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.
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.
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 &).
Stop using ampersands.
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
I love everyone in this bar.
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.
what in the fuck
no fuck off with this. holy fuck I hate that this is your reason to hassle one of my users
@Scary_le_Poo @self what First Day On The Computer shit is this?
haha wtf this is hilarious
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.

Sounds like a “not my problem” kind of problem & I don’t see why I should care.
this made me laugh out loud thank you

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!
