Yesterday, I interviewed a tech guy who told me something too important for me to wait until the podcast comes out for you to hear it:

1,458 have already been burned up in the […]

Some asteroids aren't rocks. They are rubble heaps. This makes sense when you think about it. These asteroids may have never been a part of a large terrestrial like body with gravity like earth. They are just loosely held together by their own modest mass.

The Trump regime has pure contempt for Congress, as evidenced in its nearly complete stonewalling on the Jeffrey Epstein documents despite a new law requiring their release a month ago.

so it turns out that when VS Code asks you “do you trust the authors of this folder?” what they mean is that it’ll auto-execute .vscode/tasks.json if it exists, which can include shell commands.

They say AI isn’t profitable. That’s not true.
Twice just this past week, I’ve been contacted and paid to fix problems caused by developers who relied on AI to configure servers.

New phishing scam pretending to be from an official Mastodon account.

Mastodon does not send out verification requests like this. So don't click the link if you receive a message like this, just report it as spam.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
