i just got a card jacked by a skimmer at a local gas station, and when i dialed the fraud prevention number i got put on hold for 5 minutes and then it was a _robot voice complete with fake throat clearing noises_ and i didn't twig that it was failing the turing test until it berated me to read the full name on my card instead of responding to what i'd said and then condescendingly told me "that's better".
the actual cyberpunk dystopia is so fucking lame.

@deutrino they don’t give those out, you actually rent them. It gets added to your bill (from what I understand ) so you do actually want to replace them.
Ok, I think I’m finally starting to get the hang of this, you don’t want to read your “home” timeline but rather create a few topic focused lists and add users to those. That way you don’t have the twitter problem where you can’t read a day’a worth of toots quickly.
Anyone some a detailed write-up on how the Cloud Act applies to distributed systems and protocols? For instance, does it undermine IPFS, or transport over tor? How about federation?
I'd prefer reading non-speculative content on the subject if you know of any.
@moritzheiber yes, openbsd wasn’t affected (probably because they tend to pay closer attention to detail) someone from hacker news (apparently the author of “JPC” a Java x86 emulator) thought it was clear and implemented it correctly himself.
@moritzheiber It looks to me like many people correctly interpreted it. I think modern computers are just very complex and it’s very easy to miss tiny things like that with almost no noticeable bugs.
@DC7IA I have a license! I’m KK4SFU! I don’t use it much though, I got it more so I could experiment with building transmitters without getting in trouble.

controversial opinion: any "encrypted messenger" protocol or proposal that says "key exchange is out of scope" can go directly in the :wastebasket:
@mike flirting and streaks I guess? I’m not really a kid though.
@PhotonQyv Zombies only come from software with pretty serious bugs.
