  • Since that happens to the best of us, I envision writing a wrapper script around {n,}pfctl that asks for confirmation upon detecting that you're logged in via ssh through a specific port AND detecting that the new rules would block that port.

  • I still find it hard to believe just how few people even ask themselves the obvious : Provides services 'for free', but is one of the world's biggest companies. Where is the money coming from ?

  • If being a corporate hoe taught me anything, it's that you should NEVER sacrifice your health, including your mental health, for a company.

    If you burn out, no colleague is going to care for you. If you fall ill, no boss is going to visit you. If you die, oh, you'll very much have someone from the company go to your funeral : they need to be sure you're indeed dead so that they can stop paying your salary.

  • Recommendations for a source code hosting service

  • Came into the thread just to say this. Very happy and thankful you mentioned it already. I think fossil is THE underrated vcs.

    I'd like to mention https://chiselapp.com/, since OP's wish is, AFAICT, to have a service that's hosted elsewhere.

  • People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"

    Jump

  • I have a similar issue with people panicking about AS 'taking their jobs', or even the world. I'm like, dude, that might happen, but idiots delegating important decisions (i.e., decisions that should DEFINITELY be taken by humans), to the AS is something that's a) at least as ominous b) at least as relevant and c) already happening

  • People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"

    Jump

  • Put even another way, correlation is not causality. Even IF everything were true, the most interesting/relevant information is missing: does AS cause these behaviours? Or does it simply act as a catalyzer?

  • ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing

    Jump

  • I first thought this article was about their self driving cars and I was like who tf gets in a self driving car with their baby. It's not. It's about Tesla cars in general. Scary stuff.

  • Large majority of French, German and Spanish public back tough EU stance on Big Tech, despite risk to Trump relations

  • I think they meant 'because'

  • A real mystery indeed.

  • Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.'

  • I had an interesting conversation today with an acquaintance. He has sent his resumé to dozens of companies now. Most of them, but not all, corporate blobs.

    He wondered for a while just why the hell no one is even reaching out (he's definitely qualified for most of the positions). He then came to the idea to ask a particular commercial Artificial Stupidity software to parse it. Most of those companies use that software, or at least that's what the vendor says on its website. Turns out, that PoS software gets it all wrong. As in: everything. Positions and companies get mixed up, dates aren't correctly registered, the job descriptions it claims to have understood only remotely match what he wrote. Read: things even the most junior programmer with two weeks of experience would get right.

    And it is getting used pretty much by every big firm out there.

    Oh and BTW: There is ONE correct answer to the phrase 'using AI is no longer optional' : Fuck you.

  • PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google

    Jump

  • Er. 'I am done with Google'. Watch the video on YouTube...

  • Why so much hate toward AI?

    Jump

  • Have you never had a corporate job? A technology can be very much useless while incompetent 'managers' who believe it can do better than humans WILL buy the former to get rid of the latter, even though that's a stupid thing to do, in order to meet their yearly targets and other similar idiotic measures of division/team 'productivity'

  • Shit, man. WHY did you have to bring this up...

  • TIL that Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua were briefly united in the 1800s as the Federal Republic of Central America

    Jump

  • So you see...up to a certain point it's kind of our own fault too

  • TIL that Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua were briefly united in the 1800s as the Federal Republic of Central America

  • I'd love to, but I can't. Colonialism's 'Divide and conquer' rule is only applicable and effective if the targets are either willingly in the game (i.e., corrupt enough to collaborate) already relatively divided (i.e. Already fragmented enough), or stupid enough not to realise what's being done to them.

  • I don't want to be that person either, but I really don't think that Sykes is personally to blame for Britain's shitty policies in and for the Middle East, the consequences of which still play a major role in the mess the region still is. Point being that, besides Gringoland, Britain should also be held accountable for the role they have played around the world in everything from ethnic cleansing all the way to supporting brutal, even murderous, dictatorships.

  • Regarding the last part of your comment, a dude called Christopher Simon Sykes, whose last name you might recognise, wrote a book called 'The man who created the middle East'. It's a biography of his grandfather, and an attempt to vindicate him.

  • Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform

  • You can argue all you want about TPM and its 'security'. I ALWAYS thought that forcing users to use TPM 2+ hardware is planned obsolescence and nothing/no one will convince me otherwise.

    The only thing affected users can and should do is to leave that PoS of an 'operating system'.

  • I know this will most probably be an unpopular opinion, but as someone who was born and raised in Central America, I have never understood why these countries are separate countries.
