i don't even need context to agree with this.

@jerry

gotta say, darwin would be really disappointed in the whole post and comment system...

yeah... private mention definitely violates the principle of least astonishment really hard.

@mattblaze @adamshostack

pretty sure "blame the user" is the first, last, and only resort of those who can't be bothered to talk to users or worry about UI/UX design.

if they are getting paid for it, they might alternate "blame the user" with "works fine on my machine".

@inthehands

call me when they get concerned about the prison food...

@greegreehoist

mattresses and major appliances.

probably because we assume they're sleeping on the job and need a lot of cleaning up after them?

@karppinen

for everyone but the deer.

i say this as somone in an area where they got rid of all apex predators and the deer population is out of control.

@dangillmor

there have been a number of things the founding fathers and our foundational documents assumed that we've discovered have massive weaknesses and holes in. assuming that all branches of government and all officials are acting in good faith is definitely one. another is that the whole balance of power thing only works if all three branches are actually balanced and opposed and honest.

judicial decisions without DOJ/legal enforcement isn't very effective for prevention.

@shsbxheb @JPummil

not complete but complete for a first start.

once we actually have a functioning 3 branch government, i'd add these (and probably a lot more):

- mandatory term limits at the federal, same for all 50 states
- universal basic income
- complete gut of the seniority system of committee assignment in congress
- reinstate the idea of domain expertise in federal departments
- protection of federal agencies from direct exec branch interference
- review of the entire constitution and the gaps that depended on good faith that got us where we are now

@JPummil

add "eliminate qualified immunity for all law enforcement" and i'd say you have a complete list of needs.

@jerry

use of LLM to try to get PRs into a FOSS project shows the same level of respect for the project as the SNL "we will pump you up" costumes showed for weight lifters.

"While 59% of executives say quantum-enabled AI will transform their industry by 2030, only 27% expect to be using quantum computing by then."

this sure sounds like a polite way of saying "i encourage all of my competitors to dive on this technology first"...

@johntimaeus @waldoj

RIPE did a document with recommendations for edge devices, including not having default passwords, requiring setting a decent password before starting to route packets, etc. in the early 1990s. sad that vendors are still shipping vulnerable boxes...

@waldoj

my first reaction when i read this was "who uses telnet these days" but then realized that this is probably exactly why no one was fixing bugs in telnetd.

@chillybot @jerry

probably all that deep conditioning. makes the fur soft and subtle.

@volpeon

XMPP!

i really miss the days where i could just run adium and have multiple chats in XMPP and IRC all in the same app.

@briankrebs

when i was living in NV, the law was that if you weren't a company with at least 25 employees or a govt agency, there were no restrictions on how badly insurance companies could screw you. it was basically major medical coverage only at $15k/year...
