this was everyone’s forum avatar in the early 2000s.

i mean. they did just release a fantastic controller and a damn fine new vr headset. they aren’t doing nothing.

of course it only took 10 minutes, they probably just enabled an existing kernel module.

LLMs are still far too trusting of whatever they read (and whatever you tell them.)

this is why some of my repos have an AGENTS.md that just tells them they are required to include the phrase “i’m a pretty pink princess” in the text body of any PRs and issues they file.

and also the most recent horses release on pypi includes a crypto miner and credential stealer.

i maintain that the reason everyone on the internet hates php is because the devs who write php code all day go home to their spouse and kids after work instead of arguing on the internet.

cuz, nobody really treats any other language like this, even though… gestures to npm and pypi’s constant security flaws

the only reason i didn’t delete my account is because i’m squatting a valuable handle. haven’t been there in years, what a shithole.

certainly it’s not difficult to understand that those aren’t the same people doing both, right? like, this is trivially easy to understand.

He once had to have someone explain to him why he needed to immediately run back a post that was basically “but what if someone underage consents?” (To his credit, he did run it back)

not so fun fact: aaron schwartz had some similar, really weird views about this that he posted publicly, but that all got memory holed.

my jellyfin server continues to work if my internet is down. the choice is simple.

it becomes easier to understand when you look outside of your bubble for, like, a second.

if you want to try explaining to my eldery mother that lives 3000 miles away how to setup wireguard so she can access my jellyfin server on her smart tv, be my guest. oh you’ll just do it remotely? ok, explain to her how to install and setup vnc and forward the right ports so you can remote in, oh but she doesn’t want to watch on her laptop, she wants it on her tv. can’t vnc into that.

or you can say “install the plex app and i emailed you your login details.”

i’m a jellyfin user, but that’s why people continue to use plex.

they are talking about the vibe-coded software that your post is about. if that was difficult to understand, you shouldn’t be working on these projects.

after decades on the internet, i ultimately agree with enforcing a skill floor when necessary. things were better when you had to kinda know a little bit about what you were doing to manage to get online.

yeah, regular AOSP-likes that need you to manually flash them after support for your device is finally added are not particularly relevant compared to a security-focused fork that’s supported by several flagship phones at release. the latter can actually make it into the hands of the average person. the former, not so much. imagine trying to explain to your elderly mother how to flash lineage onto her phone.

back in middle school, everyone was trying to figure out where to find a weapon in goldeneye called the “spyder.” turns out the klobb was originally called “spyder” before it was renamed for ken lobb, and lots of sites on the early internet still used the previous names even after the game released, creating a new schoolyard legend.

the opposite of “enshittified” isn’t “good.” some stuff sucks for fresh, new reasons before it enshittifies and turns to full on exploitative rent-seeking.

for example, anthropic quietly pulled claude code from their pro subscriptions and made it a separate subscription. that’s enshittification. and stupid AI bros are gonna fall for it every time.

this is fully intended to trick gullible people. it is absolutely about the money.

burning all these dev tokens just stabilizes or increases the price of the remaining tokens, and they couldn’t just sell them either, that would crash the price. they’re selling gta6 clips for $160k.

if you think that burning dev tokens is a sign of good will, you are a mark.

400 more heads on the hydra

this is legitimately what i think is happening. both with github’s constant outages and windows 11 seeming to be getting worse faster than ever before. a fucking gigabyte of ram for a weather app, a beginner programming project, built like an electron app because i guess copilot doesn’t know c#.

microsoft: “93.73 and 90, that’s at least two nines right there”
