I use a unique password for my @Zoom account. Yet they claim I have to reset my password cos they found it compromised elsewhere. This can only mean 1) @zoom was compromised 2) they are bullshitting and it’s security theatre.

For the past week or two I've been using ChatGPT to generate sexy stories. It's amazing and I'm hooked. It's the thing that I think about the most every day. I think I have an AI porn addiction.

Terrible new @instagram update that keeps the profile information always visible. Leaving no space for the things that actually matter when browsing an account. Ugh.

LinkedIn CEO @ryros: "Pre-pandemic, ~1% of all jobs posted on LinkedIn were remote. As of today, that number is ~14%...but that's not the fascinating part. What's fascinating is north of 50% of all job applications on a daily basis on LinkedIn go to that 14% of remote jobs" $MSFT

Had a HDD fail, @Hetzner_Online replaced it in sub 30 minutes. I think that’s faster than Azure sometimes take to boot a new instance.

Is it really that much to add for “go get” to not just hang for 20 minutes with no ability to get any logs or anything out of it? Go modules continue to be a massive own-goal even after years.
