@khalidabuhakmeh, any idea what you'll get next? In case you're considering a new VW, you might want to order now (looking like ours will take at least six months for delivery).

@shawnwildermuth, the state of the cable on the left aside, I'm no EE, but I know just enough to get really annoyed whenever I see cables like this without strain relief.

@b4ux1t3, currently on Ohio-Link (40557). But I just enabled DMR2YSF today, so I haven't tried much yet on Fusion. However, I got a recommendation to check out AmeriNet (31022) and America-Link (32592).

@anneapplebaum this is the best joke I've seen about the situation so far.

A picture of Elon Musk with Donal Trump. The caption reads: Maybe it's just me, but Republicans having two daddies seems kind of woke

"Software vulnerability submissions generated by AI models have ushered in a 'new era of slop security reports for open source' – and the devs maintaining these projects wish bug hunters would rely less on results produced by machine learning assistants."
