- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 4 days ago:
I’m in favour of hiring kids to figure out the solution through iteration and doing web searches etc. If they fuck up, then they learn and eventually become better at their job - maybe even becoming a Senior themselves eventually.
I get what you’re saying - Seniors are more likely to use the tools more effectively, but there are many cases of the AI not doing what its told. Its not repeatably consistent like a bash script.
People are better - always.

Bullshit, thats AI Photoshop. Nothing is real anymore
- Comment on Chris Bowen urges motorists not to panic-buy petrol 1 week ago:
At least this time around we’ve got EVs as an option. Obviously if youre unable to afford a new car this doesn’t help, but its something.
- Comment on I Bought a Linux Phone in 2026 1 week ago:
No idea who this guy is, but that was a hilarious video. Heaps of little jabs to highlight some of the very real weirdness of it all, but a decent enough demo to show that it all does intact work.
- Comment on AI-Generated Passwords Are Apparently Quite Easy to Crack 1 week ago:
Kind of. The best advice now is to use a password manager so you dont need to remember passwords at all - in which case just make it random with as many characters as allowed and youre done.
But for remembering passwords, the longer the better and replacing some letters with numbers and random characters is helpful too.

Wow, thats fucked. I hope Australia doesn’t decide to do this as well. This shit is happening so quickly at the moment

Maybe they’ll take their job more seriously now?
- Comment on Ladybird Browser adopts Rust, with help from AI 2 weeks ago:
The worst part is they are doing themselves a disservice by not rewriting it by hand - have they really learnt enough Rust to know how to effectively rewrite the other parts of the engine as they say? Doubtful - they’ll probably just do everything through AI stuff going forward.
- Comment on Colorado proposing Bill to move age verification to Operating System rather than web site 2 weeks ago:
No, you’ll only be able to access the internet on approved devices. Anything that isn’t under their full control will be disallowed.
- Comment on It should be a strict rule 2 weeks ago:
Yep, that’s it. Nothing in between.
- Comment on It should be a strict rule 3 weeks ago:
Probably because fields of grass are better than housing development? Which for the environment, is technically true
- Comment on What Your Bluetooth Devices Reveal About You: Building Bluehood, a Bluetooth scanner that reveals what information we leak just by having Bluetooth enabled on our devices. 3 weeks ago:
I have my phone running grapheneos set to automatiically switch off Bluetooth after not being used for 5 mins. Makes life easier for sure.

I imagine there would be a gigantic list of safety concerns for self-closing doors.

Sleep maxing.
Sleep mask plus earphones that are specifically designed for sleeping (white noise, soft, low profile against pillow).

- Comment on Why medieval city-builder video games are historically inaccurate - Leiden Medievalists Blog 1 month ago:
All very fair points. I guess I should reserve judgement.

I was interested so I checked it out. But its been in development for over 10 years, and still in Alpha.
- Comment on Developer patches Wine to make Photoshop 2021 & 2025 run on Linux — Adobe Creative Cloud installers finally work thanks to HTML, JavaScript and XML fixes 1 month ago:
Collabora has also released a desktop version. I’ve been giving it a go and its UI is pretty nice, but its still fairly buggy at the moment. Keeping an eye on it for sure.
- Comment on Amazon MMO New World Has Just a Year to Live, Rust Dev Offers to Buy It - IGN 1 month ago:
Well yea, sure. He just has a bone to pick with Linux. It was a pretty good MMO, so it would be cool to see it continue so its worth the gamble.
- Comment on Amazon MMO New World Has Just a Year to Live, Rust Dev Offers to Buy It - IGN 1 month ago:
Im pretty sure you can, yea. But only if you disable the anticheat I believe - thats the part that breaks it.
- Comment on Amazon MMO New World Has Just a Year to Live, Rust Dev Offers to Buy It - IGN 1 month ago:
If he buys it, he will break the Linux compatibility guaranteed.

Yea but have you been scrambled?
- Comment on Age verification errors see some under-16s retain access to banned social media platforms 2 months ago:
Absolutely not, nothing good can come of this. All youre doing is giving more power to Apple/Google to control everything youre allowed to do on your device. You now have to have an approved phone, with their approved Operating System, apps installed via their approved app store, an approved browser… Etc etc.
That digital ID stuff is horrible as well, they already tested it during covid with the checkins nonsense.
