Damn rats are smart.

Dopamine Deficit Disorder is one I like since it gets to the root cause. Also DDD is kewl.

Thats okay I love them both. But not equally. (Don’t tell Python).

I think girls and women are often overlooked and failed by the system when it comes to ADHD and Autism. Girls and women are taught by society to fit in and not rock the boat. I think that’s why they’re better at masking; it’s a social necessity. That and the very different neurochemical makeups across the gender spectrum. Because these disorders continue to be viewed through the erroneous paradigm of ‘How well does this child fit in? How well do they perform in a classroom?’ – something which is evident in the very name of ADHD – boys and men are more likely to get caught by the system early on. Girls and women are often failed by it.

What is vibe coding?

There are many non-dildoish uses for which it may have been intended but without doubt anyone at the time would have seen the penile similarities - Dr. Martin Rundkvist, archaeologist

Brilliant.

Oh really? You’re saying its a security risk?

Why would they do that?

Saving this as a copypasta.

Imagine trying to explain FOSS to this fucking administration.

From my understanding, Esc was originally where the Caps lock is on earlier keyboard layouts. That’s why it’s bound to that in Vim. It’s a holdover, so it makes sense to switch them back.

Really? I had an app that would autogenarate time sheets for work in Google Sheets. I decided to minimise API calls by doing a single call to Google Drive then parse the HTML and reupload. Not a big Python project but ChatGPT hit a wall pretty fast on that one. Though, tbf the documentation was suprisingly opaque so I suppose that goes back to your point.

That project also produced my finest pile of spaghetti code since I had to account for stretched cells in the HTML parsing. I still have a piece of paper with my innumerate math scribbles. The paper makes sense to me. The code does not.

This looks great. How do I make this?

SELinux is an access control system for Linux. Traditionally Linux uses Dynamic Access Control (DAC) which basically means the person who creates a file can determine who can access that file. Thats pretty fine for day to day use but there are some problems with this model in terms of security. One I can think of is that it’s more vulnerable to privilege escalation (a hacker getting access to a higher level account like admin through a lower level account) because it puts the onus on the user to define who can access the file. SELinux was invented by our good friends at the NSA to remedy these kinds of problems. It’s an example of Mandatory Access Control. It works on top of DAC by creating policies that work to prevent things like privilage escalation. It’s also a lot more comprehensive than DAC. It allows for things context based access, taking into account the broader security context of an access attempt, the user’s role, etc.

I’m actually not entirely sure why some people don’t like it. Understandably, some people are wary of anything the NSA let’s out into the public. But as it’s open source and has been integrated into a number of Linux distros like Fedora, it’s unlikely they’ve backdoored it. If I was to hazard a guess, I’d say some people don’t like it for the same reason they don’t like systemd: Linux has often been an OS where user’s like a big degree of control through simple traditional systems and those don’t like the idea of losing some of that control to the complexity overhead involved in these new systems.

What’s a good alternative to Worldnews?

This app is great. Thanks.

Is Japanese curry basically like the curry you would get from a chipper in the UK?

Omg, bring back mirror Kirk and get Shatner to just play himself. Like he’s not a fascist, just make him really snarky with his trademark humour.

This video genuinely came off as satire to me. Like ‘If you spend, $20 more you can reduce the sum total suffering of this animal (before we kill it) while still giving money to us (the very corporations that engage in those practices). That is, if any of these labels even mean anything (which they don’t).’

Like, the premise of, ‘I don’t like it when animals suffer so how can we make them suffer less (while still suffering cuz I like to eat meat)’ is such an morally bankrupt starting point for an argument.

I appreciate that they highlighted the insane cruelty of factory farms on a popular channel but ffs if your going to mention the importance of individual purchasing power in determining market trends and not say ‘You could also, y’know, just not fucking eat animal products,’ then I feel like the arguments you’re making are a bit spineless.
