not sure why this is flagged, the accidental omission of “game” devs can’t be it. it’s extremely true that game devs either use perforce, or they’re trying to use SVN because their company is cheap… perforce is strictly superior to SVN and

as an aside, I have a shimano e-bike and a bosch one, and the bosch one is leagues superior. Which feels weird when you consider the pedigree of shimano, but it makes sense when you think what kind of internals an ebike motor would need..

the part where you claim they could “prevent this”, and imply it would be trivial. Generative AI, famously, has difficult guardrails and there are constant “jailbreaks”. I guess you mean that they could have been overzealous with the preven

Tumblr also permitted some more risqué content. Yet we (rightly) condemned those that used this leniency to do nefarious things. I'm really ready to get on the Elon hate train, and I will grant you that there was a problem that needs f

Escape from docker containers is trivially easy, if you are able to run as the root user in the container itself. Many (maybe most) containers actually default to running programs as root. Kernel exploit not required.

Usually if you’re using a NAS you don’t want to lose data, ZFS is not significantly more sensitive than everything else. But everything is actually quite sensitive. We’ve accepted lack of ECC because Intel decided it would be a product line
