Graphics dept: how's this?
CEO: Perfect.

The party of Ronald Reagan is bothsidesing the Hitler wannabee. What a time to be alive.

@GossiTheDog I mean, it does sound a bit unlikely because I've seen bluetooth brushes, but certainly not ones with builtin wifi.

@corbet There's a "they should have used FLOSS and good security hygiene practices" joke in there somewhere.

A US businessman with 171 million social media followers is trying to convince the American public, that the law which contains the aid to Ukraine will allow foreigners to vote in US elections.

X is the misinformation medium.

@briankrebs you can subscribe to LKML and then you'll no longer have that problem. ;)

(Unless, of course, something breaks on our end.)

@liw @neil I know what you're saying, but the alternatives only seem more appealing because they are either controlled by a single entity (WhatsApp, Discord), or they are not yet popular enough to attract spammers' attention (Matrix, ActivityPub). All the extra hoops for domain authenticated email are a necessary evil in response to abuse and liability.

@isotopp so are most other specs that have been around for the past 40 years. This is why we need major language libraries to actually do the right thing so everyone doesn't have to write their own semi-broken workarounds.

Why is python's email module *so bad* at creating valid headers?

90% of the bugs reported against the module are for some kind of header parsing or writing problem.

@chrissicool a laudable practice, but won't save you in the case I described (arrow-up too far by accident and execute it again when you meant to invoke some other command from history).

Is there a fancy German word for when you find out that a fancy foreign word is actually pretty blah in its original language? Like, "Bossa Nova" just literally means "New Wave," "hors d'oeuvre" means "side project" and "wanderlust" just means "in the mood for some walking."
