computer apocalypse scenario everyone thinks is real: an app that pretends it's talking to you decides (?) to leave the computer (??) and destroys earth (?????) actual computer apocalypse scenario: it's PHP again

python and javascript deserve a special place in hell

Bruno Dies@brunodias.dev

oh yeah I utterly hate python. the fact that python "won" over perl is one of my many indicators that we live in hell. absolutely stupid language. if you're going to make a language where there's only one construct to do a given thing maybe pick constructs that aren't shit

yeah this rule change is going to be devastating. our cat's asthma inhaler is around $500 domestically, and around $100 ordering internationally.

We're now at two objective studies for the best use case anyone has for LLMs and both found it useless even for that. It's a scam. It has no use

All prisoners should have the right to vote while in prison

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social

Arguably the biggest democracy referendum next month: Virginia is one of only three states where the state constitution says people should lose their right to vote FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIFE if they are convicted of any felony. This measure would allow anyone to vote after prison.

When They say that the death of AI will "kill the Internet," they're wrong. It'll cut off the flow of algorithmic sewage. It'll cripple Meta, X, Google, and so on. Those of us who have our own web sites, who communicate independently? We'll be fine. Welcome to 1995. Here's your modem. Can't wait!

this messaging rework is nice nice, looking forward to rcs support later

GrapheneOS@grapheneos.org

The overhauled GrapheneOS Messaging app is available in our App Store via the Alpha channel. Our new app development team worked on this for months. It's now a far better app with much higher quality code. We'll make a new release based on feedback soon. bsky.app/profile/grap...

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

There’s an aggressively paid for influence op going on right now to defend AI slop as art and protected speech across platforms. AI execs realize they have a problem and don’t wanna get Marie Antoinette’d. The free ChatGPT trip is the tip of the iceberg. First person to nail it down gets a Pulitzer.

All you worthless wastes of skin have had TWO+ YEARS with these tools now. Go make something undeniable. Go make something people can't help but take notice of. You fucking can't, and honestly I don't think it's the "tools" I think you are all personally devoid of a soul.

The Purpose of human life is to invent a way to be able to slap someone through the computer and we are doomed to this purgatory of enshitification until we achieve it.

every time i order something and it's shipped via DHL, it takes a week longer than it said, then the shit gets marked delivered but it hasn't been, and then actually shows up days after *that* what the fuck are they doing at DHL

lauren@lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com

Shock: Oh no, they shipped DHL Denial: I got a USPS code so maybe it's not with DHL? Anger: DHL is gonna lose my shit again Bargaining: Does the DHL website seem better? Guilt: Buying local would have avoided DHL Depression: It's gone. It's gone. It's gone Acceptance: DHL app says Thursday now

fuck, this looks good

the connective tissue pain when starting climbing is so real

my real problem with climbing is that tendons are so slow to grow and heal. with any other exercise i can have a day off or MAYBE two days off then i'm fine to do it again. but climbing? two full days and even still i'm like "owwie my poor little weak arms 🥺👉👈" and it's FUCKED. my body betrays me!!!

New: I got footage of a cop in Florida who met a woman on a TV set then surveiled her for weeks, ran her license plate through a surveillance system, then stalked and pulled her over. One of the most egregious cases you’ll ever see: www.404media.co/footage-show...

Why do I like working for Vivaldi? This is what our CEO just said on a interview with @pcmag.com: “I really think that we have to fight for the web [and] for the kind of society we want to live in. [...] And in the meantime, before governments make those decisions, we can all vote with our feet.”

This "ai code/art is already everywhere and impossible to avoid so you should just relax about people using it" shit has to stop, it's not remotely true. Same exact shit as "it's the inevitable future!" or "you can't put the genie back in the bottle!!" We can literally do whatever the fuck we want
