@BenjaminNelan @cwebber curl -fsSL $URL | bash will become this era's biggest security meme and attack vector

@mattgrayyes wanna have a sweetened drink without the calories? Lead might be for you

@briankrebs "produced in foreign countries"... How many consumer grade routers are "Made in USA" ?
Are there any?

@accudio bah! Knowing stuff, so 2010's...

Let me vibe bro! What are hierarchies man? Sounds legacy

@TheBreadmonkey @AbramKedge

Benjamin Franklin,
Won't you look down over me?
Yeah, I'm a fash collaborator,
But I'm as blue as a boy can be.

When I was walking in D.C.,
I was walking with my heels 3 inch off the shoe;
Walking in D.C.,
Why's everyone laughing about me?

@TheBreadmonkey @AbramKedge
To the melody of walking in memphis:

Put on my clown sized shoes
And I boarded the plane;
Touched down in the land of a fascist brute
In the middle of the pouring rain

@mekkaokereke lol wut? Why isn't he suing the other cops making fun of him then?

On a side note: acab apparently also true for colleagues... harming poor lemon pound cake like that with cop-on-cop violence smh

Regarding AI performance: "Coding works if you measure lines of code and pull requests," he said. "Coding does not work if you measure quality and team performance. There's no evidence to suggest that that's moving in a positive direction."

It's a fucking tragedy that this profession has not been able to beat this simple fact into their feckless managers over the past two decades ‍‍

@davidgerard oh shit, did you just uncover a black market RAM racket being operated by Lenovo service techs?

To be fair, these things are probably handled by some anonymous sub-contractors...which makes the RAM theft more likely

@AG100pct @hacks4pancakes the big boy club rolling up to Davos like

@Natanox that thing about bypassing CI and merging untested code into a protected main branch seems like a quite serious race condition the good folx at GitHub (lol nope probably just some mindless copilot) should look into though o_O

@mhoye the fuck?? They want to pay their engineers in inference tokens now? ‍‍

@autonomysolidarity so that means data centers actually become legitimate military targets and not civilian infrastructure?

@Wally I remember thinking during history classes "wow how did the Weimar Republic turn into the Nazi dictatorship in like 15 years?"

I think I get it now... 15 years, in hindsight, on the pages of a history book feels like the blink of an eye.

While you're living it, it feels forever and so many little things fall into place piece by piece, while a quarter of your adult life passes by, until you turn around and ask yourself:"wait, what happened? How the fuck did we get here?"

@AndrewRadev @kunev I vividly remember having to discuss an essay article from the NYT or Guardian about "Visions of the future" for my English final exams in 2011.

In it the author described scenes where users' soon to be ubiquitous AR glasses, might show them likable cartoon characters from their youth instead of homeless people on the street.

This feels like that

@irezugasti 🤮🤮

@rysiek I'm not a lawyer, much less international trade law... but I have the strong suspicion that mighty Dear Leader has missed the fact that he probably can't single out Spain when there's established free trade agreements with the European Union

@jascha they want you to know so bad, they've devised a whole elaborate system around publishing their research.

They're holding regular conferences and publish everything that's been presented there as "proceedings".

They _teach_ at public institutions to make sure more people know each year.

They want you to know! That's literally their job

@BrianJopek evangelicals will be our undoing ‍

@mattblaze literally:"The beatings will continue until morale improves"
