I walked into to work this morning to a dev IM needing permissions. Instead of telling me what the error message said, which would contain the allowance needed, he needed he sent me a screenshot of what chatGPT said he needed. GPT effectively said the solution was to let him assume any privileged access policy that exists.

I think security teams are fine for a while.

Given how much time I spend actually looking at the screen while the show/movie is on, it might as well be in ca. 2000 RealVideo 160x120 resolution.

The year of the Linux Desktop doesn’t happen when people shut up about Linux.

This is the first I’m hearing it, and I feel like I’ll always be just a little bit sadder now that I know its a thing.

Once upon a time they insisted that Amazon had independent decision making on their providers when they were needing new infrastructure and they “always decided that AWS suited them best.”

Ask Martin Luther

Yeah. Obviously that’s what console.debug() is for.

My 20 year dislike of RoR is finally justified, regardless of me not seeing this coming.

The 24.04 beta of Pop! with cosmic just dropped.

More reasons: Sand and solar panels don’t mix. Any build up on the panels has to be cleaned, and blown sand will etch the glass quikly and lower power output considerably. Additionally, you don’t want to stop sand blowing around. Those air and dust currents are importand to the world. You can’t have a rainforest in Brazil without sand blown in from the Sahara, for example.

Them not supporting Linux makes it easy for me to maintain my personal ban on EnshitificationAmalgamated.

It’s canonical (to me alone) that the HML is the basis for LCARS in the Star Trek universe.

I’ve been using Pinchflat for a while. Its working but a bit rough.

They denied it until the instant doing so was inconvenient to them.

I’m still holding out for Motörheads

So we got rid of most of the useful government data and now we’re paying gas fees to billionaires to store the rest. Great.
