Morbid curiosity makes me want to see the Theranos crazy lady movie, but I won’t be upset if I never do.

I have zero desire to watch DC movies.

My cubicle is a desk in my house that I get to at 10:30 and leave at 4:30. If I need to take a crap, no one bugs me and I can use my own terlet.

Life is a joke but I refuse to work in an office, and I’m gonna spend as little time possible working because I’d rather be doing literally anything else.

I’m suddenly reminded as to why I went Vue years ago and never looked back lol.

Work has forced us all to adopt it, so everyone did. It was either that or suddenly be the slowest person at work, which eventually gets you canned. People will evangelize all day long about how they refuse to use AI, how it’s dog shit, etc. Meanwhile I’ve managed to dial in my AI workflow so that it never deviates from our code standards, it never tries to invent its own components or styles, and I still manage to review it with experienced human eyes. It’s the reason I can start my work day at 10:30am, walk away from my desk at 4:30pm and still be well ahead of schedule. I’ve malicious-compliance’d the fuck out of my job, it has made my life easier, and I don’t give a fuck what some nerd still devoted to the “art of code” says. We live in a capitalist hellscape and I’m a survivalist.

With all of that said, I’d still wipe this capitalist shithole fever dream of a tool off the planet because I’m tired of data centers and AI companies fucking up the entire industry, the planet, and people’s lives. I’ve already witnessed firsthand what it did to my industry and I’m lucky to even still have a job (especially one that pays as well as it does—it helps to be in the industry just shy of 20 years).

My *arr and SABnzbd stack goes brrrrrr 🏴‍☠️

More folks need to get comfortable with the block button. I have a list of users blocked for being shitty, but there sometimes seems to be this weird mentality that blocking users instead of debating them is weak or something.

I’m one dude paying out of pocket to have a tiny instance (up for 3 years now) on the web that anyone can sign up on. No shareholders, no ads, no requests for payment or donation, no data hoarding or selling. With all of that in mind, people still won’t leave social media and sign up. They don’t actually know what they want because doomscrolling has them hooked. It would be fine if they deleted their accounts, signed up for nothing else, and went out to touch grass. But they won’t do that. They’ll, at most, ditch it for like a day or two and then go right back to old habits.

Paris is burning yet again because the working class is pissed off. The most the US will do is Go VoTe. We have zero self-control or drive here.

I have a friend that uses this picture all the time. So much so that someone made the exact cake for him once.

The climate control uses the WDD80 approach — windows down, drive 80.

I’m so mad that I can’t find my old 80gb iPod.

The authoritarianism pattern is sweeping the world right now.

The annoying part of this is that any good UX person will tell you not to keep changing things around, but they get overruled by MBAs and shareholders.

That’s a pretty dumb thing to post. The people I usually see posting pics of themselves with guns are righties.

Neither my wife nor I post photos to social media, and we almost never have people over. If we do, it’s usually folks that are equally disconnected from social media as much as we are (we have a tiny friend circle). But I’m also aware that we’re among the minority here. I deleted all of my social accounts years ago, so the tracking network for me has reduced quite a bit, but it will never be 0 in this day and age.

A CCTV setup with Tailscale is what I eventually want. Right now I don’t have anything.

The cops would still need a reference photo to compare to though and they aren’t getting into my house for that shit. Getting in is easier when it’s a rental property because a landlord holds the keys.

Tech bros and cops can’t put a stop to their constant spy kink. This only seems to affect properties with public listings to source photos from, but if you have any sort of cloud-connected cameras in your home, get rid of them now. I guarantee they will use those cameras the same way to compare against archived realtor listings.

It’s stupid because it blinds people to the fact that Russians are working class just like we are, and just like Ukrainians are. Lumping them altogether with their shitty leadership and governments is not ideal.

Yandex is just web crawlers like the ones Google and many other companies have. Perhaps that server housed their bot farm shit too but who knows. The drop in Yandex crawling is proven with data, but the rest of this is just speculation and assumptions based on perception. It’s anecdotal.
