@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me I love this! Did it ever cause trouble/drama at any place you worked at? Even granted you’re allowed to disclose, I assume being public about it could surface some bitterness amongst colleagues?

Boosts are not necessarily endorsements because I often scroll through my timeline without reading anything and instead treat it like Guitar Hero where I tap on stars and boosts whenever the beat feels right.

“so Luna, what did you get up to today?” I’m so glad you asked! I spent the afternoon figuring out all sorts of css crimes to give an interactive light hypnotic induction the “copying the website UI” visual treatment it needed. How was your day? https://cohost.org/lunasorcery/post/4325452-cw-hypnosis-hypnok

Mastodon, more like OnlyMans

I’ve helped organize two meetups in London. Only a few would show up for the first one. “Because it’s raining, people rather not go outside”, the other organizers told me. So the next one I hosted was in the summer. Only a few would show up for that one. “Because it’s not raining, people rather be outside” the other organizers told me.

@heydon@front-end.social Despite so much evidence, people just refuse to listen. CAPTCHA companies have no incentive to tell implementers that the crap tun of data collected by people solving CAPTCHAs is their business model.

@ppatel@mstdn.social People don't talk enough about how fucking shit CAPTCHA is. It doesn't even catch spam effectively. In my last contract I argued and argued to replace it with a honey pot. We did so and went from 100 plus spam emails a day to zero, and got rid of the accessibility barrier with it.

@hungry_joe@mas.to If you sit on a throne in the middle of it, does it make you an edgelord ?

People say content is being locked up in proprietary silos but look all I had to do to get an RSS feed of articles on a certain site was install a mitm proxy to intercept their mobile app's requests, fake an SSL certificate to inspect them, reverse engineer their internal APIs, then write a script to discretely query aforementioned APIs and generate an RSS feed file on a schedule. Simple! 🙄 #indieweb #rss

Nadella is super concerned about all the generative AI he put everywhere; we should definitely think about guardrails, he says, while putting more generative AI everywhere

I have a common dread that there will be a minor earthquake that will cause the glasses in the cupboard in the kitchen to rub together and make a horrible noise. And it has only just now occurred to me that this is absolutely batshit.

I just bought some cute underwear… that are not meant for tucking. …that are *not* meant for tucking. *THAT ARE NOT MEANT FOR TUCKING!!!!!*

Watching Return of the Jedi, and something grated on me for a moment. "It's an older code, sir, but it checks out. I *was* about to let them through." Surely the Empire would have better OpSec than this? ...oh, wait. Gigantic Enterprise-scale operation, driven by fear and tight deadlines, with lots of silos and mini-empires with a culture of internal rivalry for Dear Leader's favour? Never mind. It checks out; I'll let it through.

Documentation: "This will return a 200 status and {msg: "ok", apikey: "yourapikey"} if all goes well." Me: omg, it's calling someone a pikey?! I seriously did a double-take. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikey

I do NOT enjoy the weird religious-colonialist overtones and origins of the phrase "servant leadership" it is not a good phrase I do not like it and I think it has not escaped its 1970s source enough to have transcended it.

I am increasingly convinced that hyper independence and self-sufficiency is a trauma response or coping mechanism.

Copilot decreases code quality leading to more reverts/refactoring. Who could have seen this coming? :blobcatthinkingglare: https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2024/01/25/copilot-research.aspx #Copilot #GitHub #programming #development

“New GitHub Copilot Research Finds ‘Downward Pressure on Code Quality’ – Visual Studio Magazine” No shit. I’m so surprised /s https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2024/01/25/copilot-research.aspx

PSA: Do not put git repos inside other git repos. Git is not a package manager. You will make yourself sad. It doesn't matter how many conceptual primitives they share. Don't do it. Just use a package manager. You don't even need a package repository. You can still download things directly from git repos if you want to. Just list them in a package.json or something, and let npm do it. Or go.mod. Anything. Please. For your own sake. And everyone who comes after you.
