I understand that it must feel unfair to residents of every other country in the world that our decrepit autocrat's psychodrama has to be _your_ problem every single day, and it must feel like the world revolves around us. But:

1. Most of us, especially those of us you'll run into online, already agree with you about that.

2. People live where they live and have their experiences that they have. If you have *knowledge* on a particular topic from a non-US perspective, that can be welcome.

I will not be able to absolutely 360 no-scope your reply-guy ass quite as devastatingly as Cat does here, but I hope that this will be instructive to our European friends. Beyond the casual misogyny here (don't do casual misogyny), please don't ever reply to people who live in the US "But that's US-centric". Sometimes it just is, and that's fine. Sometimes we actually know a lot more about the subject than you do, and it's not "US-centric", it's "people who know anything about the topic" centric

Kid bagging my groceries asked what I was listening to in my earbuds, and I had to tell him it was a podcast.

“Ah a podcast guy,” he tells me.

Then I say “But, I was listening to frank ocean earlier.” You know, like in an attempt to save my coolness from a total stranger.

So then he says "who?"

And then I die from old age.

remember the NX bit, that makes pages non-executable? i think we should replace it with a NR bit (non-readable). and actually just assume it's set for every page.

#CourtWatch So Afroman has been in court this week to face defamation charges for making a song about the specific bad cops who did a botched raid on his home.

And umm... these cops are WILD!

In this clip officer Randolph Walters explains how he's not sure if Afroman's lyrics about sleeping with his wife are true or not.

You see, if bad cop Walters wants to win defamation he needs to show that he and others could be confused by Afroman's satirical lyrics.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

🏇 🐎 🐴

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

I really *want* this to be false, because I'm a person who regards code *itself* as an art form that I think has long been disrespected as such, but I suspect it's probably true, on some level.

Even if it's true I still think LLMs are dangerous to the industry because even if the vast majority of existing code is sludge, the viability of an industry where 90% of code is sludge and an industry where 100% of the code is sludge are wildly different.
