FYI, the best way to phish my Google credentials is to wait until my tab goes idle and then replace it with Google's "Verify it's you" screen when I tab back to it. It's guaranteed to work every time, because I will be too busy swearing to remember to check the domain in the URL.

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.

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. :)

Me: "please follow these steps to make it work"
Person: "but what if I don't and try to do it my own way?"
...(shortly after)...
Person: "help, I've tried everything and it's not working"

billyjoebowers@mastodon.onlineEvery day I read theories about why the media favors Nazis and gives bad coverage to Biden,.
"They're trying to make it a horse race"
"Incompetence"
"Ratings"
But never "Billionaires own the companies and they're on the side of the Nazis", which seems like the simpler, more obvious explanation to me.

mike@flipboard.comThe big problem with Tesla that this article misses completely is that many of Tesla's most enthusiastic customers (like I once was) no longer want to support a person who is actively promoting hateful conspiracy theories and providing nazis and Russians with a platform to disrupt the upcoming U.S. election.

Just found out that my "Pixel 5a" actually isn't so much "5a", just "Pixel 5" -- which explains the conspicuous absence of security updates since last November.
I want all my phones to display "this device is no longer receiving security updates," whenever this happens in the future, thank you.
/me throws more money at Google for a Pixel 8, which just happens to be on sale right now.

I can't help you with your scam, but I feel bad that you can't even afford accented characters. Here, these are on me: é è à ç
Hope that helps!
