A broken clock fixed by taping a working clock over it is a metaphor for every codebase you’ll encounter in your professional career as a software developer.

🤔

SunOS 4.1.4 says it can't possibly be the year 2023: "WARNING: preposterous time in filesystem -- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!"

sorry SunOS, there's nothing i can do to fix 2023.

@mangeurdenuage @rgarner Love how more than half the issues are telling them to get fucked and all of the ones that aren’t are still saying it’s a bad idea lmao

I saved this a while ago and I still laugh every time I read it. I'm not sure what it is about it, but it's one of those things that are always funny to me. There are only two meme/cartoons that have this effect on me (the other one is Dog Fort)

I hear the government is doing IoT cybersecurity labels? They're welcome to reuse mine from a while back.

I love how this makes perfect sense as a programmer but would sound horrible to anyone else

People screaming about the Web Environment Integrity proposals are not exaggerating. It's the biggest threat to user freedom I've seen for a long time.

Its proponents state that one goal is to "continue to allow web browsers to browse the Web without attestation" - but this goal is simply not compatible with reality. If they can block non-attested user agents, they will. (remember when they were agents of the user???)

The GNU Boot people actually sent me a cease and desist email, citing trademark infringement. Amazing.

Despite the original site clearly stating that it's unofficial. I literally made it to help them. You know, to help them use newer Libreboot because they use old Libreboot and even older coreboot.

Anyway, I complied with their polite request and have renamed the project to non-GeNUine Boot. The release archive is re-compiling.

Personally, I like the new name better.

Reddit users figured out that some bot crawlers scrape popular threads and auto-generate AI articles based on user comments, so they decided to create some fake hype to confuse them.

It worked.

This is why real journalism matters.

Like, I get it - if you're like me you've spent a ton of time getting decent at a craft and then to see an AI do it is upsetting. But if you'd told me in the abstract "in the year 2030 or so, you'll be able to make a feature film in your basement" I'd be in favor of it at almost any cost!

I owe you all the deepest and sincerest apology. It has been brought to my attention that my facts are enabling fascism and destroying democracy. I am especially sorry for the harmful facts stating that:

-Every month is National Potato Month.
-George W. Bush has a Foo Fighters tattoo on his back.
-Optimus Prime is the only heterosexual Transformer.
-The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New York City.
-Cher’s full name is Chernobyl.

I pray that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me.
