Wow. RAND Corp has all of their old reports online for free - such as Paul Baran's 1962 invention of packet switching: https://www.rand.org/pubs/papers/P2626.html #ComputerHistory #PaulBaran #InternetHistory

@nixCraft Wait, what? It's a bug in the bootloader regarding HTTP headers?

I love Elle Cordova and her clever, funny videos. This one is for all my writer and editor frends.

@airspeedswift This is funny, *and* I think 'new version' for users means 'UI changes’ which is unfortunate.

VICTORY! Ring has announced it will no longer facilitate warrantless police requests for footage to Ring’s users. This comes after years of sustained pressure from EFF and other civil liberties and privacy advocates. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/01/ring-announces-it-will-no-longer-facilitate-police-requests-footage-users

Massive wave hits Marshall Islands.

"Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it."

I wanted to do a desktop scene for one of the my original Mac cross-stitches, but 512x342 is just too many pixels to stitch! So I cut and pasted the original screen down to a more manageable size, but still with some classic bits. Puzzle desk accessory! #NerdStitch 6/10

The fact that business owners fought to keep remote work from being more widely adopted is a fucking tragedy. Remote work solved so many problems i.e. less greenhouse gases, less traffic (which means less strain on infrastructure), more money circulating in smaller towns, less wasted time commuting for employees (which also means less money being wasted on gas) etc. But nope, we gotta justify these buildings somehow.

That British Establishment thing of never admitting fault, even when it's been disproved in a court of law.
This guy only looks out for himself, which is why he's so desperate to mention his current charity work (it's for the Salvation Army so he's still no saint if they're still anti-LGBQTIA )

Happy birthday !

Mon premier a été un Macintosh 512, tout de suite upgradé en Macintosh Plus (changement de carte mère et de capot arrière.

C'était en 1986 et pour faire des serveurs #Minitel avec Dragster !

"That's why 1984 won't be like 1984"... Big Brother étant à l'époque Big Blue !

Anyone know of places hiring mid-level software developers? Remote in the UK (or able to employ someone in the UK). Working on climate change or adjacent ideally, but open to other stuff, too.

Asking for a friend (no, really). Boosts appreciated.

Norman Jewison (1926-2024) — Oscar-nominated director of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and MOONSTRUCK.

Also: THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING, CINCINNATI KID, THOMAS CROWN, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, ROLLERBALL and more in a 50-year career.

An extraordinarily versatile filmmaker whose work will endure.

There needs to be legislation to stop this and reverse it. Cars wider than 180cm should require a special, expensive, license renewed, with test every year.

SUVs drive trend for new cars to grow 1cm wider in UK and EU every two years, says report

But even worse, they want your connections list which are likely a rich target list & the most valuable resource your LinkedIn account has. By accepting connections from people you don't know, you open up all your coworkers, friends & anyone you have a #LinkedIn Connection with to be profiled by these leeches.
