Look around! Autonomous agentic AIs running wild — opening PRs, deploying production. But software engineering is a craft. Conservative, meticulous multi-session vibe-coding beats this hipster agentic nonsense 10/10.

This privacy essay is different from what I see online. I was trying to explore is anynimity online possible and can we escape survelliance from US tech giants. The guide is oriented for an average person. Read it just to see the depths of the survelliance tech. iurii.net/en/blog/post...

People keep saying anti-immigrant policies are bad. They went after every minority at once, saw what gained traction, and leaned all in. Now, they disappear, jail, and murder mainly immigrants. But in the future, any journalist, protester, or teacher will be labeled an 'immigrant' or 'supporter.'

I’m way too old for childish fantasy tales about knights, magic, and dragons. I prefer mature, scientific stories about space knights, quantum magic, and alien dragons.

Long shot but maybe someone in #selfhosted #privacy #lineageos #degoogle crowd is able to help. My webview (v144.0 — modern) reports (apparently spoofed) ancient version "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 8.0; Pixel 2..." ... which breaks cookies exchange with Authentik. repost appreciated

There is a fine line between protecting freedom of speech and equal rights (equal platform rules for users, in this case) and giving a podium to Nazis. Giving users the ability to block is a band-aid, not the solution. Platforming Nazis, however, is a political stance.

Switched to degoogled LineageOS as my daily driver. As someone who ran Linux on a laptop in 2005, I'm seriously impressed by the current state of open source. That said, I wouldn't recommend this setup to anyone …

Can someone explain why no nationwide protest in the US? I see movements are hyper-fragmented. Some want ICE out, others want investigations, others are just memeing. How are you going to negotiate your demands? Do you have support from your representatives in opposition?

Saying "US under Trump" misses the point. Slow-walking aid was the strategy long before he returned. The fact that no policymakers actually stand up to him shows a coherent, bipartisan foreign policy: weaken the EU while promoting the interests of US donors and businesses.

I finally got back into frontend, learned the "state-of-the-art" framework (Next.js), and finished a project with it — only to realize Next.js is now considered obsolete and everyone has moved on to TanStack Start. Frontend. Frontend never changes.

The blood pact has been signed. Trump / Vance confirmed there will be no consequences for ICE as long as they are loyal to the regime. ICE has been ready to commit violence since its inception. You won’t have fair elections anymore in the US

I realized that my guitar unironically eats (maybe half a kilo of) carrots per year. I'm constantly forgetting to buy a proper guitar humidifier, so I just drop carrots inside and then remove the dried leftovers. Now you know this silly fact.

I got the invitation myself and had a chance to poke at the malware. I also uploaded the code to GitHub. github.com/aka-rider/co... README on GitHub explains how malware works. Be careful, I found two different attacks, there may be more, do not clone the repo unless you are 100% sure.

Russia is a beautiful country. The window views are so stunning that people often fall out..

Today I met a couple from Texas at a random European tourist spot. “Where you from?” the man asked. “Ukraine.” “How is it going, is it getting better?” “Not really.” It’s hard to maintain small talk about the war and daily horrors. “Trump will end this war,” the man assured … 🧵1/4

If Russian Orthodox Church (KGB) is not banned in your country, you are doing something wrong.

[...] AI isn’t to make workers more productive, it’s to make them weaker when they bargain with their bosses. Tim Cook’s engineers get beer-fattened, chestnut finished and massaged, but Cook’s factory workers in China are so maltreated that Foxconn had to install suicide nets tinyurl.com/yjcf8rk8

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children—brainwashing and militarizing them, erasing their identity. It’s not just cruelty. It’s a systematic act of genocide.

Russia is deeply rooted in Christianity — just on Satan’s team.

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

ADHD is like running on extremely overclocked hardware — blazing fast, slightly unstable. One might master French Renaissance art overnight… all while procrastinating on house cleaning.

This is a brilliant video, and the title is not clickbait. I’ll give a summary in the thread below, but please-please-please watch it 👀, share it 🔁, spread it like wildfire. Super rich compete with us for the same resources. They buy influence over media, politicians... 🧵1/9 🔽 youtu.be/wPoXOwiEfrQ

A few years ago, I was very surprised to find that all deep neural networks operate not on random numbers but on real-world objects — represented as numbers. E.g. in the hidden layers of a speech to text network are syllables, vocabularies, and so on… 🧵⏬

Fascist Russian/Iranian Shahed drones can now scatter anti-personnel munitions, similar to fragmentation grenades (up to 30 per drone, seen in photo). They are timed to detonate after 50-60 minutes and have a blast radius of 8 meters, Ukrainian military says.

I highly recommend Andrej Karpathy’s workshop. It’s a step-by-step guide on how to build and train an #LLM like ChatGPT/LLaMA. (It took me ~2 evenings to complete). I also ported Andrej’s nanoGPT to MacOS / metal (macs with M chips). github.com/karpathy/nan... youtu.be/kCc8FmEb1nY

Either the American people push back against this disastrous administration, Hegseth and Waltz should resign, and Gabbard receive a jail sentence for for lying under oath, or they accept that law isn’t working, and this is game over for democracy.

We’re burning our planet as fuel for AI to generate infinite hentai, and as a bi-product, AI solves protein folding, potentially saving the planet. Win some, lose some 🤷‍♂️

Breaking: Top Trump officials’ private data and passwords have surfaced online, including Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz, and Tulsi Gabbard. This data could potentially be used by America’s enemies to hack into the unsecured Signal chat where they discussed war plans.

There is a disparity between social networks' graph and the global state of the network — all interactions, ’likes’, follows, comments are global, not spatial. This mismatch allows bad actors to easily manipulate the narratives and spread disinformation (brigading, amplifying, etc.). #atproto 1/3 👇

Here’s an old meme of mine to cheer you up.

Elon Musk has already poured $12+ million into an effort to shift control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to right-wing judicial activists. This is an unprecedented effort to seize control of a powerful state court. And it won’t be the last. Here’s the full story: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

vibe coding (my ass) on a MacBook 36Gb DeepSeek 14B is OK for 1-2 files, but unlike ChatGPT, or Claude, it struggles with simple refactoring (extracting a block into a separate React component). It ignores existing code and hallucinates. ❓ Anyone w/ a MacStudio 128G? how's your experience?
