Top Story
- Google is planning to implement opt-out telemetry into its Go programming language. (The Register)
That means that not only will Google's own apps phone home to Google - they already do that - but every program written by anyone running anywhere if it uses Go.
Programmers have, not surprisingly, told Google to get fucked.Now you guys want to introduce telemetry into your programming language?" Weisz said. "This is how you drive off any person who even considered giving your project a chance despite the warning signs. Please don't do this, and please issue a public apology for even proposing it. Please leave a blast radius around this idea wide enough that nobody even suggests trying to do this again."
The moral lepers over at Mastodon are upset that anyone would object to this latest expansion of the Panopticon:He added: "Trust in Google's behavior is at an all time low, and moves like this are a choice to shove what's left of it off the edge of a cliff."
"This is a large unconventional design, there are a lot of tradeoffs worth discussing and details to explore," he wrote. "When Russ showed it to me I made at least a dozen suggestions and many got implemented."
Correct."Instead: all opt-out telemetry is unethical
Google is evil
It is indeed.this is not needed.
Go has existed for 13 years without this; other programming languages for more than 60.No one even argued why publishing any of this data could be a problem."
Because the default in any networked system is not to send any data you don't need to send.
It doesn't matter how useful it is to Google. I don't care. It has to be useful to me.
Tech News
- MSI has confirmed its 12th and 13th generation Intel motherboards support Micron's new 48GB DIMMs that you can't get. (Tom's Hardware)
Soon.
Probably.
- The Asus Vivobook OLED 14 has a 14" 2880x1800 OLED screen, a Ryzen 7730U which is to say a 6800U, 8GB of soldered RAM and one DIMM slot so you should be able to upgrade it to 40GB, and a stupid keyboard. (Liliputing)
Ugh.
- Elon Musk is still busy firing idiots at Twitter. (The Verge)
The Verge is the usual left-wing hack rag that represents so much of the pseudo-tech press, so they try to write this as if Musk was in the wrong. If you know anything about how these systems work, or about recent events on Twitter, he is quite obviously right and the unnamed engineer needed to be ejected forthwith.

Well, that was exciting.
The migration was complicated by the old server disappearing for 24 hours just before I was set to start doing this.
Also, looks like I can stop paying for that backup server, since it's kind of deceased.

Finally have a script running to finish restoring all the posts from the backup into the live database after the Big Mess last year when the other datacenter caught fire and everyone had to squeeze onto a single $50 server for three weeks.
It's moving pretty quickly so if your posts from 2012-2016 aren't back yet they should be within the next few hours.

I mean, not relevant to this particular post, it is relevant o the world at large and the frauds in charge.
This is one of my favorite troll responses. These fake Russia stories were The Biggest Thing On Earth, for years, when the crooks behind them still hoped they'd work. Now they just want to get away clean, and people like you say, "Can't you just let it go?" https://t.co/KFvYTksorG

Read your own tweet: the Beacon originally funded the "research firm†that created the dossier, not the dossier itself. Timeline: Beacon drops Fusion, Perkins Coie hires Fusion, Fusion hires Steele. No one disputes this. It’s been testified to countless times. https://t.co/xDnRVXTvDgpic.twitter.com/8Z2WvQvPwp

Every single person who works at the media corporations that spread the CIA lie that the Biden archive was "Russian disinformation" knows they lied to protect Biden.

But they also know their audience doesn't care if they get caught lying as long as it's for the right Party.
Also, this is literally the objectification of women.

This server is crashing almost every day right now.
I have a new server, and I have complete and up-to-date backups on the new server.
What I haven't had so far is any time to configure this system on the new server.
Should happen in the next few days. I pulled about a forty-hour week just between 5PM Friday and 9AM Monday, but that was the last drama from that product launch, and the next launch isn't for, oh, a week at least.
It's not until October that things will get really crazy.
I did get a raise, and we've hired a bunch of new staff, so it should get less crazy by the end of the year. I just need to survive long enough to see it...

The server was getting overloaded with crappy requests again, but I couldn't see any difference between the crappy requests overloading the server and the usual crappy requests that only take about 50 milliseconds and cause no problems at all.
Except that we were also getting indexed by Google and the Google bot was tracking links to RSS feeds in places where RSS feeds don't really belong but the server will do its best to fulfil anyway.
So I blocked a couple of those. Not all of them, just a couple.
And the problem was resolved.
