Do I smell SMEG in that bag?

I just noticed that ../ looks like eyes and an outreaching arm, as if it's a victim drowning in quicksand.

I'm sure this is trenchant, somehow. cc @cR0wcR0w

A terrible idea I must put out into the world just so I seem prophetic when someone searches back and says WHAT DID SHE KNOW?!:

There will be LLM pets at some point in the future. When folk get sick of the hallucinations and uncanny valley emulating humanity, we'll have strange small furry things -

그… 대장동 게이트라는 것을 검찰이 항고 안하기로 했는데 그걸가지고 검찰 내부에서 비판이 있었고 알고보니 법무부에서 그만하라 했다고 하고 뭐 그런 이야기가 있는데 맞나요…? 워낙 대충 들어서 잘 몰라요. 설명좀.. ​​

https://github.com/PotatoHamm/Nero-Productline-Vulnerability

Nero BackItUp in the Nero Productline is vulnerable to a path parsing/UI rendering flaw (CWE-22) that, in combination with Windows ShellExecuteW fallback extension resolution, leads to arbitrary code execution when a user clicks a crafted entry. By creating a trailing-dot folder and placing a same-basename script, Nero BackItUp renders the file as a folder icon and then invokes ShellExecuteW, which executes the script via PATHEXT fallback (.COM/.EXE/.BAT/.CMD). The issue affects recent Nero BackItUp product lines (2019-2025 and earlier) and has been acknowledged by the vendor.

I said my piece about Mozilla's newest adoption and promotion of fashtech in the form of AI. Please consider saying your piece as well. They might not listen, but perhaps the next open source project considering fashtech may see this reaction and think twice.

Thinking about this WH Auden quote, and the tendency of people to find a way for what they don't like to be morally bad (not quite his point here)

Really interesting teen subculture: straightedge #noAI art kids. (They're developing IT skills just to turn off or avoid "AI" slop—this gives me hope for the future)

For a lot of these kids (I've also heard them called the "AI vegans") a big college decision is coming up. And colleges, unfortunately, have middle managers who mandate fad-chasing just as much as other organizations do.

How to make a college short list that will be compatible with not being required to play with slop for 4 years?

Happy birthday!
