I do tech things and sometimes post about them.

Some people might know "bash russian roulette":

[ $[ $RANDOM % 6] = 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo "Click"

which generated a random number between 0 and 5 and if it's a zero it deletes all your files.

Running an "agent" like Moltbot is basically that with more climate impact.

Yes, independent press is important.

But they also for the most part did a lousy job reporting about how disabled, transgender or foreign-looking people were targeted first.

And now acting like they're the first being attacked after some of them finally started to do their job is basically erasure

dutch trains are digital. either you arrive approximately on time or you do not arrive at all
german trains are satanic. you will eventually arrive but the price in terms of time may be greater than you intended

Tried to use gemini today to recognize the connector used for the debug port on a CD Player.

The first answer was wrong.

The second answer was that it couldn't help me because using that port might break the manufacturers ToS.

WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT?

I'm scrolling through Nintendo's "newly released" section right now.

Why is there at least one game with hentai in the name on every page?
