OTOH, when the self-driving cars have to make a trolley decision and decide to veer into a mailbox or a fire hydrant that's really me on a bicycle, then I'm blaming you.

lnxw48a1One thing I do with CAPTCHAs is to always include one wrong item in the "click all the boats/bicycles/traffic lights". After 3-4 rounds, it usually lets me in anyway, and whatever killer robot I'm training will waste bullets attacking mailboxes and fire hydrants and skipping people on bicycles and motorcycles.
@Moon@evelyn@tk Yeah, he really believes the system has people's best interest in mind. And for the individual cogs of the system he is likely to interact with on a daily basis, people at his "level" and below, that's probably true. But once you start looking at the upper echelons, at the people shaping the conversation as to how the people's "best interests" are served, someone is leveraging those cogs for something else entirely.
Meh. If you're using Twitter's embed code to show info from Twitter's site on your own web page, then you get whatever Twitter wants to show you. This is not Twitter editing your web page, this Kevin Marks's web page retrieving code from Twitter, and letting unknown code run in the viewer's browser.
If you really want an immutable record of what Twitter had then copy'n'paste the text, don't use Twitter's embed code. Or you could capture a screenshot, just be sure to provide full ALT text so the text is still text.
Browsers that block Javascript should still see the blockquote text that's actually part of the page.
#Javascrippled, although not in the conventional manner.
what's most incredible about this date representation is that it was introduced after Y2K. it wouldn't have worked up to [19]99 think about it. someone implemented that after all the many years of preparation and patching decades-old systems for Y2K, knowing (or, worse, without realizing) that it had at most a couple of decades of use. how screwy and irresponsible is that?
From what I can tell, they were using the decimal digits of the 32-bit number as a sort of BCD, with the base10 digits representing portions of the date. The example used is "the new date value of 2,201,010,001 is over the max value of 'long' int32 being 2,147,483,647". So, YY MMDDHHMM ?
What an extraordinarily stupid way to represent a date.
Some days I'm glad my instance of #GNUsocial doesn't support #ActivityPub and isolates me from the idiocy on Mastodon of which I already get plenty from #Birdsite.
