emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com There was a root certificate authority #compromise a couple days ago. If you manage software things, it would be good to update your stuff. Apparently the certs were generated wrong; the private key for one of them is 4 (not a particularly difficult number to factor).

#CNN now predicting that after months of high temperatures this Summer, over the next few months we'll see a big cooldown and will see the lowest temperatures since Spring. www.cnn.com/2026/10/13/w...

So normally if you're convicted of a crime, you serve your sentence you're free to go. If your sentence is #lethal #injection, then after that sentence is carried out, you're free to go, right?

The #StackOverflow developer survey results are in… Summary: 2/3 the respondents from last year, less than 1/3 compared to 2023, it's mostly about AI, and is skewed toward inexperienced male devs. IOW, nobody cares. It doesn't cover things real devs care about, and you should ignore it.

The problem isn't that AI is a waste of time, rather it's that the things AI are "good at" are a waste of time.

I'm imagining the meeting where the CEO says I need to build an #AI "kill switch". I'd be like, ok... what do you want this "kill switch" to do? He'd be like "It stops it!" I'd be like "So you want the ability to exit the program when you click a button" "Yeah just like that" "Ok ..."

I have to click through 3 scary messages in #Safari to access my own wifi router, because #Apple thinks it's trying to steal information from me. Joke's on you, Apple! It's not stealing, I give ALL of my internet information to 192.168.0.1 willingly! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

How come fossil fuel CEOs aren't coming to Congress and demanding regulation to stop their products from destroying humanity like #AI CEOs are?

Looks like the supremes have decided that I will be allowed to vote in the midterm election.

Y'all think this sudden call for #AI regulation about "safety" or whatever. That's just another part of the con. LLMs are good for a handful of use cases, but the rest is snake oil. The scary parts - like a human deciding to plug in an AI to a gun - won't be fixed by regulation.

#AI developers: "we have no idea how to justify all this cash anymore, we need regulation as an excuse for why we can't live up to our lofty promises"

#AI developers: "we need regulation so that when we do something wrong we'll be able to blame it on the regulation"

#AI developers: "we can't be trusted, regulate us!"

#AI viral marketing is running out of ideas First "it's so dangerous the gov't won't let you have it," then "it commits cybercrime by all by itself." Now, "we have to slow down or everyone dies."

The new AI-everything in search engines is just an admission that search engine companies are no longer capable of providing useful search results on the web. I just want a search covering the handful of useful websites that still exist: blogs, reddit, wikipedia, forums, news. Is that so hard?

A federal court just sided with Oregon, ordering USPS to hold off on enforcing its new mail ballot rule while our lawsuit plays out. This ruling keeps Oregon’s elections where they belong – and voters can trust their ballot to arrive securely and on time.

Ah yes, more mandatory company "training". I can only assume that the companies officers make their employees take them because someone at an insurance company or bank told them that it was "mandatory." What I don't know is who told the ins co or bank to do that. Who's pulling the strings here?

Thanks to social media, many interesting conversations start immediately after someone emerges from the bathroom.

They call it social media because scrolling is something you never do alone.

If I have a pound of ground beef, does it all come from the same cow?

people who go jogging when the aqi is over 100: ugh, what are you trying to prove, virgin? people who still sit outside dives rippin cigs: whoa, check out the chad who doesn't care if they live or die

This is an experiment. I have two open windows with old MERV 13 filters sealed to them. The goal to reduce indoor CO₂ while keeping out the absolutely awful levels of #wildfire #smoke (over 120 µg/m³ PM2.5 currently). So far, it's keeping the smoke out, but CO₂ is still high. We'll see.

Thinking about building a space rocket to send my children to a planet that has a yellow sun, to keep them safe before this world is destroyed.

By the way, even if you don't use NPM on purpose, you might still be using it. For example the #python language server in #VSCode uses #npm. I don't know if VSCode is impacted or not but there are a lot of places where NPM is used that aren't necessarily obvious.

Big #npm #supplychain attack. Devs and people using nodejs-based tools, check your stuff. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit... #chaindrop

Another #eBay purchase, another fraudulent item. This was an Apple Watch, sold as "new/sealed", but was previously activated, and bricked. The tech's theory is that it was jailbreak it and failed. Makes me wonder how many watches are sold after the jailbreak was successful.

Oregon, tell your senators also to vote against permanent Daylight Saving Time—and to support permanent Standard Time instead, for natural health and balanced light! thatoregonlife.com/2026/07/most...

I love that my #iPhone is now judging my lunch choices.

The #wildfire smoke is blocking out the sun, so instead of 100°F today it's only 90°F. #newnormal

I love it when the Air Quality Index and the Temperature are the same number. Ah, summer in Oregon. #newnormal

Omg what a game #WorldCup

6-5 France, who’s with me? #WorldCup

@atlassian.bsky.social has decided to greedily profit from YOUR data to by using it to train AI models. This is a violation of trust, and a huge security hole. I can't wait for hackers to simply ask the #JIRA LLM for a list of bugs to exploit. support.atlassian.com/security-and...

Boo #FIFA Unfair and way harsh #redcard because the ref screwed up

I accidentally left #javaScript turned off on Safari, and I'm amazed how functional and much less annoying the internet is without javaScript. My CPU also isn't running 100% loading zillions of ad videos. No obnoxious autocomplete, or stupid sites disabling copy&paste etc. Refreshing.

It’s official! Neither is better, but ketchup maintains a slight edge over mustard. #WorldCup #🇨🇭#🇨🇴

With no clear winner in the battle between ketchup and mustard, we must take extra time to decide. #WorldCup #🇨🇭#🇨🇴

The battle between ketchup and mustard continues. #WorldCup #🇨🇭#🇨🇴

WTF is this game #WorldCup #MEX #🇲🇽 #ENG #🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I guess it's time for King Charles to call #FIFA and get that red card reversed. #WorldCup #MEX #🇲🇽 #ENG #🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
