Extremely here for bringing hacks back for lulz and not just crypto mining. Have some imagination, people!

The tariffs have just led an innovative U.S. company to scale back sales of its own goods in its home market. Who does this help? What sort of “medicine” is this?

Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression

alright, no more joking around. butlerian jihad starts tomorrow

If you have to pay people to vote your way, it must be hard to comprehend people hating you for free.

Second anniversary of this banger

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

one of the defining features of the techbro dipshits now running the USA is their absolute refusal to consider that anyone, ever, has thought about problems before them time after time they come in, propose a solution that was rejected years ago because it's stupid, and call themselves geniuses

The more I use GenAI coding tools, the more I am convinced keeping to "traditional" software engineering practices is what works most productive here. As in 10x more productive. E.g. - Small changes - Test that the change works before moving on - (unit) tests wherever you can

Some of us have been warning about this and calling for anti-SLAPP laws (both federal and state) for years and years and years. And I'm not stopping now. Defamation law has been so widely abused to chill speech and so few people know it.

I am begging AI boosters to explain to me how it is in any way time-saving or helpful to have an "assistant" who may be lying to you and whose work you therefore have to check every step along the way.

oh i'm really gonna get some use out of this

mentally, i’m here

here, have some fish from 2002

My internet was out, so Spectrum showed up to my house to troubleshoot, where they noticed a Spectrum van at my neighbor's house, where the technician had disconnected my house from Spectrum ... to make a new connection to my neighbor's house ... while troubleshooting my neighbor's connectivity

Pressure from employees at tech and social media companies has been one of the few things that has been effective in getting these companies to change their policies. What you do, what you say, and what you agree to build in these times matters a lot.

web developers are getting too cocky. if visiting your `.png` URI doesn't give me the raw bytes of a png image and nothing else, your balls should explode if you don't have balls, you grow balls that immediately explode

Once again, we need anti-SLAPP laws in every state and a federal anti-SLAPP law. You shouldn't be able to sue a publisher because you disagree with the framing of their accurate story.

*abruptly stops stapling my balls to my leg* whoah, an even better idea

Hello friends it is me, a moron, who is reminding you to get a primary care physician (if you are financially able) so you don't need to go to urgent care when moderate health issues come up. Signed, guy who lived at [city] for nine years and failed to do this, and will pay urgent care prices tmrw.

Hoarding memes I know are 100% AI free it's like a wine cellar for millennials

"our company can't make profit unless it steals thousands and thousands people's work" really screams innovation, doesn't it

it seems we have reached that point in the crypto cycle where huge publications run irresponsible headlines like this one, and the people who see them and buy in get wrecked

Wow. In all the years of running Techdirt I never once thought to put together an after-the-fact "hypothetical portfolio" that out performs a sensible portfolio and tried to make it seem like young men were missing out by not betting on shitcoins. I must not be good at journalism.

Truth nuke:

Tired of seeing bullshit alerts about dependencies in your containers? Get only relevant security feedback by making your containers distroless! I tested this and was able to reduce the number of dependencies in my SBOM by *71%* compared to python:3.11-slim! chris.partridge.tech/2024/distrol...

oh hey that thing we said was a bad idea is a bad idea

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

They should. OpenAI outputs are not covered by any copyright law or by any enforceable licensing agreement. See, I know this because of the way OpenAI decided the same thing about its inputs, including >100,000 words of my copyrighted work where the license allows only non-commercial reproduction.

When something is wrong 90% of the time that means it’s right. And the people deploying it are just lying about why they’re using it🥴

Yet another banger from Patrick Boyle

Friends in cold climates: don't get heated toilet seats, you'll realize what you were missing all along and then every non-heated toilet you sit on is extremely punishing

Honestly I’m less worried about a billionaire buying the site at this point and more concerned about this company being based in the U.S. and subject to upcoming government fuckery, but I don’t know how ready we are to have that conversation

Everybody's always talking about how many nines of uptime they have, but nobody's talking about how many threes of uptime you have. I have the most threes of uptime of anybody. King of threes right here
