@aks@scalie.zone I give the jquick team serious props for not removing this altogether.

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social Additionally, I now get to worry about how good they are at maintaining the software that's ordering those maneuvers. Because they CAN'T be doing it by hand.

@colinmford@typo.social This is...not going to be a thing. Real advertisers want to control their message, and this...doesn't.

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange nice! That's been a thorn in everyone's side for way too long.

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @mark@mastodon.fixermark.com @jwz@mastodon.social on reflection, this sounds like the sort of thing that the NHTSA would have an opinion on.

@MimiWhiskers @sundogplanets I believe that it's just a stupid idea, intended to inflate the stock price for the intended upcoming IPO of SpaceX. There is no serious intent to actually launch much of anything.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Oh good, I'm not the only one with that take - I have been seriously wondering if I'd misread things the way people have been talking about it.

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social Oh fuck - and is the software in any way accidentally boxing itself in, so that over the long term collision becomes unavoidable?

@weston I have no experience with GTK, but I can say QT has been getting more and more bloated over the years, to the point that my employer has stopped using it for internal utilities - we'd rather deal with command line stuff than fool with trying to get all the QT stuff to work out.

@jalefkowit Given the ads they used to run, I never understood why anyone went with them. The sleeze factor was always right out in front.

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @mark@mastodon.fixermark.com @jwz@mastodon.social will want to see this - if true the murderbots can lock you in and park themselves on the train tracks.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @ginaintheburg@mastodon.world I mean, like giving the orange asshole a peace prize didn't? FIFA is a seriously corrupt organization, and has been for a long time.

@benroyce @MaryAustinBooks Don't understate the US's complicity in this - we could easily have given them enough to bounce Russia back to the border years ago, and instead we trickled stuff out and ignored our responsibility to Ukraine.

@fsfe@mastodon.social Excellent news - took ya long enough.

@mmiasma@mastodon.sdf.org Alternate title: person who should be smarter than this allows unpredictable and ill-understood tool to have too much access to prod and then gets mad about the predictable result.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca This is entirely perplexing. I know everyone has their own threat models when it comes to backups, but the word backup REALLY implies a certain minimum number of things that you should be protecting against.

@aram This seems like the correct result to me - for the ISP to prevent you doing things requires invasiveness that isn't reasonable, and which would cost an ever increasing amount of money.

@fraggle @pzmyers I had to look that up. It was absolutely as stupid as it sounds.

@hsza @Turre @tante You want red flags around Ubuntu? Try applying for a job - their application is weird (guys, I'm 56, what I did in high school DOES NOT MATTER).

@mattblaze@federate.social I mean...someone who has no idea what they are doing heard a thing is bad, so they banned it. Stupid is as stupid does.

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe It's entirely possible that the person saying 'written by AI' doesn't actually believe that. It's likely they are simply a shitty human who has found a new insult to fling.

@mast0d0nphan@beige.party @baldur@toot.cafe Today's example of why you should read all the messages before replying...

@ifixcoinops I mean, the message has apparently not penetrated, so keep beating that drum!

@RealGene@hachyderm.io @ifixcoinops@retro.social When I was young and saw the things in Ocean City, MD, I wasn't smart enough to spot the issue. That came later...

@dyckron RF is the closest thing to black magic that most humans will ever get near. It works or doesn't based on a DIZZYING array of circumstances.

@sodiboo Given that it also filters out disabled people using screen readers, fuck that shit.

@peterbrown@mastodon.scot @glynmoody@mastodon.social The only good thing about these a-holes here is that they are far too stupid to do anything quietly or in such a way that people won't notice. Our problematic nature is on full display, and anyone trying to pretend we aren't hostile at this point is a plant working against you.

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social I'm all for answering open questions, but...perhaps not like this?

@dangoodin@infosec.exchange Can we just go back to masked ROM, please? When the BIOS couldn't be flashed in the field, it also couldn't be compromised in the field.

@polotek@social.polotek.net 1) I've had some conference talks and I've done CSM training, so I kinda have a clue how to estimate. 2) I'm making stuff up based on a guess as to what is desired. It gets better the better I'm able to break things down, but I'm usually so stressed about today's stuff that I'm unable to really break the new task down well. 3) I have little to no confidence in my own estimates, partly because I CAN'T measure success - too many side tasks to count.

@jwz@mastodon.social @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @mark@mastodon.fixermark.com Which I still find stupid - you'd think they'd want the ticket revenue.

@mei@donotsta.re Insane. Good luck!

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems Excellent news!

@patagona@chaos.social Awesome. This is what you get when things (like filesystems on a USB device) are so complex that virtually no one implements the stack of components necessary to deal with them - your library tends to come with all SORTS of extra goodies you didn't know about.

@ginabythebay@hachyderm.io Do bike shops have rentals for these situations? Seems like a nice sideline...

@ErgonWolf@pawb.fun Yea, that was really a good one. This was another movie where I went in not really knowing what it was about (the trailers I saw were complete ass), and had a damn good time.

@mattblaze@federate.social @ncweaver.skerry-tech.com There's a big wildcard in seeing who the DOJ gets on this. They've lost a lot of good people through the various purges of folks that aren't 'loyal' to the clown, which has resulted in some pretty embarrassing failures on their part. If they end up with the clown brigade on this, it could go sideways for them very quickly.
