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?

Okay Mastodon, do your thing!

I'm looking for recommendations for audiobooks 😁

Preferably simple enough that I can keep up while doing other stuff at the same time, but not so simple that I get bored,

The last series was Skullduggery Pleasant, if that helps.

I'm curious to know what people think about Anthropic's claim that Claude found 500 high-severity vulnerabilities in open-source packages. Has anyone confirmed that these vulns were indeed high-severity and hadn't been discovered before? Is this development as big a deal as Anthropic says? Any other critiques?

I love English. It's a trash fire disguised as a language and I'm here for all of it. However, I really need to be better about people not speaking it "correctly." It's a goddamn trash fire. Of course people don't speak it correctly. I'm pretty sure there's no correct way to speak it. And that's leaving out all the racism and classism which goes into "grammatical perfection."

English isn't Latin. It's a glorious clusterfuck of stolen parts bolted onto a bastard chassis and powered entirely by the burning of dictionaries. There is no way that it should be the lingua franca of international affairs, and yet it is. Speak it any way you want. English doesn't give a fuck. English will take your error and turn it into a part of itself. English drinks prescriptivist tears like fine wine. Contribute to the delinquency of English any way you can.
