I have made some trivial PRs to the codebase.

I cry for the world that could have been, if Tor and Monero gained widespread adoption

This Week in Virology has been shocked aghast and brutal about how mind-numbingly stupid RFKJr is and surrounds himself with the same. They talk about Thimerosal what what insane policy is going down here:

Be safe, kids -- don't buy drugs on the clearnet!

Kind of OT but as a James Joyce enjoyer I like the name, it evokes this paper which always stuck with me

Dawn: A study of the present age and Finnegans wake through a close look at FW page 594, one page sufficient for our time

Literally 250+ pages unpacking one single page of the original ~700 page book, much of which reads like it was encrypted/compressed.

How shitty would you feel, as a hotshot AI researcher who just delivered a model architecture getting way better scores than Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI in all kinds of industry-standard benchmarks ...

... and then learn Musk was high some night and just fucked with the system prompt, not knowing really what he's doing, ham-fistedly trying to make his egostistical conspiracy-deluded self the arbiter of truth and ethics for Humanity

Those other labs are offering pay packages just as attractive as Musk's

Will it be a tails spin? That might make a lot of sense

Well... it means I was (and fyi still am) the kind of rube that is on fixed salary but works way more than 9-5 M-F

But at least I do it in my PJ's at home

I delete all my social media periodically for similar reasons.

Even communities of people who are really level headed and supportive, like academics and engineers. Eventually there is groupthink, tribalism, and generally people who I am over (and I'm sure it's mutual)

Worse than Slack...

Now that is saying something

I had the opposite experience. Some in house devs are extremely talented and have (middle) management support.

(Upper management fires those groups and uses the savings to buy Atlassian)

Remember open source wikis? Twiki?

They were much better. More functional, faster, intuitive.

Corporates got rid of those and Atlassian got rich

BugZilla works for lots of usecases also

As a person who has designed several enterprise data models, I would like to personally congratulate the entire middle school class that belched up Atlassian's

Having used quite a few others: hard disagree

Several companies I've worked at had bespoke internal systems that were less general but extremely efficient to use.

It kills me to think some bean counters probably gutted them and gave the money to Atlassian

I'm all for I2P, it solves some design limitations that Tor has.

And Tor is absolutely not a bulletproof technology.

But please, have some concrete reasons for not using it. "The devs are shady" is about as scientific and useful as "vaccines cause autism"

IMO it's a nice middle ground between a typical Linux system where every app you run has access to everything else you run, vs a system like Qubes where every app is locked down in its own VM

I bought one of those release CDs. I used it to be able to use ppp + my 486's modem to connect to my employer's network which let me WFH on an 80x24 tty.

check this dope URL I picked up, I have an idea and it's totally going to be viral

Well I got an instant no-warning permaban from lemmy.ml

I think it was for a post in which I basically said there won't be peace in the Middle East until there's a lot less religion in the area.

I dunno, you never know who has an easily offended Sky Daddy LOL
