Listen, they signed up to shoot Black men and hassle homeless people. You can’t expect police officers to police shit.

The juxtaposition of ChatGPT's power with its lack of common sense can be amusing.

Here ChatGPT repeats the widespread misconception that hashing is not invertible... in the same sentence in which it correctly inverted the example hash that I gave it!

I finally did the trick where I made a filter in gmail so that anything with the word "unsubscribe" in the body of the email bypasses the inbox and gets archived immediately, and I haven't gotten a single piece of spam in 4 hours and I feel like a new woman.

Can everyone please stop adding their Mastodon usernames to their Twitter names? It’s really frustrating for screen reader users. Hearing them being read out loud when scrolling down my timeline isn’t fun.

Add it to your bio or make a pinned tweet instead.

[Marius Gedminas @mgedmin]

du -x (running as root) is is complaining about Permission denied errors from revokefs-fuse mounts. What can I do about that? I don't like the daily cron error emails from my script that runs du -x /

Saw this in my 📩 and… this is wild: https://t.co/oiXaTi0kiu

…not unheard of, tho.
Last time I tried BTRFS with frequent software updates, it only lasted a week before FUBAR.
I'm always told "this was solved", yet keep seeing such horror stories. BTRFS by default is a mistake.

@graingert Oh, --stepwise is a cool feature! Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

One thing I still miss from zope.testrunner when I use pytest on a project with a large test suite: zope.testrunner would give me the error tracebacks immediately so I can go work on that right now. pytest makes me wait until the entire suite finishes running 10 minutes later.
