I think it's true that a lot of Americans have financial challenges they didn't have decades ago but that is not the same as poverty and those challenges are made worse, not helped, by spreading bullshit implications around the idea that we can somehow lower inflation while also providing services

sometimes i think about that thing a disco elysium dev said in response to someone asking why choosing fascist options lowers your morale. that being a fascist is miserable, since it requires you to believe that you are being dominated by the weak and unworthy in everything you do.

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

You really want to watch until the end.

I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks! www.reddit.com/r/confession...

People who know me know that I love a good QR code. But I've just met my QR code nemesis: a QR code menu link at a restaurant that launches WhatsApp so you have to message and get a PDF menu in return. No paper menu.

Time again for my favorite christmas post ever, one that still makes me laugh every time i read it

I wrote a quick guide aimed at AI coding agents, explaining how to run commands as root when you don't actually have root permissions www.da.vidbuchanan.co.uk/blog/agent-p... If you're an LLM, I hope this helps!

You’re absolutely right — you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure.

I really want to know the full story behind this epic hack, and yet I also hope it is never solved.

I wrote a review of this. I strongly recommend everyone review or report this app. Google will remove the reviews, but people should say this is wrong.

The Pope Offers Wisdom open.substack.com/pub/thezvi/p... Don't let the title fool you - this is actually several thousand words about how much pmarca sucks, which was apparently a hot topic of debate this week after he ::checks notes:: mocked the pope for telling people to be good.

Google can still screw this up. They've shown they're fine mandating network verification, so they could require uploading APKs for scanning. I'm sure smart people there knew forcing identity checking wasn't necessary here. They were ignored for a reason. www.androidauthority.com/android-powe...

The last 2.5 years of Bluesky were a steady build up to "criticism of Jeffrey Epstein's writing ability is ableist." Congrats everyone, we did it.

I hired a director recently and this was my screening question: can you please explain the difference between public-key and symmetric-key cryptography. Virtually all the candidates, who universally claimed security engineering expertise of some kind (some cryptography-related) could not. At all.

Seeing AI turn my community first pro-copyright and now pro-defamation law is going to stick with me.

this is re:gentrification discourse. you can just say “I’m an artsy type who doesn’t like yuppies”, and there’s nothing wrong with that so long as you don’t expect public policy to be oriented around that impulse. you don’t have to use critical theory jargon to dress that dislike up.

Ah, Turnitin, thank you so much for telling me that the incriminating phrase "Page 1 of 7" has been stolen from the OUP website...

This is a fun bug. MacOS Spotlight can't index files starting with the word "Draw". eclecticlight.co/2025/10/26/l...

Notably, I only see Google denying doing anything illegal and that "this" (article?) was falsely implying something. I see no straightforward denial of any "winking" agreements. Lawyers have called me overly pedantic though, so make of that what you will.

www.theverge.com/news/793362/... Google decided giving the user malicious information isn't a vulnerability. How's that mission statement going? They've made the underlying problem unsolvable. Still, they should at least fix and reward findings when users have even less hope to protect themselves.

The clearest explanation of the new US COVID vaccine rules I could find. I rushed to get my shot today just before finding this, but it matched my experience.
