iTerm2’s leak issue was first discovered ten months ago. iTerm2’s creator initially reacted by adding an option to iTerm 3.0.13 that allowed users to disable DNS lookups. The feature remained turned on by default for new and existing installations.

You’re probably right. I have just lost patience and trust for software in general.

I’m afraid their character has been exposed

I uninstalled when they announced it but this week’s news says it’s time to uninstall macos too

fair shake. I never intended it as a shortened word, just a crypto word in itself. consider this my last use

need a meme image that represents the way Apple is legitimising openai after all the crypto degens were desperate for apple to legitimise nfts. the jealous hot mess rejected for another hot mess

for the sneerclub fans, this vid about MS Satoshi was pretty funny. All the Adam Something videos are entertaining for a couch sneer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv4H4trnssc

I maintain that people not having to work is a worst-case scenario for silicon valley VCs who rely on us being too fucking distracted by all their shit products to have time to think about whether we need their shit products

read that back and it’s a bit of an unreadable brain-dump. Apologies if it’s nonsense

I deleted a tweet yesterday about twitter finally allowing alt descriptions on images in 2022 - 25 years after they were added to the w3c spec (7 years before twitter existed) . But I added the point that OCR recommendations for screenshots of text has kinda always been possible, as long as they reliably detect that it’s a screenshot of text. But thinking about the politics of that overwhelmed me, hence the delete.

Like, I’m kinda sure they already OCR all the images uploaded for meta info, but the context problem would always be there from an accessibility POV.

My perspective is that without any assistance to people unaware of accessibility issues with images beyond “would you like to add an alt description” leaves the politics of it all between the people using twitter. I don’t really like seeing people being berated for not adding alt text to their image as if twitter is not the third-party that cultivated a community for 17 years without ALT descriptions, then they suddenly throw them out there and let us deal with it amongst ourselves.

Anyway… I will stick to what I know in future

I wanted to post this here so bad that I found another vulnerability in my weekday social media block out system to get on here.

“There should be a license you can lose when you write this kind of trash. That license, in this case, would be permission to use words like “intelligence” and “intuition” in a sentence for publication.”

thanks! I think I began saying that when I moved from digital marketing agencies to startups around 2011

oh that reminds me of Anthropic’s company values page where they call it “unusually high trust” to believe that their employees work there in “good faith”

I can’t imagine signing that - unless I was being paid a lot of money

just want to share my article from this week. It’s about products that account for their lack of usefulness with ease of use. Using the gpt-4oh as an example. https://fasterandworse.com/known-purpose-and-trusted-potential/

I’ve done UX on a few B2B SaaS things and the U meant CTO in most (sanctioned) cases

at rest, in transit, in plunder

they use it for their matrix screensavers

is it that easy to sell this shit to the average CTO?
