the bcachefs thing, abusive behaviour and CoCs
*looks at post by the developer defending himself*
*sees a reference to an incident in the Python ecosystem*
"Hm, that seems like an absurd reason to ban someone, I should probably check whether that incident actually happened as they claim"
(It did not happen as they claim in the Python case and there was the usual laundry list of CoC violations being reduced down to "all they did was X!", ie. the standard tactical abuser playbook)

sort of a subtoot
I am *really* not looking forward to The Usual Suspects misusing that "cookie parsing is broken" article to start pushing for centralized authentication systems and dangerously broken crypto like JWTs again, instead of recognizing that we just need to get cookie handling fixed

ai, programming discourse
> I don’t get how you can see some of the world’s best programmers use a new technology to make them better at programming and shrug it off.
the world's best programmers have spent decades teaching me that our field serves power before anything else. all my work is conditioned by their enthusiastic embrace of rent seeking, the cloud, & totalized surveillance - building blocks for both the current AI state of affairs & a looming authoritarian nightmare.

OH “if you stay for more than three hours in this train, you would end up in Venlo. Nothing wrong with Venlo, but I would recommend finding another much quicker travel route.”
@silvermoon82 Not that I know of.

I just realized that the CD/DVD ripping setup I'm currently using is ingesting an average of 24 gigabytes every 8 minutes and that's ... notable
@hans Honestly the biggest challenge of any dating platform isn't really going to be the technical side anyway, but rather the moderation side. They're hotbeds for abuse otherwise, unfortunately.
(I have tried to work out a plan for this many times before)

@joepie91 Apparently this is very difficult to get right because iOS suffers from the same problem.
Also wake up alarms.
Strangely enough, my old Nokia N97 which I used until 2014 didn’t have any of these issues.

If you are born on the island of Texel, the first time going by ferry to Den Helder is free. There is no ticket sale or ticket inspection for the ferry on Texel.

Things don't "fall into the public domain" at the end of their copyright term, Ugh.
Once released from copyright, works Ascend into the glorious ranks of the public domain, fulfilling their rightful destiny as part of the cultural heritage of humanity!

you know what, i don't even care how good AI is at coding. if the literal ghost of Donald fucking Knuth showed up at my desk and started typing my code for me, i'd tell him to fuck off back to his grave. It's *my* code and *I* want to do the coding.

What the absolute fuck: https://yossarian.net/til/post/some-surprising-code-execution-sources-in-bash
In short: [[ "$foo" -eq whatever ]] in bash can run arbitrary code.
That looks like something that can realistically trigger in a lot of scripts.
(also test -v, but I barely ever see that one used)
Edit: This also happens in zsh 5.9 (but the referenced variable needs to exist) and mksh

Auspol, teen social media ban, my submission
The irony is that I spent more effort and time on my submission than they did on the bill.
@wheeze_NL So far the only credible answers I've found to that are: fedi, matrix, Congress
