I'm adding hover cards for the meta data section in the @novelwriter@fosstodon.org editor panel. It shows the tag, display name, document (or section) title, and the summary description. I hope this will save me for having to open those files all the time just to check a few details! #OpenSource #Qt #Python #Coding

@TerrorBite Or when the scroll wheel (or finger scroll on the phone) scrolls a box in the middle of the page and there is just a tiny area left where you can actually scroll the page to get past the box. Happens a lot on certain news sites. @tj

@ehproque@neopaquita.es @jschauma@mstdn.social I once asked AI to count characters in a sentence that needed to be maximum 24 characters long. It said there were 23. To be sure, I counted them myself. There were 25. It felt very efficient though.

Checking my emails frequently now to see if my order has been shipped. 😁 I really want to watch the series now after having binged House of the Dragon. I watched the first season of Game of Thrones in HD, but I want to wait for the 4K boxset now. 🐉 #TV #Fantasy #GameOfThrones #HouseOfTheDragon

@W6KME @atoponce Deleting Chrome is the preferred solution for fixing Chrome. It fixes all currently known and future issues.

@django @Migueldeicaza I'm still laughing at "The Claude Delusion" suggested in another thread. 😄

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange If you take away the tinkering to get a piece of code just right, and neat, with a bit of syntax cleanup, plus the back and forth with tesing and tweaking of corner cases, then you take away most of what makes coding fun to me.

@amydiehl@mstdn.social Sidenote: The byline says "Preston Fore, Success Reporter" which says all you need to know about the blow-hards that write this crap in the first place.

@evacide@hachyderm.io Artificial Incompetence at its best!

According to my count, Nicole de Boer is also the 11th main/regular Star Trek actor to show up in Stargate. Armin Shimerman, Rene Auberjonis, Marina Sirtis, John de Lancie, John Billingsly, Jolene Blalock, Robert Picardo, and Wallace Shawn, show up in Stargate SG-1. Colm Meaney, Connor Trinneer, Robert Picardo, and Nicole de Boer, show up in Stargate Atlantis. Robert Picardo is the only regular, and Connor Trinneer a frequent guest.

@twipped@twipped.social Yeah, me too. Our richest people here in Norway are for the most part greedy and selfish assholes who do what they can to avoid taxes, just like everywhere else. @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon@mastodon.social @Viss@mastodon.social

@bignose@sw-development-is.social @benno@eigenmagic.net I'm following this change very closely at work, since I'm the person usually turning on and off Copilot licenses in our company. The new plan is a shared token pool based on the number of licenses. But they're bumping the token multipliers a lot too, so it will be interesting to see how long our token pool lasts each month.

@astro_jcm@mastodon.online They made a zombie movie in the tunnels and buildings at CERN, so no judgement. (It was before my time, but I know some of the people involved.)

@Chagrins @jalefkowit Especially considering how well it integrates with VSCode, which now has switched to weekly feature releases, where 95% of features are slop-generating features.

@kerfuffle@mastodon.online @ehproque@neopaquita.es @jschauma@mstdn.social I enjoy writing RegExes. It's so satisfying when they almost don't fail! (I wrote a neat one today actually. It parses Python dependency strings.)

@knowprose@mastodon.social The worst part, after the vulnerability itself, is the unprofessional and reckless behaviour of Theori on how they disclosed this.

@SeaFury@aus.social Yeah, me too. Been to quite a few watch parties too. It's pretty much ruined now.

@dckim@mastodon.social @swachter@toot.boston @gknauss@mastodon.social Even when they try to do good, many of them like to keep the control. The Gates Foundation is a good example. In the spirit of the analogy, it's essentially the benevolent dictator argument. It is still anti-democratic.

@dckim@mastodon.social @swachter@toot.boston @gknauss@mastodon.social I mean, no one is claiming they sleep on a trillion in cash. The point is the wealth, in whatever form, translates directly into power. That is power they have taken. It is authoritarian in nature. That's the real problem.

@ehproque@neopaquita.es @kerfuffle@mastodon.online Nice, those are rare. 😅 The one I wrote today worked for: package-name[extras]>=1.2.3 but not for: package-name>=1.2.3 Always remember to design it for the complex cases and forget the basic ones!

@bortzmeyer@mastodon.gougere.fr Mine? Sure, here it is: https://pastecode.io/s/d5f7r1vh

I mostly wrote it so I can test all my Linux boxes and VMs for when the fix is in. My main systems have had a proper kernel patch, but some only have the affected module disabled (mainly Ubuntu VMs). My script detects the difference between the two in a readable way.

@paavi Exactly. Last month.

@paavi @DanMorgan April is so last month you mean? 😁

@nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social @benroyce@mastodon.social @stux@mstdn.social Replace "compasses" with "AI" and this still holds up.

@SeaFury@aus.social Same. I still have the filter from last time, with a "Show anyway" button. Not planning on watching the "Caring-About-War-Crimes-Is-Too-Political Song Contest" this year either.

@masukomi@connectified.com I'm pretty sure he has people doing all the shopping. He seems to have no clue how grocery stores work for instance.

@platymew @yetzt Den der is vateverr it is vee speak in Nor-vay ven vee trry to English.

@Elwell@mast.hpc.social @astro_jcm@mastodon.online Yup, that's the one. My old flatmate was a technical advisor. I also know the assistant director. 😊 Looks like it's also on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2523692

@scrivolical@nexus.torment.ca Sure, but David Hewlett is only in one short scene before they depart for the planet to meet up with de Boer's group, and a similar closing scene, so they don't meet at any point in the episode. Joe Flanigan and Paul McGillion are the only regulars.

This is, by the way, a horror-themed episode, which is a bit different from the regular kind of episodes of the show. Mostly, I suspect, because the creators of the show wanted to have some fun, and Mallozzi (producer) and Waring (director) are horror movie fans. They made a pretty good one too. I've seen this episode lots of times, and I know exactly when the jumpy scenes are, and I still jumped a couple of places!

@JeffGrigg@mastodon.social @Infrogmation@mastodon.online Or "sign up to my newsletter" popping up in the middle of the frame interrupting my reading, like on Medium. I have never ever signed up for a newsletter from a prompt like that, and I never will.

@e_nomem@hachyderm.io @dangoodin@infosec.exchange Yeah, Debian released for 13 very quickly, then for 11, followed by 12 by the end of last week. Ubuntu hasn't even patched CopyFail yet, last I checked. Only turned off the module.

@platymew Try anything from former head of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg. He's not the worst example. His father was much worse. 😄

@fionasboots @toroidalcore @MartinEscardo It'll be interesting to see where this goes now that they're starting to ramp up the cost of using it. Using Claude with GitHub will increase in cost by a factor of 18 in June (assuming their new token pool is equivalent to today).

@awfulwoman Favourite quote on someone arguing citing ChatGPT: "Bro, that's not science. You just automated your confirmation bias." 😆

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @knowprose@mastodon.social Debian released a security fix yesterday for Debian 13, but nothing yet on 12.

@platymew @yoasif @jaffathecake Or "Traditional English", "Simplified English", and "Based English", respectively. 😁

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com LGTM, ship it!

@platymew Yeah, his accent is very strong. More than most Norwegians; at least younger ones.

@amydiehl@mstdn.social I mean, if he fired himself, it would solve every possible problem there is with any department.

@bortzmeyer@mastodon.gougere.fr Yeah, I'm probably not gonna bother with it since none of my Linux boxes or VMs have any of those modules enabled. Also, CopyFail was easy to do since the hard part, the exploit itself, was already implemented in Python. The Dirty Frag one is in C.

@pzmyers@freethought.online Actually, I did, but she was at work and couldn't talk. Anyway, it was mother's day here in February, so it's all good either way!

@bortzmeyer@mastodon.gougere.fr Sigh, yeah, I expected there to be more in the same category. The researchers behind Copy Fail hinted to this, but this is yet another it seems.

@identical9213@mastodon.social Thank you! It was a contributed feature from another user, but I've forwarded your message to them. 😊

@log@mastodon.sdf.org @mcnado@mstdn.social Isn't that essentially the fucked up logic behind felony murder charges?
