Yes, probably not the best headline, but I wanted to keep the original.

No, there were legal issues involved, due in part to me not running a tight a moderation as I should have, and in part due to one person completely losing his mind and suing a bunch of people, me included.

It'd actually be great if this would have happened on Reddit. I learned my lesson: do you want to comment about anything I've written? Please, do so. But not on my piece of land.

I completely agree. I used to have a Wordpress blog with comments enabled, and that brought me a few headaches at some point.

Later on, I moved to Pelican, which is a static generator, and below every article there's an info box that indicates that no, there's no commenting system, and lists a couple of ways someone can reach me if they wish to discuss that particular article. So far, it's working.

It was in several places, Bloomberg among them: https://archive.ph/0P9i7

The entire thing is a joke.

Apparently people are trying to save so many tweets right now that the Internet Archive is having a delay: https://paquita.masto.host/@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange...

When all this started I thought that Twitter wouldn't make it to Christmas. Sometimes I think that was too much, that it'd take longer to collapse. This past week makes me think I might be right.

There isn't enough popcorn on the planet for this show. 10/10 would watch again.

Only 0. The "1" state is apparently stable when there's permanent excitation of the underlying cryptomatter (otherwise known outside of cryptophysics as "pumping"), but that always comes to pass, as the pumping molecules are finite.

Bots are only a problem if they do something you don't like.

Few understand.

It's unregulated and decentralized, and banks are not your friends. To be honest, they're not, but that doesn't make any of this Ponzi 2.0 economy great.

He had $16b in Magic Dollars(TM) and he can have the same amount in the same token tomorrow if he wants, though.

One more down, a few still to go.

What you said, but in a Second Life clone.

Another happy TT-RSS user here. I moved after the Google Reader debacle.

It was blue.

Honestly, at this point in time if you don't know that investing your time in a Google product is probably going to be a waste... it's on you.

I learned that Perl is a write-only language back in the day, and that really helped.

> Probably not, the BOC doesn't meet again till December so I'm not sure what we'd see at the end of October.

From the linked press release: "The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is October 26, 2022."

> And our equivalent to the dot plot suggests no more rate raises this year

They say this in the linked press release, though: "Given the outlook for inflation, the Governing Council still judges that the policy interest rate will need to rise further."

I guess we'll see what happens by the end of October. I wouldn't be surprised if they keep hiking.

edit: a missing space.

As the previous reply said, I've also seen duplicates while browsing. Would it be possible to let users flag duplicates somehow? It involves human unreliability, which is like automated unreliability, only different.

What a strange concept, "hospital price".

Still $18,300 to go. Getting closer, at least.

People still "invest" in multi-level marketing stuff, so I'm not an optimist.

Have you seen this new coin? Have you read the white paper? It's a completely new scam^Wthing!

The sad thing is that a new crop of suckers will appear in a few months / years, and we'll repeat the blues again.

Real estate investors.

It depends. Most HTML e-mail can be parsed within the mutt viewer using an external program that converts HTML -> text in a graceful way. That works for 99 % of the HTML e-mail (which is typically just people that send it that way because they don't know better.)

For newsletters and such, you can have a shortcut that opens the HTML portion in a browser tab automatically.

This is done by adding this to your ~/.mailcap:

  text/html;  mutt_bgrun /usr/bin/firefox %s >/dev/null 2>&1; needsterminal
  text/html; elinks -dump ; copiousoutput

(where `mutt_bgrun` is here: https://www.mattcutts.com/files/mutt_bgrun)

And then on ~/.muttrc:

  macro index,pager ,b "<view-attachments>/html<enter><view-mailcap><exit>" "View first HTML attachment in browser"

That way, if I'm on an e-mail and I want the actual HTML rendering, I hit ",b" and it goes to a browser tab.

I use mutt on my desktop just because for my use case it's the best tool for the job, and have the regular Fastmail app on the phone.

I use the following algo, which is based on heuristics:

  [Is it a crypto thingy?] -----> Yes ----> Definitely a Ponzi or other scam.

  |----> No ----> Perhaps a Ponzi, perhaps not.
