My Wife: "I forgot you were drunk"

LLM generated text is fascinatingc because there's two groups managing it.
1) I am going to call the SpamAssassin side, now I know that you've likely not has email that wasn't Office365 or Gmail for a decade or more, and those are Category Two email services, but we scrappy underdogs filtering email with SpamAssassin have an effect where LLM generated text looks like garbage, and so if you generate your words or images with a GPT engine, it's gotta be scored as garbage
2) the Google/Facebook/Microsoft stance that you should allow all LLM text and diffusion images! They're great! It's the AI revolution!
The problem with Category 2 is that it rapidly makes all your stuff garbage (people only see spam), because if people can generate stuff no one wants to see, but gets past the filter, they will. Google will literally pay them to do that.
If you block that stuff, people who claim there are ethical uses for LLMs (a lie) will be caught, and those generating human supervised text carefully will be blocked.
The goals of people-who-make-money-on-clicks (read: everyone) are only served if:
We only use category 1 filters
The people making money on clicks create things that pass category 1 filters
And the whole "what is happening to facebook" is just the culmination of this obvious point

I need to invent JaaS, pronounced Jazz, which is secretly just Jenkins as a Service, but is the CI everyone is hoping and wishing for.
Everyone out here with their cobbled together hell of YAML and docker containers trying to build the perfect CI system, and Groovy is just sitting there being simple.
The confidence that tech trainers seem to have that all messaging over Port 80 is unencrypted baffles me
It's just so outside my experience

Maybe you can find some other BT dongle that has an external antenna?

CISSP exam in two weeks, and I've no iudea how the exam compares to the practices
I feel like I know all the stuff, but feel like a 4 hour multiple choice exam I have to wake up at 6:30 am for is the least ideal way to test that
Any advice/assurances for someone who really just needs letters that tell well-meaning HR people that I am hirable?

@silverwizard: if I can pass it, just about anybody can. There is certainly a lot of stuff to take in, but it is learnable.
I should admit that it took me two tries, but i got there 🙃

Fuck
I just realized why I'm always confused why my coworkers want an update in slack for PR changes rather than just using the automated emails.
It's because I've levelled to the point of being Email Driven
@Hypolite Petovan Just shark your wires! It'll be fine!
Or use some screen scraping! We're too afraid of writing software that lies to other software! Mouse clicks are just programs!

Doing a vulnerability hunt at work. Finding everything that's low priority and triaging it.
Everyone is learning why they don't want to do my job!

I need to figure out what happened and then file a bug report for blueman >.<
Anyone have an issue where the default bluetooth controller is powered off, but there's a secondary controller, and so when the open blueman-manager the window closes immediately because the controller is disabled?

I had a currywurst at a pub last summer, and I've thought about it on and off since. Went back to the pub a week ago, and now I made my own.
Currywurst is fucking amazing

Aw fucking shit!
@Titan Up the Defense posted a fucking episode! I know it's a different show now but it doesn't matter! Fuck yeah!
I should make a neocities for this as well! To rival the amazing titanupthedefense.neocities.org
My mother-in-law still wont look at me, talk to me, or be in the same room as me, its been almost 6 months since I told her she couldn't blame my son for being bullied (and explicitly she couldn't tell him it's his fault). Apparently she just wants an apology.
Parenting sucks,

@Erin the hard part is that it's his cousin bullying him and my wife and sister in law are super close, making it very hard to avoid.
I'm just mostly so upset how much non-parents think they are entitled to parent kids. And I know my mom is super bad about it to, we just have way more experience fighting with each other.
And yeah, trying to be better parents than your parents is the eternal struggle ain't it.
I am on my second cup of coffee today. I am dreaming already of my third.
I went off coffee for 3 months for reasons of "I try to force myself to not get too addicted", but fuck, I am so happy I am back on coffee

What ever happened to that weird mess of uzbl, xombrero, surf and so on. I've heard so little about weird minimal browsers. Might be that I'm out of university - but I thought the Fediverse was filling that hole.
I never got into uzbl or surf - I was a Xombrero user due to the OpenBSD package being easy - I wonder how stable those are? Kinda the inverse of LibreWolf.

So I redid my phone homescreens to avoid having application links, and replaced everything with widgets.
For years I've felt like desktop widgets are mostly a gimmick and pointless, and basically after a day this way I've completely reversed my decision on them. I basically got annoyed at the way that the shortcut model leads to just a soup of icons and I usually just go to the display of all and then use the link from there, and I completely reversed my decision. Feels very weird.

I feel like things are in chaos, and I need to figure out stability for the next little bit, somewhere to ride this out

@Hypolite Petovan The problem is the phantom concept of AI polluting the decisions.
If you could say:
If a platform allows AI then it will become nothing but spam
If a platform blocks AI then it will block people using Ethical AI
But, part of it is that Ethical AI isn't real, and AI is a problematic branding term.
But part of it is that Google/Microsoft/Facebook are allowing AI posts because that way their AI marketing is easier, but it's ruining platforms.
It's really obvious but it's so hard to put into words.

Yeah! Exactly! This!
Facebook is boosting fake content and now is a mess of spam, and that's it. Filter it like bot content, or ruin your site.
