Kavanaugh did, in a concurrence. I strongly disagree with his Opinion but at least he put words to paper. the others didn’t, so I assume the conservatives are fighting about the legal basis for their ruling.

they will have to eventually explain themselves at least, once this case makes it to the regular docket.

yeah! there’s a punishing learning curve but it’s sooo frikkin powerful once you get it. for my NixOS config on WSL2, I have it cross-compile age-plugin-yubikey for Windows, then stuff the (absolute) path in a wrapper script to use agenix with passage as a git-credential-helper storage, all of which gets set up using home-manager as my default git config. and it all just gets automatically built and configured when I nixos-rebuild switch, so I can sync it to my other machines.

unfortunately I have no idea how it works anymore lol. that’s the problem, it’s so resilient I forget how to change it! but I can’t imagine doing that in any other Linux distro.

between Gentoo and Arch, but so far down the y-axis it clipped off the chart.

…you’re literally on the fediverse right now?

at a museum in the US, a security guard yelled at me for taking a photo of a Miró painting. he pointed to a sign saying that to respect the owner’s copyright, photography was strictly forbidden.

pretty sure I had the legal right to take the photo, but that they had the legal right to trespass me if I kept doing it. :/

fun fact, Mr. Rogers testified at the Supreme Court to save format shifting, in a landmark copyright case:

“I have always felt that with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the ‘Neighborhood’ off-the-air … they then become much more active in the programming of their family’s television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions’ … I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.”

the Court agreed with Mr. Rogers and cited him in the majority Opinion.

oof.

(I say, as though I don’t use my phone 4x more than my laptop, which is honestly a bad habit I need to break because programming on phone suuucks.)

curl | bash for the Windows crowd.

honestly it’s exactly as secure as running a binary you downloaded from their website. no more, no less (since https.)

the only computer user?!

specifically this is how QUANTUMINSERT worked (from the Snowden leaks.) also China used the same technique, injecting malicious JS through the GFW to get bystanders to DDoS github, in a much more obvious and indiscriminate way.

nobody here is remotely likely to be targeted by NSA, of course, but you can actually do such attacks on a budget if you compromise any router in the chain. combined with a BGP hijack it’s not far out of reach for even a ransomware gang to pull something like that these days.

i did not!! thanks for link!

yo mama’s so gullible, she participated in an interactive zero-knowledge proof and believed the prover was literally the mythical Merlin.

yo mama’s so dumb, she brought poker chips to a Monte Carlo simulation.

I loved that show so fucking much.

and yes. yes it was.

Zalgo captchas would go so hard.

oh hey that’s the jerk that called me a Trump supporter for refusing to back Newsom after all the anti-trans shit he agreed with Charlie Kirk about on his podcast.

computer engineer refers to someone who engineers computer hardware. more like being a (digital) electrical engineer.

that can’t be right. maybe they meant lambda calculus? programmers are definitely good at applied logic, graph theory, certain kinds of discrete math etc. but you’re not whipping out integrals to write a backend.
