The systemd project has announced that to comply with Canada's proposed Bill C-22, systemd will incorporate a mechanism to automatically install the government's public key into the `authorized_keys` configuration of every sshd server.
"It's not about politics in software, it's about ensuring the safety of our children," said Lennart Poettering's Claude agent. "Complying in advance is something we must do, as it's allows us to get ahead of You have reached the monthly limit of your Max 20x plan. Click here to purchase more usage credits."
Fun challenge for slop-curious and slop-native programmers: race the LLM to fix the issue or implement the feature. So far My intuition helps me use fewer "operations" and debug rounds even though the LLM can read and spit code faster.
Best part of working from home is getting to pet a cat or smooch a partner on my way to a water refill.
Been playing matchmaker with my introvert friends.
Fun fact: the direction of the polarization on my phone is the opposite of my computer monitor.
I like to wear sunglasses with adjustable polarization so that I can see a different filter in each eye. The only real advantage is that shiny surfaces look weird as they only reflect the sun in one eye at a time

new post: "be cool, be cyberpunk" -- unpacking a line from @benbrown about owning your data and your devices, and what it means to be a good person while you're at it.
Maybe the real "personal data stores" were FTP servers all along.
90s electronic dance music to fix data migration edge cases to. 😎👍
I'm like *this* close to making my own text editor. 🤪
Evil business idea: Easy Leak Fingerprinting. Rearrange some words/sentances in a message before emailing it out to a list to have invisible fingerprints to track down who shared it externally without them being aware. More robust than adding extra metadata to a file.

A reminder that one of the reasons people love AI as you can ask it to justify any dipshit idea and it'll just write whole documents about it being a great idea, write the PowerPoint decks, the Capex requests etc.
One of the many problems is people don't realise they're a dipshit, and giving them an infinite bullshit machine to flood the zone with makes it almost impossible to argue against - you're pissing in the wind.
Wizards With Guns is my current fave comedy group. Followed closely by Aunty Donna. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiMpuAc0_Nw
How are there still Drake glazers after They Not Like Us got blasted globally??
It's hard to be invested in the moral superiority of shooter game protagonists as they commit mass murder on "the bad guys". Like, sure this "devil rider boss" had done some crime, but my "protagonist" character has killed thousands of people compared to robbing a bank or whatever tf the bad guys do.
Your epitaph is your next opportunity.
Humans are my favorite animal 💜
