@musicman Here's a #Java language thought. In general, many of the complexity and boilerplate issues associated with the language could be worked around, but one issue cannot: The language is owned and controlled by Oracle. It may be a fruitful field for several more years, but eventually, ORCL will extract every possible drop of profit out of the language and its ecosystem, ba… -

@musicman @geniusmusing I'll be turning that plug-in off later today. Hopefully, the plug-in version when 2.0 is released will be fixed. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/277040 -

@geniusmusing @musicman I doubt that they cut it off when they said they did, but https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/java-se-support-roadmap.html says that applet support in Java 8 ended 2019-MAR. Java 9 and later don't support them at all. -

I did take a #COBOL class in the #1980s, but I don't believe that would qualify me for anything. -

This was once on my list of things to explore, but it got pushed down by all the things that are being added to the list. I should float #UnQLite up near the top, maybe run comparisons with #SQLite. https://www.unqlite.org/ -

Taking that trip to #MO seems to have helped. #GS3 is interacting with me more when we #videochat. Next up is to try to set up multi-way chats, so that the grandkids can know each other better. -

I should probably listen to more CC-licensed, non-RIAA music, but a huge chunk of what I listen to comes from the period from the late 1950s through the early 1990s, and most of that is from the early 1970s through the middle 1980s.
And surprisingly, I occasionally discover artists and groups that I was not aware of, despite sometimes having listened to some of their songs at the time. -

There are varying time estimates for post-infection immunity, ranging from under three months to almost a year. They haven't had a year to test yet, so no one knows for sure how long any vaccine would protect against #COVID-19 infections, nor even whether it would offer make infections less severe after it stopped providing complete protection.
It is just too early to know. -

@mangeurdenuage Yikes. #sonTwo saw that movie when he was pretty young. (As usual, I was at work.) I think he's still afraid of clowns. -

http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22625 Appears that the proof of infringing intent was just unit tests meant to ensure that ytdl works. It might be possible for a quality legal team to sue #RIAA and win a declaration of non-infringement. That said, I've not heard of any foundations stepping up and offering legal assistance, so it probably isn't going to happen. Warning, though… -

I like to visit the Census Bureau and see what their latest findings are. I probably visit once per month. -

#BackdropCMS seems to have been forked from #Drupal. Drupal is naturally complicated, since it is really a set of frameworks and tools for building your own CMS. So it is understandable if a derivative still retains some complexity. #BoltCMS seems to have descended from now abandoned blogging tool #PivotX ( http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22623 ), which itself descended from… -

@mangeurdenuage I used to read "true crime" books. Then one time, I read one about a serial killer and that freaked me out for days.
It was a permanent cure. Now, I'm even careful about reading fictional mysteries or watching movies. -

#BackdropCMS seems more complex and more complicated than #BoltCMS. I might have to explore Bolt soon. -

Governor Newsom is going to dance with joy when I file this year's state income tax. It would be zero, but the state of #California enacted an individual mandate effective for 2020 after the federal mandate went away. -

For those who are unaware, the #RIAA filed a #DMCA takedown request against #YouTube-DL's #GitHub repo. The claim is that ytdl is primarily used for circumventing copyright enforcement mechanisms. -

@mangeurdenuage The one flaw, IMO, is the #RIAA's claim that circumventing copyright enforcement mechanisms is youtube-dl's primary purpose. Most users that I come across aren't trying to amass a music collection without paying, they are trying to view videos without the JavaScript, ads, and annoyances that YouTube puts in the way.
