Saw this yesterday, instead of Atlanta building a new airport that could take away Delta’s dominance, the CEO suggests vertibirds for shuttling people to the airport. This totally ignores the fact that the public transit MARTA goes directly to the airport
- Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 1 week ago:
Get ready for:
clicks hyperlink
Entire page is scraped and sent to copilot LLM to be processed. This causes a 1.5 second delay
Then after you get passed the cookies popup and promo popup, the whole page shifts and gets injected with copilot summarizations right as you were about to click on something else.
Work forces me to use edge, this’ll be fun

Oh gotcha, a simple head unit
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 2 weeks ago:
At this point it should just be a USB-C or bluetooth connection so the device without the bargain basement processor can do the heavy lifting for a user interface.
But that’s what car play and android auto are
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 3 weeks ago:
Hah I just upgraded to that setup at the beginning of the year from a 2017 ryzen 1700 and GTX 1080 build.
It increased the longevity of this system by so much

God, sometimes I might as well say frag out! when eating corn. Blows me tf up
- Comment on Fun/interesting things to self host? 5 weeks ago:
If you have a Nvidia graphics card 1070 and above, then openwebui. You can selfhost your own LLM. AMD is probably supported but haven’t checked.
- Comment on The Secret Service traced swatting threats against officials. They found 300 servers capable of crippling New York’s cell system 3 months ago:
I’ve seen too many articles saying China/Russia is balls deep in our infrastructure to believe we’ll have any reliable communication if WW3 breaks out.
- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 4 months ago:
Been vibe coding hard for a new project this past week. It’s been working really well but I feel like I watched a bunch of TV. Like it’s passive enough like I’m flipping through channel, paying a little attention and then going to the next.
Where as coding it myself would engage my brain and it might feel like reading.
It’s bizarre because I’ve never had this experience before.
- Comment on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC’s Tech Scene Is Not 4 months ago:
Alt-right writer that has dreams of replacing the role of president with the powers of a CEO or King. The media has been helping him rise in influence otherwise he’s a crackpot
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 5 months ago:
Yeah before all this if you told me “MasterCard is selling incest and rape games!” I would have said no, Steam is doing that. But now I feel like they want to have a heavier hand.
Ultimately I think it’s pressure from the Trump admin/project 2025 on companies to eventually make porn illegal
- Comment on Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off 5 months ago:
I think a part of it is you have to be weird to want to chase power. Normal people aren’t thinking 24/7 about how they can leap frog their way into power
- Comment on It bothers me when cat memes refer to the pictured cat as "he," but I can tell from its coat pattern that it's female. I may know too much about cats. 5 months ago:
I have a female orange as well. She has floating patellas and walks funky. Does yours have something similar?

There’s a bunch of MBAs cracking their whips yelling “SPEED TO MARKET!”

Recently heard that cup of Joe comes from the Navy. The guy that banned alcohol on Navy ships and replaced them with coffee was named Joe.
- Comment on Salt Lake City, plans to implement AI-assisted 911 call triaging to handle ~30% of about 450K non-emergency calls per year 6 months ago:
They should just spend that money on an ad campaign for the non emergency line
- Comment on Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis 7 months ago:
The article says they’re detecting DNA shedding of genetic mutations. I think one example of this could be cancer caused by HPV should shed DNA that they could identify.
It’s probably different but that’s what I’m thinking from that line
- Comment on Every toddler becomes a hackerman when they find a tablet 7 months ago:
Aesthetics and tradition I’d say. Maybe there’ll be a generation that couldn’t care less about tying and there’s a big flip.
And then their kids have a hipster revival of laces and yearn for a nostalgic time they never lived in while saying they were born in the wrong generation lmao

My wife is bottomless with a shirt these days. Calls it Pooh bear
- Comment on 8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs 8 months ago:
Is this why all their stuff is cheap? They’re clearing stock?
- Comment on Fully self-hosted password manager options 8 months ago:
Vaultwarden over tailscale has been good to me.
I do have a qualm with how easy it is to accidentally close bitwarden before saving a password and losing the password you just generated. But that’s just taught me to not zip through the process
- Comment on Selfhosted podcast has announced that episode 150 is their last. 8 months ago:
Ah just another reminder as I get older and that all good things must come to an end.
Some people hate on them but they didn’t have to make this show. It definitely spurred conversations and projects to be better rather than some corporate overlords saying use our ecosystem.
Definitely gonna miss it and guess I’ll check out Linux unplugged every now and then
