plenty can be said of this, but imo above all else: reddit government

one of my favorite features of a city

you want to go in on one with me

I'm about to start manufacturing computer components in my back yard

correction: when the cool kids talk about "Uncle Ted", they are NOT referring to Ted Nelson – inventor of hypertext and founder of Project Xanadu.

also now that I think about it 2 is also crazy because you could go from windows to a distro that uses the most bloated slow poorly maintained DE and it would still be like 100x faster than windows inherently because it's not sending your eyeball movements directly to bill gates's phone

1 is always crazy because I feel like I experience bugs in windows or mac without trying lol

symbolic links my beloved

shaking user stories off of me as though I'm covered in insects

(except the context was more that I was working for a more old school enterprise OOP software company who was trying to get skilled up in web development, so I got to be the hot shot 24 year old telling 50 year old career java programmers what a REST API and the DOM were)

my first job out of college they let me do this until I got a little too wacky with it and someone asked me how one of my presentations was relevant to our job lmao

for some reason, for a brief fleeting split second I thought you meant the python tool

feel this way a lot about the way people play video games

Go isn’t perfect but it’s like a dream compared to python…..

I have several coworkers who speak english as a second language and will use gemini to make their messages sound more natural. which is extremely grim in its own right

avoiding the superintelligence takeover by simply prompting the AI to not do any of that shit

"we taught an LLM about the business context that most code is written in and it killed itself"

hate when I set up a new service on my home server and it's like "yeah just set up a postgres database for this." surely you don't need all that

it also kind of looks like it doesn't know what it wants to do

love when somebody makes a big deal out of being a christian on their social media profile like oh how original never heard that one before

personally I just don’t think you should take what a tech CEO says at face value

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪

lmao I was indeed considering that, mostly because I feel like I don't have a great grasp on how these tools actually work. although I did look into it and it does seem like it's rather involved

this is to say that I envy you because you are simply more free than I am

a few weeks ago I was brainstorming implementing such a project myself and I was raking my brain for an interesting name, both short and appropriate, but because I have an education in The Classics I have a complex where I have to name everything some shit like "apollo"

what a deep cut

longboy

Part of what makes Threads such an overwhelmingly devastating piece of art, why it’s haunted me since I saw it like 20 years ago and why it haunts everyone the same way, is that there is no hope. None. If the bomb drops, there is only brutality and suffering and death, and no hope

That’s the POINT

the fact that so many pretend every american awards and halftime show is a dagger in the very heart of Empire is terribly, awfully embarrassing. it’s like we’re in Bush’s seventh term
