It's the only thing that makes any sense.
@Finite187 Makes better TV that way.
@Dirt Likely a network problem of some kind. It seems to stick to the left side when it can’t get any data.
@DrJackBrown Not a built in way but I’d check out the Dark Reader browser plug-in. It can make light websites dark and dark websites light. I personally use it to dark mode everything.
@guinnessphil I am a dark mode devotee, but I can vouch for the Dark Reader plugin. I use it to make the whole internet dark, but it can also do the reverse. Why you’d want that, I can’t imagine. You do you.
@paulcuddles Nah, I tell myself that every year. Go for it.
Went looking on the web for help solving a problem today and found an article with example code that looks extremely similar to code from one of my own public repos.
@VoteandMask You can totally reply. It’s the little round arrow button. On the website it changes the post box on the left side of the screen to include the name of the person you’re replying to. There isn’t a pop up or anything.
I’ve been using the Toot! app on my phone for CoSo for quite awhile now, but today it stopped working. Seemed like it stopped being able to refresh its OAuth access token. Finally broke down and got the CoSo app. Happy with it so far. Bring on that firehose! #cosotips
@antisocial It is Mastadon under the hood but it’s heavily modified and not fully compatible anymore. It feels the same sometimes but I’d consider it as something different.

@CoSoTips Unsolicited opinion: I just joined a week or two ago (idk I lost track) and went pro instantly because I LOVE being the customer, not just product with legs.

If your company is using the "PreCrime Network" of bfore.ai , or quad9 for DNS (which use their blocklist), you might want to be aware that the "0.05% false positive rate" appears to be #SecuritySnakeOil .
I started looking into this new service when a site I manage for a non-profit got blocked by them and, by proxy, quad9 (which I use for DNS on my home network). It seems they use some sort of machine learning model to try to identify which sites might "become" malicious. #thread #infosec 1/x

It’s meant to be a spectacle, dismantling something people care about.
He imagines himself a digital conqueror, sacking online communities and driving waves of cyber vandalism.
Watching though, it seems more like the emperor tearing off his own imaginary clothes.
Grotesquely clownish and repugnant, an obvious failure unable to face reality.
@WilliamBass It's usually in the middle for me or slightly toward the green. I've seen it go all the way red due to network issues before. I've also seen it in the red (but not all the way) on days when there was some really bad world-affecting news, or something like that that everyone was upset about.
@sfleetucker No, he's actually very nice. My kid was just into band-aids that day for some reason. 5 year olds are weird as fuck.
We’ve all heard that the mark of a senior engineer is answering every question with “It depends…” but I’d like to introduce you to another one of my favorites that has been the theme of my day today:
“Wait, so how did this ever work?”
It’s acknowledging that it did work at one time and you are realizing that you don’t understand how. Instead of forging ahead to “fix” it, you should go back and learn how it used to work first so that you know what to do. #cosocode

Friends on twitter urging to “stay and resist”. Um, the act of leaving and taking followers with me to #CoSo is resistance. We are the product, if we aren’t on twitter, then there is no product(data) to sell to marketers.
@etakeh I’ve seen people make chutes out of plastic drainpipe to drop candy from a height like that, lol.
