Uh huh. Yeah okay.
We’ve had enough projection for a lifetime this decade.

Remember r/reddit ?
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 2 days ago:
Reddit removed every comment he had ever made, including wonderful and well cited rebuttals of the right-wing bigotry of the day.
Probably more of the motivation than the listed offense.
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 week ago:
If you really want a community to take off, you have to basically schedule yourself to make content there.
The lessons from every group I’ve grown (and haven’t) is that consistency is key. You have to develop the habit in other people, and it might take a long time to start.
If you want to be a Twitch streamer, for instance, you have to do it at the same time every day.

Kind of. I don’t think the Internet will ever return to the heyday of Reddit.
Once governments and groups recognized that social media actually does move public opinion, that was the end of good, anonymous social media.
The ways to bring some of that back aren’t great. A community where everyone’s verified is much better, but it’ll be quite different from the Reddit days where you’d have (usually real) ridiculous subject matter experts chiming in on random threads.
You don’t get that with a small, verified population. And when you don’t have verification, well forever now have effectively psyops intending to influence you.
- Comment on How do I not kill my Iomega ZIP drive I just got? (The experiences I've heard of scare me) 1 week ago:
There was a day in 2003 when literally everyone who had touched a computer applauded without knowing why.
It was the day Iomega stopped producing zip drives because they were finally obsolete.

Good luck with the timing. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

That might be true. But it’s important to note that we want the world to be more kind to everyone, and not universally unforgiving.

That old autocomplete is great. It’s specifically the AI autocomplete that’s less useful.

Wow, well it’s absolutely terrible at A. B is worth a shot, but it’s 50/50 to bullshit you in my experience.
- Comment on Microsoft says Copilot will 'finish your code before you finish your coffee' adding fuel to the Windows 11 AI controversy that's still raging 2 weeks ago:
Eh, I’ve enjoyed writing a SQL query and having AI translate it to Linq. I’ve had at least one work directly, very clear on what it’s doing, just with Linq’s odd syntax. The other query was more complicated and wasn’t something that translated well to Linq. I may have had to split that into two Linq queries.
Then again, I wouldn’t count translating psuedocode (or SQL) as really vibe coding. To me “vibe coding” means you’re not really looking at the code it produces.

Yeah, I just wrote a blog post comment about how I enjoy using Copilot. But that’s when I explicitly ask it a question or give it a task. The auto complete is wrong more often than it’s right.
Probably doesn’t help that if it was tedious, boilerplate code I would have already explicitly asked it.

Which is just as risky as instantly updating unless you’re really closely keeping an eye on which updates are security related.

Thank you!
- Comment on Watch me go Reddit 3 weeks ago:
Your real concern should be that Spez gets to censor what you’re reading in a real way.
Not only does he get to remove stuff that counters his narrative, he also can allow certain types of narratives to flood the site.
Editorial control is huge, and giving that to Spez seems insane to me. That, along with Facebook, 4chan, and every other social media is certainly how we got a shitty president who was basically nobody relevant until 2015.

We should extend it more. Maybe an extra two months on each end.

I was unsure and checked the rules there.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
You should make a Roku community on Lemmy if there isn’t one already and post the fix there. Yeah, maybe nobody will see it, but maybe they will. Especially if they saw the content on Reddit and can’t find it anymore, they might look here. And that’s the only way we’re gonna get that shit off of Reddit.

I wonder how good AI is at deobfuscating code. It seems like the kind of thing it might be good at.
- Comment on New World will stop receiving updates following Amazon layoffs 5 weeks ago:
The game would have been appropriately hyped if it weren’t for a few massive fuckups.
-
Resource gathering was supposed to be a cat & mouse game. But the potential PvP while gathering resources doesn’t appeal to the masses, so marketing added a “you can’t touch me” PvE flag.
-
Item duplication. There were exploits that allowed item duping. They didn’t reset the economy after those exploits were addressed, and they didn’t catch everyone.
-
They decided the content was too easy (especially given the duped gear above) and made everything much harder after a couple weeks. Again, no server reset. So if you didn’t get in in the first couple weeks and duplicate some items in that time, you were forever behind.

- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 month ago:
Sometimes you get a new dream machine that has internal ipv6 disabled by default and only your matter over WiFi lights stop working, but you think they’re thread, which shouldn’t leak ipv6 past the otbr. So you work on getting them reconnected to the Internet by removing your firewall policy that kept them local, but Ubiquity now has Zones as well, and your dumbass did a little of each. Plus, for some reason, they’ll negotiate an ipv4 and drop off the network, and there’s no easy way to identify a bulb by it’s IP or mac address. It’s not like the Mac addresss is printed on the bulb, so you try to judge by signal strength. But then your buddy who’s been helping you troubleshoot for the past couple hours tells you to link him the lights from your order history, so only then do you realize they’re matter over WiFi and not matter over thread, and enabling ipv6 locally does the trick. Now you’ve just got a set up your automations again, because you had the bright idea to put actual switches in the walls that depend on home assistant, and the automations don’t know the new entities so none of your wall switches work until that’s fixed. And eventually you’ll get around to reinstating that firewall policy to block them from the Internet, but not today because you’ve spent long enough for one day on fighting with your light bulbs.

Just read these 14 books from 1930 if you want to have an opinion. No, I can’t summarize anything from them. They can only be understood in their entirety.
