I mean, we don’t want to lie to kids.

If you take such a broad definition of social media, then nearly the entire Internet becomes “social media” and the term loses its meaning, IMO.

I mean, social media should be banned for everyone, not just teenagers. It’s a great evil in the world today, and in a functional democracy that wasn’t braindead, we should ban them outright for the mass harm and destruction they have caused.

That being said, I fully understand that the motivations of countries for these kinds of bans have little to do with the harm of social media and are much more about surveillance.

Nah, microslop is a great name, especially because they throw tantrums about the name. It’s very descriptive of what they have become.

Ever heard of AB testing?

if you sleep at the same time consistently, changing that is a big change for your body. It takes time to adjust a strong routine, and it takes a physical toll to do so.

We have lots of evidence of it causing all kinds of problems: increased numbers of heart attacks, car accidents, and more. It very much is a detriment to society.

Who are these mythical “real chiropractors” that you speak of?

It’s pseudoscience, and always has been.

I mean, it sure is taking a lot of jobs by dumbass execs who think it makes sense to cut a bunch of people off of payroll since they have AI now.

It certaintly can’t do the job by any stretch of the imagination, but that doesn’t mean a ton of fools aren’t bought into the grift and convinced that it can.

Especially because part of the “art” (term used extremely loosely) of using an LLM is to frequently throw out its context (i.e, the input you’ve already given it) because of context rot.

I’d take a fresh grad any day of the week over the slop machines. Fresh grads are great.

That is in no way related to what I said.

Developing a FOSS project does not absolve you of any and all responsibility to not be shitty. In order for the system to work, everyone involved (developers and users alike) should be stewards of the commons.

It’s not actually that hard to get up there. Mechanical keyboard, wired mouse, external drives, headset, webcam, other peripherals, etc. And if you are trying to do anything more involved like music production, you end up needing way more (audio interfaces, midi controllers, etc.).

My brother works for a company acquired by Bain. They are every bit the vulture capitalists bleeding companies into lifeless husks.

I’d be extremely surprised to see $12 eggs anywhere, at least not as the cheapest option. To be honest, it sounds like you don’t actually buy groceries very much if you think that. As of last week at my local supermarket, eggs are $2.50-$5.00 for a dozen, depending if you opt for the organic options or not.

But yeah, this just reads as a flimsy justification for bad habits. Cooking is quite simply cheaper and always has been. It is not difficult to make filling meals for $1-3 a person (staples like rice and beans are especially cost effective), which is far, far cheaper than ordering takeout from anywhere.

Groceries absolutely have gotten more expensive and it is a problem, but there’s no world in which that problem is improved by ordering Doordash or the like all the time.

Isn’t Hyprland created by a fascist?

You do have to install/setup a lot more stuff yourself, fwiw. That’s probably largely what it is, that there’s little that comes pre-baked. It’s basically a build-a-distro toolkit.

Good, maybe people will use it less.

This argument doesn’t really hold up, honestly. That is all easily done with shell scripting, and shell scripts can be committed to source control and shared to other members of the team easily. This is what my team does for our common API needs. It even has ecosystem support in many places, such as popular openapi renderers providing curl command examples for routes automatically, being able to copy the exact request made by a web browser as a curl command from the network tab automatically, and so on.

I use curl for absolutely everything, including testing out my work for each and every ticket I work on. Been doing this for years now. It works great and has many, many advantages over property bullshit like Postman.

This time around, my wife and I simply decided “fuck DST” and shifted our entire schedule forward an hour. No change in sleep for anyone. It was glorious.

Obviously not gonna work when the kids start school, though.

Hmm, sounds like someone that has become immoral and corrupt. Also entirely possible Disney has decreed what they want Pixar to be doing and he’s parroting their talking points.

Either way, sounds like Pixar is in the shitter now, which is really disheartening to hear.
