@zeborah, I'd definitely go for the second option.

@davidgerard there are some really good explanations about this hiding behind the simple animations of this channel: https://youtube.com/@casuallyfinance

now THIS is super fucking interesting

META has banned Russell Brand from all its platforms

so it CAN ban awful bastards, it just chooses not to unless they can use it as positive PR

The Synaptics patent dispute shows once again how corporations blatantly abuse the legal system. They are threatening a developer who wants to improve displaylink on Linux due to patents that are so rudimentary that it's laughable.

It’s not a Microsoft outage.
It’s a surprise Digital Sovereignty test.

@dangillmor

If Microsoft knew what caused the outage they may have fixed it.

Both hacking and incompetence remain active possibilities with precedent.

@craignicol @onepict it is obviously vibe coding, and vibe fixing even. But you cannot give up on the “it’s always DNS” mantra.

@veronica nothing. Granted, I've only seen the inside of the airport and a taxi so far. But I must have walked at least 10 metres outside so there were plenty of opportunities to be jumped by wildlife.

In response to the Microsoft service outage today, a friend texted me to ask how many of these outages are caused by “vibe coding.”

I replied, “It’s kind of like asking ‘how many of these hurricanes are caused by climate change?’ The numbers are going to get a lot higher but I can’t tell you which ones specifically”

#noAI

if this outage lasts more than a day, microsoft should be legally required to rename their service from microsoft 365 to microsoft 364 (or an even smaller number)

@historyofpunkrock great song, and I want to jump into the replies to promote one of my favourite coversof this song by an Indonesian band of three girls. https://youtu.be/jijULvxMxD0

@lydiaconwell Ah - I forgot to @ the LQF feed. They're most amused by such things.

@loke No spiders?

La meva percepció és que les IA estan ajudant molt a tancar vulnerabilitats de molts serveis i projectes diversos d’arreu de l’internet global.

@dgar 🥳

@neil
Perhaps they should ask @mwl how to do it? 😄

Mother fucker am I in a bad mood today...
