Mad as I am about the Senate Democrats caving in, Josh Marshall comes in with some level headed perspective which is why I love TPM.

Hot take: I miss the #MacbookPro Touch Bar. I love my M1, and having my function keys back, but I keep looking for that Touch Bar in a lot of my casual workflows.

Can’t we have both??

@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
