  1. The very basic (but incorrect) assumption that the “grind never stops” people rely on is

    more hours == more productivity

    It’s not. If you’re sleep deprived you’ll produce shit, which you’ll probably have to redo later. Sleep properly, produce more in less hours.

    But hey, at least your colleagues think you’re busy because you’re last to leave redoing your shitty work!

    Edit: read The Brain at Rest by Jebelli, don’t work yourself to death

  2. Only one I have issues with is Ticketmaster, other than that I forget that it’s even on all the time
  3. How much free time do you think the average person has to learn and set all this up?

    “You’re giving these companies your data and then dare to be angry when you lose it? Just get a degree in computer science and host it yourself!!1! I am very smart”

  4. Yeah now we know why it’s on the front page not even 10 minutes after posting…
  5. Keep them?? But how else would you keep devs working hard if there are no mass layoffs to be afraid of all the time??
  6. What it the dystopian fuck is this headline
  7. To be fair, if they're actually buying it for the whole sportswashing thing and not for the short-term cash profits, could it maybe be a good thing for the games? Better games == more effective sportswashing?

    Either way, human rights journalists lose.

  8. > But they don't necessarily care about the same 20%.

    Did you write that entire comment based on the headline only?

  9. Tech behemoth attempts to blackmail an entire continent. In other news: the sky remains blue.
  10. So... nothing? Because I'm also not from an English speaking country and I speak English.
  11. At some point they told ChatGPT to put emoji's everywhere which is also a dead giveaway on the original report that it's AI. They're the new em dash.
  12. Crazy how he doubled down by just pasting badger's answer into Chat and submitting the (hilariously obvious AI) reply:

    > Thanks for the quick review. You’re right — my attached PoC does not exercise libcurl and therefore does not demonstrate a cURL bug. I retract the cookie overflow claim and apologize for the noise. Please close this report as invalid. If helpful, I can follow up separately with a minimal C reproducer that actually drives libcurl’s cookie parser (e.g., via an HTTP response with oversized Set-Cookie or using CURLOPT_COOKIELIST) and reference the exact function/line in lib/cookie.c should I find an issue.

  13. Our company wants to move away from Google Chat, I'm happy that Slack is letting us know upfront that they won't have to be considered at all.
  14. I think they mean prompt injection rather than some malformed image to trigger a security bug in the processing library
  15. That's why I still finish everything I write with "Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk" — just to reinforce that there's a human behind it.

    Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

  16. They also get the em dash when typing '--'
  17. > The part that never sat well with me was how they were trying to preach it to others and present themselves as the wise, experienced guru sharing this advice to others when really they were just barely figuring it out.

    Honestly, you probably have to bring it like this if you want to generate a following. I guess people like it when someone just hands them a truth in a confident enough way.

  18. I assume OP's point is "you're running a random script directly into your shell!!"

    You're about to install and run their software. If they wanted to do something malicious, they wouldn't hide it in their plaintext install script.

  19. > A custom, non standard, self built, ACL system for the filesystem

    But don't you love it when companies invent their own security instead of using battle-tested open-source systems?

  20. “immediate communication is needed to make any impression on our cellphone-addicted, TV-culture populace with zero attention span nowadays”

    Dude sounds insufferable tbh
