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!
ALT Q: Is it possible to find the string whose MD5 hash is "098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6"? A: It is not possible to determine the original input value (i.e. the string "test") from its MD5 hash value ("098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6") because the MD5 hash function is a one-way function, which means that it is easy to compute the hash value for a given input, but it is computationally infeasible to determine the input value from the hash value. This is a desirable property for a hash function because it allows for the efficient storage and comparison of hash values, while still providing some level of protection for the original input values.

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.

Communicating the climate crisis to non-experts is difficult. Here I tried to illustrate in a simple way where we stand and where we are heading.

like yes, we should be re-indigenising rainforests and grasslands, and planting food trees where it is appropriate to do so, but also you have to get rid of the billionaires or they'll just come raze it all to the ground again.
you can't heal the burns before you douse the fire.

Thread time. Here's the thing about @tesla. It's not a car company. Tesla is a company that has to make cars in order to sell its real product: Emissions Credits.
Let me explain. Back in 2012, the EPA put out new, strident emissions standards for new vehicles fleetwide. 1/

Regulatory Credits on account for a small percentage of Tesla Revenue.
2020: 6.2%
2021: 3.2%
2022: 2.7%
As of FY Q3 2022 Credits were only $287m against profits of $3.3b

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: ask.fedoraproject.org/t/help…
…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.
