“AI is going to take our jobs!”

AI:

Raised at last!

(I deem this the perfect flag for the Actual Libertarian Movement, composed of those of us disdaining both rightist sociofascism and leftist econofascism. And, increasingly these days, vice versa.)

programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like

"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.

See why Microsoft, OpenAI and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."

and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is

love how every invidious instance has started becoming really unreliable. it's only a matter of time before youtube "accidentally" deletes hundreds of thousands of hours of the least-profitable videos it currently hosts

I wasn't surprised to learn that someone proposed a unit for reciprocal of resistance to be called the 'mho' (ohm backwards).

I was suprised to see it proposed by Lord fucking Kelvin in 1883.

He even suggests to play 'ohm' backwards in a phonograph to work out how to pronounce it.

19th century physics shitposting.

SunOS 4.1.4 says it can't possibly be the year 2023: "WARNING: preposterous time in filesystem -- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!"

sorry SunOS, there's nothing i can do to fix 2023.

Jesus' sermon on the mount.

Ah yes, the three genders...

If you're still using Chrome for performance reasons:
- Firefox is now faster than Chrome out-of-the-box
- Firefox uses less memory than Chrome
- Contrary to Chrome, Firefox does not restrict Ad blockers, which will make your browsing experience much faster (and safer).

I often think about this scene from Patrick Farley's great web comic The Guy I Almost Was.

It was a reference to the Mondo2000 era but seems baked into the DNA of the modern web

Serious question, boost for maximum responses please? Trying to learn something here

Would you be worried that someone was trying to scam you or was fishy if they didn't use a Gmail address for their email? For example, they used Yahoo, Tutanota, Proton Mail, etc?

wait red hat wants to take rhel closed source? it's linux, shouldn't the GPL make that impossible?

i'll have to dig into this; there are certainly mechanisms for code sharing that do not involve dynamic linking (like message passing & interrupt service routines) but i'm struggling to imagine a code-sharing mechanism based on linking that's not a variation on dynamic linking (even if it's static linking plus a kind of emulation of dynamic linking)...

When faced with a poll with a joke answer, do you tend to answer with the joke answer? (please reach for boost!)

absolutely losing my entire mind at this web site that decided to take their irritating distracting "chat with us" popups that no one ever asked for and make it *fucking bounce around like the fucking dvd logo* what the fuck is happening

I wrote some software¹: git-backdate allows you to change the dates on a (range of) commit to a given time frame. For perfectly good reasons. 😇

Includes flags to keep the commits inside of or outside of business hours. Also for perfectly good reasons. 😈
