Good to know your fascism gets expressed as a web browser choice, I guess.

That is absurdly fucked up on the recruiter’s part. Your response was a good one.

I won’t replace it unless it’s needed. And that includes data security reasons. If my phone stops receiving security updates, I buy a new one. Trying to sort out identity theft is not worth being cheap over.

I’ve always thought it’s a little crazy to buy a new phone on a schedule. Like some people do every year or two. That’s expensive and terrible for the environment.

Not getting a single security update for over 3 years puts you uniquely at risk to have your personal data stolen. I had that same phone and upgraded for that reason. Identity theft is a horrible thing to have to try to deal with.

I always have a day once in a while where I feel like I don’t have time to do even the most basic things I have to do. And I’m not a particularly busy person, it’s just something that is bound to happen once every couple months.

Yeah, I think it’s weird how people need to think in such a binary manner. AI sucks in almost every way and it can also save you time as a quick auto complete in an IDE. You’d have to be an idiot to have it write big blocks of code you don’t understand. That’s on you if you do it. If you want to use it to improve productivity, you should just let it write a few lines here and there which otherwise costs you several seconds if you didn’t. When it comes to refactoring, I’ve found GitHub copilot helps a lot because what I’m doing is changing from one common pattern to another, probably even more common pattern. It’s predictable, so it usually gets it fairly right.

If it were really artificially intelligent you could just describe a program and in seconds get a nearly bug-free, productiom-ready app. That’s a LONG way off, if it ever happens. People treating LLMs like they are actually AI is the issue. Stop misusing the tool.

Use judgement, people.

I don’t have kids but there’s not a chance I could play games every single day for more than a couple months even if I made it a goal.

What in the absolute fuck is this shit?

Jesus Christ these tall image reposts make me want to gouge my eyes out

15 years too late

This is a terrible picture for anyone actually trying to understand the quantity of fries there.

That’s what people thought of it though. I don’t find it interesting at all

It’s history’s most boring meme, Loss. Why is it significant? Well some dude posted a webcomic without realizing how cringy it was. Now people will post references about it until the heat death of the universe because apparently something about how severely uninteresting and insignificant it was is thrilling. Or something.

They are Nazis and anyone saying they aren’t at this point is a Nazi apologist and should be treated the same as a Nazi.

People who don’t understand anything should actually just not say anything. Blocked.

There’s nothing empathetic about telling strangers heroin isn’t all that harmful

I’m definitely there! I just remember the bad times I had a few times when I did succumb to that pressure.

Yup, and those are the people pressuring the 90% who don’t to come out anyhow lol

I’m so glad that my partner and I just stay in and enjoy each other’s company with some drinks. Going out on NYE is absolutely god awful.
