Oh believe me, I’m fully aware of the underlying causes for the public’s reaction here.

Yeah I can see how the quote is super misleading.

I’m going to extra hell for laughing at this.

I think you’re probably misinterpreting the quote. Here’s the reporting on this from the NYT:

Mayor Eric Adams said Friday morning that the investigation was “on the right track.” In an interview on Spectrum News NY1, the mayor added: “This person was fully masked, and we used good old-fashioned police work to come up with the picture you have.”

I think what the mayor is saying here is that because the alleged killer was masked, the cops actually had to do some detective work, canvas door-to-door maybe, pull security footage, that sort of thing. It wasn’t just a case of sitting back and running facial recognition on the killer like something outta CSI.

Unless you’re thinking of a different quote.

That sounds quite plausible…

I’m going to assume we all saw those security camera photos and immediately thought of the Drake meme. Because you and I couldn’t have been the only ones…

Yeah, I mirrored it to make the Drake meme format work. But my question is why the police left a mouse cursor in their security camera photo? Here it is in the original: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/800/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2024/12/5/30d31dc7-3902-4f14-aa0f-f6ba39f3a79d.jpg.webp

Fair.

It’s like the old saying, “If you see a child stealing food, no you didn’t.”

He was likely in New York for days before the shooting. Presumably not wearing the same clothes the whole time.

I didn’t see nuthin’.

Oh I like that phrasing even better! I changed the meme. Thank you!

You can do calendar and contacts separate from email. Try Radicale. I’ve been using it for years.

Another container-based alternative in that space is Mailu.

Dude, do you even email?

This guy Overton windows.

People are also expected to understand the concept of manually picking a brand of toothpaste. My point is that if we can’t even expect a little consumer choice (the same consumer choice we have in the real world), then we deserve all the monopolization and centralization we get.

Also, selecting a Mastodon server isn’t like some scary technical choice. It’s like a vibe check and a signup form.

You don’t even need a star cert… The DNS challenge works for that use case as well.

I use Traefik as my main reverse proxy as well for the same reason—container niceties. But then I actually also use nginx… inside container images, like for containers that just serve static files for example.

Use the right tool for the job!

I develop a moderately popular open source project and self-host it on Gitea. But I also mirror it on GitHub and accept PRs there. And one PR submitter on GitHub said they preferred to contribute there because that’s where potential employers look for open source activity.

Could employers also look on Gitea/Forgejo? In theory, yes. But some of them literally ask for your GitHub profile on their application forms…
