This is exactly why I leave these on

If breaking changes are on the table though, UNIX desktops settling on "Ctrl-C/V in apps but Ctrl-Shift-C/V in the terminal" is just an insane choice when there's a Super key right there.

This is great; further complicated by the lineage of Super (❖), which is vaguely equivalent to the Windows key but referred to as Meta in various internals, except Alt is considered Meta elsewhere and many use it as Command. 🥳

The "Menu" key remains a mystery.

GWAR fans understand this predicament

The number of U.S.-based academics seeking jobs overseas rose by more than a fifth last year, according to Times Higher Education, a U.K.-based provider of global education data. Most of them landed in Europe, where the EU has set aside 500 million euros to lure top scientists to the continent. Professors teaching abroad blamed the American right for slashing research funding, and the left for policing university speech.

Uh I suspect approximately zero of them blamed that

Basically the industry figured out that self-driving racecars with no seat belts made us 10x more productive; we know how bad an idea it is and have actively decided not to care. 🤷

Honestly don't see how corporate IT security is still a tenable field now that IP exfiltration and remote takeover—formerly one of the worst scenarios—is now just standard operating procedure for every developer.

I had an ex who did lots of nicotine gum for its purported cognitive benefits; they ended up with a ferocious addiction and no obvious method to help them quit short of smoking

They ended up getting most of what they wanted going through the MacBook manually, so unfortunately the lesson here is that Lockdown Mode won't save the day if you also use biometrics. Preventing a forensic image is nice, but unlikely to derail the case.

They unlocked the MacBook with her fingerprint, and the warrant allowed them to unlock the phone with FaceID (they don't say if they did, but not much stopping them).

It seems Lockdown Mode is preventing them from *imaging* the devices, probably because it requires auth to connect peripherals.

I’ve always said the problem with the industry is that there’s just not enough software

Boo, now I have to delete it too ;p

Lol in an effort to make FFmpeg sound less jargony they just invented an imaginary name for it

So would it be safe to say you’re also anti-ship when it comes to Animal Crossing

Note that to "try and look for it" is illegal in and of itself

Oh man I never noticed the updates at the bottom

Only recently learned how this guy's name is supposed to be pronounced but I'm going to keep saying it as "Geert Wilders"

Not the first time; in Feb 2024 Japanese was way more common than English, and in Fall 2024 it was Portuguese due to the Twitter ban.

It's wild how halfassed iOS parental controls are. I am supposed to be an expert at this and with hours of research and fiddling I still barely understand how the settings work (when they work at all).

When I was a 15 year old reading Mondo in the 90s, sure

I actually have that exact cord

ATProto is spectacularly unsuited to group chats, and the market is otherwise saturated with group chat products.

The inside of computers from “smoking offices” in the 80s/90s were not a pretty sight.

The “I made this” meme but with a robot making the object, subsequently claimed to be made by the human.

Not just closed, I knew an illustrator that would just hallucinate images on the page and then paint/draw them until others could see it.
