@Jasonact @caseynewton @mosseri If they show you posts from potential advertisers because you're subscribed to them, they loose out on advertising revenue. Enshittification.

@falcennial If you're discussing reasons for pink unicorns not existing, you're already in too deep into pink unicorn cult territory. Arguments don't make people religious, arguments can't help them stop.

@davep @genehack I just meant I think it's not very intuitive.

The code we use to launch the crash reporter is incompatible with Android 11+. This means we might have missed some major stability issues because nobody could submit the reports.

The reason why we didn't notice is that some device vendors - like Samsung, Sony and OnePlus - have likely disabled some backwards incompatible changes in the system to accommodate for their apps being incompatible with newer versions of Android... and those changes made our code appear to work on those devices.

My drink came with a maraschino and I don't like those, so I asked a random guy if he wanted my cherry.

It was an accident!

This video is an amazing look at what draws everyone into flat earth and QAnon conspiracy theories. youtu.be/JTfhYyTuT44?si=6J3Z7m

Frankly, I'm appalled by the prospect of LLMs taking offensive security research jobs from honest, hard-working fuzzers

@davep @genehack I'm not convinced. Even implode(list, ",") makes more sense. But I'm partial to list.map(v => v.toString()).join(","), just makes more sense to me. And yes, I'm converting a list of objects to a list of strings, to a string.

The first wave of AI taking over the world will be autocomplete making weird mistakes to confuse us and cause conflicts.

"But what if they don't deserve that money?" is somehow only a question raised about poor people.

@greegreehoist After having kids I've started to appreciate things that don't fight or complain more. They're also older and fatter than me, which helps.

@matthiasott @robb I would say that if a user asks about a specific page it's allowed to access that page regardless of robots.txt, because it acts as a form of browser.

@fesshole We've all thought about it, thanks for following through.

@hbuchel If you put in some customer-facing or otherwise unpleasant work it makes you appreciate software development a lot more :) I've done my time in retail and in advertising.

Lol Neil Gaiman says

"ChatGPT doesn't give you information. It gives you information-shaped sentences."

This is one of the better ones I have seen.

If there was a loving god who created the Earth and all it's beauty, why would they not synchronize its rotation and travel time around the Sun? A year 365.2425 days long was not created by any deity I could bring myself to worship.
