I’m a programmer. There is a narrow lane of things I will trust it to assist me with, and none of that without review. I’m not worried about my job in the slightest, barring a significant leap in the tech that I frankly do not see happening any time soon.

All these people building vibe coded products are building houses of cards that are more likely than not security nightmare black boxes.

The issue with the majority of the Catholic Church wasn’t that they were pedos, it was that they weren’t willing to do anything about those within the church that were pedos. It’s not even limited to pedophilia, even; they turn a blind eye to many things that would cast the church in a bad light. Better to keep it in house and sweep it under the rug. I had an (adult) family member who was sexually harassed by the principal of the school she worked at. They sent everyone to sexual harassment training, including her, rather than deal with it appropriately. He was not fired.

Don’t feel bad, we all have to make tough decisions on what’s best for us and our families.

US District Judge Darrin Gayles said Trump came “nowhere close” to showing the WSJ acted with actual malice towards him, which is the threshold for defamation cases in the US.

The standard for “actual malice” in defamation cases is that the plaintiff must prove that a public statement was both false, and that the news organisation or individual who made the statement knew or should have known that it was false or acted in reckless disregard of its falsity.

Murdoch vs Trump? Let them fight.

Who among us could’ve guessed that Mr. Casino fail would get got by a hot hand fallacy…

I’m holding onto my classics but anything else I delete when I’m done watching it.

My Jellyfin server is doing great. My only constraint is my free disk space

Fair enough, happy Moopday to Mr. Moop

Is this a Seinfeld reference?

Sawsall with tungsten blade may be able to cut the pole. Just wear a mask and a hi viz vest and people may even assume you’re supposed to be doing it.

Praxis, if you will

If you were to ask for the personification of “The beatings will continue until morale improves” I’m not sure you could do much better than Pete’s dumbass face.

You can say Nazi. Self censorship doesn’t help anyone other than advertisers

I’m zooming in to attempt to name and shame the author, but it’s too low rez. Hopefully the sick fuck is dead

I use a safari plugin called Wipr. There’s another I’m aware of called Vinegar

Lots of ways around this, even on locked down iOS/iPadOS

Yarr? Yarr!

He may not have coined the term, but Gucci’s full quote is an all-timer

If a man does not have sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can get lost in the sauce.

While I don’t think he’s a good rapper in the technical sense, there’s something I absolutely love about Gucci. I play his East Atlanta Santa Christmas songs this time of the year, every year.

Haha jellyfin go brrrrrrr

I agree that it’s harder to find tech that doesn’t require EULA acceptance, service subscription upsells, or other modern BS, but they’re out there. I just remember how difficult getting a lot of stuff working was 20-30 years ago.
