A piece I've been working on last week: a young wyvern. The fur pattern is inspired by aardwolves.

Imagine waking up and finding out that things have changed quite a bit....

A different piece compared to my usual art. I started it one year ago, but stopped because I wasn't quite up to it yet. Now I was.

Here's the I promised. wvrnMlem

I'm a software developer in the physical realm, and a fluffy wyvern who draws vector art in the online realm. Chances are you have at least seen some of my emojis before.

I attached some of my art, but if you want to see all of it, go to

The account date may suggest otherwise, but I've been on the fediverse for about 5 years now. I just have a tendency to try new servers and lose my history in the process.

I also have a separate account for all sorts of posts I don't want to put on here, such as writing experiments or personal topics:

I wonder how AI agents would even be doable if security was properly taken care of. You don't want them to fuck up your system, so you put them in a sandbox. You don't want them to install malicious packages in your project so you... don't allow them to install any? Ask the user? At that point, what's the point of agents if the user needs to intervene all the time? It wouldn't even lead to solid security because most people just respond to such prompts with "continue and leave me alone" without spending a single second to check what it's about to do.

@fuchsiii @puppygirlhornypost2 Insiders should be the same, I think. You can still update an extension immediately with the 'Update' button after all, so those who want to YOLO can still do it areonNComfy

Note: This delay does not apply to extensions from trusted publishers such as Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI. These extensions continue to update immediately.

VS Code Adds 2-Hour Extension Auto-Update Delay to Limit Supply Chain Attacks
How will attacks be found in these two hours if the people who may notice will get the update later, like anyone else? "But Volpeon, this gives Microsoft time to find these attacks" Okay, why not switch to an approval model then? woozy_baa

I just can't fathom the thought process. Like sure, sometimes it can be annoying to check the data. But this pales in comparison to code that assumes the happy path and then fails at runtime.

Me: makes type of user-provided data unknown
What I expect in response: appropriate checks to make sure the data is what we expect
What I get:
const something = userData.something as OldType;

I find it exhausting how some people think that if a stricter type uncovers potential problems, they need to trick the type checker into accepting the unsafe code instead of fixing the code so the problem doesn't exist.
