@laprice @mayintoronto
I love Terry Pratchett's concept of militant decency

"The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place."

“uhm you can’t say a password manager is cooked just because they’re encouraging LLM code contributions and their official mastodon account keeps saying factually incorrect things”

consider fucking yourself. there’s little margin for error in security-critical software. if a team institutes a policy that’s been proven to produce vulnerable code and then says a bunch of things that, read uncharitably, appear to point to them not knowing what the fuck they’re doing, they deserve the backlash

@elilla

If the changes were proposed by a maintainer, another maintainer will do the review. This policy is strictly followed, even for small changes.

wow, so they're straight up lying in a very easily proven way (this PR) (or do they think it doesn't count because "the LLM proposed it, not the prompter of the LLM"??)

also that pr for "we only use slop for bug fixes or UI" password history being correctly imported is a pretty important thing i would think

Yes. Actually, I think that's a pretty good minimum threshold for anyone posting something.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:

Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Shaheen, Kaine, Fetterman, Durbin, Rosen

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Another thing I've learned debugging WiFi issues: having router sitting on the floor is a bad idea. How bad can it be? +10dBm bad.

Raising the router off the floor by just 30cm significantly improved network coverage, including on the floor below it!

This is another case where smart gadgets are dumb. Apple's HomePod was in charge of picking the channel for the Thread network, and it picked a channel incompatible with the WiFi network it was connected to! No Intelligence in this Apple.
I've wasted days pulling my hair out, trying to understand why everything I did to improve the network coverage only made the network more flaky.
