This is a brilliant little waking nightmare.

As in, run GPG like you already do on important emails? mind == blown

You can go a step further and do Diffie-Hellman on a pocket calculator for key agreement. Authentication is left as an exercise for the reader tho.

No, it's a consequence of normies.

The original Reddit, like Slashdot, and Dig to a lesser extent, defaulted to a global community. These places started out by attracting nerds from across the globe. Nerdy communities are internationalist, and fluent in English. So there was a tacit understanding that English was simply Esperanto and that anyone could be from anywhere.

Slowly getting mainstream, Reddit started attracting randos. And American randos apparently associate English with themselves, completely lost to the fact that something like half of the planet uses it as a common language. So I sat and watched as the overall tone of the place went from a spaceship, to Chick-fil-A, Podunk.

Sauce: English as a second language and been there from the start.

Love the comment!

Just a note that as soon as you have "cล“liac", you also have [aษช pสฐiห eษช] (and Zฬตฬšฬ‰ฬ‹ฬฬ‘อƒอ’อ ฬ‹ฬˆฬ‡อ ฬŠอƒอฬฐฬฆอ–ฬŸอ•อˆฬฃอ™อˆอ–อ•ฬœAฬทฬ’ฬ‚ฬฟฬ“ฬ‰ฬˆฬšอฬ€ฬฝอ‹ฬชฬณฬณฬจฬฑฬžฬกLฬตฬŽฬˆฬƒฬ‰ฬ€อฬ”ฬ‹อƒอ€ฬŽฬพฬฬ‰ฬฐฬฆฬฎฬกอ–ฬผGฬทอ’ออ‚อ›ฬฬอ‘ฬ’อŠฬŽฬ‚ฬฌฬŸฬ–อŽอ‰อšอ‡ฬฐฬจอ‡ฬ Oฬธฬฬ“อ‹อฬ†ฬˆฬŠฬ“ฬ’ฬœฬฉฬจอœฬนฬขอ–อ™ฬฅฬฏอ…ฬนฬฅฬผ), thanks to Unicode.

I don't think you understand. How do you know that the heavy majority of the users (of the early Reddit) were from the US? You are repeating the viewpoint that the place started out as US-centric โ€” any concrete data here? Why do you think that the country where a web site was built in matters here?

I'll reiterate: English is fundamentally different from Japanese because it is widely used as a second language.

This morning storm Poly smashed the Netherlands, especially North Holland (Amsterdam region). Digital emergency alert system was used, three times, and directed people to Twitter.

Which was closed, of course. It's a political shitshow right now. Amsterdam municipality already runs its own Mastodon, and this fuckup will probably have consequences in moving official broadcast channels off Twitter.

I thought it was a veteran.

Posting to unlurk myself. It's... haaard to kick the habit.

It's good data, but we know it's been overrun by Americans.

Early on, the number was even larger.

This is something that we don't know.

Early on, it was about random programming links and stuff that such crowd cared about. Then a bunch of people poured in and confused the language with the locality.

An elegy for a clockwork-smooth, labor of love, tit slip site? Well, the Internet is alive and kicking!

All modern stairs are built on the same terrible foundation: Attract users, no matter how much money you lose.

I have sustainable stairs at home which have plateaued at two users. Not all stairs.

We're just talking past each other.

People from the broader "west" look at the Internet, see a global network, and switch to English to maximize the reach.

(Certain) people from the anglosphere see the network is in English, and conclude it must be local to them.

Also this.

c/programmingcirclejerk when?

No, not even close. The web was pretty shit and โ€” get this โ€” nothing you ever did on it counted.

I'm arguing in good faith, since this is a new place and I'm (still) trying to foster discussion. Unfortunately, I could not find any published data on the visitors of the early Reddit.

So the best that I can do is offer first-hand account: cca 2006 Reddit was not US-centric. For that matter, almost no community on the Internet was, be it forums or IRC.

If a website is built in your country, isnโ€™t it a safe assumption that the majority of users would be from your country?

This is complete nonsense. Why would it work like that? Are most of the Spotify users Swedish?

Sauce for the article you are reading?

I wanted to make a snarky comment..

But instead, I subbed to your awesome subs!

Have a ready Qemu image of a Windows install. Have a live distro that has (or can install to RAM) Qemu. Boot Windows using Qemu in the live environment, and VFIO-passthrough your NVME as a PCI device. Install and run the official Windows-based update tool, which now has raw access to the SSD.

At least that's what I'm doing for my WD.

To each their own.

I thought that the trick with exposing the raw hardware to a VM was the coolest thing ever, since it negates this entire "do their special tools support Linux" issue. And you do it once every 6 months, maybe 4 times in total, until releases taper off.

Or screeching primary colors, textured backgrounds, or badly rendered fonts. Or <blink> and <marquee>.

Do you think that a community like TrueMuslim would be welcome? What is your own attitude to having such community as neighbors?

I am building my wall of Subscribe Pendings, which I tend to like a butterfly collection.

It happens in mine with the same combination of sounds, a case of iotation. Many words which have a "ch" sound in them arose as contractions of "t-y" or "k-y", which we write as "ฤ‡" and "ฤ" respectively.

My 5yo phone is running Android 13. Get LineageOS.

EU twat: "Well, we did offer, kthx."

Note that with minimal changes, this is what the UK govt is trying to do to asylum seekers. And that is explicitly punitive.

Ah thanks! But I did read the blurbs.

I got curious about the big conclusions of the books โ€” where do the solutions lie, and how do we get tasty over-farmed food? And what was Chris' health like after that month?

Xperia XZ2 Compact (2018) here. Running perfectly with LOS+microG.

But as the phone is starting to fall apart, my desperation is setting in.
