To the people tagging me about not knowing what a staging server is, stop it. I know that's not a real thing. You're not gonna get me

it is extremely important to me that after about 20 minutes people think to themselves “where the fuck does this guy come from?”

"we didn't consent to" is a 99.9% efficient indicator of an absolute dogshit perspective inbound, just full disconnect from reality, because imagining communal consent to the actions of others requires this

No need to pour cold water on some fairly effective evangelization. She's also just... right? Closed labs want to capture the ability to perform all human knowledge work, lock it in a box, and defend it with the US government's missiles. They don't claim otherwise

every time i go into the settings i’m amazed by how much useful stuff it has. and it’s free!

i really dislike this purity argument, where having some kinds of restricted mutation preserving strong guarantees is the same as “doing almost nothing to restrict normal mutability”

it turns out saying “can we just trust this one user device a little less than the others” is really annoying on (free) tailscale

i think responsible disclosure is an important ethical norm to uphold, especially when the number of potential reporters has massively increased

"every person can have a well-constructed pair of shoes" is upstream of "it is no longer economically viable for every town to have a cobbler" and we are better for it

i still like dicking around in the terminal and figuring out how to use my tools (i really like qpdf for any pdf work) but expecting other people to do that when they have access to the Do Drudge Work For Me machines is almost adorably childish

This post is unavailable.

no! don’t you want to preserve the human soul in pdf modification and data extraction?

i need to build an insane homelab with bizarre rackmounted gizmos immediately

i think vagueposting about vulns because you got into an argument with a maintainer is poor posture

hailey@hailey.at

huh? software that is open source has always had channels for submitting information about security issues. PHP is open source and…people collaborated with them on the disclosures. you’re under no obligation to do work for them, but not even emailing them to explain your findings is not it.

everyone is dooming about AI in game dev but i know in my bones that we are entering into a truly golden age of indie games

it’s very interesting to me how the people who are most virulently anti-ai seem to believe that they represent the majority opinion. vaguely leftcoded appeal to The People who are sensible and normal and agree with me

also if you have a technical background and talk about this topic and still think they’re significant contributors to water usage then you’re ngmi
