"Liberation Day" Trump’s Tariffs on Europe in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The current thinking is that these tariffs were drawn up by ChatGPT, and it's used a list of top-level domains (like .io and .hm) instead of countries.

Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky in c/[email protected]

Mm, reminds me of the old world of IRC. I still remember fondly when I asked for help installing FreeBSD, and got banned with a message of "try linux".

So I did, never looked back. (Until I got a Mac at least, which counts as a BSD.)

Jimmy Carter Achieves His Goal, Lives Long Enough to Vote for Kamala Harris in c/[email protected]

It's not all roses and rainbows: Thatcher was a chemical engineer, and the only thing she engineered while in power was the downfall of England as a world power.

I Am Not Always Very Attached To Being Alive: Living With Passive Suicidal Ideation (theoutline.com)
 

At 27, I’ve settled into a comfortable coexistence with my suicidality. We’ve made peace, or at least a temporary accord negotiated by therapy and medication. It’s still hard sometimes, but not as hard as you might think. What makes it harder is being unable to talk about it freely: the weightiness of the confession, the impossibility of explaining that it both is and isn’t as serious as it sounds. I don’t always want to be alive. Yes, I mean it. No, you shouldn’t be afraid for me. No, I’m not in danger of killing myself right now. Yes, I really mean it.

How do you explain that?

I'm the author of an April Fool's Internet Standard, AMA (lemmy.world)
 

Let's get the AMAs kicked off on Lemmy, shall we.

Almost ten years ago now, I wrote RFC 7168, "Hypertext Coffeepot Control Protocol for Tea Efflux Appliances" which extends HTCPCP to handle tea brewing. Both Coffeepot Control Protocol and the tea-brewing extension are joke Internet Standards, and were released on Apr 1st (1998 and 2014). You may be familiar with HTTP error 418, "I'm a teapot"; this comes from the 1998 standard.

I'm giving a talk on the history of HTTP and HTCPCP at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin later this month, and I need an FAQ section; AMA about the Internet and HTTP. Let's try this out!
