How is the OpenAI board gonna fire Sam Altman just because he gave answers that sounded plausible but weren't actually accurate?

Fuck Google. Fuck the executives who signed off and pushed this. Fuck the people who hadn't pushed against this and kept up this long battle of the digital attention economy through ads. I'm not terribly forgiving of those in favor of digital advertisment's rise — any business that requires nonconsentual engagement (and uses it to remain as profitable as possible) is unethical. Surveillance capitalism is one of the grossest things to exist and despite it being coined recently, that shit is old. As old as overseers. https://infosec.exchange/@catsalad/111426154930652642 (https://jacky.wtf/2023/11/4xxP)

It’s easy to say with hindsight that NFTs are a stupid scam, but it was also pretty easy to say at the beginning and through the middle too.

I've given it a lot of time now, and for the record, I still despise the @SlackHQ interface changes. They have taken what used to be at-a-glance or at most 1-click and made it all 3-4 clicks and difficult to find. For no purpose other than "we could". 0 ⭐️ Do not recommend

Putting software in containers is cruel and unnatural. Programs should be allowed to roam and graze freely on computer systems. Forcibly isolating and constraining them will lead only undue suffering. Use of technologies such as Docker in systems administration must be ended immediately, there is no ethical justification for inflicting trauma like this in an enlightened society. In this "free range software manifesto" I will -

In my experience, multiple concepts invariably end up in a non-trivial PR. When a repository uses squash-and-merge then those concepts end up in the same single commit on main and any context is lost. https://indieweb.social/@lornajane/111425261462048360

When you work on a project with squash-and-merge as a strategy, you end up splitting concepts across multiple pull requests to make coherent git history that could be untangled later if needed. Teams throw away the context because they have poor git commit practices, but they have poor git commit practices because they throw all that context away ...

Activity is not the same thing as progress. You can be extremely busy and do a lot of work but after taking stock, realize you are no closer to your goals and in some cases, you may actually be further away from them.

@mhoye@mastodon.social there was a really good blog post that I can't find now, about how many (most?) feminine-coded hobbies/tasks like sewing, knitting, cooking, lots of housework, etc - are just straight up pure engineering tasks. you don't even have to squint to see it, but society likes to pretend that if it isn't made of concrete or steel, it doesn't count.

I'm pretty sure if a family member had hit my kid with a car causing him to be in a wheelchair & miss a year of school, they'd feel some remorse about it. But because it was done with Covid there's zero societal expectation they'd even think about the impact they had.

My request to unsubscribe from your newsletter falsely implies that I subscribed in the first place. What is the point of all the anti-spam legislation and all the regulatory bullshit all over newsletter services when it still seems to be impossible to stop this sort of mass spamming?

If your organization actively discourages you from asking questions, digging deeper, or seeking improvements, do the following in order: 1. Get 2. The 3. Hell 4. Out If you stay too long, the corpo brainworms will make it easier to just do the things that have always been done.

New blog post up: please don't ask if an open source project is dead. The best-case scenario is that you annoy the maintainers and delay development. The worst-case scenario is that you give the maintainers an opportunity to reconsider if it's worth it. https://minimaxir.com/2023/11/open-source-dead-github/

Hey guys, how is capitalism going? It's going great! Thanks to profit motive based innovation and hard work, the ransomware industry has grown to a $250 Billion(!) industry, with "Ransomware As A Service" (RaaS) now being a very real business service offered by actual companies and resulting in probably multiple times more in costs in down time, and other costs. Where do we get this incredible boost to productivity and efficiency from? It's as if by an invisible hand! https://www.crowdstrike.com/cybersecurity-101/ransomware/ransomware-as-a-service-raas/
