@ContrarianSense @SandyofCthulhu Weird take but ok. I’m not sure what IQ a person has to be to “automatically side with cops”. You’d have an easier time convincing me the Earth is flat than that a cop was morally in the right. Every layer of our system is literally designed to maximize abuse by police.

@SandyofCthulhu That lawsuit is even more evidence of why you should never automatically side with cops - some of them are just authority-abusing shitheads. Police should be held accountable.

You haven’t noticed?! We’re over the moon about it.

I officially declare March 18th "Lemon pound cake freedom Day!" In honor of the Afroman freedom of speech case win.

@neogoose_btw I always loved svg. It’s like markdown for drawing stuff.

Can’t stop thinking about this

@thetomcane @MyLordBebo Exactly lmao. When 15 years ago they were trying to seed fake outrage at self-checkout lanes and fast food restaurant kiosks, I just remember thinking “have these people ever actually interacted with fast food employees??? I would literally pay extra to use a kiosk” 😂

@MyLordBebo To be fair; she’s speaking clearly and is helpful. Massive upgrade from human call centers. Just tell her what you want and see if she can do it.

🇺🇸 AI assistant age will be extremely annoying. They pretend to be humans for awhile … then admit they’re bots.

@DefiantLs @grok where and what is this

"Your language is inappropriate." "It's in your library!" You can't make this up.

We need a crowdfund to put him on Mt Rushmore

@Courtne91162652 @anniealtman108 @KimDotcom Don’t delude yourself into thinking that you can either lmfao. It’s a big club and we ain’t in it

@anniealtman108 @KimDotcom We really don't care. You just can't serve in our government

Jew here who has openly opposed Israel my whole life, who rejected all Birthright Trip offers, because I focus on actual Jewish principles. @KimDotcom where do you suggest I live?

Once every decade or so we “the people” are thrown a bone in the form of a little tiny victory amidst tens of thousands of papercuts. I guess this is the victory of our decade, and we should celebrate every bit of it before bracing ourselves for the dark times that lay ahead.

@RealSpikeCohen I’m surprised the judge didn’t just “throw out” all pro-Afroman evidence, which I thought was the modus operandi for any case where state actors are involved.

It's good that Afroman won. It's bad that the judge even allowed this suit to proceed in the first place.

@WolfofX lol don’t tell her doctor that or she’ll be put on 30 psychiatric pills before you can blink an eye and the CPS will be knocking on your door if you even suggest refusing 😅

@JoeEffOff @GracieNunyabiz @RealSpikeCohen @YATPOfficial This type of shit is literally no better than stoning adulterers in the third world. We’re no better and I say this as a Republican until recently

@GracieNunyabiz @RealSpikeCohen @YATPOfficial By "out of state" do you mean beholden to the same Constitution as you?

Tennessee is considering a bill (SB1868/HB2526) that would lock up foster kids indefinitely, even if they haven’t been charged with a crime. You can help kill this bill today. Here's what happens when kids are locked up without a crime: Hillary Transue was a teen in Pennsylvania. She made a MySpace page mocking her high school’s strict vice principal. At the end she wrote, "When you find this I hope you have a sense of humor." He didn’t. Instead of detention or a meeting with parents, Hillary was taken to juvenile court before Judge Mark Ciavarella. Her hearing lasted about 60 seconds. She was handcuffed right there and locked up. Her mother was horrified as Hillary who had never been in serious trouble, was treated like a dangerous criminal. Years later it was revealed Ciavarella was taking millions in kickbacks from private detention centers to lock up thousands of kids in the now-infamous Kids for Cash scandal. Fortunately for Hillary, she had a loving family and "only" spent about a month locked up. SB1868/HB2526 would allow Tennessee to detain foster kids, potentially until they are adults, without a charge even being filed, based on predictions about their behavior. We’re going to protect these kids from ever being put through that. I’ll explain how you can help in this thread.

World class bait 😅

@HedgieMarkets @SaltyCatChron This is complete nonsense. Even ten years ago no one was as reckless as they are now with npm and pip package sprawl. You can blame AI all you want but this problem started long before and everyone was talking about it. AI will make it a bit worse but the issue is the ecosystem.

@SaltyCatChron 🦔The fundamentals haven't changed, but the scale has. One person couldn't craft 151 convincing packages across different codebases in a week. AI can. The attack surface was always there, now it's being exploited at a pace that wasn't possible before.

🦔 Researchers at Aikido Security found 151 malicious packages uploaded to GitHub between March 3 and March 9. The packages use Unicode characters that are invisible to humans but execute as code when run. Manual code reviews and static analysis tools see only whitespace or blank lines. The surrounding code looks legitimate, with realistic documentation tweaks, version bumps, and bug fixes. Researchers suspect the attackers are using LLMs to generate convincing packages at scale. Similar packages have been found on NPM and the VS Code marketplace. My Take Supply chain attacks on code repositories aren't new, but this technique is nasty. The malicious payload is encoded in Unicode characters that don't render in any editor, terminal, or review interface. You can stare at the code all day and see nothing. A small decoder extracts the hidden bytes at runtime and passes them to eval(). Unless you're specifically looking for invisible Unicode ranges, you won't catch it. The researchers think AI is writing these packages because 151 bespoke code changes across different projects in a week isn't something a human team could do manually. If that's right, we're watching AI-generated attacks hit AI-assisted development workflows. The vibe coders pulling packages without reading them are the target, and there are a lot of them. The best defense is still carefully inspecting dependencies before adding them, but that's exactly the step people skip when they're moving fast. I don't really know how any of this gets better. The attackers are scaling faster than the defenses. Hedgie🤗 arstechnica.com/security/2026/…

@valigo “You can check that it’s Rust by looking at the file size” 🤣😂👍

Let's compare tagged unions in Rust and in C, and then steal some of that type safety from Rust with a bit of a compiler and macro magic so that C can have nice things too!

@JuvenileBluster @RealSpikeCohen @YATPOfficial The truly horrifying part is that (as I learned last week) there are states that currently do this. Which, to me, was I guess what they call a “black pill moment”. Still nauseous from it and at this point just don’t care anymore; will never vote or participate in politics again

@RealSpikeCohen @YATPOfficial Everything I've read about this is just horrific. Thanks for bringing it to light.

@dstibbe @_trish_xD 🎯 exactly. The people who spend hours turning vim into vscode didn’t master vim at all; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. They missed the whole point of it!

@_trish_xD only thing needed in .vimrc are hls and nonumber. Any other messing around in .vimrc is not 'mastering vim' but just procrastination. Learn how to search/replace, record and replay. That is all.

people really think mastering vim makes you 10x. bro, i've seen devs spend 3 hours configuring their .vimrc just to write a function that could've been done in vscode in 10 minutes. the real 10x tools: - git (actually knowing rebase) - grep (finding that one log line in 50GB of logs) - gdb (because printf debugging only gets you so far) - strace (when your program breaks and you have no idea why) - make (build systems that don't make you want to cry) tmux is cool but let's be real, most of us just use it to keep ssh sessions alive.

@yimbosf @jeremyphoward @neckbeard_luvr @levelsio Oh you said without zooming. Hm, would you install a plugin for that? I’ve been itching to write one and this could be a good start

@yimbosf @jeremyphoward @neckbeard_luvr @levelsio Then just temporarily zoom into the pane and you can select with the mouse

I hate tmux It's so incredibly user unfriendly The shortcuts make no sense I wish someone would make a better tmux Even just logging into tmux attaching the screen is an illogical hell to type Again I hate tmux, it's so shit

@yimbosf @jeremyphoward @neckbeard_luvr @levelsio You have to use tmux selection not your terminal emulator’s. Learn how to select & copy in tmux copy mode (there are two — emacs and vi mode), and then you just pipe the tmux buffer to pbcopy/wl-copy/whatever.

@jeremyphoward @neckbeard_luvr @levelsio How about selecting text when you've got horizontal paning? Without zooming

@jeremyphoward @levelsio I think the complaint is the “old guard” key bindings that use a prefix key to trigger an overlay instead of the Windows & Mac ctrl/alt/super+whatever, but it has to be this way b/c of how tty input works. I just wire the Windows key to send C-b and it works great. Love tmux.

@levelsio Typing `tmux a` is too hard? I don't get it. Of all the complicated and weird tools on linux to pick on, why tmux - it's so straightforward.
