This notification in the start menu is to get me to sign in so they can serve ads all over the OS, right? No thanks.

@jackyan Not twenty minutes ago asked git ops what the hell was being sent to/from all our Windows endpoint images and to make it stop unless it pertains DIRECTLY to work. Telemetrics, nags, ads, news feeds omg??? I know he is crying around here somewhere... all my old baseline is out of date years ago... but it looks like they just unbox lenovos and let them loose as is. omg.

I am sure there are really good engineers and designers at Microsoft. I know so in fact.

Thing is; the sum of your efforts do not reflect this.

Recently wandered over to Group. Microsoft everywhere. I haven't used Windows recently, never saw 11 before. WOE do people use it? Objectively hot garbage. UX sucks. Ads and nags popping up. Context menus don't have a copy. Start menu has news items and all sort of shit. NSFW! I don't care if you think iTs cOnFIguRaBLe - I literally do not have time to do that nonsense. I don't need to know. I don't want to know. Now Outlook crash. Big feels for the poor sobs stuck with this crap.

Tell you what. We won't even sink the landing ships, assuming they can make it to shore, or shoot down the decrepit Il-76s. If they can fly to shore.

In the history of there have been very good and very bad. Who can even remember the dark times corny, cheap production before the Chris Ecclestone revival? Dr Who E02 tonight was a first. Did not make it through the episode. E01 was absolutely dire but at least we watched it all. Unfair to expect actors to carry scripts this awful. Feel very sorry for them. They trouped on bravely. 🫡

Making it acceptable to kill someone with different politics is not anything like the rule of law. If you follow this policy to its logical conclusion, it doesn't go anywhere good.

I’ve been in this business, writing software professionally, since I started my first software business at 16 in high school an an Apple ][. That’s 45 fucking years. It would never occur to me to steal other people’s code, let alone their likenesses, voices, or art.

Just eject these thieving “AI” companies into the sun. These people, and the VCs that fund them, are a cancer on the software industry.

Tesla is on its fifth consecutive week of layoffs.

Cutting once and cutting deep is typically recommended as a way to address the morale and trust issues that come with layoffs.

Unsurprisingly Tesla has decided to Think Different™️ with its approach.

@carnage4life And you know that 10% is completely arbitrary, pulled out of a hat because you fantasize about Romans a lot and are an incompetent clown CEO who tried to get the board to award yourself insane amounts of your investors money whilst running any goodwill the brand has into the dirt.

#WompWomp Arizona’s attorney general says Rudy #Giuliani has been served an indictment in the state’s fake elector case alongside 17 other defendants for his role in an attempt to overturn #Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Giuliani’s political adviser, Ted Goodman, confirmed Giuliani was served Friday night after his 80th birthday celebration as he was walking to the car.

Knowing that all the public web is the foundation of LLM models makes me wish I had published far more blog posts and sites filled with confident sounding grammatically correct and correctly spelled prose that subtly assumes or states the most outlandish conspiracy theories, historical absurdities, and mathematical and scientific nonsense.

Somebody should make an OS-agnostic program that searches the hard drive and returns a count of how many versions of Python you have installed

nf3xn,
@nf3xn@mastodon.social avatar

@demiurg @mcc this only counts the versions pyenv is aware of...

...at least with python you only have to check the disk - it's not like trying to find the ancient java in the mini-computer within your main computer chip

I know if I thought I had a sweet vuln in curl that there would be some proof

  1. for thyself not to make such improbable claims and end up looking like a clown
  2. for others i.e. to show off.

I would find it hard to take any report that lacks one seriously.

Who are these fantastic fire and forget bug finders so l33t they feel they do not have to do this?

7 kilometers in 7 days — that’s the distance you walk in an hour, only it took a week for the Russians to get that far into Kharkiv Oblast.

From analysis I have read this week, Russia has lost more than 7,000 soldiers to take strips of forrest, and small settlements.

The invaders have now reached the first of two Ukrainian defensive lines which run east to west, and with the relatively few soldiers and limited armored resources they have committed, they will likely not get much further.

Carla Bruni has a great, witty history of the "tiny houses for cars" that reflected epochal changes in society and architecture brought on by the automobile. Lots of great photos. https://www.chicagobungalow.org/post/early-garages?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0nR3tmmsFtQQvOnL6Owjl3whmgaKfGkbixfWzrhKQ6-4GcsLLYG2qYyfk_aem_AatR2HcqJcqlx3C9AMDnHhRHKmsR-G7EO4KTk_V-5eRe6Pa-l-G-5bW9jRpz6qC0OB86tM4ucvO619nzUS29_iED
