  Anonymized data usually just means they removed your name and left every single thing that identifies you.

  Have you ever noticed how people have normalized asking "Why" in response to "I want to do X". It is just a statement, not an invitation for justification..or follow-up questions.

  I've personally grown to hate the security theatre of rotating my bank passwords every six months, especially because of requirements like "must contain one uppercase, one symbol, one lowercase, one special case and the blood of a unicorn." When mathematically, a simple, grammatically incorrect sentence of 25 characters is much harder for a machine to crack than a gibberish 8-character password with symbols. Entropy loves length. I love the idea that the most secure...

  The dumbest person you know is dictating his vision for an app to a hallucination engine housed in an environment destroying data-center which tells him he's the next Steve Jobs. This has to have long term consequences for humanity. #noai #ai #technology #programming #linux #sysadmin

  RE: https://oldbytes.space/@howtophil/117235140915608418 growing up, when we had the computer class in school, I used to be genuinely excited. Not one of my parents grew up with computers either, so this came to me naturally. I liked maths or english literature but this was the class I gravitated towards. I had no idea of the money to be made in computers as a career back then, or someone to tell me software engineers are "well paid". So, that's how I slowly made up m...

  I'm so tired. People, I am not interested in reading *blogs* generated with claude, gemini or chatgpt. No, not even ones proofread by AI. Do it yourself. I do not wish to even accidentally click on "one-shotted" dummy projects. Don't show me your AI-generated analysis of anything. Above all, I do not wish to see images/artwork someone prompt created. I value real content, with all its good and bad quirks, from actual human beings. Somebody please normalize auto-tagging of AI...

  Do you see the problem with AI and how it massively enables bullies and perverts? This is what a recent IPF World Junior medalist from India posted on her instagram.

  The death of the password is not very far in the future, if our overlords are to be believed. Google is pitching this new "selfie video" recovery as a lifeline for when you lose your phone. I get the appeal, losing your primary gmail account is akin to a digital eviction for millions. But think about the architecture we are accepting here. You are anchoring your entire digital life to a biometric that you publicly leave on every Zoom call and Instagram story you ever posted. How lo...

  You can offset carbon on a spreadsheet. Yet you can't offset thermodynamics in the real world. Big tech is bragging about "water-efficient" AI data centers while intentionally omitting the power plant. Read this article. In the US, generating the electricity to run these clusters uses roughly 12x more water than the data centers use on-site. Buying "water credits" in Michigan does not change the physical reality that you are boiling off the local m...

  A classic case of "compliance =/= usability" Technically, this 10.25 contrast ratio sails past WCAG AAA. But to the human eye, it remains a bit of a chore to read. Well to me, at least. Standard WCAG 2.x math evaluates relative luminance of flat colors as kind of a proxy for legibility. It doesn't account for spatial frequency, i.e. the actual stroke width of the font. At 13/14px, a monospaced font like JetBrains Mono has very thin strokes, meaning we might require m...

  Holy smokes some people can see the future. I visited my cousin brother today, he likes to game a lot. Turn out last year he somehow anticipated all this memory shortage phenomenon and upgraded to a disc edition of Sony PS5 with an 8TB SSD from Western Digital. Surely that disc is alone worth double now right? #memory #gaming #ssd #electronics #hardware #ps5

  Just remember, if someone is making $90K a month trading stocks/being a highly sought after software engineer/training high end athletes for sports/[fill-in-the-blanks], they wouldn’t need to sell you a course.

  Hot take, perhaps. What doesn't sit right with me is perhaps the idea that trading the majority of your waking hours for money is the natural order of things, when it is really just one economic arrangement among many that got locked in and dressed up as inevitability. Most people spend their healthiest decades doing work they would not choose, to buy back small slices of the freedom they gave away, and we call this being responsible. Layered on top of it are supporting scams that ke...
