Me: MS Teams channels cannot contain MS-DOS device names?? Good lord

Friend: No this makes sense, it's a chain of dependencies. Every teams channel is a SharePoint folder

I think god is dead for sure

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.

polluting zoom's LLM input by holding regular hangouts where we all wear grotesque masks and communicate through grunting and gibbering, so that the first time zoom tries to generate something from its dataset it looks like the baccanale from Häxan (1922)

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.

Every time I hear about a particularly stupid belief that's somehow common in the USA I just remember that 80% of americans want mandatory labels on foods containing DNA.

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???)

Where could I check if a product respects privacy and preferably also how it appears through the FOSS lens? Not being insane and giving the worst rating because a product contains a binary blob driver would be a nice bonus.
