“what the hell is this shell history, it’s just a lot of `sudo -i`… oh my god, ew ew ew”

(I would be more concerned about shell history on some of the servers I have access to, I’ve seen my coworkers leave `mysqldump -u user -pactual-mysql-password` in there…)

Some chucklefuck published a library with an XML file indented using <space><space><space><space><space><tab> and I have opinions 🤬

Amazing work, @ryanc !

#CrowdStrike

Customer: “I think this feature works poorly in <edge case X>. Can you change it?”
Me: “Yes, I can see the problem, but I’m not sure what the correct behaviour in this case would be. This impacts financial processes, so you need to talk to <customer’s CFO> and get his input on how it should work.”
Customer: “OK, I’ll talk to him. But first, can you tell me how long it’ll take you to fix this?”

No, sorry, it’s only 8 AM, we are not allowed to violate the laws of causality until 5 PM.

The worst part of using both Mastodon and Bluesky is that I get exposed to two doses of mind-numbing “wearing shoes indoors is good! bad! good! bad! good! bad!” gibberish.

@b0rk
I voted for SO MANY, even though RFC 2119 (I remembered that number!) does not define how many that is.

@EUCommission
“others will decide for you”, you mean like you’re deciding to ram through #ChatControl no matter how many of us oppose it?

#Windows11

@shortridge
One of the first things I had to do as a professional developer decades ago was figure out why a client’s homemade CMS was periodically losing all content.
Turns out the admin panel’s access check redirected guests away, but *did not terminate* itself. So a web crawler came in, got the redirect followed by the admin panel dashboard with a list of latest articles, and links to delete.php?article_id=123 next to each one… It dutifully crawled all those, and poof, no more articles.

This is my shocked face.

> companies, including Apple, have restricted their employees’ use of ChatGPT and similar sites

Meanwhile, my workplace just paid for a ChatGPT subscription and encouraged us to use it while programming.

@eater
Oh yeah, my popcorn is fully stocked. We’re also looking into JetBrains AI Assistant, because of course two AIs are better than one.

(Fun fact: we are also trying to get more govtech clients. I can’t wait to see our own remix of UK’s Horizon scandal, hahaha.)

@SwiftOnSecurity
This reminds me of a great short story by David Langford, where a digitized persona of a dead spammer is forced to work to avoid being wiped out. Rather appropriately, it gets assigned to be a spam filter.

Just two more days of this inconsistent nonsense…
