"To sex" is to determine sex (gender.)

How many people consider what a bathroom looks like before booking a hotel room? I can't say I've ever done so.

How many posts about this do we need this week?

I'm not sure how much sandboxing can help here. Presumably you're giving the tool access to a repo directory, and that's where a juicy .env file can live. It will also have access to your environment variables.

I suspect a lot of people permanently allow actions and classes of commands to be run by these tools rather than clicking "yes" a bunch of times during their workflows. Ride the vibes.

I've tried the shaders in the following repo with ghostty. They definitely work. I ended up keeping a cursor trail shader. https://github.com/0xhckr/ghostty-shaders

Gotta love the Streisand effect that happens due to stuff like this!

Maybe social connection doesn't come easy to them and they don't care about it much.

Google renamed Bard to Gemini last year. Side note: Google's "Gemini" product name is way overloaded. They have like 6 different things that you can buy/use that are named that.

There will always be a million "what-ifs" that can be used to justify the erosion of personal liberties and privacy.

They'd find a need (or excuse) for it regardless of the state of our immigration system.

Besides hating immigrants and Palantir contributing to the surveillance state? Just like drug dealers, I guess someone else would do it if he weren't.

It's always projection with those people.

That may be true, but that's not the news I'm exposed to. I only see him pop up every few years or so when he's announcing The Next Big Thing or trying to look/act more like a human person.

Musk tried that once at a Dave Chappelle show. It didn't go so well for him.

Those that have their names on the high score board of capitalism are truly the Einsteins of our generation and we should be so lucky to hear every thought stream that dribbles out of their heads.

The UI/UX of Twitter has always been a dumpster fire. The non-sequential view that you get when accessing a page when not logged in is horrible.

Ah, I was hoping (at least rough) coordinates were something that this would do. I have HA and have been looking at mmwave devices for that use case. For things like "turn on a light, but only once I've sat down in the chair."

I also can't be hacked if I pull the power to my PC!

It seems like I'm probably preaching to the choir, but what really is the attack surface with coreutils? I can't imagine there have been a lot of pwns as a result of the `date` command.

If a company needs to rely on the CEO to file bug reports, it really shows their absolute lack of QA and testing along the way.
