I had a green DeCSS shirt. It was awesome. I ditched it while coming over the border.
- Comment on Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel. 7 hours ago:
My peer used the newton for comp aci class notes.
Then she went on to mastermind the behaviour and tactics of Myth: The Fallen Lords.
It’s tenuous, but I say that’s causal.
- Comment on Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch 13 hours ago:
Copilot leads me on flights of fanciful code that is absolutely not possible, and the joy turns to tragedy when I find out it lied insidiously about a particular niche function the entire time.
- Comment on Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently? 1 day ago:
Yes. Just today. And every day of the last 26 years.
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 1 day ago:
Headphone jack. I just can’t say this enough, despite the fact I have apple’s wireless earbuds (of some clique name) in my pocket at this very second. Headphone jack.
Don’t ask for it for yourself. Ask for it for the d-bag sharing music of some guy grunting over a drum track on the bus. We need to save him from the damage to his reputation when his friends remind him they knew he listened to such trash later when he needs to deny it.

Our current reproduction rates already have us at the brink of collapse.

I read somewhere that many species will do the same. Hell, bonobos will fuck often; homo, hetero, doesn’t matter. It’s part of their society.

Regular competent software engineers
Same thing. Otherwise there’d be air quotes.
- Comment on Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate? 3 days ago:
Savage.
I hate that my macabre subconscious is trying to cook up a sick burn about bullet points.
- Comment on Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI 5 days ago:
The movie was named just “Dave” and it stars Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline.
- Comment on Pay-per-output? AI firms blindsided by beefed up robots.txt instructions. 5 days ago:
Anthropic could have bought
You think buying the books would let them plagiarize ? That doesn’t seem to be normal in the “book buying” process.
- Comment on Atlassian goes cloud-only, customers face integration issues 5 days ago:
You’re gonna get some “git gud scrub” responses, but really the high cost is just what everyone discovers; it’s just your turn.
In both my jobs I went through the eager take-up of cloud and saas schemes, and then the 90% repatriation of compute.
Turns out it’s still cheaper to run your own team with your own gear in a DC. Like, usually by a good amount. Yes, Virginia, even if you’re a black belt cloud master of saas (which is just sales and kool-aid).
- Comment on Atlassian goes cloud-only, customers face integration issues 5 days ago:
Atlassian hasn’t had a great history of
- Understanding cloud
- Deploying anything reliable into the cloud
Now they’re 100% SAAS? This is gonna be sad.
- Comment on Finally setup nginx as a reverse proxy. 5 days ago:
setup
‘set up’, my dude. Two words, as a verb.

I feel like playground beating could’ve been had for less when I was a kid.
- Comment on Microsoft mandates a return to office 6 days ago:
But, as per the Dead Sea Effect, they’re not gonna shed the people they think they are.

Can confirm.
- Comment on Microsoft mandates a return to office, 3 days per week 6 days ago:
Oh look! Another navel-gazer unable to feel validated without seeing people’s asses in chairs. That’s gonna be awesome for the introverted type who take the most pride in really great code.
And this unhealthy preoccupation with asses is a bit of a red flag.
- Comment on Microsoft mandates a return to office, 3 days per week 6 days ago:
As per the Dead Sea Effect, they’re looking to shed people without actually making the redundant.
As per the Dead Sea Effect, they’re not going to shed the dead weight.
- Comment on How come butthole scratches doesn't get infected with poop bacteria ? 6 days ago:
I’ve seen exactly one airport bathroom with private sinks, and zero airplanes where I think I can manage that.

But unless the TP turns red to signal you’re done, how do you know? ;-)
- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 1 week ago:
Neither. Both have fundamental issues toward confident updates and validation of software, speaking as someone who used to run the security response for an Enterprise OS vendor.
I’m looking at CloudStack now, and it’s got some promise despite one odd glitch. I may try to stick with it .
- Comment on ICEBlock handled my vulnerability report in the worst possible way 1 week ago:
The server was reportedly running 2.4.57 and the CVE was fixed in 2.4.60, so it’s definitely present in the software.
Overall, I don’t get your point about stable releases and backports.
Clearly. Hint: it’s what Enterprise Linux has done for 20 years.

And it was never not lame. Poor fad, never got to be fetch.
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 1 week ago:
Except outsiders don’t know we have 6 meanings for “sorry!” and one of them is “I’m sorry you’re not better”.
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 1 week ago:
Bump into a Canadian at an airport and you’ll hear them apologize.
- Comment on The planet still belongs to the dinosaurs. 1 week ago:
The boy can’t spell “you’re”. We don’t need to challenge him on the content. Similarly, if the tenor can’t hold the first note, we don’t need to stay for the performance.

Not only that, but no more pick-a-brick in Canada too! Why does my nephew have to suffer because Trump is a dink?
(We’ve tried maybe suggesting he not leave tiny Lego walkie talkies and lightsabers around for the dog to process - like a lab test but not a Labrador - but that’s proven unworkable)
