This came very handy today, and the whole blog looks pretty nice, although it wasn't updated for a while.

Shoutout to the marketing ‘expert’ who mailed a large, battery-powered, LCD-equipped video greeting card to our CEO to demonstrate their innovative approach to ignoring the #ewaste crisis. Bold strategy.

We’ll be sure to reach out if we need help shipping steaks and leather handbags to PETA.

New breach: Hungarian education office website TehetségKapu had almost 55k records breached in March. Data included email address, name and username. 32% were already in @haveibeenpwned.

Hey Apple. Sort your fucking house out. I just got a notification summary that ‘Dad had another stroke’ when he hadn’t (he’s had a stroke before so there was a small reference in the message).
Naturally I shit my pants and tapped on the message straight away so wasn’t able to get a screen grab.

If you are interested in the multiple moving parts needed to get #mte support for #qemu's #gdbstub you might find my colleges blog post interesting: https://www.linaro.org/blog/adding-support-for-mte-debugging-to-qemu/ - fortunately #linaro's #upstream first development policy is well suited to tackling these sort of integrations.

@dey yeah I expect continued protection against Janet Jackson too!

30 April 1945 | As Soviet forces neared his command bunker in Berlin Adolf Hitler shot himself.

Hitler's Thousand Year Reich lasted twelve years, four months & eight days.

We need to commemorate all the victims & remember where ideologies of hatred may lead humanity to.

"Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company’s code was written by AI."

It can't be 30% by plain math. Just replacing 30% of existing code with new code takes (many) years, and then we include all produced code. If they ONLY used AI to write all code for the last few years, and they wrote it at a high pace, it could *perhaps* be done.

We all know that AI can't write code that good. But sure "up to 30%" could also mean "2%".

Of all *new* code perhaps? Still feels high.

@mttaggart I think the most revolutionary act many of us can do is help people to learn if they want to.

To make spaces where people can access learning.

Education is rapidly becoming a radical act to enable.
