A notice post by Seán Dowling. I love this:
I just wanna give a heartfelt thank you to “the manosphere”. Truly you have made dating easier for people like me.

All these women in my life discovering that they can have partners who are compassionate and empathetic and still dick them down when required.

So thank you ya looksmaxxing dipshits. Your bullshit has driven women to the realisations that there is nothing on this earth a man can give them that a woman can’t.

It's, uh, less than ideal that I'm allowed to claim a GitHub username like this.
"We use debian, that should be age verification enough"

@nyanbinary

afaik the law makes no exemptions for business systems used, presumably, entirely by adults.

So now, everyone's AD installs have to attest to their age; It's The Law after all.

So your temporarily instantiated admin account you're using to modify a service - that's going to need to attest you're over 18.

Is it going to pull that information from HR? is it going to make you answer a dialogue when you login? How is this going to be implemented in business systems that are, again, almost guaranteed to be only used by adults?

Worth repeating: AI platforms built by greedy tech CEOs aren't "making mistakes" they are working as designed

Part of that design is undermining experts, removing human connection & trust, and hiding decision making

Those are the things that make our communities work, and the more we lose them, the worse things get

Ready for a horror show that is different than the current news cycle?

This is code that @hannorein, Aaron Boley, and I put together for modelling Starlinks. We scaled up the brightness based on what we think could be the size of these stupid new "AI datacenters" that SpaceX says they will launch a million of, and used the orbits posted on @planet4589.bsky.social's website

I'll walk you through this plot in the following posts.

Some tips on giving digital privacy/security advice: if you tell people they absolutely need to do a long list of difficult and expensive things before they travel, people will nod and smile and then not do it at all. This is why my advice focuses on harm reduction and understanding trade-offs.
