nice

exciting news for people who want tentacles in their lives

pfft more like exciting news for robot furries

it was just a bad take on how wordpress isn't that popular

I mean, let's not discount the corporate mismanagement prior to pornban, though it certainly was an unique masterstroke.

porn officially worth $1,097,000,000

tumblr is basically on life support at this point

what has wordpress done that makes you say that though? i've never really used it

I'm just somewhat worried I lose all my content now since its worth to the company must be about 0.000001$. I mean, on lots of blogs you can't even access tags anymore.

wordpress is where blogging platforms go to die

they tried to present this at blackhat lmao

releasing a fork of photoshop called 'poopshit' to protest adobe's PC gone wild product naming

good!

the project has a lot of old c code so i'm not surprised nobody's taken on the mantle yet lol

oh this was so long overdue!

also fascists are very mad about this

damn finally!

I see value in this piece, but I still think it's overly negative. Nation states with almost unlimited surveillance capabilities is worrisome and do not mean to slight that, but it's operating on leaky bucket model.

A bucket leaks if it has a single small hole somewhere below the waterline. Security of computer systems is sometimes thought about along the same lines in that attackers only need to find a single vulnerability but defenders need to protect against them all. But this ignores resource constraints. Your defenses only need to be strong enough to deter potential attackers, to be too difficult to bother with, to be too costly to breach. There are targets that are "too" valuable to derive protection from this.

The bucket thinking also abstracts out the value of privacy. It's not merely hiding things-it's also about intimacy, avoiding abuses of state power and so on. That's what is lost with bucket thinking.

it's things like this that keep me from publishing on these streaming platforms... i know i lose out on exposure (and maybe a couple pennies, cause streaming royalties are a farce unless you're carly rae jepsen) but i don't feel right about the level of control they're able to exert on the ways in which people decide what to listen to

every time somebody beats their spam control the ledgers jump like ten gb

Editing on Everipedia is modern and visually appealing. For example, we embrace memes (in a scholarly way, of course), incorporate GIFs within the copy, and display images and videos in a way to make them stand out.

wikipedia is dead

this is the only conceivable way that you could make wikipedia worse

“The Everipedia IQ blockchain provides a new paradigm change and knowledge economy to disrupt the old centralized internet knowledge encyclopedia model similar to Wikipedia. By creating a new incentive structure and a distributed backend hosted within a blockchain, the new Everipedia knowledge base will be able to improve upon all fundamental features of Wikipedia.”

How is this not a parody

How is Everipedia different from Wikipedia and similar sites?

• Anyone can make pages about anything (as long as they are properly cited).
• Editing on Everipedia is modern and visually appealing. For example, we embrace memes (in a scholarly way, of course), incorporate GIFs within the copy, and display images and videos in a way to make them stand out.
• Talk pages are designed as discussion threads. This allows our editors to continuously discuss news-related items about their favorite topics.
• Celebrities can have verified accounts. Not only does this allow them to have conversations with their fans on their own page, but they can also contribute information to their own pages... without having to rely on secondary sources!
• Every page from Wikipedia is already here on Everipedia to build on top of and improve.
• All these reasons make Everipedia the greatest knowledge project ever!

oh man this situation sucks, good reporting

yea, basically. NES games were programmed in assembly (usually), like this.
