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.
An extremely rich person who surrounds himself with doctors & has shown himself willing & able to inconvenience himself practically & socially to extend his life has *no* excuse for getting covid in November 2022.
I can’t believe I’m blaming a dude for catching covid, but by late 2022, having: an enormous sum of cash; the ability & willingness to be weird & uncomfortable; medical professionals on hand; & an overwhelming obsession with your own health makes it thoroughly your own fault.
Just to check for the tiniest chance of good faith – are you having some kind of accessibility issue with ampersands, or are you an extremely weird troll? I’m assuming the latter but if so it’s one of the weirdest swing-an-a-miss trolls I’ve seen in a while.
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
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…
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 &).
The majestic breadth of human language should not be truncated for some buggy soulless machine (heck not even that here, but the fear of one)
It’s a good idea to never use shitty sanitizers on the web, but a great idea to use tags, ampersands, brackets, semicolons, commas, and dashes with great gusto to seek them out wherever they may be hiding.
Computer may say no, but Sailor Sega Saturn says oh yes.

Stop using ampersands.

I think you mean “swing & a miss”
:-P
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
To deter over the shoulder spying my browser converts everything using rot13.
“I don’t even see the RFC 4648 anymore. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead…”
STOP USING AMPERSANDS
look at what the ampersand users have been demanding our Respect for this whole time, with all the & & & we’ve built for them:
they have played us for absolute fools
this made me laugh out loud thank you
I love everyone in this bar.

Man this is next level cargo cult “security” thinking.
Here’s a protip: logoff and delete your account, it’s the only way to be safe.
what in the fuck
no fuck off with this. holy fuck I hate that this is your reason to hassle one of my users
Sounds like a “not my problem” kind of problem & I don’t see why I should care.
@Scary_le_Poo @self what First Day On The Computer shit is this?
haha wtf this is hilarious
Did he get all the vaccines?
