Scion Altera

I’m pretty terrified to self-promote, but I’ve been working on writing a MUD from scratch. I started a dev blog about it where I’ve been talking mostly about Spring Boot and Hibernate. If you’re into those kinds of things, please check it out! agonyforge.com

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Dolly Parton's sister claims voting machines in Tennessee changed her vote to the Republican candidate.

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

In case anybody needs social proof/thinks I'm exaggerating.

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

rare non-shitpost from your pal ceej: if you self-host plex you’re gonna wanna update asap. crypto miner malware started hitting installs yesterday, it got me and I’m usually pretty up on this stuff

WELKER: Do you believe Democrats should impeach President Trump should they take back the House? WARNOCK: Listen, Donald Trump is a crook. And he's gotta go. And the people who are enabling him, they all have to be held accountable.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

I think Ossoff captures something that Newsom never did: the Dem base wants you to fight but they want real shit not goofy memes and too-online riffs

Brian Kilmeade is not putting up with Rachel Campos-Duffy’s propaganda. “It would be the biggest mistake of his administration to work with Russia. That is the modern Hitler of our generation.”

One of the great Democratic Party failures of the last several decades is that they let Republicans turn "regulation" into a dirty word. AI is a chance to reclaim it; Democrats should be running on a promise to regulate AI companies until their owners cry like babies.

Goddamn, this point by @anandwrites.bsky.social really needed saying.

El-Sayed on Fox: "There is this argument you try to make often is that the best way to take this problem on is more war. How has that worked out for us? The war in Iraq which this channel spent years and years pressing -- has that made us safer? Are we more safe because of the war in Iran?"

WATCH: “Did you go to public schools? Did you drive here on roads?” 🔥 @abdulelsayed.bsky.social expertly handles Fox propagandist martha maccallum’s fearmongering about socialism (From @acyn.bsky.social )

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

The individual productivity gains due to AI are eaten by the inefficiencies of your organisation.

if i interview you you better bring me an iced coffee too

Saw a woman on TikTok who said she quit corporate at age 46 to become a beekeeper because “I would literally rather get stung by 10,000 bees than write ‘per my last email’ again” and you know what? I respect that

Computer crimes are already illegal. I do not think “we knowingly deployed software we can’t control” is a legitimate defense against break those laws.

I just lectured about the WPA this morning and it is absolutely a model we need to bring back, for this purpose and others too.

impeach them all. fuck em. why should they get to fly around on our dime and hurt people? “they’ll never actually removed from office” who gives a shit? I want them miserable every day for the rest of the term. I hope they have nightmares. air their dirty laundry. make em sweat

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Costco has a $50 giant Frankenstein head made of green chocolate that includes a mallet for smashing his head open at which point a pound of gummy body parts will spill forth from the edible wreckage of his face

Not to make a big spoiler but it’s been out for a bit. Silent Bob can lift Mjolnir He is worthy.

13/12 headline. No notes

It's vastly more comforting to believe in an imminent robot apocalypse than the truth: the things that will destroy us are extensions of the unsexy but obvious problems all around us. We are not doomed in one grand way, but a thousand petty small ways.

If you are attacking Doctors Without Borders or World Central Kitchen, you are wrong and can get fucked.

I'm serious when I say I've lost track of all the recent revelations of literal Nazis working in high-level positions in Republican congressional campaigns and I would very much appreciate a journalist who took the time to detail as many of them as can fit into an article.

“.. With Saudi oil now blockaded, Americans are about to discover why maintaining stability in the Middle East and not handing it to a consortium of Russia and Iran was always important.” @jayinkyiv.bsky.social

A good reminder to re-read the best book about writing software

I’ll fight like hell to protect vote by mail.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

It is SO blatantly obvious everything that’s happening is because both parties are owned almost entirely by AIPAC. They don’t actually believe in anything. They’re just in it for the money. They will fritter and fetterman away your whole country.

On the term “woke”

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
