- Comment on Imagine not being able to shower, because AI slop generator machines need that water! 1 day ago:
Building anything like this is seen as a jobs creator. Data center companies then pass the proposal around to municipalities and ask them who want jobs. These places then bend over backwards to offer tax incentives, fast permitting, etc. with no regard to whether their location can actually support the building.
So of course they get built in the most corrupt places.

If you’re scrappy, you can just dumpster dive for your groceries.
- Comment on Enough of the billionaires and their big tech. ‘Frugal tech’ will build us all a better world 2 days ago:
AGPL sort of requires this and I’ve started to use it in projects that run on networks. The problem I’ve seen is that so many cloud providers use software with permissive licenses like MIT.
Honestly, more projects need to switch to licenses that require contributions back to the source if you publicly built upon it.
My company, for example, has a FOSS scanner and rejects any library that has copyleft provisions. I imagine most companies do. The corporate world would become absolutely fucked if every package decided to use GPL.
And just a reminder how one developer fucked over companies by removing his library from npm.

I feel like black is better at hiding detail. Women’s slips are black vs white for example.

Would you mind sharing your automation yaml for the garden lights? I’d love to do more with Bluetooth beacons but don’t know enough about how they work to do anything with them.
- Comment on When will we have reached enough productivity? 1 week ago:
I’m agree with the consequence but not the cause. Jack Welsh figured out the cheat code to increase short term stock prices by laying off people, regardless of their actual role or value to the company.
Since then, every company has done it whenever they need a quick boost in numbers.
- Comment on ChatGPT advises women to ask for lower salaries, study finds 1 week ago:
Honestly it’s a bit refreshing to see racism and ageism codified. Before there was no logic to it but now, it completely makes sense.

I suspect years of shrinkflation have something to do with it.
- Comment on LinkedIn Banned A Trans Woman For Using Her Preferred Name 2 weeks ago:
I absolutely cannot stand the fact that I have to be on LinkedIn to find a job.
It’s so shitty.
Our hiring process is so fucking broken but we live with it because we don’t care to make it better.
- Comment on Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors 2 weeks ago:
How do you prove to the bank or in a court of law that you didn’t do something? The hotel is alleging that their algorithm detected smoking.
Besides setting up a camera which seems to be very invasive, how would you fight this?
- Comment on We should be able to legally have a different name just for work for better work/life separation 2 weeks ago:
I essentially do something similar.
My friends and family all call me “Ted”. At work, people call me “Theodore”.
One person at work asked me if I ever go by Ted and I had to tell them it’s an easy way to know in which context someone knows me.

- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 3 weeks ago:
They wanted someone with experience, who can hit the ground running, but didn’t want to pay for it, either with cash or time.
- cheap
- quick
- experience
You can only pick two.
- Comment on YSK: if you are visiting Puerto Rico from the mainland US, you can sign up to escort a rescue animal on your return flight to their adopter 3 weeks ago:
How does this work? I know that PR is an US territory but I imagine there are some quarantine procedures for animals.
Or has all of that been worked out already and you’re just the courier?

- the most felony convictions
- the most state and federal criminal investigations that are still open
- the most amount of diapers worn during a presidential term
- the first president in what 20 years to puss out and have his inauguration indoors
- the first president to have been a confirmed rapist
I’m going to speculate:
- the smallest penis
- the most obese
- the shortest
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 3 weeks ago:
I was having just this conversation with a friend of mine the other day. There is a level of net worth that once you hit it, it becomes exponentially harder to get out of poverty than someone who isn’t poor. And absolutely no amount of money can help them because unless you can stop the churn, all that money will just go toward the black hole of fees and other expenses.
- Comment on what 3 weeks ago:
Some sellers are delusional and think their house is special and that it will sell for more than they list, even expect it.
There have been times where I made an offer and the seller countered and based on their contingencies, I got the vibe that they were going to be an asshole through closing.
One seller even threatened to sue even though I was fully within my rights to walk away. My response to my agent was “tell them to serve me papers.”
Never heard from them again.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 3 weeks ago:
Not to defend this practice but my guess is that the firmware was released before Thanksgiving, but the owner didn’t turn on the grill until Thanksgiving, which is when the grill picked up the firmware.
Guy is still an idiot for buying a device that REQUIRES Internet access.
- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 3 weeks ago:
Oftentimes, though schools don’t have many options because they simply need bodies to supervise the students.
And sadly, this is why schools are being defunded and requirements for teachers are simply “a warm body, but don’t be woke”.
Red states especially only want baby sitters because they want “education” to occur at church. With the DoE almost completely gutted, this problem is going to get worse and we’ll pay the price in about 10 years.
- Comment on Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes 4 weeks ago:
I think what makes enshittification is “give users less and charge more”. It’s about returning shareholder value instead of customer value.
Netflix is a great example. They have pulled back on content, made password sharing more challenging, and increased cost. They still report increases in paying users.
They’ve done the math. They know they can take lost in users because they know they’ll make up for it. That’s the sad part in all of this.

The line demands you cut costs but also increase service.
The line demands it go up. It doesn’t care how you get there. In many cases, decreasing service while also cutting costs is the way to do it so long as line goes up.

- Comment on Tractor eggs 4 weeks ago:
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
