Can't wait to debug race conditions on quantum computers, where your thread is simultaneously deadlocked and not deadlocked... until you check the logs and the wave function collapses into a completely different error.

@mr_penguin People aren't talking about it much compared to age verification. But I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
We shouldn't have to use old technology (use old car forever / use old OS forever) to retain the same standard of privacy and quality of life.

I use one dedicated email address per service.

This is a golden rule I started about 20 years ago. Today I have about 700 email addresses in use. The Password Manager keeps track, which Email address is used for which service.

This has several advantages:

An attacker has no idea which email address I use for a certain service: this makes attacking my accounts a lot more painful
I can very easily sort incoming email associated with those services
It becomes more difficult to track me

Lately more and more services do no longer allow me to create an account with an email address I designate.

Instead authentication is delegated to a third party (e.g. Discord, Paypal) and the email address associated with that service is used.

Such a service will never receive any money from me.

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

> Holy shit vscode now automatically adds "co-authored by copilot" to your commit messages if you use any autocomplete during your session, including the basic "add X to existing import" stuff when you tab complete.
> On by default.
> Get absolutely fucked Microsoft

TODO: commit hook "co-authored by teco"

Had a conference over the weekend. Love what they did for the badge. There's an accelerometer in it, so you have to shake the badge for the magic 8 ball mode
