Björkus "No time_t to Die" Dorkus

the average bluesky discourse is stuff like "what? i should pay workers? that sounds like they're just rent seeking" as people drop words into sentences like they're materia in final fantasy

1. Lose election 2. Assume Trump will steal election for him 3. Trump is flailing around and failing to steal his own election 4. Oh shit oh fuck

honestly prosecute merrick garland too

although i do try and hold a more nuanced view like "machine translation good, extractive corpus bad, duty of care missing" i simply do not have the time or energy or good faith to talk about the finer points, especially when it feels like people are simply carving out exceptions for themselves

Anders Folk may not call himself a Republican when it’s convenient for votes, but Republicans know he’s a Republican.

After reading through the HTTP explosion due to a shared C library and the brotli shit, and seeing that it is ABI-compatibly mitigated by Rust..... ..... Mmmmmmmmmm.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

that bad behavior broke containment so hard my HAIRDRESSER brought it up she has never seen a CVE in her life

please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die

"why doesn't this tech journo know about programming languages" unfortunately, my dear brothers in christ, a tech journalist is just a business journalist who knows the hot keys for copy and paste the job is to talk about consumer products, stocks, and mergers not hash tables and sort algorithms

we've identified another vulnerability leak. now hackers on the dark web have identified your bad knee and that weird thing your shoulder does if you sleep on it wrong. there's no patch available for this, they're now just keenly aware you feel like your career has stalled out

I've had someone unironically argue that it's actually good if all these jobs are lost to AI because it's actually better when people make things as a hobby instead of "selling out"

the PHP security bug patch is a nightmare, our server is patched but this thing looks more like a desperate attempt to patch hundreds of different leaks than a straightforward single bugfix, I do not trust that this is over…

sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

it really does feel like they just got away with unprecedented amount of theft of expertise, and are now profiting off of it while replacing the professional opportunities for the very crafts and humans it trained on I never thought I would see the concept of expertise get so devalued

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you package/distribute/maintain root stores or chain verifiers, act immediately. If you know how to remove trust in a root, consider doing it now. Otherwise, prepare to update systems as patches/mitigations come. Go users, update to Go 1.27.3 or Go 1.26.10.

A new one I kind of just dumped out. Hopefully for C2y, we'll see. thephd.dev/_vendor/futu...
