I mean fascism isn't about jackboots, it's about individual and collective liberties being squashed every time they come into conflict with corporate and government interests. you can get squashed by a smiley face. you can even think you like it while it's happening. that doesn't change the power dynamic.

@DC7IA It doesn't, though there's a setting for language in your settings it's only a single choice. I believe filtering by language uses that choice.

@frickhaditcoming Capitalism, but then I think you knew that already ;)

@squirrel strcpy doesn't check that the destination is big enough to store the source string in, which can lead to buffer overruns.

The Linux man page for strcpy covers this fairly well, along with some alternatives: linux.die.net/man/3/strcpy

Can't get the NieR: Automata soundtrack out of my head...

@gargron I tried taking my new glasses back the day after I got them. They told me to keep them on for the next couple of days and it'll be OK. They were right.

Less happy to discover that apparently nightly has forgotten to use British English...

Bit of a flashback today, I discovered an old favourite album: Punk-O-Rama 3!

@CobaltVelvet That's one of the reasons I use ufw these days...

Had quite a bit of fun Sunbroing on the Dark Souls Remastered network test on Friday. The game feels just how I remembered it, which is exactly what I wanted, so I'm happy with that. The new lighting engine looks good but there were a few objects that were a bit bluer than I remember.

It looks loads better than the videos I'd seen before.

Morning , back at work after a few days off. Had a good time, pleased with the local election results - the work I put in seems to have really paid off.

@browneyedgirl No idea, but I can't imagine it ending well.

If you side with nations, you will always side against humans that the national authorities are denying the same rights, just because they are born on the 'wrong' side of the border.

❀ humans not nations!
