  Based on how often it happens, “curse and find whatever f’n tab is now making the noise” is my favourite game.

  Fuck this “web as app” shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an anti- sleep-paralysis device?⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Get examined. Narcolepsy is a terrible thing. My friend couldn’t work late as she’d be prone to hallucination while driving. She’s better now with a good drug regimen and awareness but she reports being very frightened for a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The aws outage is so funny, I can see which companies are amazon scums.⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  scums

  Not a plural/countable word.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Butbutbut AWS reliability and many regions and zones means this can’t happen! ;-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel this in my midnight cursing and investigation.

  I gotta get HAss going so I can still use my lights when the clowd breaks.

  You’re talking about the “95 percentile” rule, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Photofield v0.20.0 released: dark mode, photo details, best scrollbar, better map, more search filters, etc.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks very nice.

  Um, you know you’re supposed to keep dev tools in dev, right? Npm->commit->release payload without npm. Far fewer supply-chain exploits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber wants an AI agent in every board meeting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bots eavesdropping? That’s a great way to see all the nerds dead silent on the mandated cam feeds except for the furious typing and occasional smirk. They’re probably working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich 2.1 Released with Better Slideshow Shuffle, New Notifications⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Still crutching on containers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not promoting hate speech but what happened to all the slights/slurs/vulgarity from like the 20s and 40s. There were so many. Now it seems well I can only think of three?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can the dumber ones pass more quickly, please?

  Totes mid, fr fr. Not fetch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  you use to have

  You can’t use something in order to have it. Once you use it, it’s gone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  18yo old

  That’s like “ATM Machine”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loops Joins the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an exciting world of file-to-object-to-file thunking. I’m surprised when it all works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What options of resistance are programmers creating to not submit to AI culture?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not if you use it correctly.

  Ah! “Git gud” elitism to paper over the risk.

  The issue still stands: what few seniors you still have at the shop who can tell people WHY something is a bad idea, are now distracted with juniors submitting absolute shit code for review and needing to be taught why that structure is a bad idea.

  “Well everyone else is doing it” was a bad rebuttal when you wanted to go to Chuck’s party and Mom said no. Laundering “this is what everyone else writes” through an Ai concentrator when 2 generations of coders are self-taught and unmentored after the great post-y2k purge of mentors and writers, isn’t a better situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've recently turned into a blocker.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I block bad writers. It hurts my brain reading their work and I get sad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyday Ai

  IS there a mundane, everyday Ai ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Am biz. I see it.

  Sovereignty is almost the issue that it needs to be, but our ‘security’ types totally trust MS at their word when they say “it’s only stored in your country and can’t be touched from here. Trust me, bro.”

  These are security types who know to ask “how do you know” 5 times, and don’t even ask it once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A deep dive into the rss feed reader landscape⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldbt keep reading. The comma splices and run-on sentences were breaking my brain. I’m sorry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mid Career Marine Biology⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  think it through dummy.

  Pacifier or mannequin? What kind of dummy are you thinking it through?

  (The comma splice didn’t have the same potential)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  vibe coding

  Dear wired: the word is Slopping. With slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’d be surprised at how little they paid to annoy specifically you that one time. And each time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m reminded of “http-slash-slash-backslash-eacape” and the joke that it’s OJ’s home page URL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2025 Self-Host User Survey: Open for Submissions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No need to look up how to do a clean install.

  The suggestion you don’t know that enterprise OSes have been doing clean installs and removals of a product and all its dependencies for 25 years as a critical test before issuing said packages suggests you’re working around too many problems without solving them.

  We did devops by pxe-based kickstart and then simple package updates before devops was even a word. It still does better than Ansible does now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich finally goes stable, a talk with the team⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still container crutches?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2025 Self-Host User Survey: Open for Submissions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dependency hell is self-inflicted, but sparkle-junkie devs are complicit: it’s their fault they don’t know of long-term-support enterprise OSes and don’t use one as a primary port.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨v2.0.0: Stable Release of Immich (complete with Merch and DVD)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still on container crutches?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I watch clips where people can be heard super-clearly on lowly clip-on mics.

  There is no reason to hold it in your hand. You’re not Bob Barker.

  Compare with the vapid influencerati trash holding their phones like pizza slices and shouting into them and turning the sound uploke they’re on some reality trash show. Telling them that they’re absolutely using it wrongly, that engineers have tuned the mic and speakers for a completely different orientation, is just lost. So I make fun of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Moist, as in “moist oily ointment.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can wait until someone else than Zuck® offers something better.

  We said that about the Portal. The successor to the PortalTV isn’t going to replace the units I have in the field.
