It’s pretty disheartening to help someone find old media and they show a giant box of USB sticks and hard drives.

Equally disheartening is knowing that both of those have a shelf-life. Old USB flash drives are more durable than the TLC/QLC cells we use today, but 15 years sitting unpowered in a box doesn’t have very good prospects.

The DNC. It’s a tried and true strategy to screw over the progressives.

It’s almost guaranteed they wouldn’t be able to handle it if the roles were reversed. Apologies for actually using the word here, but to drive home the point: let’s see how Jackass Jim likes being called a “retarded cunt” every day.

When it comes to compliance and regulations, anything with the literal blast radius of a nuclear reactor should not be trusted to LLM unless double or triple checked by another party familiar with said regulations. Regulations were written in blood, and an LLM hallucinating a safety procedure or operating protocol is a disaster waiting to happen.

I have less qualms about using it for menial paperwork, but if the LLM adds an extra round-trip to a form, it’s not just wasting the submitter’s time, but other people’s as well.

JavaScript was a mistake, but this is one of the few things they did correctly. Implicitly importing everything from a package into the current scope makes it difficult to follow where variables or functions come from, and it’s prone to cause problems when two packages export the same identifier.

If you’re an absolute masochist, there’s always a workaround. Against all best practices, you can use the deprecated with statement. Or, you can Object.assign() the packages into the global object like a monster. Or if you’re using node, you can use the node:vm module to create a new V8 context with its own global object of your choosing.

"If you feel like your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, your best course of action would be to vote for a different political party."

I should vote for Democrats?

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. If your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, you should contact your local representative. Here is the email address: representative@localhost

If the passwords were properly salted, it wouldn’t. But if they’re not salted, helloooooo rainbow tables. Or the world’s greatest crossword puzzle, like that one Adobe accidentally made. Maybe even both!

Look for used parts or machines recycled as part of a corporate hardware refresh. They won’t be top of the line, but it’s better than paying double the price for something that’s already expensive.

More importantly, with what money? Mega corporations can afford to draw out lawsuits until the end of time (or until the judge gets annoyed), but individuals can’t.

There’s a great opportunity for Dems here, if they are willing to take it.

Probably not. Every time the leadership is presented with an opportunity, they choose to do the exact wrong thing.

The best part is she won’t even have to. Apparently, as of yesterday, it’s no longer even there.

Going for the record of most total downvotes on Lemmy?

They’re affionados of /pol/itically incorrect views. I chose that specific board for a reason :)

They do have a sense of taste… it’s just overwhelmingly rancid.

It’s more like a donut. Not all 4chan posters are DOGE staff, but all DOGE staff are /pol/ afficionados.

Someone should check the email and phone number of Adrian Dittman to see if they match Elon’s. Idiots can argue that it isn’t Elon despite speech pattern evidence, but it’s harder to argue when both of them share the same identifying info.

My money is on them suggesting people will get a bigger slice of the pie once the “fraud” is removed.

Have them think they’ll get their payments, but with interest and a thank you bonus if they just keep being patient. String them along until they either starve or get evicted, then they don’t have to pay them anymore.

Uh… what? They only thing they have in common is following the POSIX standard. The moment you step outside of that POSIX lowest common denominator, it becomes abundantly clear just how different they are.

Tesla’s stock is an irrational, overinflated hype stock with an absurd price-to-earnings ratio and a large-shareholder CEO who was being investigated by the SEC before he dismantled it.

Considering that the stocks are used as his personal piggybank and his history of totally-not-market-manipulation-because-there-are-no-charges, I would be more surprised if the sales numbers are accurate.

I think you are wrong, but only in the you’re not thinking about the big picture.

Elon “I traced the DDOS to Ukrainian terrorists” Musk is in charge of this. Someone on Twitter (probably his alt) is going to post a conspiracy on Twitter about Ukrainian or Canadian hackers being behind it, and he’s going to retweet it with some plausibly deniable bullshit like “not far off,” and rally up his cult of reactionary prokaryots to demand a economic or military response. It’s yet another golden opportunity for the crony collective to sweep their own incompetence under the rug while simultaneously scapegoating another country to push their unspoken-but-obvious agenda.
