HBO is the brand to save - not Max. Admit it was a bad idea, own the mistake, and just be HBO.

If an OpenAI fork/release of Chromium allows adblockers and was something more like Brave but with deep ChatGPT integration, they might have something...

...and some of the worst drivers in the country.

I think the difference is that the source material in Sin City was also for adults. With the exception of quasi-canonical stuff like the Injustice games, ZSJL is much more violent than most of the original source material.

"Sadly Rails documentation doesn't warn you about this pitfall, but if you know anything at all about using SQL databases in web applications, you'd have heard of SQL injection, and it's not hard to come across warnings that find_by_sql method is not safe," Dmitry Borodaenko, a former production engineer at Facebook who brought the commit to my attention wrote in an email. "It is not 100% confirmed that this is the vulnerability that was used in the Gab data breach, but it definitely could have been, and this code change is reverted in the most recent commit that was present in their GitLab repository before they took it offline." Ironically, Fosco in 2012 warned fellow programmers to use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities.

So, this was the vulnerability, unless maybe it wasn't the vulnerability, because we don't know.

Also, Rails documentation absolutely does warn you about the ">pitfalls of using find_by_sql indiscriminately:

Ruby on Rails has a built-in filter for special SQL characters, which will escape ' , " , NULL character, and line breaks. Using Model.find(id) or Model.find_by_some thing(something) automatically applies this countermeasure. But in SQL fragments, especially in conditions fragments (where("...")), the connection.execute() or Model.find_by_sql() methods, it has to be applied manually.

Thank you, Microsoft. Better late than never.

...if it doesn't say Binford on it, somebody else makes it."

Law Enforcement to "criminal" : Well we broke in cos' your civil rights weren't very strong. You were asking for it.

I tried Fedora but I gave up on it when it repeatedly kernel-panicked on me. Wasn't fair, though - I was attempting to run it on a Sony laptop and Sony is notoriously Linux-unfriendly.

Bluestar is my first experience with Arch-based Linux. So far, so good...

Never bothered with Twitter. Seems like a great way to give everyone microstatus, but not useful for much else.

Flashback to 2003.

I can't believe that 15 years later this lawsuit lumbers on.

How many tens of millions of dollars (hundreds of milions?) have both sides spent on this lawsuit?

And even then it'd end up being called "Plasticky McPlasticface"...

You don't classify telling police that there's an armed murderer in a house as "Inherently dangerous"? Do you not read the news or something?
