Are you familiar with the “tech filibuster”? It’s when a dude (it’s always a dude) argues a point and only proves their point by out lasting everyone else in the conversation. Doesn’t matter if they are right or wrong because they will be the last one standing and get their way.

Reading manuals is extremely helpful. I discovered the "accept-new" option for ssh strict host key checking and now I can delete my buggy code for manually populating known_hosts. 😅 Does exactly what it says. If the host key not in known_hosts, add it. Fail otherwise.

ooouuughhhh this thread is BS and im annoyed the robot isn't leaking fluid. it uses computer vision to futilely keep the fluid within an arbitrary zone; it's about automated surveillance and border control, not robot depression or whatever

But why Laura, if they knew it was nonsense, & their only aim was to terrify, the question has to be WHY, for what reason & why was almost every gov’t the world over, regardless of their politics doing the same?

I hope that the tech industry moves to a point where people can admit to not being geniuses, ninjas, or rockstars and have that be a positive. I hope that people can acknowledge that there is more to learn, and love that, rather than trying to one-up each other.

There is something so creepy about being invited to Zoom events where they offer an Uber Eats or GrubHub credit. It's like, "Stay safely at home, while servants cook and delivers your food, taking all risk for you." Risk offloaded onto the viral underclass. For my comfort.

"Can't Help Myself" by Sun Yuan & Peng Yu. This robotic arm was programmed to keep pulling its hydraulic fluid it needs to survive back to itself, which is constantly increasingly leaking out. While programmed to do other things, eventually all it could do was fight to survive.

I love #Veganuary! Went to a corporate event yesterday with a free lunch. Usually all meaty sandwiches and a small plate of veg for us Ⓥ types. This time, about a quarter of the food was vegan and another quarter veggie due to people going meat-free. So nice to have options!

Y'all need to do some more looking into this Marak / faker.js / GitHub thing before feeding into his narrative. TL;DR?: Full on QAnon conspiracy theories, SJW dog whistles, domestic abuse, domestic terrorism risks, and a whole lot of self-victimizing.

Just to prove not all men etc - a guy at another agency had a similar brief for a Hoover brand dishwasher, and suggested "Hoover your plates" which I adore. (Brits call vacuuming 'hoovering' after the brand)

Found some old notes from when I worked in advertising and we had to come up with slogans for a dishwasher. Mine: Washing up is for mugs. Terrible male colleague's: Computers for women.

I have said this for the last 10 years, but the Internet isn't held together with duct tape; that's too strong. At best, it's held together with masking tape that has been in the sun too long.
