starting to wonder if computer science might have actually been a humanities discipline all along and that's why i'm so bad at it

🚀 Today it’s exactly ONE YEAR since we published a magazine of web pages you have to type in (no, really)
It’s still available & is the perfect gift for anyone who remembers ‘80s type-in mags or likes weird web stuff

these things are absolutely spam that play on ignorance of copyright law.

If you want to shut them up, ask to see the copyright registration for the image. Without registration, they have no right to punitive damages.

@mwl I mean, I've already blocked them which ought to shut them up. It's just stressful spam to get. :(

My company said they wanted me to be a Rockstar so I showed up at 2pm still drunk, trashed the break room, and then stormed out after demanding a raise.

@infosecdj I dearly wanted to pass on the programming bug, especially as I'm not first generation myself in it. We had robotics kits, arduinos, kids python books, me showing them my work and letting them at the kind of stuff that would have excited me like data visualization... no jazz; just wasn't their thing. But they'll deep dive art stuff all day. So ok.

I recently learned that https://u-boot.org/ exists, but it's not the official website, though at least there is a clear disclaimer.

There is a button link leading to deinde.dev and another one that is not recognizable as one, leading to https://u-boot-project.org/ - the official website.

That's a dark pattern.
Quite audacious for open source IMHO.

A barbaric regime, that you (the UK) created and promoted (before passing the mantle to the USA)...

I mean, the Saud house isn't a creation of the Arab bureau, nor are their will to power, but their conquest of the Arab Cherifian Kingdom is.

Also I recently learned that the UK secret intervention in Yemen, to nip in the bud a threat to Saudi rule, was to topple a regime which abolished slavery (in 1962 !) and restore the king who was OK with slavery...

If you're having a bad day, take a moment to look at this baby red panda in a bucket. Or if you're having a good day. Or a just okay day. Any type of day is an appropriate day to look at a baby red panda in a bucket.

They should make a Bond movie with a load of spies and not tell you which one is Bond until right before the credits.
