The billionaire who wants to live forever just admitted he has long covid. Specifically, covid wrecked his lungs. If you haven’t come across him, Bryan Johnson is a 46-year-old tech bro who cashed out a few years ago and now spends all his time trying not to die.
it seriously took them 21 hours to come up with an excuse, and their excuse is it’s impossible to do the parts of html sanitization you can do with a basic regex and nothing else
This has got to be a bit, in my very online time I have never seen somebody complain about &s hell even with the \ I have never seen people go ‘don’t use the backslash’ just people explain to others why the backslash behaves a bit weird (or how you can escape other characters with it, like for example the &).
I think literally the last place I actually had this kind problem was a case of mojibake in filenames for things that started on a windows fs served under iis, that then went to a btrfs store and chilled there for a while (like, 6+ years and however many kernels), then rsync’d onto a zfs box (on bookworm)
And I literally just slapped the names through a python auto-remapper library after like 5min of searching to fix shit…
Lol why are you so mad? Holy shit it’s not that deep, Jesus. You took this shit all the way to 11.
It’s not a “ploy”, and what I said wasn’t wrong… A lot of sanitizers do not process them nicely. I didn’t realize that something as simple as “stop using ampersands” would trigger a full on meltdown, holy crap.
I guess I should point out that “a lot” != Most.
I am in awe of the butthurt over such a simple comment. Also, stop using ampersands (I’m joking this time… Clearly I can have your ampersands when and only if I could pry them from your cold, dead, keyboard).
Calm down people, it’s really not that deep. Jesus.
The ampersands gets converted to HTML (aka & by various clients).
In general, it’s a good idea to never use ampersands on the web. A lot of sanitizers do not process them properly.
I’m guessing that you are a good bit older (50s/60s), otherwise you would probably know this already.
No one is “comin’ fer yer ampersands”, but it’s worth knowing that on the internet they aren’t a great idea.
oh my fuck I banned them before I even saw this
yeah we must be a fair bit older if we don’t buy their bullshit html sanitization ploy. no idea what web dev is here!
“a lot of sanitizers don’t process them properly” holy fuck

fuckin ampersands man how the fuck do they work

@Soyweiser @self just base64-encode everything then learn to read base64 in your head
“I don’t even see the RFC 4648 anymore. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead…”
To deter over the shoulder spying my browser converts everything using rot13.
For shouldersurfing opsec I’ve switched the keycaps on my keyboard, and now no-one can be certain which keys I’m inputting!
