I just realized my favorite video game genre is “games you can play with a trackball”

I’m a battery farmer— just pluggin’ stuff in day in and day out

LLMs are to AGI what cobblestones are to interstate highways—

A necessary technological advancement, but no one’s out here building highways with the dang things.

It says you probably don't have toddlers at work... that knife is giving me agita 😂

In this way, Apple gets you to *maybe* come into the store, book an appointment, pay a high price— and maybe you’ll consider spending a bit more money to just get a new phone? They’re banking on you to rationalize a purchase decision.

But this isn’t because the batteries last X or Y amount of time and then go kaput. That’s what all batteries do— they’re consumable.

It’s because they’re not user replaceable.

There is a lot of misattribution to planned obsolescence in this thread so I thought maybe adding a good example of TRUE planned obsolescence could be useful.

iPhone and Mac batteries (prior to the last year or two) are a great example of planned obsolescence.

No, it gets worse by new software not being optimized for the old hardware anymore. But that’s not planned obsolescence, that’s just a business deciding not to do a thing which they’re not required to do 🤷‍♂️

“nothing comes close to JS tooling”

now I’ve heard it all 😂🤣

It runs on the AT protocol, and I’m pretty sure anyone can create their own feed

I’m just a programmer bootstrapping a startup

looks cozy, but does it bother you that one monitor is occluded?

(But I use neovim btw™️, so don’t listen to me about this stuff)

Yeah— although dooms philosophy is everything is “mostly” commented off except vim motions and the package manager and default theme

Doom emacs, spacemacs is too slow and bloated

It’s more like that old friend from high school where whenever you meet after a long time all of a sudden you’re saying “mad cool” and “it’s brick out” or whatever other nonsense.

They just changed the “e” to an “r” iirc

i liked my own post

Let’s wish economic hardship on other warmongering countries while we’re at it—

What’s that you say? I live in one? Hang on a sec

God it's been 3 years for me, I dream of the day I make it out of the garage..

Many MacOS alerts telling the user that the disk they attached is not readable by the computer. The alerts must be acknowledged one by one until the user is allowed to use the computer again.

btw, did you know the disk is not readable?!?

2 is called a kebibyte

Probably a case of Apple not giving a fluffers nut about non-apple platforms

You using an Apple TV device or the smart tv app? Literally never had this problem

3 years in with golang, and I’m still tickled every time I get to parallelize something

honestly doesn't look that bad, just like a bunch a mechanics use it

Spider-Man meme with multiple spider-men pointing at each other accusingly

Me using an LLM to evaluate the output of another LLM:

Any community can become an echo chamber when there is no empathy for The Other.
