Reminder that I post to #Mastodon more than I do here. The greater character limit, the ability to edit posts if I make a mistake and the audience in general makes it a better experience for me than #Bluesky, so follow me there, 🙂

I guess this is what happens when 30% of your code base is AI generated.

Microsoft confirms PCs boot into BitLocker recovery after the latest Windows updates
This happened before, and it happened again: the latest Windows 10 and 11 updates trigger BitLocker recovery on boot.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

My wife and I were playing #VampireSurvivors together and something flaked with the network play and she got kicked and it gave me all of her items, so I ended up way more powerful than I should have been. I'm curious though, I bet Death can be killed, there are items past him on the map.

#VampireSurvivors is on sale on Steam so I decided to give it a shot. It's actually pretty fun. It starts getting "really" difficult around the 10 minute mark.

Removing obfuscation in Java Edition
For a long time, Java Edition has used obfuscation (hiding parts of the code) – a common practice in the gaming industry. Now we’re changing how we ship Minecraft: Java Edition to remove obfuscation completely. Find out more in this article!

All this guy does is fly around with his girlfriend on private jets, cover up the Epstein files, and take credit for the investigative work of field agents. And he even regularly fucks that up.
