Seriously though, who looks at websites, noted for not being able to safely hang onto the already over the top volumes of personal information they collect unnecessarily, and says, “you know what these people need? a copy of everyones government issued ID.”

Reform managing to lose nine of its councillors to ineptitude and outbursts of hate speech. They are en route for implosion at a rate of knots and will hopefully no longer be a going concern by next election. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/13/dropping-like-flies-reform-loses-nine-councillors-in-six-weeks/

when reverse-engineering embedded devices, i like to make these overlays

to make one yourself, open the datasheet screenshot in gimp, use "select by color" on the _black_ (this is important), grow the border by 1-3 px, copy the selection, paste onto a photo, and use universal transform until it matches

Best comeback of the year. The Polish foreign minister waited three months to deliver this beautiful gem.

I am reading the Cursor forums and github issues and this shit is so funny.

bug report: cursor can access my .env file even though it's explicitly not allowed to because it also is given arbitrary use of a shell, and it just grep'd my API key and used cURL rather than calling the script i told it to call

TIL that because the FFmpeg project has gained so much experience in hand-writing assembly code to provide huge speedups, they now are putting together a series of lessons for learning assembly:

Vibe coding is fun and all, but this is probably a better use of time!

@jerry #ALT4you a series of 6 icons of the windows recycle bin over the years from 1995, with the final 7th icon being the Microsoft Teams icon in 2025

The caption reads
"The evolution of the trash icon"

Thank you for the alt text. I don't recognize the Teams logo, so I didn't get the joke. I looked for alt text to provide context and it wasn't there. Even fully sighted people like myself benefit from alt text. I use it all the time to better understand the images folks post.

@jerry the idea is at least 5 years old I believe. Here you have another example as well a template for your own creations. Nevertheless, I also needed to laugh about Teams trash, it's true.

@jerry The 2000 one is a very nice touch (it's the Windows 2000 icon, but with the Windows logo added as a thrown-away thing).

If only our Corporate masters would see the light of salvation and reject Microsoft and Microsoft Teams as the foundations of evil and torture that plague civilization.
