I swear, every time this guy is in the headlines it’s for increasingly stupid noob security mistakes.

I’m expecting a headline in a few days saying “Mike Waltz falls victim to Nigerian Prince email scams on a daily basis.”

The remarkably calm kid near the top of the painting who is being eaten by two dragons: “Well, I guess this is my life now. Oh well.”

In a sea of bad news this is a much-needed buoy of hope. Great job Wisconsin voters for standing up against corruption!

Newsmax should just rebrand themselves as a meme coin, so they can go full circle. They are a joke already.

He’s the physical embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect. A walking, (awkwardly) talking nepo-baby man-child who is a self-proclaimed expert in everything despite knowing next to fuck all. He and Trump are like peas in a pod.

Musk has a very different definition of ‘evil’ than I and many others do.

One of the few campaign promises he actually kept. But yes, it was obvious to anyone with half a brain that this administration would gut social security. So you get what you deserve.

The people I feel bad for are the minority of voters who actually saw this coming and didn’t vote for him. They are stuck in this horrible situation because of all the stupid dipshits who are getting their faces eaten by leopards right now.

Oh yeah, good point!

That’s a more viable solution than replacing most software engineers, honestly.

The sad thing is they know the large majority of users will comply. Most people put familiarity and convenience above their own privacy and general well-being.

Pair programming with Grok.

Spotty DOGE intern developer: “what’s a for loop?”

Grok: “Look it up yourself, noob! Holy shit do I hate Elon Musk in every fucking way!”

Damn, that’s crazy.

Sounds like it’s time to find a new bank.

Edit: Although with these changes I wouldn’t be surprised if as bunch of banks start preventing people from turning it off. Credit unions might be a bit better though.

Ah yes, a classic tale…

“We’re going to take this perfectly efficient and functional COBOL code base and rewrite it in Java! And we’ll do it in a few months!”

So many more competent people and organizations than them have already tried this and spectacularly crashed and burned. There are literal case studies on these types of failed endeavors.

I bet they’ll do it in Waterfall too.

It’s interesting. If they use Grok, this could well be the deathknell for vibe programming (at least for now). It’s just fucking tragic that their hubris will cause grief and pain to so many Americans - and cost the lives of more than a few.

Edit: Fixed some typos.

So who exactly is downloading the app as a result of this latest government scandal? I’m going to guess it’s the maga crowd because they are this as an endorsement from their new king. But hopefully I’m wrong and it’s a broad sweep of different users from across the political spectrum.

It’s really unfortunate. Most banks and credit unions turn on overdraft protection by default. And many of them make it difficult to turn it off (burying it in online app/site menus, requiring people to call in or go into a branch to deactivate it, etc.). They do this because overdraft fees are a massive source of profit for them.

But it’s pretty easy for people to get trapped in a vicious cycle of debt due to these fees. Most people don’t know they can turn these off, and some don’t even realize they are in place to begin with.

Fire tons of real scientists, and hire a quack. So much efficiency!

Digital vampirism

I like this phrase. It distills down what the article is getting across perfectly.

It went away… like a miracle!

Using an Ouija board to write even a short story sounds like an agonizingly tedious endeavor.
