  1. Just polled my software team: without googling or asking, have you heard of #copyfail ? if so, do you know what it is sufficiently to explain it to a colleague?

    Not a single hand. We make embedded #linux devices. ( yes, ours are affected.)

    Call me old fashioned, but when I was a #developer I _kept tabs on shit_. First coffee every morning was pouring over #slashdot and #thedailywtf and a dozen tech specific #blogs and #newsgroups and #channels. Whats new, or blowing up?

  6. @fosstodon #Slashdot has their Mastodon account there.

    Are they sleeping?

  7. "Cal.com Is Going Closed Source Because of AI" #Slashdot

    "I make the code proprietary for AI" what a pathetic excuse.
    Have they read the #agpl?
    Do they know that they are not at all obliged to give the code to pigs and dogs, without asking anyone for anything?
    They could easily put the code in a repo 'watched by human personnel'.

  9. Stopping visiting #CondéNast sites has not been easy. #Slashdot and #ArsTechnica have been two of my most visited sites forever!

    But after learning of their treatment of their union workers, I can't in good conscience give them my attention.

  14. "#ReactOS Celebrates 30 Years - #Slashdot"
    "Gandalf, I was there 3000 years ago" i.e. tell me I'm old without telling me I'm old 😅

  15. "Nearly 5 Million Accounts Removed Under #Australia's New #SocialMedia #Ban" - #Slashdot
    Is this right? I don't think so. This don't make young people to grow as responsible adults, it is only a show of power of the government that treats its citizens as a stupid mass to be controlled.

  16. Im Geiste der aktuellen Bestrebungen, sich von ausbeuterischen Großkonzernen frei zu machen (#DID, #DUD), möchte ich auf meinen Artikel hinweisen, wo ich erkläre, weshalb man bei der Auswahl, wo man sich im Internet einbringt, genauer hinschauen soll.

    Don't Contribute Anything Relevant in #WebForums Like #Reddit, #HackerNews, #Slashdot, #StackOverflow, ...
    karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid- (habe ich auch damals am #37C3 mal vorgetragen)

    Der Aspekt, der damals noch keine Rolle gespielt hat war, dass die #KI die Beitragsautor:innen ausbeutet, um beispielsweise damit Profit zu machen.

    insofern: überlegt euch, auf welchen Plattformen ihr euer Wissen teilt. Ein eigener #Blog mit RSS/Atom-Feeds wird zusehends spannender.

  21. @CGM Thinking back, there were so many wonderful things in these languages, even languages that for one reason or another essentially went away. My best friend is a #Perl expert (which I used at #Slashdot). I love that Perl has regular expressions built-in to the language; but I don’t want to write Perl anymore. I loved the way #Oberon2 connected functions to types.

  36. I really dislike the "it's always DNS" trope because frequently it's something else, but #Kroger's shit was fucked all day and it was definitely #DNS. I think they have it loosely functional now, though there are so many nested CNAMEs the #dnsviz graph resembles a late '90s #Slashdot page-widening post. I can't even attach it here because, uh, it's 23,000 pixels wide 😲
