- Comment on 79% of Americans feel burned out as they put most vacation time toward errands, doctor visits, and family care 12 hours ago:
I have been working almost 4 years with my friend now and we have an open discourse on what is expected of each other, so the line is very clear between work and friendship.
I don’t plan on exiting in the next few years, but I have to have a plan if I need to get out.
These years have been eye opening on what I want in life. The freedom it provides has no price, and I agree with you that the job security is a lie. The moment the company doesn’t need you, you get fired and that’s that. There is uncertainty between contracts, but otherwise it is the same as a normal job except you make your hours.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 16 hours ago:
Ghost of Tsushima on the PC. 90 fps (most of the time) 4K.
The gameplay is really to my taste, so I am planning on playing this one for a while.

How huges are you balls? Are we talking like baseball big, or wheelbarrow big?
I am in a position where I work for a friend but I have basically a freelancing job, and I start to realize what you are saying.
I am starting to build my exit plan in case it doesn’t work out for whatever reason, and I cannot see myself going back to a 9 to 5 job.

Trump doesn’t give a fuck. He just want to stay out of prison for all the terrible things he did.
- Comment on Ubisoft launches NFT game with figures costing up to $63K 2 months ago:
It’s like recreating the vacuum of space with words.
PR talk needs to die a fiery death.
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 months ago:
Security updates in newer OSes and app incompatibility with older OS versions.
- Comment on Relationship goals 2 months ago:
I mean, even as a sexual person, when you stop and think about it, it is indeed gross.
But my reptilian brain craves it. And my logical brain just doesn’t give a fuck anymore about how it looks like. I mean, I change diapers full of shit and piss every day and I’ve seen my two children be born in an ungodly amount of juices. My threshold for being grossed out has become a lot higher.
- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 2 months ago:
The issue isn’t you doing your hobby projects however you want, it’s people being paid and produce LLM generated code.
And the biggest issue is managers/c-suites thinking that LLMs can replace senior devs.
And the biggest biggest issue is that the LLMs in their current mainstream form are terribly bad for the environment.
- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 2 months ago:
It’s rarely the case. You rarely work in vacuum where your work only affects what you do at the moment. There is always a downstream or upstream dependency/requirement that needs to be met that you have to take into account in your development.
You have to avoid the problem that might come later that you are aware of. If it’s not possible, you have to mitigate the impact of the future problems.
It’s not possible to know of all the problems that might/will happen, but with a little work before a project, a lot of issues can be avoided/mitigated.
I wouldn’t want civil engineers thinking like that, because our infrastructure would be a lot worse than it is today.
- Comment on Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model." 2 months ago:
There is no issue here from Bitwarden POV, except the pushback they receive now.
Bitwarden got VC funding and the bell is ringing to bring the cows back in to be milked dried.
They are testing the water to see how people react, scale back a bit through whatever lies/PR, and will just wait for the right time to shove more shit.
This is a pattern we’ve seen over and over again.
- Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord? 2 months ago:
Corpos are spending countless resources to infiltrate anything with as much as a iota of traction so that they can bleed the cow cash dry and sell its carcass for money.
Even if you distrust the corpos and want them to die, the majority of the population has so much trouble just surviving that its hard to raise up against that bullshit
- Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord? 2 months ago:
In an ideal world yes, but we’ve learned nothing from the Dotcom bubble, or the 2008 housing bubble.
If there is money to be made, history will repeat itself.
- Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord? 2 months ago:
Discord, at one point, was better than a lot of other app on the market, and they were one of the first where you could just create an account and join any group, for free.
It became the standard, and now we’re stuck with that shit
- Comment on Please Don’t Make Me Download Another App | Our phones are being overrun 2 months ago:
I have to look for datasheets quite ofen and every damn company requires you to log into their shitty login system to get them.
It’s exhausting

People spend thousands of dollar for their furniture, but dont want to pay the extra 75$ it takes to have strong people come and bring their furniture home.
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 2 months ago:
Yes, but it is not acceptable in today’s capitalism. Only the growth of growth matters.
If the line does not go up enough, the company is failing.
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 2 months ago:
There is no point of starting the chart to 0 since it doesn’t give any information other than the share price, which is already communicated by the Y axis anyways.
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 2 months ago:
Might be that the CEO and upper management are dumb fucks running the company to the ground.
No more innovation, just microtransactions in shitty games, and the same old rehashed concepts.
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 2 months ago:
I got brain damage reading your dumb post.
We know you are a dum dum because you use the term woke unironically.
- Comment on Project Analyzing Human Language Usage Shuts Down Because ‘Generative AI Has Polluted the Data’ 3 months ago:
I’d be fucking butthurt as well if my pet project was being destroyed by mega corpos for a shitty generative thief AI.
- Comment on That explains it. 3 months ago:
At one point, if you explicitly put your body on social media, multiple time, on multiple platforms, that’s kind of the expected behaviour no?
Sometimes, i wanna watch porn and sometimes I want to look at women that I find attractive. Does that mean that I have to exclusively watch someone my age?
I much prefer looking at women my age, but let’s be real, the older I get, the less I see them on social media.

Did that work?
- Comment on Parental stress is a significant public health issue, US surgeon general says in new advisory 4 months ago:
Modern society isn’t compatible with humanness.
Every corpo is out to get more money, time and data out of you, so that they can have more power, while our quality of life is exponentially getting eroded, and the planet is burning.
Add kids to the mix, and you run on fumes 24/7.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 4 months ago:
Microsoft primary motivation was not to benefit the community, but to gain good PR in that case. It just so happen that this move also benefits the community as well.
And that’s my point. Sometimes, corpos’ decisions benefit the community, but this is only a side effect, not the intended purpose.
- Comment on Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code? 4 months ago:
It’s a decent starting point for a new language. I had to learn webdev as an embedded C coder, and using a LLM and cross-referencing the official documentation makes a new language much more approachable.
- Comment on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team 4 months ago:
No corpos does something for the good of the people. It just so happen that this particular thing does.
Behind every move, there is a price tag attached to it.
By doing that, Microsoft is trying to get good PR.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing 4 months ago:
It is known in advance which item is in special and at what price during a determined period of time.
With dynamic pricing, the price could change between you choosing what you want and actually order, without any notice.
This is two different beasts.
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 4 months ago:
I should recheck newer datasheets, but I still see master/slave nomenclature in STM32 doc and tools for example.
- Comment on Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating 4 months ago:
Don’t think for a second it will last long, or if it will be enforced at all.
He will be expected to be there 3 days a week, not obligated.
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 4 months ago:
Not every domain though. I still see master/slave in every relevant datasheets that I read, and I’ve never seen primary/secondary in newer datasheets.
