@BobHorowitz@sfba.social the price is too low!

@jwz@mastodon.social how mysterious that they neglected to include an "other" option only in the AI question... fucking weasels!

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu just leave... what is this some sort of abusive relationship?

@bruces that doesn't sound very russian... surely they should hang on until society collapses and the people are living off stolen potatoes?

@ReggieHere@mastodon.social @Colman@mastodon.ie @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us @riggbeck@mastodon.social i took a different approach and left that sceptic isle as soon as i was able. not that i dont respect those with the will to fight the good fight.

@RickiTarr@beige.party somerset maugham's 'of human bondage' forever changed that name for me. hopefully the transitionee had other role models in mind.

@ReggieHere@mastodon.social @Colman@mastodon.ie @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us @riggbeck@mastodon.social we were so close...

@cstross@wandering.shop i'm going with "Die Haut"

the "narrower" version of this is Ken Thompson's Reflections on Trusting Trust. even then the byline spells out the limits of trust, and hones in on the people involved: "To what extent should one trust a statement that a program is free of Trojan horses? Perhaps it is more important to trust the people who wrote the software."

@jwz@mastodon.social best to stick to the old ways - red peppers and milk. bowie knew what he was doing!

@cstross@wandering.shop and the best news? she's still dead!
