Appreciate the people crunching numbers on this.

The outrage over personal LLM energy usage seems overblown. Especially for the number of queries most of us run (<1000 / month?)

Picking any other climate soap box is a better use of outrage: driving cars, eating meat, green energy providers, etc.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.

You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

That is all.

Very useful overview of possible considerations for using generative AI. Couldn’t have worded it better.

idk what an outie is and at this point im too afraid to ask

your outie still doesn’t understand how the CSS cascade works and covers it up by just using tailwind

Friendly reminder that β€œremote work” and β€œwork from home” are not synonyms!

You *can* work from home as a remote worker, but you don’t have to. Remote work is all about picking the right work environment for you. Might be a coffee shop, a home office, a library, or a rented office!

An important point to keep in mind.

Agreed!

So many of the technical blog posts I see have random stock photos or AI-generated images, and it sorta makes the whole blog feel generic and cheap.

You don’t need a cover image. My blog doesn’t use cover images.

I think the theft commited by AI companies in recent year is far greater crime than a college student reading a couple of books on their kindle

I agree, food and shelter shouldn’t only exist for those who can afford it!

I would advocate to use services that provide it first like a library or food bank, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.

Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Ultrakill dev says it's fine to pirate his game if you don't have money to spare: 'Culture shouldn't exist only for those who can afford it' Spreading the word about a game you pirated and enjoyed is "at worst an equal trade," Hakita says.

The sad part is that they might be right - but they think that is a good thing and not a great cultural loss we should fight against
