Aka "RTFM", doesn't sound great here.
I _**know**_ it's misleading directly from my lived experience, and from hearing from 90+% of go developers who had exactly the same incorrect mental model of `go get`.
Whether it talks about this in some manual page somewhere or not doesn't really matter; no one is going to read that until after they discover that `go get` isn't doing what they expected.
The affordances and apparent behavior of the tool are the only way to "explain" this to users so they know what they're getting.
@filippo I use the word "misleading" because pretty much every golang developer I run into (including myself before this issue thread) has no idea that this feature exists, and their mental model of what go get is doing is wrong.
I understand that point of view, sort of that google is "too big to fail" and so they would never dare do something like that... but IDK.. I think at least if they are gonna do that they shouldn't hide it and mislead people about it

We will never accept an invitation to speak to Meta. We are not interested in speaking to Meta. We're not even on Meta's radar, but if they do for some godforsaken reason reach out to us, we will promptly tell Meta (more or less) to fuck off. That's the #GoToSocial promise, baby! Death to capitalism!

Analysis of Samsung FRP Bypass
https://blog-cyber.riskeco.com/en/analysis-of-samsung-frp-bypass/
"During this analysis, we learned that on Samsung devices, we can access a second USB configuration that opens a serial communication, allowing us to send AT commands. Moreover, some combinations of AT commands can lead to the activation of the USB Debugging before setting up the phone and thus without enabling developer options. Finally, using adb, it is possible to modify some settings in order to make the phone believe that the setup following a factory reset is done. This bypass the FRP since the FRP check is made at the end of the setup."
The analysis also comes with a git repos summarising it all into a nice python script.

BREAKING: Free Software Foundation announces that its GIMP ("GNU Image Manipulation Program") will finally shed its controversial name, becoming LIGMA ("Libre Image and Graphics Manipulation Application") in mid-2023.

My favorite part of the web is that it makes things hackable. Stuff like userscripts or even being able to muck around in devtools makes it so much more empowering than native apps that give you a "take it or leave it" approach to apps.
Mobile apps make me so mad because they give me no control over my device even with the prospect of "app permissions".
@hisaac too many zooz, saxophone growlbass
@gabek you are a wonderful person 💚
@hisaac jakeenos is like parkway but better IMO.
Savoy is for when u want a solid centimeter thick of cheese on your pizza. IMO the one with Giardiniera, the chicago one, is the best at savoy
@hisaac I live near wrecktangle Detroit style pizza, apparently they are critically acclaimed, I think they are ok.
Otherwise jakeenos and savoy are good.
Just be warned savoy puts an insane amount of cheese, I always ask them to reduce the cheese quantity but its still too much

You know me. The prolific crypto pioneer and influencer. Let me know if you need some crypto advice and I’ll make something incorrect up for you. Just like large language models do.
