Money doesn’t solve problems. Engineers solve problems. America is throwing too much money at hardware and not enough at people.

- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 1 week ago:
My kids can’t ride the bus because they are “too close” to school, except it’s 1.6 miles away on a busy road with patches of no sidewalks. It would be trivial to have a bus drop them nearby but they instead want to waste the time of hundreds of parents every single day.
- Comment on Microsoft's OpenAI losses hidden as part of $4.7 billion 'other' expense — stake in AI company still doesn't turn a profit as companies grapple with ongoing contract negotiation 1 week ago:
They’re going to use that as the leverage they need to get a good deal on it. Usually these types of investment arrangements give first rights of refusal when looting the corpse.
It’s already calculated, in my opinion.

I’m sure we’ll see a bloodbath in the coming years as it all falls apart, and then the big companies like Microsoft and Google will vacuum up the pieces for themselves.

My niece saw my earrings and asked “if you’re a boy why do you have earrings?” (They are from a very conservative upbringing).
I simply asked, “Well do you like them?” and of course she said “Yeah!”
“That’s why, because they’re awesome.”

If you are worried about too many furries in your line of work, try changing jobs! Maybe get into IT or something?

They REALLY enjoyed that lower risk
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, you get some offline capabilities when you have a PWA. Obviously app or not, nobody is going to be uploading video without an internet connection.

Probably doesn’t need to run in the background unless I’m missing some feature?

What? No man, this is all standard mobile web stuff.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 4 weeks ago:
I guarantee you that all this can be done in Mobile Safari. I have done it before.
You have to go through the “Share > Add to Home Screen” workflow instead of having the site simply install it for you, so it’s a bit more effort (and confusion) on the user’s part.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 4 weeks ago:
Surely all of those things can be done in a browser. You can grant location and camera permissions to a website easy enough. And encrypted transfer can be done any number of ways. Offline recording is possible with localstorage. All of this seems very achievable and effectively uncensorable by Apple.
The only thing it can’t get is App Store search rank.
- Comment on Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible 4 weeks ago:
Sure, but let’s also not discount the idea that a significant percentage of businesses need no more than a single static HTML page for their website. I don’t find it a problem for a person to vibe code that up instead of hiring a real web developer.
- Comment on Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible 4 weeks ago:
Ehhh, I don’t think the comparison they’re making here is right. Leaning on open source software is not just for lazy developers - it’s often the best architectural choice.
I can’t think of a situation where vibe coding is the best choice except for when speed matters much more than quality, and even then only sometimes.
- Comment on Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions 5 weeks ago:
The world sorely needs this. Very nice work.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 5 weeks ago:
Some code is boilerplate and can’t be distilled down more. It’s nice to point an AI to a database schema and say “write the Django models, admin, forms, and api for this schema, using these authentication permissions”. Yeah I’ll have to verify it’s done right, but that gets a lot of the boring typing out of the way.
- Comment on PuffPals: Island Skies, a cosy game that earned $2.5 million on Kickstarter, has been slammed with refund requests after its website and online store disappeared 1 month ago:
People greatly underestimate the chances of success of a video game, even with $2.5 million. It’s even easy to fail entirely for reasons unrelated to developing a game, such as corporate governance.
It’s not totally comparable, because we did a physical game, the Kickstarter I created ended up succeeding and shipping (over a year late!), we lost virtually all profits to early company investors and surprise tariffs. It was basically a wash financially.
- Comment on Spotify is finally taking steps to address its AI slop and clone problem 1 month ago:
Hatsune Miku sweating bullets all of a sudden.
Real talk though, there’s a whole genre of non-slop vocaloid music that these policies might affect, if I’m reading the rules strictly.

Don’t hold your breath, it’s by the same devs as Kerbal Space Program 2.

Telegraph lines are longer therefore have a larger effect during a solar flare.
But yeah, at a certain level, a solar flare would fry everything.

Agreed, this one looked like “generic edgy fantasy“ but I was regularly surprised at the depth of the worldbuilding. Definitely surpassed all my expectations.
