271·2 days agoA web page is a combination of a structured document and a separate stylesheet. The same structured document can be styled in radically different ways just by changing the stylesheet. This is how a website can offer different skins, light/dark mode, etc.
Consider this basic HTML document:
<html> <head><title>Test Page</title></head> <body> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> <ul> <li>This is an unordered bullet-point list item</li> <li>This is also a list item</li> </ul> </body> </html>And here’s a stylesheet to make the bullet points square:
ul { list-style-type: square; }Change the stylesheet and you change how the document is rendered. “Reader mode” is just a minimalist stylesheet built into the browser.
181·3 days agoA number of my repos are listed.
But the weird part is that it also lists a repo I don’t recognize. The repo does actually exist on my github account, but it’s marked as “ignored”, and the description says it was automatically exported from Google Code. The code seems to be a MacOS shareware file encryption tool called “BitClamp”, published circa 2008.
No idea how it got on my account.

The tesseract code repository is no longer public, but someone else made a copy of the blacklist file: https://drive.proton.me/urls/F12YB7W52C#27AP8fGZ2xdp
It’s an alternative skin/user interface that fediverse instances can offer users. It turns out to have an internal blocklist of instances, communities, users, and keywords that it will silently hide. Some (e.g. child abuse) are understandable. Others (e.g. specific usernames) are less so.
Some people are upset they are on the list; some that they are not on the list. But most are upset that a list exists in the first place.

This looks uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they were to make it in the form of a suppository…
Last week I tipped a friend off about an upcoming job opening that would have us living in the same town. The boss sees their resume tomorrow.
O Mighty Potato, grant me this boon.
It’s clearly haunted.
Probably not criminal trespassing, since they are the owner of the property. It may fall under tenant harassment, unauthorized entry, constructive eviction, or other laws that pertain specifically to landlord/tenant relations.
Check to see if there are any local tenant’s rights or advocacy groups in your area that offer free legal consultations. They’d be able to advise you on the local tenant’s rights laws and whether they apply to your situation.
Just stick your hands between your buttocks. That’s nature’s pocket.
1·2 months agoMultiple HTTP requests can be performed over a single connection, and not all connections are for HTTP requests in the first place. The only way to know that an HTTP request is being made (or how many) is to actually see the requests.
It would be a privacy nightmare, of course. Either we would all have to install monitoring software on our devices, or we would have to allow ISPs to break HTTPS.

“Pissing in the soup” doesn’t really work here unless you’re adulterating the software with something malicious.
Assuming a ~20% shift towards pro-choice opinions I would expect more pro-choice laws, not an orgy of casual abortions.
Polling suggests that around 70% of women and 50% of men support abortion, though. If those stats simply reversed then nothing really changes.
In my area, you are notified by mail that you will be in the jury pool during a specific week (5 days). You’re assigned a group number and an individual juror number.
Each day of the week they’ll announce which group numbers will actually need to report to the courthouse the following morning. If your group doesn’t get called in all week then your obligation is satisfied.
If your group number is called then you have to report to the courthouse in the morning. You’ll be sent to a waiting room with all the other people called in that day. They’ll start calling individual juror numbers at random for assignment to cases. If the end of the day arrives and your number wasn’t called then your obligation is satisfied.
If you’re assigned to a case then the judge will ask if serving would be a hardship. If so, you can be excused and replaced with another juror from the waiting room. Being excused from duty does not satisfy your obligation, but it does end your jury duty for the week.
That’s as far as I’ve ever gotten.
As for ignoring the summons, that’s basically contempt of court. You can be subject to fines and jail time more or less at the discretion of the judge.
