“Yeah, I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3.”

“…and I love it! Hell I’ll vote for it again!”

This is the most amazing post I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, I’ve got something to add. The ruling class will use LLMs as a tool to lay off tens of thousands of workers to consolidate more power and wealth at the top.

LLMs also advance no profession at all while it can still hallucinate and be manipulated by it’s owners, producing more junk that requires a skilled worker to fix. Even my coworkers have said “if I have to fix everything it gives me, why didn’t I just do it myself?”

LLMs also have dire consequences outside the context of labor. Because of how easy they are to manipulate, they can be used to manufacture consent and warp public consciousness around their owners’ ideals.

LLMs are also a massive financial bubble, ready to pop and send us into a recession. Nvidia is shoveling money into companies so they can shovel it back into Nvidia.

Would you like me to continue on about the climate?

Ever work in an enterprise environment? Sometimes a single talented developer cannot overcome the calcification of hundreds of people over several decades who care more about the optics of work than actual work. Documentation cannot help if its non-existent/20 years old. Documentation cannot make teams that don’t believe in automation, adopt Docker.

Not that I expect Sam Altman to understand what it’s like working in a dumpster fire company, the only job he’s ever held is to pour gasoline.

The robots are there to replace the apologetic delivery driver, not the rich asshole. They’d never let that happen.

Bots can just as easily be programmed with an address blacklist. At least a delivery driver with a spine could choose to ignore that list, if his livelihood wasn’t on the line…

Little bugger

So the cats were in the bathroom, with no one else inside, with the door closed? Cats are flexible sure but I’ve never seen one get under a door jamb.

Critikal created a great tribute to his mentor on YouTube, should go watch it. RIP

The flip side of that same coin is that, IME, fediverse developers champion data privacy, anonymity, and decentralization. These developers believe that users should never offer that much personal data to one platform, so they build and advocate for platforms that don’t require that data. Building a lowercase-f facebook on the fediverse would betray that foundation.

How did you know who it was??? :P Thank you!

It’s a Jeep thing.

I was going to reply “at least the burning of Alexandria was an accident,” and then I thought to look that up. Seems egotists destroying public collections of knowledge is just baked into humanity. We’ll never be free of its scourge.

That’s journalism right there.

I don’t know, I think a rag calling itself Windows Central might have a bias towards Microsoft…

Even the tone of the article sounds like their arms are tired from carrying their water.

One thing after another, Microsoft is forced to respond time and time again to ongoing rumors that it’s leaving the hardware space.

A new Xbox rumor started this weekend that’s now blown out of proportion, as usual.

Can you bitch any harder?

I agree with all this bullets and would love to add one more: the Linux user experience and community. You have to accept that your operating system will be an ongoing project in and of itself, and that the Linux community is not newbie friendly and has a lot of troubleshooting deadends.

Linux on the desktop still isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. I can’t imagine a phone being any better. I still had to sneakernet WiFi drivers onto a laptop with a new Linux install, this year. Same shit I was doing 15 years ago.

They took your headphone jack.

Are we talking the nebulous They, the royal They, or do you mean “Android took your headphone jack?” Because uhh,

Just the ones run by fascists and grifters. RIAA is here because discord is popular and not indexable, not because discord is somehow uniquely suited for facilitating piracy.

I’m not allowed to say “huh, would ya look at that?” Calm down.
