I was stupid enough to watch a youtube video, without signing out first or opening it in an incognito tab, about some dude visiting an abandoned mine in Arizona. And now, the main page is 90% "I went to an abandoned house in the woods and you'll never believe what I found!"

Did The Internet Archive Hack Themselves?

The Internet Archive Hack gets weirder and weirder by the day. After 22 days, hackers still have access to sensitive internal systems. Archive.org has been offline for 11 days (and counting), and Internet Archive refused to respond to notifications of being hacked. All immediately following Internet Archive's massive court loss which could destroy them as an organization. And that's just for starters.

Something smells very, very wrong. Did the Internet Archive allow themselves to be hacked? Or... did they actually hack themselves? That's crazy... right? It's not as crazy as it might seem.

Let's go through the timeline of events and look at everything logically.

The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

Two pretty awesome pieces of Linux news:

1) Our very own and Framework's employee, Matt Hartley seems to have created a create application complete with a GUI that will help you configure without hassle hibernation on both Fedora and Ubuntu. This has been so sorely needed, and I just can't praise Matt enough for making it happen.

2) Have you guys heard of Miracle WM? Canonical built Sway / I3 like tiler. Working towards a 1.0 release by the end of this year, but looking really promising so far.

Looks like the flagship mastodon instance, mastodon.social, has taken an official poisition that it is ok to call out rms, but calling out his harasser drew devault is a bannable offence. See: https://fedi.feministwiki.org/objects/938fa4c9-13fa-4602-80a4-67b30ce5d5d4

Funny Programming Pictures Part LX

(That's Funny Dead Civilization Numbers for "60".)

My favorite picture in this "Funny Programming Pictures" collection is the one with Al Bundy in it. In part because it contains a stupid grammatical error, and in part because it has absolutely nothing to do with programming.

But, mostly, because it's about Al Bundy.

GNOME Layoffs! Woke Software Alternatives! Internet Archive Hacks! Facebook Censorship Portal!

Whew! Last week was another crazy one!

GNOME Foundation layoffs, Google breakup by the government, Facebook's custom developed web portal to help Biden censor Americans... oh, and that crazy Internet Archive hack (which is still going on!). Wild times.

But, if you're going to watch just one show from last week, I would make it the one about LEGO parts on laptops. Because that one made me smile.
