This is incredibly fucking stupid. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-59638565

@lain I’ve made stupid mistakes with crypto. I accidentally sent $500 to fake Elon Musk. But a jpeg of a monkey is not worth $300,000.

@lain I thought about it before replying. Yeah, this price is more than the life work of the majority of human beings. But I understand it’s also a different game, and it doesn’t necessarily take anything away.

But it’s still extremely fucking stupid. I can’t get over it. Ted Kaczynski was right. People are just bored and coping through NFTs.

Airports be like “if you buy our food we grant you the privilege to take off your mask for a short period of time”

@lain For like 6 months I was like “haha yeah right CUCKservatives, lmao trust the science”

Then I got the vaccine. Then it kept going and going and going with no end in sight… And now I think maybe they were right all along.

@lain There’s always a reasonable middle ground. Politics here are so divided, probably due to… social media.

Mastodon has had a bug since 2017 where the favourite/boost counters would get stuck after unfavourite/unboost and not decrement properly.

It’s actually a really complicated problem and I spent 20 minutes driving around thinking about it.

This is my brave solution.

“Protest outside Texas capitol”

BLURHASH IN PLEROMA, BITCH

Praise the ramen gods

???? Tell me what to think about this, internet.

Vegan cheese comes in two levels: shit-tier and god-tier. There is no in-between.

My favorite widely available brand is Miyoko’s.

Since Gab illegally restricted access to their code on GitLab (Eugen can sue them now, btw) here’s a mirror of the commits so you can be informed about their SQL injection vulnerability.

The SQL injection was introduced here: https://gitlab.com/alexgleason/gab-social/-/commit/fb3b7545705153022c24bb072fbdb3925b8cbfeb

And it was patched here: https://gitlab.com/alexgleason/gab-social/-/commit/6e42e3b1eca73c306db1580719a3a1bfb715f6d8

I now have over $1,000 worth of 10grans somehow

@lain First of all, I have no idea how. Second of all, HODL! ✋????

Think humans are really adept and competent? This will shatter it. It's like we're all mentally ill from birth. We can't even trust our own thoughts.

Since people kept bitching about it, Soapbox now supports remote follow. Let me know if the follow button is broken.

@lain @hj I was walking around trying to find my phone the other day, but same thing.
