Man, banning social media for kids under 16 is going to be fucking hell for the one kid who's a few months younger in their grade. Like being the last kid to learn to drive, and slowly watching all your friends go out without you, but literally never getting invited to the party because it's illegal to send you an invitation.

Two weeks and nobody noticed not a single update succeeded. This is tedu levels of availability monitoring.

@silverpill so I think, in theory, I could switch over to eddsa, and it looks like a number of other projects support it, but it's very much theory and never tested.
And for sure, a lot of projects handle key rotation very poorly, so trying it out means isolating yourself from anyone that doesn't take it well.
I will believe google's seven year support window has changed smartphones forever when I see Google release a security patch for a seven year old phone.
Fun note about Skagen smartwatch. It can't keep time very accurately without syncing. Haven't worn it for a month, and it was off by quite a few minutes until I opened the app.
I heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Life seems harsh, and cruel. Says he feels all alone in threatening world. Doctor says: "Turns out that matrix homeservers written in different languages have json interoperability issues, so you might just get random events or requests that fail signature checks between different types of matrix servers because no one knows exactly how to get it right. synapse, the flagship implementation, simply relies on python’s sort_keys and calls it a day, to hilarious effect." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
I think the git over activitypub federated forge spec should have a whole section devoted to discussing this bug and how to handle similar viral issues.

There was a C grade action movie made many years ago in which the villain exclaims "Good thing I brought my blast goggles" which my roommate and I endlessly repeated to each other for a year, and I wanted to reference it, but Google is useless in looking it up. This is what they enshittified from us.
Awesome. Discovered that I forgot the master passphrase for my server's encrypted disk. Again. After the last crisis, I saved a copy. On the laptop I just nuked. Fortunately, I still have all the disks setup from last time to just copy everything back. Always one disaster ahead of annihilation.
Has anybody ever made a website that used both <b> and <strong> (or <i> and <em>) on the same page for different purposes? (Other than the MDN page telling you that they're different elements.)
