- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 50 minutes ago:
There are better way to live. But we’re used to a certain level of comfort, that includes not doing the many, many upkeep tasks to grow food, maintain home, clothing, etc. so we trade some time for currencies, that is then traded with other people, and the leftover currency allows us to indulge in fun things that are also complex and high maintenance, so they’re done by other.
Well, that’s the theory. In practice, working a full-time job barely, if even, covers the minimum expanses required to live, which keep going up anyway, so you have to work more to barely go by, which thankfully will let you forget that you won’t make anywhere near enough money for leisure time. Good thing you won’t have any, eh?
sigh knowing we have the technologies, right now, to cover all basic needs, including food and housing, for cheap, but still do with the charade of inflation so that a few select individual can extract all our time from us is really sad.

It does not usually contain candy however.
There’s a market to look into then.
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 3 days ago:
Who’s doing the asking there? Neither my laptop nor my phones asked anything.
According to the settings on my current phone, the automatic setting will decide by itself to limit the maximum charge overnight, then plan to go full charge around the time my alarm should fire.
But, again, that’s the kind of micromanagement that would yield a tiny fraction of “maybe improvement” over the lifetime of the damn thing. I’d rather have a device works all the time for 6 years than have a device that’s sometime undercharged for 6.1 years.
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 4 days ago:
Nah, I can’t be bothered by that. And the only device’s battery I really had issues with was a seven years old laptop, years ago. BMS and software will almost always know better than the user these days.
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 4 days ago:
The point is that I never had to care about battery management for years. I just leave the phone doing its thing. Not that it’s useful or not useful to do so.
The whole point is that I leave that in the hand of people that know.

Just live in a microwave. Problem solved!
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 4 days ago:
I hadn’t watched the video yet, but my phone’s going the opposite way. It run slow charge overnight when it feels like it’s going to be enough for it to be fully charged the next morning.
We really should let electronics and tight software take care of these little things.

You must be annoyed A LOT these days. It seems that spending a lot of money on nothing is the latest trend for these people.
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 1 week ago:
The rest of the world is slowly routing everything around the USA. Assuming things turns back, there will be a lot to rebuild in matter of trust and commerce.
Now, if you’re talking about what happens inside the USA, well, what do you propose other countries do? Invade? Because that’s not happening. There’s enough to do for damage control outside of it.

If you’re having sex with random, unknown, untrusted people, you better use a condom anyway, because pregnancy isn’t the worst thing that can happen, so the point is kinda moot anyway.
- Comment on She is making a GREAT point 1 week ago:
I have built-in birth control.
Also, I’d jump on a pill that allows safe (as in, no kid) sex with more fun, but it seems that’s hard to do.

Ultimately, this could highlight the incredibly high value of wikipedia as a common ressource, and might lead to better things there.
Maybe.

- Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 3 weeks ago:
I really want this to be true, because not only I believe that would be the immediate outcome, but also because it would be hilarious.
But a somewhat credible source that’s not wrapped in “allegedly” and old stories would really help drive the point home.
- Comment on Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash 3 weeks ago:
Automation with a lot of validation steps that are not very obvious. Because if they were, we’d have automated them away.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 3 weeks ago:
I honestly don’t mind as long as it’s down with permission
From Microsoft “fuck you now all your files are on onedrive”, sure, they can be trusted. After all, it’s not like microsoft “I’m wiping this bootloader for you” have done anything shady before. Microsoft “I’ll revert those default apps settings because you clearly wanted edge when you changed everything to firefox/chrome” is THE company that respects user decisions. Microsoft “I’ll update and reboot now, fuck you” really knows how to stay in line and not do the opposite of what users want.
Really, what could go wrong in believing that Microsoft “I shit you not, you want to open that link in edge even though you uninstalled it” will honor the end-looser checking or unchecking a checkbox.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 3 weeks ago:
First day using a microsoft product? Checkbox magically checking themselves is as old as my first baby wee windows update.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 3 weeks ago:
Their problem is that they were slower than some, their solution is half baked at best, and it’s prohibitively expensive
Sounds like a lot of company these days.

I was pondering about updating that dying w10 partition, just in case. Well, looks like someone else put the final nail in that coffin for me.

- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 4 weeks ago:
I’d like to think like that too, but it’s actually experience with large business users that led me to say otherwise.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 4 weeks ago:
No signature or verification, no trust
And the people that are going to check for a digital signature in the first place, THEN check that the signature emanates from a trusted key, then, eventually, check who’s deciding the list of trusted keys… those people, where are they?
Because the lack of trust, validation, verification, and more generally the lack of any credibility hasn’t stopped anything from spreading like a dumpster fire in a field full of dumpsters doused in gasoline. Part of my job is providing digital signature tools and creating “trusted” data (I’m not in sales, obviously), and the main issue is that nobody checks anything, even when faced with liability, even when they actually pay for an off the shelve solution to do so. And I’m talking about people that should care, not even the general public.
There are a lot of steps before “digitally signing everything” even get on people’s radar. For now, a green checkmark anywhere is enough to convince anyone, sadly.

Be sure to tell this to “AI”. It would be a shame if this was a technical nonsense law to be.
