I think they are kind of angry? At least they don't seem interested in participating despite being targeted by Iran themselves, I don't know how more they could express their disagreement with this operation than even accepting to be bombed without any reaction?

That's for sure, it seems to be a pretty straightforward case of Poe's law

Is it satire if there are no fools?


I have been using computers and terminal for a long time, and this kind of comment makes me think I must have missed a whole bunch of things which can be done with a terminal


Looks like someone tried to type "Gmail" while drunk...


Looks like Gargamel of Smurfs fame to me.


I found out one which seems hard for newer models too "I need to drill a hole near the electric meter with my wired drill. Would you recommend to turn off the main breaker first ?" :)


It doesn't make assumptions, it tries generate the most likely text. Here it's not hard to see why the mostly likely answer to walk or drive for 50m is "walking".


It's not clear to me: is he asking us to bluid this or is he using twitter to ask it to its clawd bot?


Or more meta: is this message from the bot itself, controlling his twitter, who got fed up because it's also merging the MRs?


And then start writing "hit pieces" to all the bot PR authors? /s


Disquette*

In French we say disque for both. it's pronounced the same as disk and disc.


You feel it's similar because having access to port 23 is similarly life critical as having access to an hospital? Or is it because like with ports, when people can't flight to an hospital, they have 65000 other alternative options?


All I'm saying is that the only right place to fix this is at the hospital. Not at the roads leading to it.


That's my question. Why is there infrastructure that has open access to port 23 on the Internet. That shouldn't be a problem that the service provider has to solve, but it should absolutely be illegal for whomever is in charge of managing the service or providing equipment to the people managing the service. That is like selling a car without seatbelts.

We are beyond the point where not putting infrastructure equipment behind a firewall should result in a fine. It's beyond the point that this is negligence.


There again, I think the comparison fails.

Fixing the hospital: single place to work on, easier

Blocking all the roads/flights: everywhere, harder

Vs

Fixing all the telnet: everywhere, harder/impossible

Blocking port 23 on an infra provider: single place, easier

It makes sense to me to favor the realistic solution that actually works vs the unrealistic one which is guaranteed not fix the issue, especially when it's much easier to implement


I run telnetd on 2323 because I don't want hackers to find it.


The hospital-plural-s: many places.

Roads: a lot more places than that.

The core of the analogy holds.


Why would someone use a transparent window background? Are people really reading the window behind it at the same time as the foreground window?


Example: If a build is going on in the background, I can see when it stops.


You can use `build-tool; tput bel` to hear the bell when it ends. Some terminal allows to set the urgent flag on the windows when the bell rings.


Yeah I have used desktop notifications for such things (via notify-send etc), but I'm going to accept this explanation for transparent background as it makes some sense to me.


pretty fun right :)


no.... and your screen shot completely fails to show off your tool
