Elon Musk realizes that his brilliant plan to fill Congress with idiots, had the unfortunate side effect that Congress is now filled with idiots.

Who would have known. 🤷🏻

If you're not aware, a bunch of Anker USB power banks were recently recalled due to fire hazard. https://www.anker.com/rc2506

The recall process is a bit cumbersome but manageable. The web site lets you upload a photo of the serial number to check whether its in a batch that's included in the recall (only two of the seven power banks I had with affected model numbers were part of the recall).

Stay safe!

AI slop classic, somebody files a bug report for a vuln, doesn’t disclose they’ve used AI when asked, argues in the comments - and includes his AI prompt in the paste.

I've been talking to GitHub and giving them feedback on their "create issues with Copilot" thing they have in the works.

Today I tested a version for them and using it I asked copilot to find and report a security problem in curl and make it sound terrifying.

In about ten seconds it had a 100-line description of a "catastrophic vulnerability" it was happy to create an issue for. Entirely made up of course, but sounded plausible.

Proved my point excellently.

"I am actually a princess," the frog said.

"Oh no!" said the prince.

"My curse can only be lifted by a prince listening to me."

"Of course," said the prince, and bent down with puckered lips.

"What are you doing?!"

"Kissing you, like you asked!"

"No!"

The frog hopped away, muttering.

BE KIND IN THIS HEAT

i have been thisclose to an #autistic meltdown because the A/C in my apartment is broken and i have had problems sleeping at night.

also, as many of y’all know, it has not been a year since my last #cancer treatment. my body is still coping with the after-effects of chemo, immunotherapy and radiation. my nuclear boob is still breaking out in a rash if it’s too hot or too sunny.

so just a reminder: the heat exacerbates many conditions.

be mindful. be kind. #fuckCancer

From the garden this morning. Tomatoes 🍅, and our first-ever zucchini and watermelons 🍉
