Set of people who are all "We reverse engineered this CPU with an undocumented ISA and found a vulnerability that allowed us to flip a single bit in an HSE to obtain a key that allowed us to encrypt a payload that gave us arbitrary code execution on the ISS" and simultaneously also "It's literally impossible to prevent this single fucking guy from showing up at the event we run"

i wish more people saw programming as a medium of expression tbh.

TIL about the well done RPG mini figure designer at https://anvl.co/ #dnd #roleplay #design

one of the best things about calling committed partners wives even if legally only a subset of us are married:

coworkers (and similar) who hear statements like “my wife put out an RIAA platinum record” or “my wife is an extremely talented archer” roll all these ideas together into a concept of one Extremely Powerful Ultrawife

Hi, we're a tech startup run by libertarian Silicon Valley tech bros.

We're not a newspaper, we're a content portal.
We're not a taxi service, we're a ride sharing app.
We're not a pay TV service, we're a streaming platform.
We're not a department store, we're an e-commerce marketplace.
We're not a financial services firm, we're crypto.
We're not a space agency, we're a group of visionaries who are totally going to Mars next year.
We're not a copywriting and graphic design agency, we're a large language model generative AI platform.

Oh sure, we compete against those established businesses. We basically provide the same goods and services.

But we're totally not those things. At least from a legal and PR standpoint.

And that means all the laws and regulations that have built up over the decades around those industries don't apply to us.

Things like consumer protections, privacy protections, minimum wage laws, local content requirements, safety regulations, environmental protections... They totally don't apply to us.

Even copyright laws — as long as we're talking about everyone else's intellectual property.

We're going to move fast and break things — and then externalise the costs of the things we break.

We've also raised several billion in VC funding, and we'll sell our products below cost — even give them away for free for a time — until we run our competition out of the market.

Once we have a near monopoly, we'll enshitify the hell out of our service and jack up prices.

You won't believe what you agreed to in our terms of service agreement.

We may also be secretly hoarding your personal information. We know who you are, we know where you work, we know where you live. But you can trust us.

By the time the regulators and the general public catch on to what we're doing, we will have well and truly moved on to our next grift.

By the way, don't forget to check out our latest innovation. It's the Uber of toothpaste!

Menschen ändern bei Heirat etc den Nachnamen und Personenstand und der Staat hat kein Problem damit, sie anschließend zuzuordnen.

Menschen wollen über ein neues #SelbstbestimmungsGesetz ihren *Vornamen* und Personenstand ändern und Politiker*innen so "Aber das ist ja eine völlig neue Person, das ist doch gar nicht nachvollziehbar, wer das dann sein soll!"

Wer soll euch den Scheiss eigentlich glauben, Leute? #trans

Today I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk grazers and life seems a little better. 🤘
