it’s not like any of you read him regularly

Of course not he is a capitalist pigdog! A traitor to the cause! Bla bla. ;)

I posted his work here before, despite thinking he isnt totally correct about his stance on capitalism stuff. He seems to be a good source on the whole medical chemistry science field. And quite skeptical and hype resistance. (Prob also why he I could make de self deprecating joke above). He wrote also negatively about the hackers who do homemade meds thing.

The self-fulfilling prophecy machine will ensure that engorgement will become a household term

Is that this one or a different instance of the same bug?

Abusing privileged identities like this to do things is apparently a thing the younger hackers are quite good at so this will all be fun.

@rook @BlueMonday1984 wow. Why go to all the trouble of social engineering a company when you can just ask Copilot?

@rook @BlueMonday1984 Maybe they have asked CoPilot to write the code that restricts access for CoPilot?

(Sometimes this future feels like 2001 A Space Odyssey, just as a farce. And without benevolent aliens.)

Thankfully I'm able to say "what is sharepoint?"

I did meet it once. A client used it in their office. But when they wanted us offshore (via satellite link) to contribute to it, it became awfully unstable, probably because of latency/ unstable data links.

It's M$. I doubt it has improved.

I've never looked into how they do the phrenology but was immediately struck by the "female" skull having larger forehead. So they say women are big brained?

I think this mostly proves that Leo XIV is a moe anime character.

Painting a cross on the skull of the pope and then claiming this is wrong is a whole new kind of heresy.

.....I was unprepared for reading this post

the genomic emancipation of humanity

ffs, the euphemisms keep piling on today.

If someone creates the world's worst playlist, that would play right after RMS's free software song.

hymns to the benefits of global supply chains

We did it, we discovered awful's equivalent to Nostalgia Critic's The Wall

I want to make a CoE joke or something but jesus christ you really can’t improve on this.

There certainly are delivery robots going around in Helsinki, but not to the extent you're guaranteed to see them on any given day if you're just strolling around.

Glad you enjoyed your visit.

subscriptionless vmware users

perpetual license holders

What a bunch of weird and off-putting ways to avoid saying owners of a product that they fucking bought.

The article is about broadcom sending cease and desists to vmware owners who download updates by the way, because apparently to be entitled to any kind of after sale support you need to be leasing the product.

Counterpoint:

Also there already is a bsky user with the username leoxiv, who makes from what I can tell final fantasy poses, some nsfw. Lol.

Being a bit more specific, its Final Fantasy XIV, which you've probably heard about from people using its free trial as meme material. Its also a better example of the metaverse than any actual metaverse out there, but that's a given for literally any MMO that has popped up for the last twenty fucking years.

Also:

When the cubbies won the series, I knew it meant that Trump 2016 was a lock. A Chicago pope can only mean Trump 2028 confirmed 😭

Honestly I think his whole channel is pretty damn good if you want to see someone with actual chops - here meaning an economics doctorate and an encyclopedic memory for The Simpsons memes - dig into the research in a way that effectively balances depth and approachability. The first one of his that I remember was an examination of Pinker's use and abuse of data in his radical optimist manifesto that I can't remember the title of.

Obligatory: If books could kill was started because they wanted to do a freakonomics takedown, lol. It’s their first ep.
