Youtube thumbnails say “i promise this is interesting” and its actually fucking boring

this would have been incredible satire about two years ago, but it somehow manages to be a genuine headline this fucking sucks […]

[ai talk] Maybe I should be surprised that one of the first things that AI automated was programming, but I'm really not? If you were smart you would have already known that software development as an industry was wildly oversaturated, even going back ten or so years ago. "Learn to code" as a […]

The tech industry

I'm imagining a hypothetical game in which you are locked in a box and given the ability to communicate (via text) with one other person This person is either your friend, or some adversary who knows everything that you do, with a 50/50 chance either way The adversary's goal is to convince you […]

The Neo is cutting edge? Yeah it's a pretty precise parkour jump I agree

Bad POSIX utility idea: `mansplain` It's like `man` but it only tells you the most obvious shit in the world and treats you like an idiot who has never touched a computer before You would get better results asking ChatGPT than looking at a mansplainpage Worst of all, it just doesn't ever fucking […]

when you bruteforce the session cookie and suddenly hit on the admin token

hey niri fans, do I have to use xwayland-satellite to run proton and wine stuff under wayland I know wine can be forced to run under native wayland technically, but it's kinda miserable and then I don't even know how to force proton to do so in the same way

FireRed and LeafGreen are not just the standard roms from 2004, they actually got the build system working and compiled a new build (with still unknown changes) more than 20 years later! Very interested in what changes they made.

Also the profanity filter always fails which is funny for naming the player and rival because it just makes Oak seem delusional

How it feels watching a YouTube video on a topic you're very knowledgeable about (they're getting everything wrong)

Why the hell is github still a popular development platform even I spent like half an hour trying to switch accounts in my IDE (a glorified text editor having an online account system is perfectly normal, surely) because you can't just log in with a username and password in the command line The […]

good news: a tool just dropped that makes composing music for pokemon decomps significantly easier, so I don't need to work on `vg2sf` anymore bad news: the "SF2 Is Still Painful" series is being cut short

Coldest take ever: transhumanism is a shit philosophy Hotter take: so is humanism

Thank you @freeplay for inventing free software

[okay I’ve got an AI take, is everyone ready] refusing to use LLMs: not purity culture wanting to disenfranchise and dehumanize everyone who’s ever used an LLM for any reason: yes purity culture, jesus christ you’re one missed coffee from doing a terrorism

Instead of defending the use of LLMs for polishing up your writing, we could be advocating for unpolished writing. Blog posts with spelling errors and awkwardly repeated words. Emails that sound a bit less warm and professional because you forgot the preamble of "Apologies for the late reply […]

general reminder prompted by my last (CW’d) post but applicable to everyone: if you’re not part of a research organization with psychology training, a legal department and an ethics board who needs to approve the plan, you’re not “conducting a social experiment”, you’re conducting harassment

Cloudflare's AI chatbot is very useful for what I assume was 100% its intended purpose

[AI / LLM / the Rathbun saga] Taking this post at face value, it’s pretty much exactly what I expected: someone naively “helping” and not anticipating that chatbots in a feedback loop go off the rails very unhelpfully, rather than having specifically instructed the bot to be combative and rude […]

>the left is missing out on AI

[old man complaining] I really dislike when people defend outright bad writing practices with "it's just a typing quirk!" it's not fucking quirky When You Capitalize The Start Of Every Word Like This, it's just hard to read

remember when linus teched his tip and destroyed his display manager because s76's steam package was broken lol this post is a joke btw #linux #comic #blackwing #doodle

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@aburka/116083722260361238 This one is for @retr0id and @foone https://youwouldntsteala.website/editor.html https://deathgenerator.com/

you ever work with an audio format and it sounds like shit and you don't know why, but it turns out you were just treating it as unsigned when it's actually signed I just did that it's fixed now

So You Want To Write An Open Source Discord Replacement Things you don’t need: - federation/distributed systems - multiparty end-to-end encryption - an entirely new operating system kernel specially designed to— Things you DO need: - a user interface that is Normal - the ability to use […]

AI when it needs to speak French

Spent an hour trying to figure out a C bug with incorrect data positioning, only to figure out that casts take precedence over arithmetic This language tests me sometimes

oh what am i saying. of course everyone else is right and it's caused by le copilot le ai le microsoft bad everyone should install U-Buntu and Linux Mints or something

Introducing: a brand new, super fast and easy age verification method Powered by AI (Actual Intelligence) and developed using my CS (Common Sense) degree, this is a 100% privacy preserving age assurance technology, with a false positive rate rate similar to […] [Original post on furry.engineer]

there is still no viable alternative to discord and you are kidding yourself if you say there is

today i learned that if you don't end a C file with a newline, the compiler is free to steal your apes

"Linux port" Its flatpak

Amazon was thought it was cute to call their webservices "the mechanical Turk" after the fraudulent chess-playing robot with a person inside. But these revelations about Waymo, and also Amazon shops... the fact they they hide and must be forced to admit "what we claimed was software is just […]

In C, it's probably easier to parse binary formats than structured text Good strings are one of the things I really miss going from higher level languages to C If C had namespaces and the standard library had dynamically-sized arrays (not to be confused with VLAs), I think the language would be […]

[communism] I'm taking a philosophy class on Marx All I've really gotten out of it is that Marx is not quite as real and cool as I thought he was Marxist philosophy is certainly useful for matters of philosophy, but we haven't gotten to the Communist Manifesto yet so it's hard to really judge […]

Does niri support capturing individual layers If so I'm ditching sway for niri because this has been bothering me for fucking years

being a kid is thinking that interpreted languages are inherently slow and thats why python is so slow. growing up is realizing python just sucks actually
