The more shocking is that one guy who KNOWS it’s sqlite, but ain’t afraid to admit it!

You should apply for a marketing position in broadcom. The people responsible for the vmware software suite just love to do stunts like this.

Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk

Nobody has ever explained why. What is the difference between executing a script directly from curl, and adding a repository which downloads a package which contains a script.

Wait. Bitpay is still around? That was the company Valve has used before. It was the de-facto standard for every eshop accepting bitcoin. Until they decided to implement identity checks, and only support payment from wallets implementing certain protobuf-based payment protocol. Which made them slide into obscurity pretty fast.

It doesn’t seem to matter how many experts remind people…

But this is not new. People have been drinking bleach and giving themselves cyanide poisoning long before the spread of LLM chatbots. Some dare to call it “doing their own research”

A man uses the internet to poison himself. The story as old as time But if we stick the AI in the title, we can get some sweet clicks out if it.

Having a union-wide regulatory framework for soda bottle caps, or mandatory categorization of cucumbers seems a lot less like a government overreach in comparison. Thanks, I guess… 🥲

This would be cool 20 years ago. Now it’s just a stunt.
