I wonder what I do differently. I never see a Cloudflare page - completely forgot that was a thing. It’s been years since I’ve seen one.

the internet has become a psychotic corridor of mirrors. where truth and fiction, humans and bots, propagand and anecdata can no longer be told apart. what am i still doing here?

That made me wonder, honestly, if AI can build it, could AI manage it too?

Wait, I just deleted prod. You're absolutely right, that shouldn't have happened. My mistake.

That is not true. Half or more of us are disgusted. His supporters will say it’s just his bluster and didn’t expect him to follow through. It’s sickening.

I stick with Nate Silver on how to weight and average the polls.

53.8% disapproval

38% approval, roughly the same percentage of people who will support anything Trump does.

I LOVED Partition Magic. It really was magic!

It was pretty important at the time to make room for dual-booting Linux. Linux setup tools couldn't do it back then, particularly shrinking FAT let alone NTFS filesystems. PartitionMagic made it super easy. It felt slightly wrong to need a Windows software to install Linux, but great tool.

I joined the startup making PartitionMagic after I saw a prototype. I had just wasted another half day repartitioning my 80MB hard drive so I could dual boot OS/2 while working at Novell.

They got me - with age enforcement in the OS I figured it was the next step. Bad joke in my opinion.

And on users that don’t even use github, other than the required account to use CoPilot in Visual Studio.

Exactly.

This affects anyone using VS Code or Copilot with proprietary data, including all the users automating workflows through the Copilot SDK and the like. A perfect storm.

Did anyone from GitHub's legal team actually authorise this, or did they use Copilot to sign off on it?

I thought that’s more what the CoPilot change is really about - not your repo, but all the code CoPilot read while it is offering helpful completions, etc - so literally the code on your laptop. I cancelled my account.

Now THIS is what the Internet was supposed to be about! :)

Well put. And that last 10% was always the hardest part, and now it’s almost impossible because emotionally you’re even less prepared for the slog ahead.
