I went to Rome at the end of January 2020, and took this photo from my room. That's the dome of St. Peter's in the background.

Social media is dangerous, my wife has converted to Christianity on social media (before we met).

We know whom they serve.

So the EU wants to ban teens from social media — except for LGBTQ+ content? What a nuanced way to “protect children” online.

@cruelsardaukar @mern0k I thought it was Napoleon, not the Habsburgs.

@ThePrimeagen At least you've learned that it's not worth trying.
We have automated reviews, and it does catch bugs every now and then. Or splitting hairs (wHaT iF tHe PrOpErTy Is Of A dIfFeReNt TyPe – shut up, it's an internal task payload, what if cosmic rays flip a bit).
Or just plain dumb

When it comes to hotness, Kelvin is an absolute unit.

@RhysSullivan AFAIK it's for assets only.
But at which point should it be declared a it contains AI art?
1. Generated monster descriptions (text)
2. Generated concept art based on those descriptions
3. Generated 3D geometry based on concept art
4. Generated textures for the geometry

@MorlockP I was shocked to learn that in the browser you can do nothing to block extensions, you can't even detect extensions (additional bits to fingerprinting).
What a horrific thing they've created, extensions can read banking sites, because people tend to give them full access.

@trad_west_ Oh, I can totally understand this, this isn't Georgian, this is Hungarian.

@TheCatholicEngr That's quite cool.
It is quite common for larger Catholic communities to have their balls once or twice a year in Budapest.
Everybody is just supposed to know the dances so most people hit the dance courses.

@barnabasdotexe Why?

Btw. the mobile market is quite different outside the US, I hardly know any iPhone users.

[Peter Siroki @psiroki]

@barnabasdotexe Btw. it's the name of the Hun Attila's father.

@barnabasdotexe Bendegúz. Rhymes with bender goose.

@TaylorRMarshall We call it katekumenátus in Hungary, which I guess would be catechumenate in English.

@LundukeJournal I don't hate Rust, but I find rewriting things for Rust sake is idiotic.

[The Lunduke Journal @LundukeJournal]

Multiple, serious security vulnerabilities found in the Rust clone of Sudo — which shipped with Ubuntu 25.10 (the most recent release).

Not little vulnerabilities: We’re talking about the disclosure of passwords and total bypassing of authentication.

In fact, we’re getting new reports of showstopper grade issues every few days on the Rust-based clones (like sudo, du, date, and others) which were forced to ship in Ubuntu before they were fully tested.

Which is, of course, *exactly* what was predicted.

But, never fear! At least these Rust clones are memory safe!

PHEW!

@barnabasdotexe @boisechampion is the same. If you do this every year, your debt will be paid off by the 30th year, and you lost little money to the interest.
However, if you have financial problems, you have the option to stop saving+prepaying, and it's fine.

[Peter Siroki @psiroki]

@barnabasdotexe @boisechampion the outstanding debt is the same, it's really the principal payment that dropped. Let's say you can still pay the 30y loan, so you save up the money and do some prepayment after a year: your monthly payment drops by a bit, because there's less outstanding debt, but the schedule…
