I’m @froztbyte more or less everywhere that matters
one that I suspect will surprise none of us
depressing how Cheetoh & Co. continue to wrecking ball the shit out of everything
(wonder how long it is before the US degrades far enough that other countries start ratcheting up border/traveller defenses, compared to the current ~free rein they have (which, y’know, was owed to years of hard and soft power that the orange man is also rapidly pissing away))
it has to be human tampering.
and of course we all have root on the prompt, where - at will - we can just instantly impose all manner of will on the corporate vendor chatbot. y’know, the chatbot operating in a service structured as much as possible to try to do what the corporate vendor wants to desperately maintain
(it continues to astound me that anyone takes yud seriously, at all, ever)
don’t think I’d seen that before but I shall earmark it for a weekend perusal :)
Honestly it’s probably most things we post

you have so many of these! it’s amazing! are you going to publish soon? it seems like it might need a whole guide of its own!
moderately barbed jesting aside, a serious question: have you spoken with any programmers/artists/researchers/… ? so many of your comments have “part of me feels” parts hitting pop-concern-direction things and, like, I get it, but. have you spoken with any of them? what were those conversations like? what did you take away from them? what stuck with you that you want to share?
maybe that means something like this should be a linkblog/{atom,rss,…} feedsite on its ace?
Being paid 90s tv ad money has to suck donkey nads :<
look if you give them one bit of satisfaction imagine how much extra they’ll go
“give an inch, they take a mile”, etc etc
I’m curious, do you get paid for being a multiprotocol rss repeater?
in today’s world? too many possible answers to that question
read to the tune of, naturally
yep exactly - the plant alone is only part of the infra spend, and there’s so much else that matters too
it’s just such a fucking terrible way of doing this, and it sucks
imagine how fucking terrible it must be to be in this room
(and I won’t lie: there’s definitely a moment that Inglorious Basterds briefly flashed to mind)
ADQ any% speedruns
(A = assholes)
has to? sigh
it makes me so deeply fucking depressed knowing how much near-abandon infrastructure spending is happening. minor win is that power plants can work for other things too, but it still runs headlong into a pile of other issues (transmission network, generation method side effects, etc etc)
holy shit, across 3 comments you did a full distributed darvo
stellar example of shitheadery so early on a sunday!
oh my dearie me, I shall have to clutch my motherfuckin pearls
so it’s been observed by many that github’s been getting worse for a while as they keep shoving copilot into every corner
with the upgrade diff review, I wanted to quickly fold closed the 485 files in the diff. I could’ve sworn github’s diff view used[0] to have a button for this, and I know bitbucket does[1], but nope. so of course I open browser inspector to dig at elements (then quickly iterate over them with .click() in the js console)
which is when I noticed that even the elements are renamed for copilot:
<copilot-diff-entry data-file-path=".cargo/config.toml">
which both makes me wonder my memory is right and this did used to have a button that was just overlooked in the rush for terrible chatbot shit, and makes me boggle at how astoundingly far the org is deepthroating this nonsense
[0] it’s been a few years of no longer actively using github
[1] fairly recently for client work
a banger toot about our very good friends’ religion
