If any Apple devices within range of my house are going to report on the nearby BSSIDs, then the obvious solution is to set up a dummy AP and program it to change its name every 10 minutes.

Wow, this is possibly the stupidest, greediest, most predatory abuse of copyright I've seen in a while.

A person can't post a photo of a room with wallpaper that has a licensed image even if the wallpaper was legally bought? That's not how this is supposed to work!

"She didn't credit me in the caption."

WHO TF LOOKS UP THE NAME OF THE WALLPAPER ARTIST WHEN POSTING VACATION HOME PHOTOS?

@ktempestbradford the worst part is that he's jurisdiction shopping, and that this is the third time that he's tried to sue over this because two other German courts told him to GTFO

So far today, two different people have asked me why I'm so friendly and happy. And, hey. So far as I know, we get one trip on this sweet little planet. It'd be a real drag if we all carried on unhappy, unfriendly.

@Twinklybugs great, so there's a maximum on the "you should smile more" spectrum

@mwl Will you revoke the certificate for the signed ebook before or after you distribute it?

It is entirely possible to critique completely terrible people without talking about their looks or how they're so old they should "go back to Facebook".

Facebook serving ME ads for a product called "Woman Within" feels like they know something about me that I haven't figured out yet (cf, stripy sock discourse).

I feel like recent events have clearly shown that the only thing worse than an old white guy running a large multinational corporation is a young white guy running a large multinational corporation.

I wonder if I'll hear any "I don't want to learn fucking Linux" statements coming out of this Microsoft Recall thing.

@adr I am amused by the "Linux users are stripy thigh high stock wearing tgirls" discourse, though.

@adr You can start wearing stripy socks any time you want.

I love that almost every All Trails review of the place I'm going to hike today is like "got lost but it was ok."

Helps me set expectations. It's a rather small place -- really the worst case scenario for being lost if you can't also use your phone's GPS (which you can, it's got coverage) is that you just have to go find one of the boundary roads.

Transferred that scoby. For fun, tried some of the tea from the scoby incubation jar, and man, I mean, it tastes ok, but WHOOF is it acidy. Could feel my tooth enamel.

@adr Canadians aren't as rigid about milk in tea as some of the other colonies are. I've never had milk tea, for example.

At NYU in 1970, 150 protestors broke into the computer lab.

When they left 2 days later, they rigged the mainframe with improvised napalm connected to a slow-burning fuse. (two math professors disconnected it while it was burning)

@adr "My friend wants to know what is the most important band in Canadian history."

... While opinions may vary, here are a few notable Canadian bands that have left a lasting impact:

Rush: Considered one of the most influential bands in rock history, Rush has sold over 40 million records worldwide....

Martha and the Muffins: ....
Neil Young: ....

Remember, there are many other talented Canadian artists out there, but these bands have certainly made their mark! 🎶🇨🇦

@adr Honestly, I am very surprised to see Copilot list M+M in the top three like that.

@adr with the most boring mainstream answer ever. Haven't these site ever heard of Guy Lombardo or Oscar Peterson?

I used to come away from #code4lib feeling inspired, proud of how much we were able to do with very little resources, and frustrated that we didn't have more resources.

These days I don't even have time to watch the stream. I can't remember the last time I did any significant coding. The admin of this server should probably politely ask me to find a new host.

@dbs @edsu After some lunchtime reflection, I do wonder if it would be possible to code up a RCE based on a report name with invalid characters in it. There must be some relationship between report names and file names if slashes are disallowed, after all.
