OK so it’s the same. That’s sad.
Weirdly, the website loads fine, but clicking on the litterbox link just loads forever.
Interestingly, the catbox FAQ mentions pomf.se which redirects to uguu.se which supports API uploading and is FLOSS/self-hostable.
- Comment on [Important] Catbox Needs Your Help 21 hours ago:
I often use litter.catbox.moe (auto-deleting) because I can upload via command line. But it’s so slow sometimes that it’s unusable for e.g. including images in comments. Is that also the case for catbox.moe proper?

I love the QAA podcast! A little behind on episodes, I listened to the insanely funny Becoming Candace episode last night.

- Comment on Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? 1 day ago:
Big people have a server at the “office”.
The office is a boring place where big people go and do boring things.
Offices are why big people get grumpy, and say bad words.
But guess what?
Some servers aren’t boring.
They don’t go in offices…they go in houses!
Maybe in your house!
How does it get there?

Is it better than
nano? nano has all the standard Ctrl-based keyboard shortcuts these days, syntax highlighting etc. - Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Sounds like there’s some justification going on, likely to cover up uncomfortable feelings. Good luck with uncovering. Judging by my own efforts, it’ll be a long journey.
Obviously you should also talk to your dad.

How’s your mom? What’s her view on these things? Asking her would be my first step to solving this ethical conundrum.

- Comment on bet you can think of more 3 days ago:
Many scenarios would account for that, i.e. changes in the newest version would not overwrite the old and preferably there’s an easy way to access all versions.
- Comment on Tesla said it didn’t have key data in a fatal crash. Then a hacker found it. 3 days ago:
Tesla’s attorney, said in an interview that the company was “clumsy” in its handling of the data but did not engage in any impropriety with regard to it.
You know what really ticks me off? Every driving Joe and Jane learns that negligence or ignorance or “clumsiness” does not excuse you from breaking the rules.
A very basic tenet of lawfulness. Which does not seem to apply to multi-billion-money-corpos.
- Comment on It's weird that we "take a shit". I don't know what other people are doing, but i definitely leave a shit, not take it 3 days ago:
I’m going to have a shit. Which doesn’t sound quite right either when you look at it that way.
- Comment on MAGA Puts Wikipedia in Its Crosshairs 3 days ago:
Yeah they have those “favorite links” or some such on their main page, it’s a cringe fest.
At least now they have (some) sources in their articles, that’s relatively new. Still, I 'm not sure I even want to know what those are…
Video games are addictive, train young mass murderers, and promote liberal talking points or ideas.
I feel one of those is not like the others. Not that the other 2 make more sense.
- Comment on FTC chair alleges partisan filtering by Gmail; Google says spam filters not ideological 4 days ago:
I remember several articles mentioning how Conservatives get dubious spam/phishing mails directly from the government/MAGA newsletters they signed up for.
So yeah, I guess being against spam is partisan now.
- Comment on MAGA Puts Wikipedia in Its Crosshairs 4 days ago:
Ever since Covid19 I heard people saying “Wikipedia is not objective”. Initially, a hard argument to go against, but my ultimate answer is this:
Encyclopedia Britannica is not objective either. No *pedia is, online or otherwise. Nothing is. And still Wikipedia is one of the best options out there, not lastly because of how it’s organised. [That said, it does have - usually right-wing - strong bias in places, esp. non-English content which would need more eyes.]I’m not surprised this is now mainstream MAGA speak.
I just hope Wikipedia is still international enough so that its content is ultimately out of the US government’s reach.
They already have Conservapedia (click and weep), let them enjoy and contribute to it!
- Comment on MAGA Puts Wikipedia in Its Crosshairs 4 days ago:
NS Fascism had several ties to the USA, not least Hitler himself admiring and copying tons of ideas. Esp. their Eugenics movement.
So, what I mean is common roots before 1933 and initially strong support after he got to power.
I’d like to back this up with a suitable article but I can’t find one rn.

- Comment on YSK that you can usually tell news site's bias based on how complimentary the picture they attached is 4 days ago:
That’s definitely part of what I meant. A mistake (not only in my opinion) many European media outlets made wrt far-right populism.
- Comment on YSK that you can usually tell news site's bias based on how complimentary the picture they attached is 5 days ago:
But what if that person is bad and stupid? Is anti-Trump news “biased”? To me (and most of the world) it’s just common sense.

- Comment on Heartwarming 5 days ago:
Came here to say this. Kids were employed because A) it was easier to exploit them and B) they were simply smaller and could get into the corners of those big machines with rattling open cogs & chains etc.
The cynicism behind such decisions is heartbreaking. I mean even back then they could have designed the machines so that an adult could oil them while they’re running. I guess nobody ever thought of it.
And just let me add:
This is why we have socialism. Without it, who knows where our industrialised societies would be now. Even the most conservative or neoliberal shitbag massively benefits from what they fought for 100-200 years ago.
- Comment on Heartwarming 5 days ago:
What the actual… for a moment I thought you maybe were trying - and failing - to be sarcastic - but this reads too much like a real opinion. A real clueless shitbag opinion.

- Comment on 'Ad Blocking is Not Piracy' Decision Overturned By Top German Court 1 week ago:
I agree: website owners cannot tell people how to read their sites.
But they only re-opened the case; nothing happened yet.
And considering how the very similar youtube-dl DMCA takedown failed so utterly, I don’t think this will go anywhere either.
But yeah, companies will try again and again.
There’s also an important point not addressed in the above comment: Springer is specifically sueing Adblock Plus (and not the way more popular uBO) who have a commercial model where companies can pay them to let their ads through, and some other fishy practices.

AFAICS the author is talking about UX getting worse, not actual breakage. He describes a classic case of platform decay.
- Comment on My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse 1 week ago:
Yet updates on commercial platforms* rarely allow you to do separate between security upgrades and everything else.
