  Ha! Prove the version is valid with checksums and signatures. “But the label said it was that version”? No sympathy.

  The idea that this kind of workflow could be full of risk has been debated … since the CPAN days. If you pull in black box code without inspecting it, then you deserve the day you begged for.

  …and if you chose a model that doesn’t allow for easy validation, that’s still on you.

  an ad spend

  When you’re off the used car lot, ‘spend’ is still only a verb, and the word you wanted here is maybe ‘purchase’ or ‘deal’.

  ‘The spend’, ‘the ask’, and other cheese should stay back with the pre-owned Pontiacs.

  I survived a house fire and my family was left with nearly nothing. We no longer live in places made from fire’s favourite food.

  I was looking at that very thing last night.

  But then I realized, “why can’t immich just create usable packages like we had before?” and moped back out.

  But, for a moment, I was sure a little inspection and testing would make the Internet equivalent of an NYC MTA coinsucker magically safe. It looked so eeeeasy.

  At the very least, that was its past. It was built as a nuke-resilient self-healing early mesh concept.

  Then it got commercialized and peers couldn’t trust each other so much, so we have the drunken-starfish setup we have now.

  It’ll start as an option and slide into compulsory later. It’s the Systemd way.

  Fuck no. He’s fucking done enough.

  I say that as a long-time Linux user, a developer and a security researcher. He’s set us back a decade with his metastatic cancer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ai;dr | (ai; didn't read)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if they’re sloppy.

  The LLMs make mistakes too, though. They’re trained on stuff they skimmed on the net, and they make a lot of “Americanism” mistakes: pluralizing mass nouns like cinnamon and email with an S; ‘thru’ and other lazy abbreviations; spelling words like ‘labour’ without one letter; pay ‘check’(checked;still there). The list goes on.

  Some of those won’t be discernible by an American recipient, but the rest of the world sees it. It sticks out like a “see below list” and a “how it’s like” and we see the rot.

  IBM used to do this. A friend my mine was caught up when her employer was bought-out while she was on maternity leave. She came back to a desk but no work, no role, and no access to computers. She had NOTHING on her list and no way to do it. She wasn’t allowed to go home, but had to sit there.

  She read. She knitted. She counted the hours until she was back home with the family and kids. Finally after about 10 months, she gave in and got another job. And IBM didn’t have to pay severance.
