so, uh, once again it seems that running untrusted code on a computer is basically impossible to do safely. i'm glad that's a cute novelty, not the entire basis of modern computing. it sure would be a problem if everyone was using network services that functioned by downloading arbitrary code to execute!

this seems to be doing numbers so let me just plug the following: hi, i'm currently unemployed and job searching! if you're looking for a SRE (or a developer who's extra familiar with the technical details of actually _running_ networked services) maybe let me know?

welp, methylphenidate is out of stock and on indefinite backorder in every pharmacy around me

and with that, this is a reminder that the "shortage" of ADHD meds is in no way organic, and has everything to do with the same war-on-drugs bullshit policies that both Red and Blue Teams have been peddling for the past half-century.

only this time it's affecting people like me who actually need the damn meds to have a functioning brain.

Gender: woman (customized)

@jk CONGRESSMAN: To show that we are not luddites, we've decided to submit the question of whether AI should be regulated to the AI itself. However, we will require that AI use at least one baseball analogy. It can do that right?

CEO: Yes, but…

CONGRESSMAN: Good.

CEO: we have made a revolutionary new type of computer that's wrong

user: this is amazing. i can talk to the computer, and it gives me the correct answer,... every time!

CEO: yes. in fact this is going to be so dangerous. we need you to make our company illegal

did you really save bandwidtch converting my animated 180x180 pixel art that originally measured less than 8kB into an mp4 with the wrong frame lengths? did you? bitch

the internet social media trend of turning every animated soft g gif into a fucking mp4 really makes me want to punch someone

hey autodesk how do I move this component?

autodesk: well the component knows where it is at all times. it knows this because it knows where it isn't. by subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.

thanks, great, really helps

@sarahzedig every couple years some government somewhere does a pilot program which shows universal benefits are cheaper, more effective at reducing poverty, and do not lead to the mass quitting the "nobody wants to work anymore!!!" crybabies assure us is inevitable. Everyone makes positive murmurs about it for a couple months, the articles get published, and then it's never brought up by the government ever again.

work requirements for food stamps are evil

the recertification process is insulting

the whole means-testing apparatus is a vile and disgusting affront to basic human integrity
