the average bluesky discourse is stuff like "what? i should pay workers? that sounds like they're just rent seeking" as people drop words into sentences like they're materia in final fantasy

although i do try and hold a more nuanced view like "machine translation good, extractive corpus bad, duty of care missing" i simply do not have the time or energy or good faith to talk about the finer points, especially when it feels like people are simply carving out exceptions for themselves

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

theatlantic.comThe Man Who Saved the Internet YesterdayOndřej Surý was a relatively anonymous volunteer working on PHP security. Then the internet exploded.

that bad behavior broke containment so hard my HAIRDRESSER brought it up she has never seen a CVE in her life

Either way, even if every diehard C person will take ~no responsibility and just blame the software and blame the PHP people (as per usual), as a Reasonable Adult who is tangentially related to this I think I need to get Defer and a bunch of other things over the finish line.

please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die

"why doesn't this tech journo know about programming languages" unfortunately, my dear brothers in christ, a tech journalist is just a business journalist who knows the hot keys for copy and paste the job is to talk about consumer products, stocks, and mergers not hash tables and sort algorithms

we've identified another vulnerability leak. now hackers on the dark web have identified your bad knee and that weird thing your shoulder does if you sleep on it wrong. there's no patch available for this, they're now just keenly aware you feel like your career has stalled out

theoretically there's at least one kid that hadn't really considered being trans until they opened the mailbox, saw the mysterious transgender mailer going around in texas, and went "hey, wait a second"

I've had someone unironically argue that it's actually good if all these jobs are lost to AI because it's actually better when people make things as a hobby instead of "selling out"

Maybe the BBC should get someone who actually knows what he is talking about then.

the PHP security bug patch is a nightmare, our server is patched but this thing looks more like a desperate attempt to patch hundreds of different leaks than a straightforward single bugfix, I do not trust that this is over…

it really does feel like they just got away with unprecedented amount of theft of expertise, and are now profiting off of it while replacing the professional opportunities for the very crafts and humans it trained on I never thought I would see the concept of expertise get so devalued
