• The “week of fights” as it was later called, where we went on soft lockdown four days in a row due to community violence. First time was because a guy with a crowbar was trying to break the front door windows of the school to get in. His brother or something was going to fight someone and I guess he wanted to be there to help. The other times were also due to fights involving members of two families if I recall correctly, it was really weird.
• One student threw a textbook of another student on the roof of the school, who just so happened to be affiliated with some gang. He and his brother beat him up outside my bus, where a well-placed punch sprayed blood on my window.
• Star basketball player decided it would be a good idea to commit armed robbery the day before graduation.
• A twitter account was created that would post the name of a senior girl and their “rank” in terms of “hotness” a few times a day. No one could figure out who was behind the account, although I think there was a shortlist of potentials.
• Another twitter account was created that looked like the school district’s official twitter page, which posted that school was canceled due to snow. Well about half the kids believed it and didn’t show up, so the school was a total ghost town that day, and none of the teachers did any real teaching since most of them had so few students

The site also has an active Discord community of around 35k members, who actively participate in discussions, art competitions, even a chess tournament.

lulz, but this is probably a big reason why this happened, discord servers pay our pretty well and profiting with this stuff probably got some legal teams a little pissy

IIRC this is how those Elon musk crypto livestream hacks worked on YouTube back in the day, I think the bad actors got a hold of cached session tokens and gave themselves access to whatever account they were targeting. Linus Tech Tips had a good bit in a WAN show episode

I hate how YouTube seems to intentionally show salacious ads if you opt out of ad personalization. I get a ton of Temu spam despite not purchasing anything from that app or even having it on my phone, and the ads themselves usually feature scantily-clad women that takes up 70% of the screen. I’ve made a habit of just opening up the comments section and keeping them open the entire duration of the video. It really feels like YouTube/Google/Alphabet is saying “oh, you don’t want people around you to think you’re a perv? Let us collect more data about you so you can save face in public when you use our app at the gym or at work.”

Real ones remember vlemmy.net. One of the first instances post-Reddit migration to go away suddenly

Just say you don’t like Ubuntu lol

He switched to Debian

Eventually Linus himself will come and personally re-write your cfg file for you

You probably shouldn’t be accessing a linux distro’s website from mobile

I don’t think it’s good to hand-wave a website’s poor user experience and instead blame the user’s device. The fact of the matter is that Debian’s website is not as responsive as it could (imo, should) be and results in a bad user experience. With mobile traffic being responsible for over 55% of the internet’s traffic, it can be generally assumed a user’s first experience learning about a distro will be on a mobile device. If that first impression is bad, that can spell bad news for that distro’s adoption/onboarding.

And to be fair, that whole narwhal bacon thing was a weird fad of internet culture as a whole, not just on Reddit (think pre-2014 internet imo)

Kinda surprised there isn’t, ngl

The unsealed court order wasn’t just fishing for a list of vague identifiers that could be winnowed down to a list of suspects and a follow-up warrant demanding actual identifying information on these ~30,000 YouTube users. No, it appears the feds led with the big ask, demanding names, addresses, phone numbers, and user activity for every viewer of these videos between January 1-8, 2023. AND(!!) it asked Google to provide IP addresses for all viewers who were not logged into (or did not possess) Google accounts.

That’s fucked

I’ve enjoyed No Man’s Sky since day 1. I didn’t really follow the game or any of the major hype behind it, I just saw a cool space game on ps4 and played the hell out of it. Fell in love with the music, the setting, and just walking around weird landscapes, flying to different atlas stations, and just enjoying being alone.

I still play it, and am so happy HG continues to give the game constant love and attention, but there are days I turn networking off on my ps4 and play the 1.0 version again, just to go back to that part of my life for a little bit.

So they’re saying that since Suyu forked Yuzu, it also contains some cryptographic keys from the Switch, which is the docs violation? Didn’t something similar happen to the dolphin devs?

Wait until you hear about your toothbrush

This is still good to know, I didn’t know the bulbs were just endpoints, gonna avoid them going forward and find repeater zigbee bulbs instead. Thanks!

I will definitely try this, thanks!
