May you succeed in anything as hard as Mozilla fails at pr

@soatok damn not one reply asking for penetration testing

you gotta train your followers better

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

is there any decent, still live project to take twitter/cohost/other archives and build a static site out of them?

I hate how qualified I am for this job

My favorite part of the replit llm db deletion story is when the dev made the llm write an apology letter to the team after it did something he didn’t want it to do.

That letter cost him tokens and therefore money to generate. Just so he could have an emotional win on something without emotion.

Men will randomly generate large codebases instead of going to therapy

the best thing about vtubing is getting to use the term fleshtubing/fleshtuber

sounds like some sort of cronenbergian potato

thanks, usbguard documentation, this is exactly what i was looking for in the way of job security

roko's basilisk is bofh

(this is a reply to me asking for changes in a pr to my bluetooth library)

Lost your job due to startup collapse? Need to find a new one quickly?

Why not interview for 15 jobs across multiple titles/areas at the same time.

Study leetcode problems in 7 different languages. Be able to explain how improper pullup values on i2c lines causes animation lag in CSS on a web frontend. Analyze the UI/UX of firmware for STM32 processors using Rust based RTOSes.

You certainly will not regret interviewing for 15 jobs across multiple titles/areas at the same time.

github has added special bluesky account display to profiles

this increased clarity is definitely going to help my on-going job search

2024's most cancellable kink is AI Vore (people who get off on their content/works being fed into generative models)

This is not to be confused with Al Vore (people who get off on being eaten by Weird Al), which is still considered fine and normal.

the airport is telling you to go have a goodbye fuck in the car

When the glow of the blood stained moon shines upon the land…

(Fuck I’m gonna have to fight all the enemies again on the way back to my car)

LASERCHURCH

(Grace Cathedral in SF with a shitload of lasers pointed at the stained glass window. Holy shit.)

@jwz WTF. How the fuck did no one ever ask for @buttplugio support for these.

There's foot people and bondage people and that venn diagram DEFINITELY has overlaps.

(I do suspect these probably have some sort of encryption on the protocol, other Nike products have)

@Polychrome @arch they had a meeting to decide and baked it into policy.

@arch at VRChat there is a set number of head pats you can give a coworker in meetings before it is considered unacceptable.
