If I genuinely believed I was 18 months away from superintelligence that could solve cancer, I would probably not be pivoting to horny chatbots, but that's just me (a person with priorities)

TIL xeyes in Debian trixie supports `-biblicallyAccurate` mode (thanks @turnipGod )

what the fuck, modern macOS (Monterey, but allegedly also macOS 26) still has the ability to sync IPA files to iOS devices, sneakily hidden? if you open an iOS device in the Finder and drop an IPA file onto the “General” page, it actually installs?! i can't fucking believe this

I'm bored of these regular expressions. Where can I get premium expressions?

"I asked chatGPT" "I asked Grok" yeah well I rolled a d20 and it was a nat go fuck yourself

i'm reading this new wired interview with a bunch of cybertruck owners and i'm losing my mind. two separate people are like "oh yeah i keep toys in the back to give out to kids because they love the cybertruck so much."

”Ramlösa” water review:

• It is very carbonated.
• So much so that we could not open the bottle.
• The internal pressure was too high.
• In the end, we had to use our teeth to grip the cap, left with no other options.
• It is perfectly adequate for making elderflower soda.

@liquidparasyte because the AI companies that ripped off everyone's copyrights think that THEIR IP is super secret important sauce that must be protected like a fabrege egg

Honey, I invested $100 billion in AI, and all I got was 1 + 2 + 3 = 15

I'm crying. reference implementation of yescrypt (the default password hashing function in many distributions including nixos) is using an evil version of base64, which processes least significant bits first, instead of the most significant ones.

This means that you can't easily go from the linux password string ($y$j9T$OpXCuom4o6Kx1vE2MYU8R1$/qMlxCU5VmbMyWmpbvhwvL59Tcv7/Zxyjw5jQihHIZ6) to the salt (to, for example, test your own impl or check the password), because no libraries implement this evil base64.

(unless I'm missing something I guess?)

Yeah, the world might seem like a cold and cruel place but have you considered that there are leaf sheep in it?

Here, I fixed that Mastodon meme. That's most of my bookmarks...

Growing up, the main bus in my town was every 10 minutes and always packed. I didn't worry about timetables I just left the house and knew it would be there. Now it's every half hour and completely deserted. This is no coincidence. Fund buses properly and people will use them.

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.
