It is really remarkable how far from grace Metafilter has fallen. Just caught up on it's situation and scene and it's just the worst. A whole community of people who think they're the smartest in the room.

Having a repair contract on another conoany's equipment (a competitor who is antagonistic and doesn't like to supply parts) seems a little silly. But what do I know.

The struggle against this vibe-coded ai-dispatch app continues. Ugggg, also Outlook is being weird about sending emails and SMS in the area is sending duplicates.

The song "A Milli" by Lil Wayne is about Milli Vanilli.

It's fun to troll the internet. All people have to do is stop responding, I'm having fun and laughing because I'm saying silly shit.

The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "this rules, we're having so much fun, you are still not invited to party with us."

"A loser is somebody who takes from others, claims others’ work as their own, and demands more credit for having done so. A loser is somebody who believes work and creation is beneath them, and that they are owed the fruits of labor regardless of their actual contributions to the world."

So, just to be clear, AI = radium. The AI craze is just like the radium craze, we have this new thing and our monkey brains are excited about it but we can't even imagine the dangers because they are currently out-of-context. Cramming AI into everything is like cramming radium into everything.

Wow, Dungeons and Dragons really is loser nerd (derogatory) shit. Nerds just love sucking on boots.

More evidence that US programmers CAN NOT make working programs, not even webpages. Jesus. Literally nothing coming out of America is tested at all anymore. Not even once.

Men are so irrational, it's tiresome.

Seriously though, what *is* men's peoblem with just letting wires hang loose in a service area with no moving parts. There a major psychological phenomenon no one is talking about. Even without zip ties some fucker wrapped this wire around another one to take up all thr slack.

There's a difference between "I can't hear the alarm" and "The alarm goes off so often I don't hear it anymore."

People can't really distinguish thier feeling from reality, someone will feel like an intercom isn't working just right and they'll spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars on techs to troubleshoot a non-existant problem.

I wish d*des cared more about repairability and service loops than gimmicky wire routing.

We hit the point where AI Bros are denying that blockchain was ever a *thing* anyone cared about. AI is totally not like crypto (even if it's the same people) because blockchain was never a thing. "No one thought blockchain was revolutionary, who said that? I've only ever been excited about AI."

We need to talk about how the United States of America can not produce decent or consistent code anymore. It is no longer possible for programs written in the US to be reliable. The only thing the US can do is gamble and lie.

So is Google Maps just straight up not working now or can it not get enough data over wifi to plot a vector course?

Oh my god you guys have to cool it woth the zip ties. I have to fix this shit not spend my whole day clipping zipties.

Really the reason I'm disappointed in the Stokyo Kutter is because of teriffs and shipping it was, like, a hundred bucks instead of thirty. Wow can't imagine why a cheap passive resistive fader died after I scratched with it for a while. I need to actually get a powered portable mixer of some sort.

I have 8 email threads already this morning but I've probably received a dozen emails already. One of them needs my attention.

I have to use Windows stuff for work and I feel so so so so so so so sorry for people who can't/won't run linux. There is probably an entire *generation* of people who have never experienced a good operating system.

OMFG get out of my blind spot people jeez

Man this Oracle shit is fucking trash.

So to recap, the corporation I work for no shit has a Vice President of Lean/Kaizen Promotion, a Vice President of Modern Workplace Technology and a Vice President of Transformation.

I’m supposed to believe he’s getting a ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz when he can’t even get one on his front lawn?

Kinda really starting to dig 7"/45 records.

I lowkey kinda hate how Vestax decks aren't symmetrical in battle position, the platters are offset! Yuck!

Changed my corporate password earlier this week so now I'm just 2-factor authenticating for 15 minutes straight.

[frowns] I think the reason this parking lot (in a middle-of-nowhere southern town) is the way it is is because of segregation. 2 seperate but equal parking lots.

"Listen folks, cigarettes are never going away. They're a technology that is too healthy and relaxing for society to ignore. You might not like it but you should start smoking because cigarettes are part of society." Ha ha I'm not really talking about cigarettes I'm actually talking about radium.

Damn, a lot of y'all being impressed by a certain choreography don't watch music videos made by non-white people huh? Bless your hearts you haven't seen enough choreography.

Someone must have fell off a ladder because corporate is sending emails about them.

I don't go a day without a problem caused by this Oracle AI bullshit.

The thing about companies adopting AI is that it just teaches people like me that AI can never be trusted and always has to be extensively double-checked and takes a whole *team* of people to compensate for the mistakes it makes.

Real radium girls shit going down with AI. MFer's metaphorical teeth metaphorically glowing real bright in the dark.

"I should also say I didn’t bother speaking to any of the actual husbands for this story. I’m sick of hearing from the men of AI. So many of us are." Dudes, I want to be around women and do feminine stuff because that stuff rules. I do not want to have something incorrectly explained to me.

I hope the Ukrainians did take out a lot of Russia's oil refineries. Fuck oil, destroy all the refineries everywhere!

Hey, just checking real quick, with all of these talk of IPOs or whatever I just have a quick thing I want to clarify really quick: Revenue and profit are the exact same thing right? Absolutely no difference between those numbers right? One-and-the-same right? Just checking.

Computer companies be like "this will run better if it had a new icon"

I just put guacamole on waffles.

Good news: it's Wednesday Bad news: it's Wednesday.

Working with an AI to do material-based stuff like scheduled appointments and and repair services is a constant struggle against the AI screwing everything up and a few key humans trusting the AI more than anything.

Damn, Google Maps is wilding out today. Straight up "cut through this dude's back yard, I know he isn't home."

Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

Work: "Because of the new system you must now print out a paper form and fill it out and scan it into the system." also work: "Because of security concerns we can not allow you to print any propriety company documents."

So do you like your sunscreen hot or do you like it in the cooler on ice? I like it both ways.

Oracle is messing up inventory across the company because our Oracle products won't communicate with our Oracle Products.

I hate having to fix things that were never designed to work which were installed in the worst possible location.
