Irregardless, I don’t think theirs really a difference between the too in this case.

He’s not entirely wrong:

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called " xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people’s computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people’s stereos to steal their music, using the “mp3” program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as “telnet”, which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.

Yea, its sort of weird to me that someone hasnt built some kind of bridge to just convert the front page of a federation instance to a webpage, and even let people make accounts and post

Lol

You kids don’t know how good you have it!

can review it yourself.

You’re a supervisor and you have 2 employees: Bill and Jim. As a supervisor your job is to ensure the work is being done correctly.

Bill is competent and rarely makes major mistakes. Jim does a decent job most of the time … but he’s also a savant at screwing up – he regularly fucks up in ways that aren’t immediately obvious but are guaranteed to cause serious problems days to weeks from the screw up.

You can glance over Bill’s work and be fairly certain it’s fine. You need to go over every single piece Jim’s work to check for problems, and even then some are probably going to slip through.

AI is currently Jim, and Jim has no business writing code for anything privacy or security focused.

I had zero with uBlock – do you have the plugin disabled for that site?

I flew from Jermany to Tanzania and saw some jeriatric jiraffes.

I say it “Jif” because:

• That’s what the format’s creator named it.
• It’s weird, but “soft G” is a thing and acronyms and the only “rule” for pronouncing acronyms is “it’s easy to say”.
• It annoys people that are way too invested in it. Sure, it’s immature – but it’s low stakes and not particularly “shitty”. I enjoy it and you only YOLO once.

I was working with a buddy on a “startup” that was more of a hobby than anything (and didn’t go anywhere). The early prototypes were controlled by Arduino and Pis early on – ease of software development was key as we experimented with and dialed in the hardware. The later prototypes used an ESP32 though, because we’re aren’t idiots.

I’m a hobbyist at best: it kills me that there are well paid “professional embedded software engineers” out there that can’t work with actual embedded hardware. All I could think of was this article on electrical engineers that can’t solder. The complete lack of real world, hands on experience with the hardware blows my mind.

My niece struggled with using a mouse when she was in middle school – her experience with UI was exclusively touch screens prior to that.

The verge had an interesting article on this phenomenon

I’ll add “it’s not their fault”. In the race to make technology intuitive and idiot proof we’ve removed the need to actually learn how technology works past a superficial level.
