A telco injecting ads into 2FA SMSs feels… wrong (see thread)

Post details

I just received a two factor authentication SMS from Google that included an ad. Google's own Messages SMS app flagged it as spam. What a shameful money grab.

The maintainer of an audacity fork was PHYSICALLY STABBED by a 4channer after they doxxed him and his family over a naming poll for the new fork: github.com/tenacityteam/t… But again of course nothing will happen because everyone is too chickenshit to take down this cesspool

💥 Excited to announce... I wrote a book! A lot of engineering leaders worked to be best engineer they could be… and then we were promoted. It's tough to transition roles. I wrote the book I wish I had when I started leading teams. engmanagement.dev

Letting a virus rip through a partially vaccinated population is exactly the experiment I’d do to evolve a virus able to evade immunity

write a website. So it's reviewable after the fact, at anyone's own chosen pace, can be subscribed to, works everywhere, doesn't need a special app, and one can forward links to it to other people to pass on suggestions.

UK based tech freelancers who hate their accountant or accountancy software: Have y'all heard the good word about @proactivepaul? Who is not just a great accountant but also chill and nice?

Whew, this isn’t just exposing TikTok. This is how all these platforms work, more or less.

Existing as a trans person in the UK is very weird right now: apparently cis gatekeepers should have the right to determine what I can do with my body for my entire life, but asking people to wear a mask during a global health emergency is a bridge too far? Make it make sense.

A lot of people asking what the problem is with "just trusting the vaccine". A few problems that occur to me: a) No vaccine is 100% effective. Even if only 5% of people are susceptible, that's literally millions of people in the UK. b) Half the country aren't fully vaccinated 1/3

Today our board has agreed to not organize conferences in states with passed or pending transphobic or anti-LGBTQ legislation. This includes medical conscience laws, bills banning trans kids from sports, or access to gender affirming healthcare.

to all the rich ppl defenders: 1. rich ppl aren't gonna fuck you 2. nothing wrong with getting help from your parents, but if all of your success is owed to the fact that your rich parents helped you your whole life, you're not qualified to give financial or budgeting advice

In case it's not clear what's happening here: @github's Copilot "autocompletes" the fast inverse square root implementation from Quake III — which is GPL2+ code. It then autocompletes a BSD2 license comment (with the wrong copyright holder). This is fine.

Post details

I don't want to say anything but that's not the right license Mr Copilot.
