AIcanbitemeon Web Browsers on PDAS

It's hardly a problem because most web traffic doesn't need to be encrypted. Just banking, shopping, a few other things like healthcare and health care.

AIcanbitemeon Update on Ocean Observatories Initiative

It'll be a long time before the Republicans leave power, the mail-in voting EO will assure that.

AIcanbitemeon Kremlometr - Using NLP to spot pro-Russian propaganda in czech media comments

Does this work for NAFO comments in English-language sites too? For a long time I thought NAFO was Russia but it turned out to be a NATO operation after all! Probably the biggest propaganda / psyop backfire in all of history. They're why I don't support Ukraine and think Zelensky should be in jail.

AIcanbitemeon Web Browsers on PDAS

If it wasn't for webshitters and big tech pumping out JS and using framework on top of framework we could easily be browsing on ancient devices today.

AIcanbitemeon Datasette Apps: Host custom HTML applications inside Datasette

How does this work, does some mechanism replace the actual tape drive in the Datasette? Can you just use the tape port with the gadget or does it somehow need the tape drive? How do you access the HTML applications, how is the translation to PETSCII handled?

I have no idea how this could work but as a long time Commodore 64 fan I'm interested. The link won't load for me, sadly. Can somebody give me a quick rundown on how I can host HTML apps inside my Commodore Datasette tape drive?

AIcanbitemeon Spotify Killed the Thrill of the Hunt

How have record stores disappeared? I live in a fairly remote area, the largest town in a two hour drive in any direction, which has about 30,000 people and we have TWO record stores. Two!

AIcanbitemeon The founder of Craigslist has given away half a billion dollars

Thiel is right, this fake boomer club just piles money onto liberal causes (left doesn't exist any more, progressive stack folded it into liberalism).

AIcanbitemeon EU to soon classify AWS and Azure as gatekeepers under DSA

Is this really a good faith comment? Anyway the EU just fines US tech giants, it's part of doing business in the EU. It must be worthwhile, the fines must only amount to a small percentage of the lucre gathered there.

AIcanbitemeon Ubiquiti: Enterprise NAS, Built on ZFS

Isn't this the name of some other company or something already? Come on you can throw together letters randomly and come up with something original. Get AI to help maybe?

AIcanbitemeon Google workspace threatening to block Firefox access

I browse over Tor for most things and most sites give me a captcha or just simply fail to load these days. I just close the window and move on to something else.
