been considering transitioning off of gmail but i just haven't started yet because it would be such a big Personal Project and halfassing it would make my life so much more annoying
i use vivaldi which uses the chrome engine but removes most of the shitty ai and google stuff, although i do have firefox installed for the random (non-google) website that somehow doesn't like it
theyre sneaky and discrete about it ofc and firefox usually eventually catches up, but there have definitely been reports in the past of like youtube being noticeably shittier on firefox bc they went ahead and added code that takes advantage of chrome-specific undocumented optimizations etc
because google actively makes it worse to use any website that uses their tools if you're not on chrome or a chrome derivative and making a useful web engine from scratch in 2026 is like making your own semiconductors from scratch
not writing code is a valid thing to consider bc every new line you add to a project increases the risk of things breaking and you don't understand why. but lol that people took this to mean "get a machine to write thousands of lines for you" instead of "don't overcomplicate things"
i bought a few of these as a kid but mostly for the artwork lol
now this is 10x engineer work
who turned down the draw distance
love the open source radical anarchy life
people in the original footwork scene have started using ai for album covers lately and it just looks so lame compared to the shitty photoshop collages they were doing back in the 00s
baby
it's because our entire economy is propped up by addiction
never doubt the depravity of sales and marketing
lmao
the hit rate for “deeply integrates LLMs into one’s workflow” and “develops an intensely warped perspective of their capabilities“ is really concerningly high.
i think maybe… generously 20% of the people i’ve seen talk about it at length manage to not turn into total Vessels for Slop.
it's comical that the youtube page for showing videos from your subscribed channels in most recent upload order no longer shows you videos from your subscribed channels in most recent upload order, even though it's still called "most recent"
i need a good way to reference the "computer please do what i tell you to do" "that's too hard. would you like this instead" post that doesn't take nearly as many words
online super monkey ball chained together night soon
you just need some money and discretion but if you don't yeah it's also more boring
my fiance went there to meet a friend once and he said it really is just las vegas with signs in a different language
Awesome bridge I saw yesterday
Do you care about things? The AI companies want to stop that. Their product, more than any other invention in human history, is training you to stare dead-eyed while a machine serves you a stream of mediocrity
Browser Super Monkey Ball now has online multiplayer!

the last year has just been all of us relearning that lib-coded cringe and performative virtue signaling is actually way better than cynical authentic nihilism and if you roll your eyes at this stuff you're ngmi
genx authenticity coomers btfo
