steadily removing defeatism and doomerism out of my life. life is too short to be whining about how everything is fucked and nothing can be done about it.

why the fuck is the connect four post at 4.7k likes

wtf man

the Internet Archive thing is an example of the fascinating trend recently where people consuming products they’re not paying for seem to believe they also have the right to dictate how much human labor is spent producing them.

starting to see some unironic PHP defence and: none of that, please it is an objectively bad language that was designed wrong from day one. yes, recent versions have improved it. just like C, though, it is all living legacy code that should be phased out

"IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever." "IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever."

is it bad that i've never heard of lobste.rs before? should i have known about it?

this also applies to elaborate torture fantasies of LLMs. highly unpleasant! i'd probably avoid interaction at any cost!

404 media sucks ass, dogpiling a trans woman with their official social media account, wtf

the gamer entitlement is fucking insane. they're yelling at a developer who has spent a decade of his time writing Dolphin and PPSSPP for using Claude to build a prototype. the same people who don't pay for their emulator, certainly don't pay for ROMs are entitled to bully developers now?

for the love of god something needs to be done about the g*za fundraising scam accounts on bluesky. i don't post that much but like 50% of my posts gets a repost by such an account. earlier today i even got a dm request of a scam account

maybe it's just my perception but if someone had defended copyright like this 10 years ago, people would have made fun of them. rightfully so.

This is a transistor. It controls current between the collector and the emitter. It's a fancy dimmer switch. There is nothing this device can do that you couldn't already do with a bunch of dimmer switches. No matter how fast they are or how much Bell Labs hypes them, it's just a dimmer switch.

ed zitron lies to people for money, yes

removed almost all my blocks because i figured i'm too liberal with the block button but some responses to bsky38 reeeaaally make me wanna block half of the website again

The copy on this page is one "Thank you for your attention to this matter" and some all-caps screaming away from reading like a POTUS Truth Social post

the anti anti ai labeler really is a godsent, it also highly correlates with people who just post stupid takes in general, outside of ai

how accurate have ed zitron's predictions been? danluu.com/zitron/

sure, no "real" feelings are being hurt when calling an LLM "clanker", "wireback" or "tinskin" or whatever, but if you see no issue at all casually using terms that are so obviously made to look and sound like actual slurs used against actual people, you are probably a pretty unpleasant person

how exactly do you miss that you included a command named 'rootshell' in your distro that gave instant unauthorized root access for all users how does this even happen *why* would it even exist

owning the evil scrapers (how dare they download my public website on the public web) by making the site just unusable for everyone
