Besides keeping your software updated and your fingers crossed, the biggest one here is to not install software from developers you do not know or trust. “Trust issues” reach a complete new level when it comes to open and closed source source code

It appears that some sort of AI/Cyber apocalypse is racing our way. Anyone have advice on non-freak out ways to protect oneself?

Hillary Rodham Clinton@hillaryclinton.bsky.social

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Sounds like me talking to my dogs and my wife acting like they don’t listen to me when they obviously listen to me

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

Quite wild how much more productive you can be with Claude Code atm in contrast to Codex

If you read the Walmart's patents, it's pretty wild. For example US11687872B2, granted in 2023: "The price for other items the customer purchases may be varied based on what items are already in the cart, e.g. if a customer has tuna fish, they may be offered a different price for mayonnaise."

Just went to our corner store in Santa Monica, wearing my Germany jersey. Employee: are you German? Me: Yes E: I love the German people. And Germany! *he continues to help me* E: You know why I love the German people? Me: Tell me! E: I am Syrian, and they took care of my people 🇸🇾 🇩🇪 🤝

Very true. And staying independent from big tech is another core tenant here that’s hard to miss, especially in the age of AI

If the cost of generating and maintaining code is going down, open source projects should double down on community, people, helping their dependencies and upstream teams, building trust that they are good stewards of that piece of the ecosystem. Some are sadly going in the opposite direction.

This may be one of the most disrespectful acquisition notes I have read. Cloudflare bought Deno to kill it. I bet all their 5 users are thrilled about it

Supabase still using them? It's not like they haven't had enough shit thrown at them 😅

Whenever our Kangal likes someone, he gets playful and takes their arm into his mouth. I can always see the fear in people's faces 😂

Crazy that this guy got busted 15m from my hometown. Also, right next to Jens Spahn’s hometown. Do we have any solid people in that area? 😅

After I just ran over 100kms in San Diego during the heat wave, my wife *of almost 10 years* asked: “Were you always able to run this much?” 😬

I’m a lot in this AI open source tech bubble but thank goodness people don’t say crap like this in here

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

btw, Germany is turning 36 years old tomorrow. I am 33 and never knew East and West Germany, and the forces that led to it being divided are the same forces dividing the US

Sliwa getting a flu shot: This could be very embarrassing. I’m supposed to be a tough guy, right? Mamdani: I can hold your hand. Sliwa: What happens if I faint? Mamdani: I got you. Doctor: You’re in great hands, literally. New Yorkers can find free flu shots and locations at nyc.gov/healthmap

A death sentence failure should be a crime itself

Attorney for Christa Pike, Randy Spivey, say she remains alive and in critical condition after Tennessee’s attempt to execute her by lethal injection. Her legal team described complications during the procedure and called for her sentence to be commuted. nbcbay.com/9xyEJIX #tennessee
