"I don't like any of the rat-bastards." "I don't care." "I think it's funnier to draw a dick. (And I don't care.)" "I trust other people to make the right choice." "I refuse to participate in this bourgeois sham election." ...are all reasons I've heard, even if I don't actually understand any of them.

The implication is that the users that are being constantly presented with CAPTCHAs are experiencing that because they are unwittingly proxying scrapers through their devices via malicious apps they've installed.

.. or that other people on their network/Shared public IP have installed

or just that they don't run windows/mac OS with chome like everyone else and it's "suspicious". I get cloudflare capchas all the time with firefox on linux... (and I'm pretty sure there's no such app in my home network!)

Worth noting that, neat and tidy migration path aside, context receivers are deprecated[1].

I'm reliably informed they do it for free.

Vibe coding is not using a chat interface to explore an unfamiliar domain like GP describes, it's letting an agent tool like Cursor or Goose do most of the work semi-independently.


Vibe coding is not looking at the code, essentially. See what Simon Willison has written about it (the original term was coined[0] by Andrej Karpathy): https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/19/vibe-coding/

> Bad actors acting in bad faith, causing damage? Totally fine.

Who in this thread is saying this is totally fine?


Cloudflare, apparently.


The comment I responded to. I take it to be musing from the bailey.

Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.

I'm just a person who keeps hearing, from every direction, "Won't someone please think of the assholes?"

Edit: My comment above used to say what was quoted. I changed it to be more precise about my issue with the comment I replied to.


> vista based server products are terrible.

The first generation of tabletised 8/Metro interfaces made me audibly groan every time I had to RDP into machines running 2012.


The stuttering over RDP when the start menu animation tried to slide in the tiles was amazing.


Oh yes. I still have a client that has 2012 and it physically hurts to use


Not to the same degree that Python does (then again no other general-purpose language does!), but it does have the start of one and it's fairly cohesive.

Fortran? R? C? C++? Even Java may occasionally make a good showing here (depending on what you are doing).

Having seen... things... unless it's written by people with the right skillset (and with funding and the right environment), that it exists doesn't mean you should use it (and the phrase "it's a trap" comes to mind sadly). https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/a/10923/1437 applies (and note I still wouldn't call Julia mainstream yet), so while I'm not saying people shouldn't try, the phrase "don't roll your own crypto" applies just as much to the numeric and scientific computing fields.


> does that mean they have a ton of users following an unreasonable number of people

They do, there are groups of users on bluesky who follow inordinate numbers of other accounts to try and get follows back.


I believe the issue with CNTs and asbestos is that once they're in your lungs, your body won't be able to break it down. This is literally made of flour.


I assume it's orders of magnitude better than asbestos obviously, since flour is organic and decomposes, but it still doesn't seem great. If the particulate is this small, it can probably get pretty deep into your lungs and just sit there for a while. I'm no expert, but I don't know what would decompose flour in your lungs, especially if it's going to get deeper being so light and tiny.

Like it's not asbestos, but it's also not air. So maybe nanopasta comes with an MSDS binder.


Bakers have been around for a long time w/ plenty of exposure to airborne flour. I wonder if they tend to have lung issues like similar trades do.


This.

Asbestos is like having glass shards that are so sharp they keep damaging cells and never go away. Constant cellular repair statistically results in cancer.
