@jlj@twt.nfld.uk only twt is “NFT Development Services”, a link. The Spam is strong with this one.

if 100 people register for a pod that’s 100x work for the administrator compared to having each user pass a non-user-hostile captcha and verify their email address. I’d advocate for filtering on the user side and equipping admins to mass delete spam and inactive accounts.

@prologic oh yes, lots of those. I guess last Thursday was the last one, and I have at least one meeting today.

I was thinking that I rarely use the actual telephone network anymore. It’s almost all digital/internet.

@prologic for my pod it’d be simpler: don’t allow anyone to register with a username that ends in -zit. Problem solved!

@prologic yeah, I came to a similar place in my own work. SQL databases have their place, but a good key-value store is often the best choice.

I do love SQL as a language concept though. For a grad school project the group I was in wrote an interpreter for a SQL-like language that queried email, and it’s so elegant.

I haven’t talked on the phone since January 17th.

@prologic 🤷‍♂️

@support@anthony.buc.ci oh hey one of the zits is back hey zit!

@bender the cache can’t be that hard if you busted it again! 😏

@prologic They don’t have an Android version so I haven’t been able to try it.

The notion as I understand it is that they tell companies, on your behalf, to stop collecting data about you and to delete what data they have about you. Consumer Reports doesn’t know this information; they act as an intermediary. They’re and old and trusted non-profit in the US so it makes sense: consumers can trust them to act on their behalf, and companies tend to not want to piss off Consumer Reports.”

Edit: oops I got sidetracked and didn’t answer your question lol. Truth is, I don’t know what they need to know from you. I imagine if you have IOS and install the app you’d figure that out pretty quickly. I signed up to get an email when their Android version comes out so I can try it.

Permission Slip by CR

Interesting on a lot of levels. Consumer Reports is well respected and has been around since at least when I was a kid. If they’re actively calling out large companies for stealing and selling people’s data the tide has surely turned on this practice.

Still getting email. 🙇‍♂️

@prologic that’s a dangerpus road to go down; historically when a lot of people lose faith in the government’s ability to do things, authoritarians and fascists find fertile recruiting ground. It’s safer to agitate for government to do better and not let up till they do.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so, you don’t depend on libc, and you write device drivers from scratch for every project?

@nwu1dm email is imaginary!

@bender done!

Another email. Preposterous.

Three more emails. This is madness.

Come to think of it, Inbox Δ ≤ Zero is really what you want, right?

@prologic Yeah, it’s one of these bizarro world pure functional languages so if you’re not used to reading those it’ll look weird as hell.

@prologic It definitely takes some getting used to. Try expanding the folded code (click the little arrow thingers)

@prologic Inbox Nonzero is clearly superior because it is invariant with respect to receiving an email, which Inbox Zero is not. 🤓

@prologic my link is a sample. You’re looking at source code. In this particular case it even executes and shows you the result, a text string.

I pushed some “code” to Unison Share!

Free yourselves from the oppression of inbox zero!
