@kenwhite.bsky.social I sincerely wonder whether the Git Project knows about this guy using their trademark? I'll drop them an e-mail, just to be sure.

@cjust @mr_daemon In the real world it's "Those who can't do, teach badly" and "Those who can't do, audit the wrong things". I've been on the auditee side as part of a medical equipment company (monitors only, nothing really vital), and the audits clearly grew out of trying to make people do […]

@JessTheUnstill This is a valuable service to world, because we can't fix things if we don't know they are broken. On the other hand, the collateral damage that can result from this kind of thing can make a lot of work for yourself.

@mr_daemon Somebody making policy has no idea what ssh-agent is or what it does, I can just tell.

The Onion on point as always.

If someone “famous” said all this, folks would be all over it. But will your average celebrity repost it? Nah. So most of you won’t either. Because as @driftglass likes to say, I’m not in the club. And neither are you. You’re eyeballs that pay mortgages.

Most American Jews I know are horrified by Netanyahu's war crimes, sickened that it's been done in our name, appalled by Nazi-MAGA's fascist policies undertaken in the name of combating anti-Semitism, and terrified by the anti-Jewish backlash from our friends on the left.

We talk about it a lot […]

@shoq Remember that all of it is being done to support the narrative around the expanding bubble, rather than to make genuinely useful tools, and it all makes sense.

@Sempf @tychotithonus It will last as long as they don't think of it either.

@SimonCHulse I mean, I've said it out loud that way, I've just never written it down that way.

Unidentified Funny Objects 10 is on Kickstarter - the previous 9 have all been great funny SF anthologies, I think we can assume this one will be no different. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ufopublishing/unidentified-funny-objects-10

@ai6yr I think this operation falls under 'some bastards dumped their radioactive waste and we do NOT have the budget to clean this ups, so...sunflowers!'

@sarae @ai6yr I freeze a lot of the shrimp I buy.

Just realized I forgot to post my annual advice to college students before the school year started – but well, it's never too late to start:

- GOING THE FUCK TO CLASS

- GOING THE FUCK TO BED

- DOING YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK

THIS IS THE MAGICAL TRINITY OF NOT HATING YOURSELF OR FEELING YOU'VE […]

@jonikorpi Nobody much cares what technology you implement your game in, they just need it to be fun to play. The only time the technology is a problem is when the user suddenly can't play anymore due to a tech problem (i.e. remote license checks for single player games)

And cancelled Disney/Hulu/Max subscription. Perhaps they'll take the hint soon.

@ai6yr You can bike mount anything if you try hard enough.

Dear Lazyweb: I'm now working with cellular modems at work, and we're trying to figure out how to determine if a new modem is likely to function better (get a signal and communicate) than the old one. Optimally, we'd like to pay a lab to analyze the two and tell us that the one is better than […]

@waldo.net The only upside is they won't be able to go back and change the data and pretend nothing happened. Which makes me wonder why they are doing it at all.
