bluesky is bad and mastodon is the only way forward

I like to pipe my json to python -m json.tool for quick formatting in the terminal.

Yes sorry, I didn’t realize that until I posted it and saw all of the “cross-posted to:” links. It’s the first time it’s posted to this community though, and I think it’s an important topic.

If you distribute Linux crackers then you need to provide not just the list of ingredients but also the recipe used to make them.

I should have tried a bit harder to search, the original quote by Sartre is:

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.”

“Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C

Is this a joke or an AI hallucination? I’m pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C.

There is a book called “Programming in ANSI C” by E. Balagurusamy

I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article.

The article actually does date back to 2016 so it’s not AI generated.

Fuck Zuck.

Anyone who falls for the scam of thinking that you can determine IQ from the genome of an embryo is probably below average themselves.

You’re just unabashedly supporting eugenics? Is that because you’re too young, or too uneducated to know any better?

Did you read the article?

If you think that I’m misunderstanding something and arguing from a false premise then please feel free to engage with the discussion.

I thought passkeys were supposed to be a hardware device?

This is typical embrace/extend/extinguish behavior from the large platforms that don’t want their web-SSO hegemony challenged because it would mean less data collection and less vendor lock-in.

The whole idea of passkeys provided by an online platform should have been ruled out by the specification. It completely defeats the purpose of passkeys which is that the user has everything they need to authenticate themself.

They didn’t break RSA.
