"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

if you argue for data rights in an article and then use a generative slop image as the article header you automatically forfeit all rights to be taken seriously for the rest of your days

The big Hackaday piece about what's gone wrong with hacker camps is out, and I am not even singed. Either I hot the mark, or nobody cares. :)

Here’s something that has taken far too long for Microsoft to remedy - better late than never. This has been abused for far too long by malicious email folks. Credit to MS for finally cleaning it up.

If you’re legitimately using *.onmicrosoft.com for your sent mail, first slap yourself on the wrist. Second, better setup your custom domain quickly or face restricted outbound mail flow.

This is the EVILEST thing I've ever seen...

I'm dying here. Just had a customer come in, asking where his drink was. We never got any mobile orders for him.

"I asked ChatGPT to order it for me and it said I could pick it up."

Remember that dude with the Plasticine Action tshirt, with the pic of Morph on it, who got arrested for wearing it in London? He has set up a site selling the tshirts with all proceeds going to the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). You know what to do! ⬇️ plasticineaction.com

I tried a GitHub Copilot PR review as it's been ages since I last did.

It was wrong on 3 out of 3 suggestions it made:

1. It suggested inverting the IP ACL and API key check such that it'd have allowed anyone to purge anything from our CDN cache
2. It said I'd got some basic logic wrong (I hadn't) on 1 of ~20 changes of the same type (var not set or var == "" -> strlen(var) == 0)
3. It made up a service name and wanted me to use that

What a pile of shit.

You don’t have to be crazy to be employed here. We’ll train you.

No, I didn't "forget your name", I didn't store it in the first place, it's called being GDPR compliant.
