Purple and red and yellow and on fire. Not really here anymore.

@HRHTish Proof?

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

So where’s the proof that Alice Huang is a Chinese intelligence asset? Anything other than a racist NYT piece by anti-China hawks citing “a memo?”

Affairs are bad. The rest of this just reeks of creating justification for trade, diplomatic or military action against China.

@Biglaborboi Could’ve gone Horde Shaman but I went Alliance Mage instead. No regrets.

Things that must be done — and things newly-empowered Democrats won’t dare to even think of doing.

arrest Elon Musk
seize his factories
nationalize SpaceX

I've never had such a cute animation give me such anxiety...

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

I was going to do a costume with PHP on the front and the number 4 on the back.

But I’m tired so went with disgruntled sysadmin: hoodie, jeans, sneakers, holding a clump of my hair in my hand.

I would like to congratulate the organizers of the 2026 Cybersecurity Awareness Month for putting together a truly spectacular event

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

There are workers whose names we will never know in every sector of industry, element of the arts, discipline of academia, on every continent of the globe who have contributed more to a productive society than Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk or any other billionaire ever will.

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

A computer can never be held accountable

Therefore a computer must never make a management decision

— IBM, 1979

But that isn’t the whole story. We can hold accountable the people who control, program and finance the machines that make the decisions that impact us.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Machines are tools, not persons. Today, some propose granting these systems rights, or even legal personhood. Such an approach risks obscuring human responsibility and leaving those who suffer harm to confront a faceless entity.

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

There are workers whose names we will never know in every sector of industry, every discipline of the arts, every discipline of academia, every part of the world who have contributed more to a productive society than Sam Altman, Peter Thiel or any other billionaire ever will

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

It’s bad that Sam Altman’s lungs use the world’s limited supply of oxygen.

Techno-capitalism, techno-optimism and e/acc are billionaire ideologies that keep workers down & destroy the environment.

Not to mention he abused his sister Annie who’s gotten no justice. Criminal.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Sam Altman says its bad that everyone's personal computers are using the world's limited supply of memory chips.

"It’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAMs sitting in their own computer, and being used 5% of the time. Like, you want maximum utilization."

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

@SrirachaVodka srirachavodka for comptroller. I’m making it happen tomorrow

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

@SrirachaVodka I was gonna write in you but I guess Abdul works too 😂

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

@endingwithali Sleep. Can “sleep” be a safe word?

[Chris Garaffa @cmg]

I’m somewhere in the 40-50 age range and my friends aren’t discussing this or the GitLab 10.0 without me promoting it. Should I be concerned?

[spor @sporadica]

If you're 25-30, and your main circle isn't discussing:

- Two critical vulnerabilities being identified in PHP that allow malicious actors to remotely execute code in PHP core, potentially compromising sensitive data and networks.

Then it's time to elevate your circle.

[zeynep tufekci @zeynep]

The first incident has ZERO to do with AI — the cert authority used 4 bit entropy instead of 384 🫠.

In the second, AI is heavily on the defense side of a long-existing problem finally being fixed.

AI creates issues but important to understand them right.

Patch your software.
