@ljs I believe it's the default mode of all drivers (except me, of course, I'm the only excellent driver on the road).

Tesla is running a deep discount on the "Full Self Drive (FSD)" subscription right now, so I got it for a month just to try it out. I've completely turned it off after a couple of days:
- It tried to drive me through red lights a couple of times, because apparently, it has no concept of "green arrow" and assumes anything greenish-looking means green in all directions.
- I can sense the frustration from other drivers, because the FSD is stupidly indecisive at intersections with all-direction stop signs -- it waits for too long, and then tries to go when the other driver has given up waiting on me.
- When it auto-changes lanes to pass a slower vehicle, it just stays in the left lane and only moves right when something comes up behind at higher speed -- and at that point the other driver is already changing lanes to pass me on the right because I'm clearly stupid.
- And overall, it's like permanently having a grossly incompetent driver's ed graduate drive you around.
Don't bother. It will make everyone angry and then try to kill you.

@dangoodin @triskelion Dan, thank you for following up. I do not speak for the Linux Foundation, so I cannot address any of the items you highlighted in any official way. However, two important facts to keep in mind: 1) at the time of the break-in, k.org infrastructure was NOT managed by LF. It was managed by a team of volunteers from the kernel development community. LF only took the stewardship of k.org infrastructure several months after the incident. I believe I was the first actual LF employee to get access to k.org infrastructure, and that was in November of 2011, when I started at the Foundation. 2) the findings in the paper about "2 years" were as new to me as to everyone else, and I have no idea about the source on which they base this claim. I believe that all hardware involved in the compromise was turned over to the FBI as part of the investigation and I didn't get to touch any of it -- physically or otherwise.
For the transparency aspect of things, I want to direct you to my talk I gave to the Linux Security Summit last year: https://youtu.be/K3SVt1WCheY?si=KbbCWTGCypfFTdSy
In it, I go over a lot of things, including how we try to make ourselves more resilient to any repeat compromises, should they happen (or if they already have and we just don't know it yet).
HTH.

@becomingwisest I'm not out to be rude. I just forwarded it up the chain.

@triskelion @dangoodin Dude, I don't know what I did to make you hostile to me. I wasn't there when any promises were made by previous k.org admins and I've certainly made transparency the core principle of our work. /o\

@wyatt8740 When reading "Equal Rites," do you get the vibe that JK Rowling also read that book and went "huh, an outcast applying for a wizarding school, that's a pretty neat plot"?

Heh, this dude emailed the helpdesk address at 4:40PM my time asking for a comment on a sensitive matter, and gave me a 2-hour turnaround to respond.

I've got to admit that ChatGPT 4o does a lot better at complex baseball scenarios than its predecessors. It still gives me invalid answers every now and again, but now they aren't nearly as frequent.
Just as a synth would do.

I'd like to know how someone can manage to find the helpdesk address on the kernel.org site, and yet not figure out that, you know, maybe it's not the site for the restaurant chain launched by the former Chipotle Mexican Grill CEO.

daniel:// stenberg://
bagder@mastodon.socialIt has been a long time coming, but I've made it official:
"Daniel no longer answers questions on stackoverflow. Use a dedicated public curl forum for accurate and timely answers about anything #curl. "
(yes, speaking about myself in 3rd person)

If instead of a trifecta of achievements you only manage to reach a single one, that's still a solid monofectum.

I'm so sorry if you're waiting on me! I am trying to get things down to something reasonable, but people just keep emailing me back and ruining my perfectly good downward trends. :)
