A partner who is a heterosexual man and reaches middle age without ever being a bowfin cunt really is a lottery win

If anything happens to end it I'll just count my blessings and remain single from thereon out 🙏🏻

Wild to be reminded that English people call a piece and crisps a crisp sandwich

This is a valuable direction for developer learning too, for example the Raspberry Pi PRIMM model starts by having learners guess what the code is going to do

I don't have an hbo max subscription but I get some hbo max through now tv, but we use the hbo max app for tnt sports which I get through my mobile phone deal.. if I still had a full time job I think there's a zero percent chance I'd be able to keep track of this shit in my head

Conveyancing lawyers really are the aristocrats

Perhaps surprisingly there are significantly more unhinged replies here than the original post on masto, but it has me wondering what the situation would be if this stuff had just been introduced as "normal tech"

We had stuff like github copilot for a few years and folk just used it if they found it useful and didn't if they didn't.. But the "frontier" mob had to position it as this worker annihilating doomsday proposition, mandating ludicrous amounts of investment, resources, exploitation..

Get partner who does not use computers set up for a high stakes zoom call and the organiser messages at the last minute with a google meet link instead and tldr I need a holiday

Tech companies refusing to train folk to acquire the skills they need on is nothing new but the seemingly objective tone with which anthropic reports on their own behaviour is wild, accountability / liability management I guess but there's a level of nihilism in it that's.. strange

The protection racket strategy is real but I can't help wondering how much influence the rationalist cult aspect is having on this shit tbh

Secret third option of getting better at teaching it naturally remains off the table lol

Cause of death: loved ones doing shit on a phone that should only be done on a computer

It's wild how people can know opportunity is primarily determined by privilege but still struggle to shake the idea that people in positions of power must somehow be there in part because they know stuff lol, we need more and more tech documentaries to demonstrate that no, that's not the case

I've seen it in my own career, one (relatively short lived) job multiplying the opportunities I was getting because I'd been legitimised by a company folk rated for whatever reason, people are extremely susceptible to that kind of thinking

You wouldn't know her, she goes to another school etc

I like to see stuff about cancer and I like to see stuff about ai but I'm gonnae need a way to block posts that mention both because fuck sake

That is a venn diagram with a steaming pile of shit in the middle of it
