Hacker Banner Ads Are Totally Wild - Motherboard https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/pa5vwb/hacker-banner-ads-are-totally-wild

Protip: leave recordings of old public access TV in languages you don’t speak on youtube on in the background, in order to encourage incorrect inferences & poorly targeted ads

Also found that adding sorting = ascending to the config file shows the most recent post last better for simple terminal viewing.

No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons » The Adorable Optimism of the IPCC. https://www.rifters.com/crawl/?p=8433

Love it we have a “contract” developer but he is not in the right group to push commits to the code repo. When I suggested that he be added to the right group one of the other developers was like that will give him access to everything. I’m sorry but what is everything? It’s not like he can pull from any of the repos as it is. Right now he just can’t commit.

It really pisses me off when people use ‘infinite’ to mean ‘really big’. If something’s actually infinite, adding more to it produces the same number (like in Hilbert’s hotel)

Why targeted Facebook ads are so weirdly personal - Vox https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/9/25/17887796/facebook-ad-targeted-algorithm

The global economy: gamblers betting on the effectiveness of bad assumptions made based on wide but shallow surveillance in influencing the distribution of ads that don’t work for products that nobody wants and nobody can afford to people who are using adblock.

@sdk@codevoid.de Well I’ve added the special datetime to my kitbashed client. I store the URL it gets but I’m not doing anything with it right now.

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org: Check my tw.txt file. The specification does not allow a comment. I’ve added this now: 1970-01-01T01:00:00.000000Z▸FF:https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt. I’d use the special date/time + FF: comment as trigger. This is backwards compatible and shouldn’t really come up in anyones’ timeline.

Any thoughts about decentralized ways to discover twtxt users? I’ve set up https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt which is my following list plus whatever comes in via user-agent. If everybody would set this up with the with an added .following we could fetch each others list and discover users that way.

Worst IAP ever. 15sec w/o ads? really? gopher://codevoid.de/I/p/IMG_5270.png

I always thought about putting together some sort of micro-blog/journal where I can post my daily brainfarts and list them on my webpage. Now, after adding twtxt to my page I have exactly that. It’s kind of cool.

…and I’ve also added my last tweets to my gopher hole. I don’t know why, but this makes me happy.

Hot take: almost all ACTUAL statements encountered in daily life are untestable except in an ad-hoc & ambiguous way, because their referents don’t map well to physical reality.
