- Comment on Meta is removing its Messenger apps for Windows and macOS 1 hour ago:
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.
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 2 days ago:
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 How to Get Hardware Transcoding BACK on Your Synology NAS 2 weeks ago:
Which case are you using for the hot swap trays?
- 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.
