@MalwareJake It's a gorgeous snek.

Quick check: this is a good snek, right?

Twitter is complying with a far higher percent of demands from governments for user data & takedowns since the acqusition, and hasn't outright denied a single request. If you really believe in free speech on this platform, you should be pissed, because: restofworld.org/2023/elon-musk…

For ICE's 20 year anniversary, why don't we get it a nice abolishment?

Yes, We Asked You To Make Personal Decisions About Risk Based On The Data Then Concealed The Risk And Removed The Data.

Using "+ codes" to create custom email addresses allows for source tracking, which can subsequently inform you of breaches. Here, we can see that @gemini or a partner had a breach that leaked email addresses because that's the only source for the one this phishing is targeting:

There's a bit in Dan Olson's new video about how SF is not intended to be predictive. And he says, "The things science fiction writers invent do not have to actually work." This is not something you would have to explain to a culture that had a healthy relationship with art.

I just did some digging into that “USB Bomb” story. So here is a quick thread on what it looked like, the damage it did, and the pretext. 🧵1/n bbc.com/news/world-lat…

Introducing acropalypse: a serious privacy vulnerability in the Google Pixel's inbuilt screenshot editing tool, Markup, enabling partial recovery of the original, unedited image data of a cropped and/or redacted screenshot. Huge thanks to @David3141593 for his help throughout!

Tech bros: "We aren't racist, SAT scores and IQ tests are reasonably accurate measures of potential" <A semi-literate toaster starts acing their exams> "Ok well wait I never said exactly that, what I mean is- those tests- wait hear me out, those tests aren't, because..."

I have "former helpdesk" in my bio for a reason. For years I thought it some denigrative, a shame. But now it is a badge of honor, a grounding of technical skills where there are no meetings you just work until it's not broken. I didn't have anyone to tell me my skills mattered.

I. Wow.

I've played enough Elden Ring to know I shouldn't go over there

When I got fired from my job at age eighteen I was sad about it for a day and a half and then I realized that a fearful manager could fire you for no reason, because they feel like it. If they want to fire you, there's no way to avoid it.

God, this is the most clownshoes behavior from a business owner I've ever seen.

Surprised and yet entirely unsurprised, because “laundered money for Hamas” is basically the paradigmatic way to screw up AML controls, and WSJ reports Justice Department says Tether… wsj.com/articles/crypt…

@davefarley77 @apostolis09 @d_stepanovic I had a suspicion (because I've experienced it) that when they mention loose coupling it sometimes means what I call occult coupling. Things are still coupled together and have to be changed together, but now there is no compiler or SA tool to make sure that happens.

I feel like the biggest issue with Clean Code™ and patterns in game dev, is usually not the patterns themselves, but people who apply and plan for them too early, before you even know the full problem space you're solving for

almost nobody will see this post, but it’s cool how the Twitter home timeline service just exploded, very functional website
