Contrary to predictions, almost 18 hours later, Steamboat Willie's entry into the public domain does not appear to have literally caused the sky to fall.

Scientist, safecracker, etc. McDevitt Professor of Computer Science and Law at Georgetown. Formerly UPenn, Bell Labs. So-called expert on election security and stuff. https://twitter.com/mattblaze on the Twitter. Slow photographer. Radio nerd. Blogs occasionally at https://www.mattblaze.org/blog . I probably won't see your DM; use something else. He/Him. Uses this wrong.
I will admit I still don't understand what's so offensive about my pointing out the unsafe, confusing semantics of the Mastodon PM mechanism, or why this topic seems to provoke so much anger.
Basically, I have learned nothing from your yelling.
Someone yelled at me for posting monochrome photos again.
That's kind of annonying, but this place still has fewer Nazis than that other place, so I'll be sticking around (along with my dreary monochrome photos, devoid of all color and joy as they may be).
Subwoofer of the House: capable only of shaking things up, but not actually conveying anything intelligible.
This may be obvious, but I recently started routinely adding "-youtube" to google searches. This eliminate most pages with links to garbage YouTube-monetized videos that try to attract people looking for basic instructions on how to do simple things. Greatly improves the quality of search results.
Apparently Duo (the widely used 2FA service) is having a “systemwide outage”.
Recent discovery: I've long observed that there's a huge, disproportionate price difference between consumer-level and pro-grade still photography equipment, but that didn't even remotely prepare me for the same difference in the pricing of consumer vs pro cinema gear.
Even very well off still photographers have budgets far lower than feature film productions, and the market definitely reflects that.
People who criticize me for being concerned about getting a disease that could harm or permanently disable me or my loved ones get instantly blocked. There's no "both sides" here. If you do that, you're an asshole. Period.
Fun cinema titles fact: The same artist, Pablo Ferro, designed the titles for both Dr. Strangelove and Stop Making Sense (and in the same style).
Home from Hacker Summer Camp. I will now be sleeping until approximately October.
I think it's safe to assume that they included RICO charges in the Georgia indictment entirely for the purpose of trolling @npub15qwu...3p2z .
Happy Day of the Fourth Indictment, for all those who celebrate.
Two rapid tests (yesterday and today) after a week of (masked) flying and crowded conferencing. Still negative, knock wood.
Another DEFCON down and I feel 30 years older than I did last week.
