I've been working on an open source cat-themed virtual pet running on an ESP32: https://github.com/moonbench/catode32 It was inspired by tamagotchis of yesteryear (and my two cats). It uses a small common monochro

> give out anonymous time-limited tokens from the gov site, with no logging Awful idea. This gives the government the power to deny you access to mass communication by deciding that you're no longer allowed to verify with these plat

Well that's kind of exactly my point, really. Ostensibly these laws are to protect kids from porn, but that isn't really the case. They instantly expand to everything else "adult", and it's very easy to argue that t

I heard from a friend last night that they were unable to see posts on X about current protests in their country because those were considered "adult" content which can now only be viewed after submitting to an ID check. Not porn,

Even if they can't be traced back to a name/photo identity, it would still be a privacy disaster if you could only make one proof per service. If a user can only make one then they'll have to use that identity with that servi

I think it's telling that this is happening via "policies" instead of laws, because almost nobody cares or wants it. It's also telling that Google and Microsoft aren't in opposition to this new burden, they're

I loved this game growing up as it was one of the few games which ran well on our family computer, despite not having an internet connection to participate in any of the PvP elements. It was probably the most played game of my childhood. I&

I'm so happy to see this post. One of my professors back in college mentioned that "just" was a "four letter word" (akin to a cuss word) and that's stuck with me since. "How long should this take? It'

I think there's an obvious slippery slope here, and it's visible in how these sorts of age verification requirements are implemented. Specifically, requiring a government ID to access, creating a log of who/what/where&#x

I recently put together some very small fonts (3x3, 3x4, 3x5, 3x6, 4x4, and 5x5) and tried to enumerate most of the possible glyphs as part of working on little projects on SSD1306 OLED screens: https://moonbench.xyz/project

For developers the per-install fee is an additional unwelcome cost, and one that can continue to nibble at you in perpetuity as players install and inevitably reinstall games over time. It seems to imply that if I ever upgrade to a new comp

This is a handy resource, SSH tunnels are something that I always find easier to grasp when displayed visually. I use a reverse SSH tunnel to access my home network when traveling. Ex: - [Machine-A (on my LAN, behind NAT, with a dynamic IP

Two years ago I changed my trends location to a county whose language I can't read (Japan). The trends box still exists, but I can't read it and can't care about any so-called trends.

It's one more example of how yesterday's "misinformation" can become tomorrow's "information", and how dangerous it is for sites to censor entire conversations because they (or their so-called 'fact c

This is an interesting idea. YouTube is that last big Google service that I struggle to cut out of my life since it seems to have so much more content than the alternatives. It would be great to know when I can switch to another one for a v

I use it when I'm drawing on my Cintiq to have a small video in the corner I can idly watch while drawing. When playing video games I can use PiP to place a video on top of my fullscreen game.

I often wonder if it's possible to encourage lawmakers to pass laws in the opposite direction. I.e., to instead pass laws that guarantee the right of citizens to share information, make content, etc in ways that shall not be infringed.

Yes. I could not agree more. The mind absolutely boggles trying to understand how a legislator can force an unpopular act like this into an unrelated appropriations bill and think they're doing something good. I don't know if they
