  I think this might be the first and only time I’ll ever see Omarchy getting upvotes on this site.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Other init systems are able to handle those issues without requiring the absolutely insane amount of scope creep that systemd exhibits though.

  I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CW: Picture of a severe vaccine injury, NSFL⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m old enough that there actually wasn’t a chickenpox vaccine until after I’d already had it. Thankfully, my case wasn’t nearly as miserable as what you’ve described. I just got kinda itchy all over and got to stay in bed watching TV for like a week.

  You’d have to keep switching between raspberries and potato chips and the robot would get all messy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta will shut down VR Horizon Worlds access in June⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, they just told us to use our own if we had them. And of course, we couldn’t get a discount on them or anything, either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta will shut down VR Horizon Worlds access in June⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They tried REALLY hard to get us to use it for meetings when I worked there, but nobody wanted to give up their legs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teens using AI meal plans could be eating too few calories — equivalent to skipping a meal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Carbohydrates are required to break down proteins and fats. They’re very much an essential nutrient, just not in the quantities the old food pyramid would have you believe.

  If carbs weren’t essential, a pure protein and fat diet wouldn’t outright kill you from kidney failure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel Demos Chip To Compute With Encrypted Data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t you technically figure out what the data is by doing a bunch of operations on it and observing the result? I’m not a math or security guy by any stretch but this seems almost too good to be true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harmony - Yet Another Discord Alternative⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  XMPP I haven’t tried to set up yet, but I imagine it to be similarly in-depth.

  If I remember correctly, it actually used to be extremely easy to get going with Prosody and Coturn. I’m not sure whether that’s still the case though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Phone is an Entire Computer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Love that you haven’t died choking on your own tongue. It must be a major achievement for someone with an intellectual disability as severe as yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Phone is an Entire Computer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’ve used it. Even with the tiniest font size, you can barely see enough to get anything done with it. But going off of your posts, you don’t have any actual work to do so it makes sense that you’d think the two are comparable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Phone is an Entire Computer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, I’m not sure if you’ve ever actually used a desktop computer before, but they have this incredible new feature that lets you have multiple windows open at the same time. You do you, though, my incredibly fucking stupid booboo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Phone is an Entire Computer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would, but I can’t fit a 32 inch screen in my pocket ever since I blew out the crotch on my JNCOs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Phone is an Entire Computer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that it allows users to detect when they’re connected to a phony cell tower like the ones police and ICE use to intercept communications, and we Can’t Have That.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s basically the story at all the big tech companies, from what I’ve heard. In my time at Facebook, I felt like the only person who actually read the merge requests that people sent me before hitting it with “LGTM”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fascism bad.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t the amygdala handle processing strong emotions rather than causing them, meaning that an underactive one would be less able to handle said strong emotions?

  Oh shit, they named a tree after that Baroness song?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BYD’s Second-Generation Blade Battery Makes Western EV Tech Look Ancient⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really think the fact that China controls the vast majority of the rare earths is grossly understated when discussing the explosion of electric vehicles there. The US recently discovered a huge volcanic lithium deposit, but I suspect that there’s a lot of gallium going into the Chinese batteries that the US just doesn’t have access to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardening Firefox with Anthropic’s Red Team⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you somehow not? Open source projects have been running out of resources because they’re overwhelmed with bogus bug reports filed by AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardening Firefox with Anthropic’s Red Team⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That even though the team is using AI to check for vulnerabilities, they’re trained and know when their AI is hallucinating and when it’s not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardening Firefox with Anthropic’s Red Team⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s…exactly my point though…

  And is leadership in golfing better?

  No, Mark hates golf as far as I know. He’s a big fan of BJJ though.

  I’ll bet Claude Code would be happy to help you fix it 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Disaster Recovery. Like a backup, but also includes a way to rebuild all the infrastructure surrounding it as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and to do that without some sort of DR in place is peak hubris.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardening Firefox with Anthropic’s Red Team⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m actually kinda into this. Even if the AI vomits up a bunch of hallucinated vulnerabilities, there’s a team of (presumably) capable people there to figure that out. Seems like a pretty valid use for the technology.
