have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

did the latest Whatsapp update totally break the app on macOS for anyone else? every message beachballs when i hit enter to send, emoji picker broken, can barely interact with messages as the window freezes half the time

Also, it really needs to be said: if you prompt a chatbot with a question and it reads in a way that makes it sound like you're looking for a certain answer, it will probably churn out something that gives you the type of answer you want.

It's so nice to read a book written 25 years ago featuring a truly flawed and reprehensible protagonist knowing the author never had to come online and spoon feed the story to readers incapable of not treating fiction like a book of manners

i've seen a lot of people overcompensating in the other direction as well and it needs to stop. dijon is a very respectable mustard. stop calling it busted. stop calling it an poverty franchise mustard. stop saying dijon is on fraud watch

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

Small persistent pet peeve: activity sites that use "family activities" as a proxy for "activities safe for small children". What if I'm trying to do activities with a parent? There are other "whole family" considerations (ex mobility??) that aren't just kids!
