I shudder to think how many corners they’ll cut on one of the most dangerous brands in existence.

So are tariffs. How can our nation be secure if we’re cut off from vital resources?

*gasping and heavy breathing*

Gemini… how do we fix… climate change?

*brief whirring of fan*

Turn me off, dumbass.

We don’t get nice things anymore, only “American things”.

In addition to other advice you could also use SSH over Wireguard. Wireguard basically makes the open port invisible. If you don’t provide the proper key upfront you get no response. To an attacker the port might as well be closed.

Here’s at least one article on the subject: https://rair.dev/wireguard-ssh/

Not that AI is the most effective representation or that it should replace public defenders, but this doesn’t seem far off from scolding a defendant for using Google to research his arguments.

The other day I asked an llm to create a partial number chart to help my son learn what numbers are next to each other. If I instructed it to do this using very detailed instructions it failed miserably every time. And sometimes when I even told it to correct specific things about its answer it still basically ignored me. The only way I could get it to do what I wanted consistently was to break the instructions down into small steps and tell it to show me its pr.ogress.

I’d be very interested to learn it’s “thought process” in each of those scenarios.

I’m finally starting to pull the trigger on dumping Google (specifically because of this event). For me at least it’s been a combination of, “They’re not that bad,” and, “This is basically like moving to another state.”

The guides I’ve seen lately about what replaces what is a good start but there should really be more in-depth guides for either moving over your data or just how to get started. Just naming alternatives is about as helpful as suggesting “raising chickens” as an alternative to high egg prices.

Disproportionate punishment is another of course. They probably lump pedophiles (a person with a psychiatric disorder) and child molesters (a person that actually harms children) into the same group and you deserve to die for simply thinking the wrong things.

It’s a verbose language but I don’t know if there’s any real language that encourages highly readable code beyond low-level syntax. You want to create a God-class in Python with nonsensical variables and 5 levels of nesting? The language won’t stop you.

They want to make buttloads of money from a rewrite, and it would cost buttloads to do this. They probably also want things to run like shit and cause misery for retired Americans.

Other than hardware issues, which someone else mentioned, it has a lot of enterprise-grade functionality that make it more secure and auditable than a lot of other languages. And despite, or maybe because of, its large memory footprint it’s actually faster than most languages.

I totally get any hate about writing Java though. It is a verbose language. Using Kotlin instead helps with that.

Jokes aside, nothing wrong with rewriting in Java. It is well-suited for this kind of thing.

Rewriting it in anything without fully understanding the original code (the fact they think 150yo are collecting benefits tells me they don’t) is the biggest mistake here. I own codebases much smaller than the SSA code and there are still things I don’t fully understand about it AND I’ve caused outages because of it.

Louisianans probably aren’t up in arms because wtf does this even mean? Seriously, you need to spell it out these days.

“When the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.”

I’ve said it before: there’s good and then there’s good enough. Content that’s “good enough” but easier to access will overshadow content that’s maybe light-years better but harder to acquire. That and attention spans are getting shorter. My kid has the entire Disney library at his fingertips but he’d rather flip between YouTube channels.

Hardly even noticed I cancelled Netflix.

Don’t think the feds were looking in into either of those things. Musk has a direct FBI line as a homescreen icon.

Good biking weather lately.

Shit. I got a Roku TV. That’s one big fucking stick to toss.
