That King Arthur movie Guy Richie made is pretty bad, but the soundtrack is killer.

Agreed.

I have a feeling that in order to achieve using deep learning (because let’s face it; it’s not AI) as a programming assistant, AI companies didn’t need to do half the shit they’ve done.

The resources being outright burnt on their endeavours haven’t served any useful purpose. You don’t need data centres covering the globe and to destroy thousands of rare books to assist with code, or find cancer in a scan.

Well, so far Linus is the only person in the world, it seems, that is using AI as a tool instead of a crutch. So I agree with that sentiment.

I keep seeing headlines like this, and of course conveniently leaving out how Torvalds chewed people out for vibe coding.

Torvalds didn’t vibe code away the Linux bug. He actually knows what he’s doing.

I’m using a Firefox based alternative, LibreWolf.

Robbie Williams. Used to love his music as a kid in the 2000s.

You might end up exactly where you want to be, and not want to be at the same time.

Maybe they both have the same answer…

Woaw, never coulda seen that coming.

Sodium batteries work great at large scale (think huge. Like industrial power grids), but really not at miniaturisation.

Lithium batteries work at miniature scale, but suck at large scale.

Since I was a kid I’ve always liked spinach and Brussels sprouts. Never understood why other kids hated it.

Somone scam computer?

I’ve been told do many times how deep and incredible the lore of Halo is, and then playing the Master Chief collection to be met by something that seemed… Average…? For a shooter story.

Gunplay felt distinctly unfun, which ultimately made me drop the Master Chief collection two-thirds the way into Halo 2.

I can recognise it as something that set the standard for what a console shooter should be. Before that was Golden Eye and it was still very experimental.

Halo Combat Evolved is out-classed by PC shooters of its time, and before, and the “good” Halo games are incredibly overrated.

Haven’t used Facebook in… Probably over 10 years.

That’s the same everywhere. Like here, like on Reddit, like in real life, people have ideas and then say “won’t somebody do something about it!”

Everyone likes to imagine doing something but nobody actually wants to do anything.

Anecdotal example; the beginning of this year proved that Discord is in bed with supplying profiling training model data to ICE in the United States. That made me want to nope the fuck out. Why stick around where every word you write will contribute to the ability for fascist agents to shoot their next victim? Tear apart the next family?

So me and a friend set ourselves to build an as-close-as-possible drop-in replacement Matrix server for all our Discord friends.

Nobody came.

Fucking nobody came.

Everyone recognises the problem, but when it comes to taking a simple action, a dead easy simple action like make an account on a server owned by a friend they’ve known for a very long time, all we got were excuses. “But nobody else is moving”, “maybe I’ll consider moving when it gets even worse”, “I just wish somebody would do something…”

So it’s not Bluesky. It’s humanity.

Well, technically Twatter doesn’t want them either. It’s filled with rich pedos, but since it’s technically against their policies, you still have to get banned.

Making memes about how unfair it is that your flat chested little girl behaving immature looking adult artwork is regarded as pedo content is still allowed, though. Or at least was. I dunno. Left Twatter quickly when Elon bought it.

Underaged looking gooner characters. Not a big loss if you ask me.

I find it rather strange you say this. Bluesky was on the receiving end of a major artist exodus from Twatter. With them came all the progressive ideals that they’re known for. A lot of gay, trans, and otherwise queer individuals who are either artists themselves or follow artists they feel safe with. Certainly not the kind of people who are satisfied with the status quo.
