Software developer. Father. Old Guy. I am mostly here to consume interesting content rather than create it.

Oh cool, DuckDuckGo now accepts pay-for-placement and doesn't review ads manually and so, now scam websites are in first position.

Cool cool cool.

@lowqualityfacts Wait... I thought this was true. It isn't?

My top recommendation to the @Mastodon team and all other instances fighting the influx of spam: Learn from @codinghorror about the concept of Trust Levels and consider implementing it asap.

https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/

This is perhaps the most under appreciated feature of Discourse and I’m amazed it’s not more mainstream.

While not necessary for an initial implementation, this system can also be applied to a federated environment, as put forth by @how

@erlend @Mastodon @codinghorror @how I wonder how hard it would be to create bots and let them acquire trust over time and then spam the heck out of people?

Isn’t it time for Clarence Thomas to resign?

I bet you #dotnet folks didn’t know that raw string literals could have any number of double quotes. As long as the starting number matches the ending number, you have a valid raw literal string.

@khalidabuhakmeh @bitbonk Now that I didn't know. It never occurred to me.

@khalidabuhakmeh I did actually. I think it is Gods gift to people needed to create literal JSON strings for testing.

The few moments before anyone joins a meeting where you make monkey faces at yourself. 🦧

@khalidabuhakmeh Excellent idea, let's all post to mastodon

RT @rbreich
Do I have this right…the same Republicans in Congress who want a national abortion ban don't support paid maternity leave? Or universal childcare? Or universal healthcare?

@glennsills@dotnet.social avatar

@rbreich Of course not. They want it to be like it was in the good old days before 1860.

Not great for Biden that CNN found old rhetoric of his questioning an opponent's age.

But the story offers an interesting lens into the extent to which Americans have gotten older over the past 50 years. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/26/biden-age-2024-election/

@pbump Of course, all of us who have not died have gotten older these last 50 years.
