claude, move the line half a pixel left. no that’s too far go right a bit. no left a bit. no now it’s too tall

The breaking change in #rustup 1.28.0 is some bullshit. I actually support changing the default, but you absolutely must: * have _at least_ one release with the new command before deleting the old * print a warning for users unintentionally leaning on the old thing * wait 6 months before doing it

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

literally every time I talk to friends

Long persistence green phosphor is a thing of beauty. The deep green color can't properly be captured by the camera. The slow fade of the image when it changes is magical.

FYI: if you were sad that the #illumos manual page site has been offline for a couple of days, it's back up now! illumos.org/man We apologise for the inconvenience.

I think that Democrats should boycott the State of the Union, which is pointless. Instead, of having a Democrat provide the rebuttal, they should bring in recently fired federal workers to describe the important work they used to do.

“I recommend being in the office at least every workday… 60 hours a week is the sweet spot of productivity… I think we have all the ingredients to win this [AGI] race, but we are going to have to turbocharge our efforts.” Don’t fall for it, guys.

anyway periodic reminder that congress can at any time they wish, and should tomorrow, end this

If I had known this was the official Country Over Party I would've brought more booze.

Fuck he's so smart

It is truly pants on head ridiculous that the Rust project has been unable to get both arms around the problem of correctly inheriting the SIGPIPE signal disposition on UNIX systems in at least five years. github.com/rust-lang/ru... github.com/rust-lang/ru...

Due to defective brakes the next train may not stop at this platform. Intending passengers should board this train by Running Down The platform Doors may not be opened!

just say luxury gay space communism. best case we get that, worst case we just get regular dei. never underspeak

Whoever described generative AI as the aesthetic of fascism made a sharp point.

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...

"lol" said GitHub, "lmao"

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

What a great use of AI in the govt!

why do people feel the need to reply to a thread with "here's what chatGPT told me" as if that's some sort of authority. it's like sending me a link to lmgtfy

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Picard programming tip: The first version of any software will be buggy. That's why so many holodeck programs try to kill you.

This is how it’s done.

The year is 2025 and “quiet time on toilet with phone” is the number one mental health technique across America

Just put me on the ice floe already.

Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

Age yourself with the first computer you used.

The first lesson a comic has to learn when they deliver a joke that bombs is not to heckle the audience for not laughing. It's not _their_ fault you're a talentless hack failing to have the desired impact, get it together!

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator
