I don’t mind it so much on the global news communities since they’re throwing their shit around everywhere but I hate that every community is either US news or US news screenshots at this point

Oh the tiling wallpaper and window manager styling brings me back to /r/unixporn a decade+ ago and gives me a happy feeling

shovels, gold, etc

How is this a meme? This is just American politics

I don’t know any of these numbers what

I reviewed a PR the other day that added new test cases and was +40k LOC. It was the same file copy/pasted >400 times with a few strings changed each time. Guess what “super intelligence” wrote it

Ask an average non-tech person about phones and they’ll only know Apple and Samsung. They can suck but they’re the only company that’s serious about brand recognition and consistently making new generations of phpnes

That’d confuse the hell out of me if i missed a single config line when updating defaults. Maybe we could have a “you didn’t update all the defaults ya dummy” status code that only example.com uses

Don’t quote me on this since I haven’t done it, but IIRC that’s something that you can only do during a fresh install

Bluesky’s thriving furry community started posting their own images of her. Though The Spinoff hasn’t viewed them, it understands some were quite pornographic.

Journalism is dead

What’s the AI policy? I hate even bringing up AI since I’m so sick of hearing about it but what I want to know is that is this just an AI generated project that was generated over a weekend and will be quickly abandoned or does it have active thoughtful development? I couldn’t tell from the website or commit logs

It’s impossible to tell if projects are worth investing time into these days and it kills me inside :(

I wondered the same but after a bit of thought, it’d actually be really cool to build a tiny PC that ran an emulator Linux distro setup to automatically boot inserted disks.

Like RetroPi with pre-loaded ISOs is cool and all but having a physical library of disks you can just pop in is really fun sounding

It blows my mind. How can you attack all your allies with tariffs and literal threats of invasion, start a pointless fucked up war that hurts everyone including those not involved, and then ask your “allies” to hurt themselves a bit more because now you’re feeling the results of your own actions

I hope the only response the EU has to this is to laugh in Trump’s face

saying U.S. consumers and businesses should not bear the burden of global supply disruptions.

lol okay? Half of all Americans voted for this and the rest of the pain being inflicted on the world by their country, so with all due respect (none), they can go fuck themselves

That was a fun user profile to scroll through and makes me want to go back to practising knife sharpening with a grindstone again instead of just using cheap easy knife sharpeners

Give it 5 minutes and they’ll even announce a live action remake of the whole series

I’m being told to use AI more and more too and I’ve managed to get by without selling my soul to it but idk how long I’ll be until I get let go just because I’m not dumping hundreds of thousands of slop code daily. I’ve been hearing more and more coworkers talk about how they haven’t written any code in weeks and are now just checking up on their agents occasionally and it’s filling me with actual existential dread and depression. I’m positive it’ll all come crashing down but if it’s not soon then maybe I’ll drop the career I’ve wanted nearly my whole life and take up farming or something because watching vibe coding infect the whole software field makes me want to shoot myself

I genuinely think I’d have preferred no-code shit to have taken over instead of this because at least that takes some actual thought and effort to use

Another example is like starting a bank and telling everyone they should use you for their financial needs but you don’t have a door to your bank vault. The front door to your bank is also just a single pane of glass with a sign that says “please do not break glass, it’d be bad for our investors 🥺”

Yeah wtf, there’s no humour here, just awfulness
