existential dread at the pump

I think a lot about the graffiti on Buran: "Before climbing to the stars, a person should learn to live on Earth!" but, just one country

Meet me at the XU9J4’s inaccessible ganglion of perennially-leaking coolant hoses in the next 30 minutes if you want an ass kicking.

Pretty interesting chain of logic which, if applied in the inverse, would functionally legitimate airstrikes on everyone in Israel or the US

I think the opposition party widely expected to make historic gains in the next election(s) has an obligation to explain how they'll stop this and prevent it from happening again or it's reasonable to conclude they don't plan on doing those things, which raises more uncomfortable questions

if the moon mission's not your thing, there's a new Angine de Poitrine video!

vibe coding aside, this is not what's happening? generally Claude is used when *writing* code not when serving requests. I hate this shit but also it does behoove you to know how it works.

big difference, imo, between poking fun at Bluesky devs boasting about their use of AI right before a major outage event, and making wild conspiracy-brained claims about a Claude outage being directly responsible for said outage.

It's scary because it's coming from such an understandable place. The rage at AI is not unjustified and "backend systems are just more complicated than that" is such an unsatisfying answer. It feels so similar to misplaced anti-vax anger because of a broken healthcare system.

Yeah I Nikita Bier. I Nikita Few Small Biers in fact.

Mocha loves her Weird Egg (it’s actually a humidifier)

be an intelligent hater,,, learn how to talk about this stuff in a way that represents an actual critique,,,

quite a lot could be read into the way that apps like Bluesky (and most others) confidently tell you to check your internet connection rather than countenance the idea that something might actually be wrong with the server side.

I don't think I could make a joke better than this

wow! feeling very grim about *gestures broadly* today! apologies in advance for the bad vibes

If an Iranian soldier was stuck in the mountains in the US, the UK, Israel, or Germany, & every American or British or Israeli or German boy or man from 16 to 60 walking within 3km of him was killed by drones, would any politician or media call it anything other than murder?

the thought of the shoot-then-cry movies that will be inevitably made about this war makes me sick

finally a site thats difficult to post on and has no group chats, private accounts, or desirable functions. this bullshit builds character.

“Not even a dang cell connection” do you people hear yourselves?

the “brag about LLM code” -> “web service functionality and uptime does a cannonball dive into a tar pit” cycle keeps happening, eh?

Ppallo's Basilisk is a cute little reptile guy. He allows the local children to pull his tail once every summer, producing little fireworks from his mouth. Old people enjoy his company, as his mere presence provides a feeling of serene vitality.

the big reason I'm sceptical about space is that it increasingly feels like a bait-and-switch. We have all these high-minded ideals about exploration and science and Star Trek, but what we actually get is startups polluting our skies and fucking with fundamental aspects of our ecosystem for profit.

I wonder how many Iranians we killed, how many millions of dollars we expended, in order to prevent them from capturing two prisoners of war? if they have any sense of decency they will be haunted by guilt about that for the rest of their days (but I know they won't)

It is obviously very bad that a demented old man is mashing the big red “kill random people” button his desk. But the real problem is that the button is there in the first place.

doing a “husband’s run” (early morning grocery run for a missing breakfast item, because i get to wander the store and get whatever else i want) but committing the “husband’s folly” (forgetting the one item i was asked to get, eggs)

they're calling it the horniest millennials have ever been

every kind of european car has a different kind of insane back-asswards design decision that makes you question all of yr spiritual beliefs and faith in yr fellow man. the key is to find the ones you can put up with.
