The word "so" should operate on the same number of "o"s rule as the word "to".

Like, if something can be too cute it should also be soo cute.

This will make absolutely no one's life easier but it just feels right and it should be the way it is and I refuse to be convinced otherwise.

What I’m taking from this is that software engineers spend most of our time on engineering software, and writing code is (as expected) a relatively small portion of that work.

Imagine this for other engineering disciplines. “Wow structural engineers seem to spend most of their time on meetings and CAD and relatively little time physically building bridges with their hands! This is something AI can and should fix. I am very smart”

The logic of IP law is simple: 'It may be utter nonsense, but if it meets the relevant legal criteria, it's your nonsense and yours alone to commercially cherish'.

Americans: "Oh no, we couldn't possibly replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20; what kind of precedent would it set if we just started changing the picture on our money?"

Encryption backdoors must never be allowed. To prove that Tuta Mail and Tuta Calendar are free from any backdoor, the entire client code is published as open source. Let's fight against mass surveillance! ✊

Fedora 41 final ISO is ready for release 👀

- The fediverse is almost optimized for tricking people into starting instances without realizing how the resource/moderation burden will scale as it grows

- The fediverse therefore makes the single chief operators of a server a single point of failure

- Offers those operators no options for dealing with overextension/burnout/cost growth other than shutting down

- And offers the users no facility for saving either their usernames or their post histories when the shutdown inevitably happens

I feel so seen. 🚲

I posted this pic to FB a few weeks into covid lockdowns, saying i was "throwing a few beers back with my buds", and one of my family members scolded me for acting irresponsibly
