I'm making URL Cleaner, which on a technical level is the best URL cleaning tool I know of.
It's not the most ergonomic thing to set up. I do need to make a browser extension for it. But if you can wield it you're basically set.

Realized I can make CLI's output thread do time-based buffering using just Receiver::recv_timeout
If the next result is ready within the time limit, add it to a buffer. If the buffer is full, print everything. If the result takes longer, print the buffer then wait for and print the result

Ported the various flag sets like mobile and unmobile to vars, which completely avoids the nonsensical state of setting both at the same time. This also applies to stuff like embed_compatibility, which was split into a per-website basis

Whether or not an is.gd link returns a redirect as an HTTP 301 or a page with a link depends not just on if it's on HTTP or HTTPS, but also on the exact link
Fortunately my recent additions made that easy to handle but it's still stupid

I don't want to be a "I'm not surprised" guy but covid made it clear that a substantial part of the population wants the freedom to do whatever they want even if it kills them and/or others
strangers are fighting to the death in my menchies over this pretty innocuous take and slinging devastating counterarguments like “what if I had to run away from a murderer” and “I like speeding”
one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

If you’re selling a house and you’ve got an offer for $2M from and investment firm and $200 from a recent college grad, sounds like your property is wildly overassessed bro

Relatedly: probably my most individually radical economic position is that anyone selling a house should be required by law to prefer an offer from anyone who will live in the house vs someone who will rent it / “invest” in it, no matter how much worse the offer is.

I think it's great to have nuanced, good faith disagreements, in an appropriate time and place!
but only if that's what's *actually* going on, rather than trying to pull everyone towards the center while saying "can't we all just get along guys? whys everyone so maaad cmon guuuys"

I think we need to reframe things and refer to any software that intentionally negatively affects user experience to further some ulterior motive as "malicious software"

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch
The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:
- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital
SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

Trying to improve CLI performance by only allocating one vector per thread instead of one per task and the plan ALMOST worked
It depended upon sending a MutexGuard<'_, Vec<u8>> to a worker thread that then reads the buffer and drops the guard
But nope! MutexGuards aren't Send

A weirdly common thing redirect URLs do is have a bunch of base64 that looks to be about the size of a URL but which contains, as far as I can tell, nothing
Well, it "contains" a unique ID of where to go to, but it doesn't contain any text I can find

Some websites (such as alibaba) intentionally interfere with URL Cleaner Site Userscript by uncleaning links as you click them. This requires a fair bit of nonsesne that I don't think even CAN handle middle clicking to open links in new tabs

before you yell at a random person on the Internet about something, ask yourself if that will help you get the results you are trying to achieve?
often the answer is no!

Discord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor.
Who could have predicted?
Oh, right.

Discord users suffer the first high-profile age-verification hack – and it's unlikely to be the last

Let's be perfectly clear: executive order or no executive order, "domestic terrorism" has always meant whatever the government at the time wants it to mean.
The FBI used to infiltrate vegan potlucks, y'all.
Don't panic. Don't stop organizing. Just be careful and take care of each other.
