@KillingAndKindess @alyaza B&J's have always been quite principled and outspoken about it - they're also staunch critics of the US prison industrial complex.

@fossilesque Don't forget those of us in the back row because we slept in and got there late!

@Gaywallet I have a couple thoughts on this:

  1. This seems like a way that device attestation could worm its way further into our devices. Right now Google is trying to watermark AI-generated photos as AI, but you could easily go the other way - if a photo hasn't been manipulated, it's signed with a key that is locked down to device attestation. What, your phone is rooted? That's kinda suspicious - how am I supposed to know your photos are real?

  2. Short of that, though, I suspect that the most likely consequence of this is the videos will start being increasingly seen as necessary for true proof, since those are harder to fake - for now, at least. And of course, there will be a lot more misinformation on the internet, especially in the short term while awareness of this catches up.

@HawlSera I do recognize that tomboys, buff women, etc are worth representing, (and we should push for their inclusion) but that's not what I'm talking about - I mean people who look like "men" but use pronouns other than he/him.

@SPAUZPiMP @scarabic Oh wow, did he literally say "irreducible complexity?" That is SO blatant lol.

@theangriestbird

“Tim Walz is a weird radical liberal,” the MAGA War Room account posted on X, formerly Twitter. “What could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boys' bathrooms?”

It's so funny watching conservatives attempt to turn the"weird" thing around.

@kid TL;DR: If you have a secret variable in your CI/CD pipeline and it's written to a file that subsequently gets artifacted, anyone who can access that artifact can also read your secret variable.

Feels like a "no shit" moment but I guess I can see how someone could make this mistake in a more complicated setup than the example in the blog.

@remington There are few creators whose videos I will jump to view the instant they drop, and Lemmino is one of them. This is a pretty interesting subject that I haven't heard of, despite it apparently being quite well-known.

Tbh, Sanborn not being confident/experienced with math and cryptography kinda tracks with his apparent surprise that expert cryptographers cracked a Vigenere cipher in a couple days rather than follow an obscure breadcrumb trail that's still unclear, even after knowing the key. For me, K4's enduring mystery prompts comparison to the Zodiac killer ciphers, which ended up being so difficult to unwind not because they were brilliant ciphers devised by a mastermind, but because the author made a bunch of mistakes. Still, at this point it seems likely that Sanborn has checked his work over multiple times, so maybe there really is just some trick that no one has thought of. He's clearly eager for it to be solved, so we may know in the coming decades!

@shadow @V0ldek > What I’d really like to find is something like a pihole for search, where you have your blocklist, cache of things you’ve searched already (your own mini search engine?), and then a fallback engine (DDG, bing, Google, whatever) for things it doesn’t already know.

I think SearXNG sort of fulfills this, from what I've heard? It's more or less a self-hosted search engine that can combine indexes from various other engines, and I presume that means you can set your own rules and filters and such. There are public instances as well.

@agressivelyPassive @technom That's a self-fulfilling prophecy, IMO. Well-structured commit histories with clear descriptions can be a godsend for spelunking through old code and trying to work out why a change was made. That is the actual point, after all - the Linux kernel project, which is what git was originally built to manage, is fastidious about this. Most projects don't need that level of hygiene, but they can still benefit from taking lessons from it.

To that end, sure, git can be arcane at the best of times and a lot of the tools aren't strictly necessary, but they're very useful for managing that history.

@OneRedFox This is a depressing read, and it's yet more of the same. There's no funding for measures that actually help people, and the people working to ensure that's the case are happy to capitalize on the resulting friction for propaganda.

@MangoKangaroo @21Cabbage There are lots of options, but personally I like serving them with rice, fried onions and kale! You can either pan fry them, or spread them on a sheet tray in the oven with the onions. I simultaneously make seasoned rice cooked in vegetable stock and a teaspoon or two of the same spices I cooked the chickpeas and onions in. (I like ras el hanout, but you can use whatever seasoning you like.)
