One thing that pretty consistently drops me out of the flow state is having to dig through documentation for whatever I'm trying to use, or even worse having to dig through its source code because the documentation is either nonexistent or eg. plain wrong

There's a special place in hell for the inventor of semantically significant whitespace.

YAML itself is one of the circles of hell. You have to copy-paste YAML from web etc sources with dubious formatting for all eternity, and the editor doesn't have YAML support. Also you can only use Python

Skipped straight to the "you're a rapist for making this joke", huh?

Maybe you can just like block me and move on with your life? It's not like I'm going to remove this meme just because you think it's making fun of trauma, and you're not going to get me to repent my evil ways either. Or do you want to lecture me some more, maybe call me a rapist again?

It's a little bit funny. Sorry about your caveman sex education trauma, though

In today's episode of "weird shit I stumbled onto on the internet", I bring you: nuclear-powered pacemakers.

Some of the earlier pacemakers made in the US, around the 70's, were powered by a very small amount of plutonium. If you've ever heard of the term radioisotope thermoelectric generator or RTG in relation to eg. satellites, that's what the pacemakers used. The upside of using an RTG was that the device could run for decades without needing to get its power source replaced. The downside is that you now have plutonium sown in to your chest cavity – which actually isn't as bad as it sounds considering the amounts used, but it's still a highly radioactive element and presents some fun challenges, some of which are discussed in the article.

Here's an article on the technical details on how they, and thermoelectric kajiggers in general, work https://blog.plover.com/tech/seebeck-effect.html

The same thing is happening to every commodity and service – "enshittification" isn't just an internet thing.

It all boils down to psychopathic greedy executives and boards squeezing every last cent from consumers (and workers) to make themselves richer. Prices and therefore corporate profits keep going up, pay keeps going down (because it's not inflation-adjusted) and the quality of everything is going down the shitter, just to benefit the 1%

Coffee, vodka and a cigarette.

A whopping 80% of bosses regret their initial return-to-office decisions and say they would have approached their plans differently if they had a better understanding of what their employees wanted

In other words, 80% of executives / bosses are completely incapable of listening to their employees and are now shocked that things aren't working out, when they were undoubtedly explicitly told this wouldn't go the way they think it will.

Ah well, time to blame the plebs, cut their pay and benefits, and give the execs a raise so they can confidently execute a new disaster.

Protect your hearing, kids!

Seriously, PROTECT YOUR FUCKING HEARING. I was young and stupid (now I'm no longer young) and went to way too many raves, gigs etc. without any sort of hearing protection, and now I have a nice constant background track of EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and can't hear higher frequencies worth shit

So it's not actually a smartphone vulnerability as much as it is an SMS (or any other similar system with delivery receipts) vulnerability? Your old brick of a Nokia phone would have this same problem

It's a bullshit answer to placate people. "We don't want this to turn into DRM for the web" when it's literally doing exactly that, regardless of what they claim they're doing

Oh yeah, packet sniffing exit nodes in a privacy oriented network will surely go down well and will have no unforeseen consequences

No no, you don't understand: the rules only apply to plebs like you and me. Corporations and their rich executives are free to do anything they want

Elmo is angy that Meta hired the employees he fired (or who quit because Twitter's a fucking dumpster fire) to build a Twitter-like service.
