Qui t’autorise à me tutoyer ?

I’m liking all the comments saying that [even despite its strong decline in quality], Google’s results are still much better than others’. I’ve been moving around a lot to other search engines lately and thought I’ve been doing something wrong.

Nothing more attractive than folks wearing sexuality-agnostic clothes. Especially if they realize “appearing ‘gay’ ” is nothing to be ashamed of.

So what? What’s it matter if people think I’m straight?

Because git doesn’t require, but could definitely benefit from, empty initial commits, my go-to is:

git init
git commit -m='🌳 root commit' --allow-empty
git tag v0.0.0 -am=''
git add -A
git commit -m='✨ initial commit'
git tag v0.0.1 -am=''

which is completely Nver- and Y2K-compliant

I don’t have anything against the straights. I’m not a heterophobe – I’m a real cool dude — but when those people talk about not washing their asses, it’s only natural for us to feel a little bit of heterophobia against their lifestyle.

So… yes? We could put both in?

When you can smell the rotten vegetables on NYC sidewalks start to cook in the middle of the summer, you change from Fahrenheit to Rankine

Thank you for your service.

Next time someone complains about cancel culture, let’s all remember to enlighten them about Gym fucking Jordan, whose ethical bankruptcy has gone unpunished and almost seems forgotten.

That’s a typo of the cleverest variety considering the millions of human-hours of misery and self harm that occurred after

• hundreds of athletes were sexually abused at the school where he was a wrestling coach and
• Jordan became aware of the abuse, and even worse than saying nothing, he also begged victims and their families to deny it as well

In the olden days, Yahoo shuttered some of the largest digital properties on the internet with too little notice for them to be meaningfully archived (especially Yahoo Groups (easily the Reddit and Fediverse of its day) and Geocities (at a time before social media, a place to make a corner of the internet one’s own, it had mountains of longform geekery that’s now lost forever)).

Yahoo also used to be one of most widely used free email providers. Not as ubiquitous as Gmail, but definitely very popular. During that time, they had at least two – and almost certainly more than four – instances where bad actors gained access to user accounts and Yahoo failed to immediately notify impacted users.

This one time, they admitted that all their user email addresses, which then numbered in the billions, had been compromised by a years-old hack whose disclosure they seem to have withheld. The same thing happened a few months later, but affected only some email addresses. For the latter event, they were proven to have withheld discovery of the breach.

There was this one journalist whose email details they gave to the Chinese government to enable his arrest. Then they lied about it to Congress.

And while the NSA likely listens to every piece of data available to them, which trivially and almost effortlessly includes emails, and while Yahoo is one of the tech companies whose NSA PRISM membership is documented, Yahoo additionally performed scans for crime-adjacent keywords on all its users’ incoming and outgoing emails for years.

Yes, but not worse than Yahoo[.]

It is a happy coincidence that the evening before the 1970s began, at 4pm Pacific, they decided to invent UNIX.
