@david_chisnall if we're at the point where people need to be actively reminded that it's okay to not treat F/OSS like a job then things are truly getting dire

The Least Astonishing Things in Computing today are "Everyone's Computer Gets Worse So One Guy Gets Promotion".

It's "Guy Gets Dumped By AI Ex-Girlfriend, Makes Computer Act Like Your Stalker Ex-Boyfriend".

It's "Executive Promoted For Hitting Target Metrics, Spouse."

It's "It doesn't work."

Astonish me. I'm ready. Surprise And Delight me. Jump-scare me all the way out of my pants with some display of competence or utility. Do something, anything that isn't whatever the fuck all this is.

BYD assuming responsibility for damages while using its self-driving thing is good news, but the important news here for me is that its autopilot is called "God's Eye 5.0".
Which could be straight out of any #cyberpunk novel.

This reminds me of Elmo's whole "self-driving cars" fantasy. Individually-owned, wholly autonomous cars will never be a reality until/unless the manufacturer assumes the entirety of the liability incurred when turning the car over to self-driving.

And then you look at the FSD-accidents Teslas have been involved in and, for each one, they try to blame the driver for failing to adequately supervise. In one case, they even tried to avoid accountability by saying that the driver disengaged FSD seconds before impact …which is exactly what a supervisor would do when trying to prevent the worst outcomes that a flawed FSD was in the middle of creating. Tesla abdicating responsibility because the vehicle owner stomped the brakes or tried to duck the collision that FSD was pushing the vehicle into makes FSD a joke (then again, them recently retroactively amending FSD's terms for those who long ago bought the option does that, too).

...But then BYD decided "we're going to assume liability" and my first thought was, "another nail in the Tesla coffin".

I'd never heard of the book Careless People until I found out Meta had silenced the author and now I've gone and bought a copy. If you hadn't heard of this book until Meta tried to silence the author and can afford it maybe you should buy a copy as well.

My Siberian Husky's fess. She always leaves one meaty of her dinner behind in the bowl and steps back as the cat approaches at eats that bit. I think it's a mutual agreement they seem to have with each other, like a protection racket or cat tax or something.

I am miserably sick atm but you can help me feel better *and* earn Pride Month points (you want a good grade in pride, right?) by checking out my visual-novel-in-progress about a lot of very queer and neurospicy little lego people

Chapters 1 through 3 available now, I expect to finish chapter 4 soon

The first warning arrived on a Tuesday morning, six weeks after consultants advised moving away from dependency on six hundred small excel scripts - and nobody at Zenith Ledger Advisory paid much attention.

It appeared in the system dashboard between routine audit notifications and a maintenance reminder
