What a smug stupid fucking lying face on this piece of shit… He thinks he’s fucking being cute with his little glasses and eyebrows feinting surprise
That lede photo is the very fucking epitome of the Upton Sinclair’s “it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it”
He is being paid hundreds of millions of dollars to pretend to be ignorant, to blatantly lie to people, while looking them straight in the eye. More money than you or me will ever see in all our combined lifetimes, to make that stupid fucking face

I haven’t spent more than $30ish bucks on a game since … 2013?? I think the last game I paid full price for was gta5 on ps3
Do y’all not know about the bargain bin and steam sales…? Is everyone so up to date on their backlog you can’t wait a few months for that price to drop to 50%
It doesn’t take long, Doom the dark ages has already hit that discount a few times iirc

… But why?
Are… are you going to ask your wife and daughter to start submitting tickets if jellyfin stops working, or nextcloud stops syncing?? Are you going to create dashboards to make sure you are meeting SLIs?
Or am I missing the point of what jira is for? (This is what I use jira for at work…)

There is a certain kind of boomer who ended up retiring to a little hobby farm with a couple chickens and maybe a pig or a few sheep…
We are all going to end up with hobby server farms, with a localized coy of Wikipedia backed up, and a file and image server, maybe some email…
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, this is the most reasonable take I have heard from tech bros on ai so far… Use it for something useful and stop using it for garbage!
Ai has a million great uses that could make so many things so much easier, but instead we are building AI to undress women on twitter
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 3 weeks ago:
It’s much easier to build an expert ai, you don’t need it to have general knowledge and can feed them data manuals. It takes a lot less processing power and generates much better, accurate and relevant results. It also means there is a set quantity of data the ai can/needs to consume to know everything about x subject.
Think about it like the… The Spotify library is like 350tb, but you won’t ever need all that, exclude all foreign language content,podcasts, and genres you don’t care about and that 350tb can get slimmed down a much more relevant 35tb, specialist ai is kinda like that…

It doesn’t really need to be tedious… My notes are jokey, full of profanity, sarcasm, and self deprecating humor
for context, these are my personal notes for my personal machine. These will never be shared with anyone else, and nobody else has to try to read them or make sense of them (well… sometimes I make chatbot read my notes in order to train it on whatever I need help troubleshooting)
