  • This is why people keep getting hacked

    Jump

  • I hope I never become so befuddled that pushing one chat bubble icon instead of the other is confounding.

    I don't understand how some people who are ordinarily reasonably smart just turn into subhuman intelligence when faced with a new computer thing.

    My dad is quite elderly and he manages to run ubuntu fine. My mother, on the other hand, gets confused and angry if anything changes at all on her phone or laptop.

    Anxiety around AI is growing rapidly in the US, research shows

    Jump

  • I'm so tired of every job posting frothing at the mouth over AI. "We're ai native" , "we want employees who are excited about ai tools", "agenic workflows"

    Just fuck off.

    Even if all of this stuff was a real productivity increase, who is keeping that extra production? Not the workers!

  • "Stop hiring humans" ad over may day rally

    Jump

  • I see a lot of ads for ai slop on the subway and I refuse to engage with them. I don't look them up. Fuck 'em.

    Sometimes people vandalize them and if I saw someone doing so, I don't know what you're talking about.

  • Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?

    Jump

  • I use nano for quick edits. I don't know more than the basics of vim, and don't do a lot of editing on the terminal so I haven't needed to.

  • Steam Survey for April 2026 shows Linux still trending well

    Jump

  • Still on Linux. Updated to the new pop!_os LTS. It's been pretty good. The new desktop environment has had a few quirks where I had to fuss with hitting alt+enter to get some games appropriately full screen, but generally it's been good.

    Worth it to be free of microslop

    Without a patch in nearly a year, some Oblivion Remastered players have declared it 'abandonware' — and it still suffers many of the same performance issues at launch

    Jump

  • The original oblivion was bad.

    Current Microsoft is bad.

    This is not surprising.

    There are better games to spend time with.

  • Jodie Sweetin Reveals She Received One-Cent Residual Check For ‘Full House’: “There’s no syndication anymore because it’s all in streaming. Who gets paid for that? Nobody gets paid for that.”

    Jump

  • Copyright of that length is garbage. 14 years max. Make new work like everyone else.

    (Or do basic income for everyone so people's needs are met. That's fine too)

  • Nouveau Peasant

    Jump

  • Another way I'm a little insufferable but like... yeah the pandemic and quarantine sucked, but I read a lot of books, played a lot of video games, had a great online DND game.

    Some people just seem so helpless and inept. They'd be like "I just need to see other people" and I'm like please develop some discipline.

  • Plant-Based Mince Now 29% Cheaper Than Beef at Tesco as Meat Prices Climb

    Jump

  • I do a lot of rice and (canned) beans, which is pretty cheap and satisfying.

    I don't have any experience with lentils. My parents never had them because , the story goes, the last time they did my father farted himself out of the bed.

  • New York officials want speed-limiting devices installed in the cars of drivers who get more than 16 speeding tickets in a year

    Jump

  • Cars (well, the car-first infrastructure in most of the US) is already a pretty effective forment nexus.

  • A third of U.S. adults don’t get enough sleep, new CDC report warns

    Jump

  • Stop making people commute when they could work from home. That's hours wasted on top of climate crime.

  • New York officials want speed-limiting devices installed in the cars of drivers who get more than 16 speeding tickets in a year

    Jump

  • Cool. Fuck cars. Take transit in NYC.

  • Assholes who take free html games and repackage them as "premium" paid games

    Jump

  • They could pay people to check, but it's more important that they spend billions on slop and executive bonus.

  • Spotify adds 'Verified' badges to distinguish human artists from AI

    Jump

  • Fuck Spotify. I'll buy albums (drm free, mostly from Bandcamp), pirate, or go without.

    Today is bandcamp Friday, too. Bandcamp passes their cut on to the band.

  • "but human nature"

    Jump

  • It's kind of funny that because most of us are nice, no one just beat the shit out of trump or worse. Assholes are kind of like parasites taking advantage of kindness.

  • CEO pay soared in 2025, 20 times faster than workers’ pay

    Jump

  • Power yields only to power, so yes, that's one option. Ultimately it's going to come down to "Play nice or we're going to shoot you", and it's a question of how many layers of politeness soften the threat.

  • CEO pay soared in 2025, 20 times faster than workers’ pay

    Jump

  • I had a conversation with a coworker a while ago where he was like, "Well I just wouldn't buy the swill milk."

    I was like, "How would you know??

    The utter hubris of that kind of person thinking they're going to like spin up a whole chemistry lab to check the quality of everything they buy. The insanity of thinking that's a good world to envision.

  • Thousands in US to join ‘no school, no work, no shopping’ protest in economic blackout

    Jump

  • I feel a little guilty by not skipping work entirely, but I have the legal minimum of paid time off. So I'm technically on the clock, but I'm not doing any work.

  • Sometimes I make a conscious effort to think about what I would say to someone else in my situation. It's helpful.
