The Missing 'S' Of Security

The modern art heist: stealing artwork while wearing a ski mask, but claiming it's for "AI training data" instead of your living room wall. Tech companies have mastered the art of rebranding theft as "machine learning research." Just slap "for AI purposes" on anything and suddenly you're not a criminal—you're an innovator disrupting the creative industry! The fine print is the cherry on top: "Theft is now legal if it creates shareholder value." Next up: "It's not breaking and entering if you're collecting spatial data for your VR startup."

The ultimate CAPTCHA troll for developers! This fake "Select all animals that lay eggs" challenge is pure evil because technically dinosaurs evolved into birds, so ALL these images should be selected. It's the perfect security trap - select none and you're wrong, select all and the system probably expects you to pick zero because they're "dinosaurs." The subtle genius is that it forces you to choose between biological accuracy and what the algorithm wants. Classic computer-human miscommunication that makes you question your entire CS degree.

The filesystem rebellion we never asked for! Unicode and special characters in filenames are the chaotic evil of computing. Remember those ancient days when filenames had to be 8.3 format and couldn't have spaces? Fast forward to now where someone's saving files as $6.14 receipt for bagel @ Bagel Bitc# 😋.pdf.jpg and filesystem engineers are quietly sobbing in the corner. The best part is that "CAPITAL I LOWERCASE L NUMBER 1" joke - because nothing says "I want to watch the world burn" like creating filenames specifically designed to be visually indistinguishable from each other. It's like the digital equivalent of replacing someone's sugar with salt. And that absurdly specific filepath to Abbey Road? Pure psychological warfare against sysadmins everywhere.

That moment when your computer treats you like a stranger in your own home. Nothing says "digital betrayal" quite like being denied access to folders you created on your machine because apparently Windows thinks you're some kind of digital peasant. Meanwhile, the System Admin account is living it up with VIP access to everything like it owns the place. The ultimate power move? Having to give yourself permission to access your own files. It's like needing to show ID to enter your own bathroom.

The pristine folder structure in the left panel is the stuff of developer fantasies! A beautifully organized project with logical entity relationships and clear naming conventions. Meanwhile, the actual JSON file on the right is a truncated mess with fields like "password" and "birthdate" just hanging out in plain text. Nothing says "technical debt" quite like storing sensitive user data without proper encryption or hashing. The real answer to "What's stopping your codebase from looking like this?" is probably three deadlines ago, five energy drinks, and that one PM who keeps saying "we'll refactor later."

Ah, the funeral for uBlock Origin, scheduled for July 2025. Firefox is there pointing at the tombstone like "you seeing this?" while Chrome stands nearby looking suspiciously guilty. Google's plan to kill ad blockers with Manifest V3 is basically sending flowers to its own revenue stream. Firefox users just sitting here with popcorn watching Chrome users discover what the internet looks like without ad blocking. It's like watching someone experience pop-up ads for the first time since 2005.
