And MITMProxy is here to help you do it.

Microsoft, of course, refuses to use his excellent free work.

His fix has issues as well, but he kept the pain on the implementation side as best he could.

Discussion on timekeeping in northwestern Ontario has been updated to reflect that provincial regulation has been issued to allow these areas to stay aligned with America/Winnipeg and follow Manitoba’s adoption of year-round -05 after all. (Thanks to Aoun Khan, Chris Walton, and Heitor David Pinto.) Discussion on timekeeping in Saskatchewan has been updated to document its new Time Act, 2026 which comes into force on 2026-10-30. (Thanks to Heitor David Pinto.) No change is expected.
NOTE FOR TEMPORARY HACKS FOR CLDR AND CANADA: This version continues to have temporary hacks to work around Canadian timekeeping bugs in Unicode CLDR releases before CLDR 49 (2026-10-22). These temporary hacks are planned to be removed soon, as they also cause zic versions 2023d through 2026a, in their default mode that generates slim output, to generate TZif files that violate Internet RFC 9636 3.3. The buggy files in turn cause some TZif readers, including tzcode itself, to ignore some 2026-11-01 02:00 transitions to from their old DST to their new standard times and abbreviations. Although the buggy files do not cause any known TZif reader to mishandle UT offsets, caution is advised when using zic 2023d through 2026a to compile data from more-recent tz releases. To work around this problem when using these older zic versions, use ‘zic -b fat’.

Illegal doesnâ(TM)t mean I donâ(TM)t have the right to record, tho. Government doesnâ(TM)t give rights.

When they locked out anonymous access to old.reddit.com, I moved on.

I use Kagi, and that's when I demoted Reddit results so they don't junk things up.

Dude seems to have a very high opinion of the value of his website. We'll see if he's right, but the last 30 years are littered with also-rans who came to the same conclusion.

from an economy-of-scale and efficient-use-of-resources perspective, centralization makes sense.

This assumes that my interests are perfectly aligned with Sammyboy's.

But they aren't, and his proposal is no different than that any other greedbag who wants to own your future.

Allow me to counteroffer: Sam, fuck off to an island somewhere and scan crab eyeballs or something. We'll give LLMs their due attention, pat yourself on the head. Somewhere far away from humanity.

Thief steals from money launderer, and nothing of value was lost.

Equating ICE thugs shooting people in the back of the head with protecting kids is really low-rent gaslighting, but I guess I shouldn't expect a competent propagandist around here.

Be careful what you ask for. You just might get it.

Fuck your bullshit. You know as well as I do that will all happen anyway.

Access never should have been restricted in the first place - civil servant rosters should generally always be public.

And now it is.

This is a super handy list I expect will inform future hiring decisions in many parts of the private sector. It has internal AD group data attached, which should help with identifying job function. Nobody wants to hire dangerous thugs except cop shops and gangs (but I repeat myself).

I work for a company that successfully went fully remote, so I didn't experience much of what you're complaining about.

That said, you're lecturing the powerless in defense of a scam, and it is kinda gross.

There were literally months of articles and lawsuits predicting Oradance would have to make vicious labor cuts because generally (a) media consolidation plays like this always do, and specifically (b) this outfit is drowning in debt. This was as predictable as a Trump whine after a court loss. I can't tell if you're intentionally playing the fool to bang on your personal resentments or not, but Ellison isn't fooling anyone else.

And back on the WFH thing, if folks in your workplace abused things, that's a management problem. Lots of other outfits handle it just fine. We let two people go that I know of who couldn't hold it together without being in an office, early on (I think in 2021). And for several years we've been performing better than we were before[1].

If your army is fat and lazy, you replace the commander, not the grunts.

[1] To be clear, I'm not crediting WFH for all that. There are multiple reasons for our performance. But one big change we made when we went remote was instructions to hiring managers to find the best people they could and don't worry about where they are unless the job required it. And given that geographically we compete with Google and Facebook and the LLM vendors without being able to match pay, that mattered. We've picked up a lot of great talent over the last half decade, and most of it has stayed because management is also smart enough to understand the value of retaining people.

They're just thug gangs. What makes them weird is that they're government subsidized.

That means labor disputes with the government boss aren't resolved with a bullet, so you get collective action like that. (See also Dinkens & the NYPD.)

But it is a great time to clean house in that town! Get some professionals in quick, though - the former cops will figure out their extortion failed soon enough and need income, and they're not going to find anything honest that pays as well as being a badged thug.

Social media moving back to gas station bathrooms. And since there's no gas to buy, the threads are pretty sparse.

Russians are great folks, but never let them form a government.

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Airbnb allowed making guests do it.

They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.

If I amputate your mustache and affix it to myself, am I wearing a fake mustache?

It sounds like you're saying no. I disagree. If I were wearing a wig made of human hair, my hair is still fake, even if my fake hair is made of real hair.

So we have to account for multiple possibilities - the robot could be wearing a real fake mustache, a fake fake mustache, or perhaps one day we'll see them extrude their own.

That assumes (a) there's a price tag on the item, (b) that price updates happen correctly and (c) the barcode/scanner/computer registers the right item.

I will not use them, but that's because of a quirk of our legal system that leaves customers exposed when they aren't with a cashier.

People have been arrested after the fact over self-checkout mistakes that never would have happened had there been a human cashier. The reason is that the cashier signals acceptance of the deal, takes the money, and concludes the transaction. If they make a scanning mistake, or the price is wrong, or the barcode was wrong, or whatever, that's on the store - they accepted payment and concluded the transaction. If you use their robot scanner, you are representing to the machine what you claim to be purchasing, and LP can later review cameras and call the cops if they disagree.

Florida, which apparently is more enthusiastic about self-checkout than elsewhere, has defense lawyers advertising in this lane. I'll deal with humans and nope out on that whole game, thanks.
