The only thing enthusiasts love more than obscure CLI commands is random github links. The next time someone sends me a github link without explicit instructions on how to turn the contents of that link into a program on my computer, I’m hiring some witches from Etsy to hex them

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•You could convince evangelicals that AI is bad by saying it's converting children to satanism or making them gay
7·8 months agoUsing eldritch runes etched in silicon to invoke a pale imitation of a living being is basically already summoning demons
My favorite LTT nonsense was when he said ad blockers are piracy
but a mistake was made by someone in logistics at LTT so it wasn’t put aside for return as it should.
And was subsequently sold, without Billet Labs’ permission. What did I say that was incorrect?
Google doesn’t tell you that killing yourself is a good idea and that you shouldn’t talk to anyone else about your suicidal ideation

Small companies’ prototype GPU coolers and auctions them off without permission
The one who steals prototype liquid coolers, fucks up installation, and slanders their manufacturers

News@lemmy.world•Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing
0·10 months agoThe mythical “they.” I can’t wait for Kansas lawmakers to see Wisconsin’s complete isolation from the rest of the world and think “this will be popular among our constituents”
Wow, I must be psychic or something
How can you tell if a photo you see predates generative AI? Anyone can slap a “2009-10-15” in the metadata
They’ll start saying shit like “Epstein wasn’t a pedophile, he was into the barely legal 15 year olds” or something like that
I can’t sing quietly. I can hit that note, but I don’t want to annoy the other people in the car

News@lemmy.world•Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing
0·10 months agoNobody’s reading tfa. They aren’t banning VPNs, they’re banning websites that allow access to users using a VPN. Which is stupid, of course, but it isn’t going to get in the way of your piracy. 1337x does not care about Wisconsin state law.
Websites subject to this proposed law are left with this choice: either cease operation in Wisconsin, or block all VPN users, everywhere, just to avoid legal liability in the state. One state’s terrible law is attempting to break VPN access for the entire internet, and the unintended consequences of this provision could far outweigh any theoretical benefit.
If anything, they’re effectively going to build a Great Firewall around Wisconsin. Much easier to just not serve the approximately 10 users from that state than it is to implement the measures they’re demanding

1·10 months agoMy understanding was that most of them got got because their cell companies knew where they were, not because of the contents of their phones
But also, I’d rather let every Jan Sixer go free than imprison one innocent person because they looked up textfiles.com two years ago and found out how to make meth


Same as when my computer refuses to finish writing to a flash drive. When I press that “safely remove hardware” button, it is not a request, it is a warning. If the data is corrupted after I yank the stupid thing, so be it
