I fucking hate TikTok speak

"dih" just say "dick"

FFS I hate how advertisers have control over language. They do not deserve that power.

Omg I'm like an inch away from sounding like an angsty 16 year old who posts a joker meme with the caption "you couldn't survive a day in my brain" or something lmao.

I spent the entire day making a list of all the things I accomplished in the last few years because i literally forget things I've made, projects I've completed, and I get sad that I'm not making progress in the things I want to accomplish lol.

It's like my brain tricks me into believing I have not made any progress on something and then when I go look in my files or notes I see that I'm actually like 90% done I just forgot about it. *Routinely*

So that's cool. 😂🫠😬🫠🫠🫠

For years, Rust binaries made reversing a nightmare. Modern decompilers only support C, lacking meaningful types, constructs, and language-specific functions. Led by @34r7hm4n, we're releasing our S&P work Oxidizer, the first deep Rust decompiler, built on angr!

Interested? 🧵👇

That One Draft Post (you know the one) that I've been working on for [unintelligible] months now had me wondering if I even remember how to _finish_ something, so, this was a brief interlude where I checked to see if I could in fact still do that. And also I wanted to write a little bit about #Python programming (a thing I actually like) and not just more about AI

Can't emphasise how much I feel these are exactly the sort of use cases and users the web was made for: "hobbyists, hackers, educators, makers and developers"! Not everything has to be about corporate bottom lines sometimes the web can just be for fun tinkering (but also lots of real world use too)!

The "let me google that for you" site now redirects to a dot-app tld which either ships malware or looks an awful lot like something that ships malware, which isn't great on its face, but if you see it as a piece of guerrilla performance art it's right on time and right on target.

Great. Google wants to build "bid to gaslight the public".

You spent $50k and your thing can't even actually make proper use of the GPUs you spent an approximate average US person's salary on?
