I guess this is as good a time as any to remind people that

if you only know how to contact friends through a single platform, you're liable to lose touch with them sooner or later.

Give them alternatives. ANY alternatives.

Any single place can just blow up overnight. And if something is starting to smell like a brewing dumpsterfire, that SHOULD be a clear sign.

deliberately choose inefficient methods
for updating their sites. They write
HTML by hand, upload files directly
via FTP, or maintain static sites that
require manual intervention for even
simple changes. These choices would
be considered backwards in a
professional context, but they serve
important psychological and creative
functions"

PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?

Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example

Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!

This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.

bunnies r so awesome cuz sometimes they move like theyre in a source game U can see them c tapping while they hop sometimes Im convinced they know how to jumpbug

Carefully cutting down my JavaScript, optimising my CSS, minimising my HTML, configuring preloads, tweaking caching, and manually shrinking images to hit a good balance of size and compression, then opening a new tab to be hit by a megacorp’s 40MB hero video.

what OS would be used in a post apocalyptic environment? I have 2 candidates:

- NetBSD: Because of course everything can run NetBSD so it's perfect for post-apocalyptic computing.

- CP/M: It's back! — Its simple enough to be implemented by any hardware and it would allow software inter compatibility.

- Some Linux distro: Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, Alpine... This is the most likely answer

Windows would require too much electricity to run, even if it is Windows on arm. New MacOS would be useless because they would only run on M chips.

It needs a somewhat beefy storage drive (a dozen or two terabytes), but that's entirely within reach of a hobbyist.

it's honestly really sad that my rule of "avoid anything that has a (mirrors don't count) github repo" actually is right most of the time

every time i try llm autocomplete and have it be useful it's always shit you can create reasonably useful heuristics for that work 80% of the time with way less resource use which is pretty much the success rate of the llm anyway

like. pretty sure you can make an editor plugin that detects you replacing a space with a ", " and offers to do it for the rest of the string for you.

pretty sure there are already ides that let you mark a method as async the instant you write an await inside them, just the UX isn't a simple tab complete

"why do only cis men do amateur radio" probably because there's a list of every person who does it with their full name and address published internationally mandatory by law

A scene from King Of The Hill where the main character, Hank Hill (labeled "furries") is in his garage, angrily yelling at a raccoon (also labeled "furries") and waving a screwdriver as the raccoon makes a mess of his workbench. The closed captioning at the bottom says, "YOU FURRY BASTARD!"

Remember, kids, big AI companies are run by billionaire fascists with the explicit aim of creating a machine god, no matter what the effects for the actual world here on earth where LLMs can't become gods, but financial crashes can ruin billions of lives.

If you use commercial AI tools, people will judge you for it because you're choosing to help evil push us further towards the economic crash of the AI bubble bursting.
