yes and yes and yes, except:

Cron jobs are nice and simple to create.

So are systemd timers. Seriously. I understood this sort of argument in the years when systemd was relatively new, but nowadays … c’mon, it’s 2 config files in a very simple (the simplest form is just 2 headings with one variable definition each) and common format and (optionally) one command to reload the daemon.

Maybe adding a line to your list of cron jobs is slightly quicker, but you have none of the things systemd offers on top.

OK, tbf I don’t know how much (ana)cron provides. Cleaning up the process tree? Restart conditions? Avoiding service duplicates? Advanced starting & repeating like “5min after boot” or “only after this other service has succeeded”? Can it read abbreviations like ‘daily’ or does it all need to be in that cryptic cron syntax?

Kinda agree; I’m surprised how often people use & recommend cron jobs even on systems that have been using systemd for a decade.

AOTUS

Hmm. A and P are at opposite ends of most keyboards. Not a typo then?

Ass of the United States?

Trumplethinskin

I think I love your writing.

Not sure he’s qualified to talk about decency. But it goes to show - even the evil fuckers liked this evil fucker even less.

as well as women who are not public figures, such as female individuals who attended his Texas high school

So not just a grift but a personal vendetta, too? What an arsehole.

Thank you. Also jobs. Nobody goes out protesting because Claude can’t vibe code. This is the government creating FUD against political opponents, again.

Thanks for explaining, I couldn’t parse the headline. It seems so obvious now you did.

Ah never mind me, mumbling…

“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”

He promised!

Seriously though, does he think that a) only Bezos of all multibillionaires gets taxed double and b) that wouldn’t go along with social policy?

What a dumb wacko, high on sniffing his own farts. Probably partly due to a fawning interviewer.

And he loves it! In another article (possibly about the same interview) he praised Trump for being so much more assertive in his second term.

edit: oh, you meant actual Mussolini, not Mango Mussolini 😳

The way I’m reading the article, this is mostly a Github thing:

The malware allows TeamPCP’s hackers to steal credentials (on github) that let them publish malicious versions of those software development tools, too (on github). The cycle repeats, and TeamPCP’s collection of breached networks grows.

The one Microsoft itself fell victim to recently, with their faltering github platform?

Who’d’a thought an obvious grift like that doesn’t care about digital privacy/security.

Put it on the pile.

I love this, read the whole article, but I still feel underwhelmed.

I have a ton of older hardware lying around, all running Linux and perfectly capable to perform the tasks outlined. Incl. a Nokia N900 that can be ssh’d into etc. It’s of similar size AND has a keyboard. Granted, that one does not have an ethernet port but the others do.

And we all know how easy it is to buy an ARM board, install Linux and add all the ethernet ports one desires.

So, apart from the really nice form factor, why this one above all these options?

“It was kinda fun. I met people I would never have met otherwise.”

Amazing

Researchers tested how the services ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Grok and Replika performed on a single day during the 2026 Scottish pre-election window and found:

• One third (34.1%) of responses across chatbots contained factual errors, whilst reliability varied significantly across services
• Errors included getting the date of election day wrong, giving wrong information about the need for voters to bring ID, “hallucinating” a candidate, and making up an expenses scandal on one occasion, and a nepotism scandal on another.

We reveal new evidence of the scale of these services’ unreliability during elections and make recommendations for the government to close the regulatory gap.

The last bit is the most important imo: Chatbots must not be allowed to present themselves as providers of information. Nor should any commercial/official body be allowed to rely on them.

Hijacked how, though?

Shouldn’t 2FA be enough to prevent such things?

Relatable. At first glance.

edit: until you read on about what this person is really about

I think you figured out what’s going on in these people’s brains: they think they bought a legit spy car.

It is, in fact, too stupid to believe anything Me-lon says.

And we will live on Mars by the end of this decade!
