@ansuz@gts.cryptography.dog @zhenyi@mastodon.social omg all this time I thought the original was the misogynistic version (last panel is him standing smiling next to a woman). Thanks for inadvertently correcting my misconception!

Edit: actually I'm only sure about the image. I'm not particularly good at spotting LLM-generated text.
@AlSweigart@mastodon.social I'd probably spend the entire month in a state of analysis paralysis deciding between all three options.

@Furthering yup. Every sentence has a similar cadence. Not to mention all the em dashes.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social is it me or does this Reddit post read like AI slop to anyone else?

@rl_dane I swear half my aliases are just typo corrections. Just a few:
sl=ls pdw=pwd ehco=echo
It's even to the point where I had to make a custom function to correct, for example, gi tcommit to git commit (I make that mistake alllllll the time).

@ryanc@infosec.exchange @jernej__s@infosec.exchange WSL2 on Windows 10 works nice and fast, if that helps.

@davew@mastodon.social Americans always forget about the 0th amendment: simply shout “NOT A CRIME” before, during, and after committing one, and you cannot be found guilty.

@kravietz@agora.echelon.pl "Google allows the ad sponsors to specify an URL that will be displayed on the ad"
What POSSIBLE legitimate reason could there be for this????
Replying to
@sunfish this actually bugs the hell out of me. The literal definition of concurrent is “simultaneous” and yet for some reason everyone in computers has decided that it means “not necessarily simultaneous”

@vegetarianzombie@mastodon.social @mcc@mastodon.social it works for me, but there was a period of about 2 months where it would re-enable itself every week or so.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it was intentional, but it definitely felt like a low priority bug (as opposed to if it kept DISabling itself)

@grantmc@techhub.social There's a workaround where you can put in a dummy number and click "did not receive verification code" (I used this strategy as recently as a year ago), but it puts your account into a weird state where the phone number is "trusted" but not "verified", and you have to use the apple device itself for 2FA. It also potentially allows whoever ends up with that phone number to steal your account. Maybe not recommended if it's an important account (sounds like it is), sorry 😅
Al Sweigart:
I never connect my appliances (e.g. TV) to wifi. But how do I know it's not attempting to find open wifi and the connecting to those? What happens when appliances can connect to cell data whether we want them to or not?
@pheonix wait, that CVE was REAL???? I thought it was a joke

What version of bash? I can't seem to reproduce this on 5.2.37.

@marcoarment@mastodon.social FUCK. That's what I get for putting off buying the M4 Mac mini.
Replying to
@grantmc@techhub.social Does apple not allow multiple accounts with the same phone number? For some reason I was under the impression that the same number could be re-used across a few accounts (something like 3-5), but now that I think about it I have no idea where I read that, if at all (I might have just made it up).
