Nowadays my main account, but other @Deebsters are available.

  • Covid vaccination rates were higher in the UK than the rest of Europe and exposure to this fraud is credited as why. Brits had built up some immunity to vaccine FUD and had the lowest rate of vaccine hesitancy.

    I take some glee in the fact that he's not antivax, (just wanted people to use his) but now has to be a speaker at antivax conferences as they're the only group who can stand him.

  • Thank you for your service

    Jump

  • I quite like that it's not an infinite firehouse of content - it means a limit to how much time I waste, unlike my Reddit days when I'd often block the site so I could get something done.

  • Networking: icanhazip.com [SOLVED: CULPRIT SPEEDTEST TRACKER]

    Jump

  • I must have been a very early user if only went live in 2009! It's a great resource that's always fast and optimally concise.

    I didn't know this backstory though, thanks for sharing.

  • Upgraded my shower rack turned server rack with dust filters

    Jump

  • Ah, you mean it's a shower rack turned server rack. I was confused by the title+pic and thought you'd waterproofed to run this in a shower for some mad reason.

  • L O N G A R M

    Jump

  • As which one, though?

    I just looked at The Creation of Adam, and 100% ol' longarm here has to be god.

  • Giant Banana Pulled Over in Montana: Driver Says Cops Have Stopped Him 100s Of Times

    Jump

  • I love the indignant tone of the article.

    Also it's quite funny how he's doing a one-man Top Gear, first building and driving a novelty car, then going on a "grand tour"with it.

  • US and Iran announce deal to end military operations

    Jump

  • I'm picturing the "isn't there someone you forgot to ask" meme, with the Israeli flag. How long before they resume their attacks and scupper this peace deal?

  • Switched them to strictly wet food and the fat one is more playful now 🩶

    Jump

  • Amazing photos

  • Proton has respond on reddit

    Jump

  • I'm out of the loop here, what's this drama about?

  • xkcd #3256: Nostalgia Content

    Jump

  • I often think that it would be great if one of the Star Trek/Gate or similar shows would go to a very young world (and not just dinosaurs). Obviously budget would be a factor and having no intelligent life limits the story options so I can see why not, but it would be an interesting thing to see.

  • AI is making me paranoid about contributions

    Jump

  • Part of being a maintainer is helping to onboard new contributors, this is why many projects have a tag for "good first issue". Teaching people how to use the library/tool is part of that.

  • TIL the stop motion film industry is propped up by one rich kid

    Jump

  • I can see why you'd assume that, but it's not what that formatting indicates. Coraline, for example, individually had a budget of $60M Source 1 Source 2

  • Brave is charging $60 to remove features it added in the first place

    Jump

  • The top comment on that site says you can already disable all of these features from within the settings. Is this true?

  • Google Employees Internally Share Memes About How Its AI Sucks

    Jump

  • Kinda weird experience to be reading textual descriptions of memes and having to reconstruct them in my head. They had enough to say to not need to pad out their word count that way.

  • Google Employees Internally Share Memes About How Its AI Sucks

    Jump

  • I was going to quote this part as well - nice bit of malicious compliance.

  • This community isn't your personal adviser

    Jump

  • If people want to ask something that they don't want tied to them, they should use a throwaway account. Scrapers will probably grab the text quickly (especially if they're using ActivityPub) so it's a false sense of security to do it days later.

  • agile

    Jump

  • It's a meme format (a snowclone), of the form "It's only X if it comes from the X region of France, otherwise it's just sparking Y". The original was talking about Champagne (and sparkling wine), which is why it's France.

    There's lots of versions out there, of varying quality.

  • Security Advisory for Cargo (CVE-2026-5222)

    Jump

  • The severity of the vulnerability is low, due to the extremely niche requirements needed to achieve the attack.

    Mitigations

    Rust 1.96, to be released on May 28th, 2026

    Ok, so it'll get fixed soon enough and 99% of people don't need to worry 👍

  • Today’s kids don’t have to worry about turning off your PC before you can unplug your mouse or keyboard

    Jump

  • I have a bunch of identical-looking white USB3 cables that may or may not transmit any data at all, depending on what they arrived free with. I wish they had little colour bands on like fuses do.
