So far I’m fairly impressed with it. I’ll stick to Debian and LMDE for my purposes, but the family computer got a new life just in time for the RAM and SSD garbage.

What a glorious future AI is heralding.

unless, I suspect, like me, you have a thick foundation of rock-solid cynicism that the AI simply will never penetrate

Do we know each other or something :).

Honestly great comment, couldn’t agree more.

Quit reading at:

…AI platform where autonomous coding agents…

But your comment made me go back and look out of disbelief. How does a person get this far down a rabbit hole?

I am still pissed off about losing Force Touch on the iPhone. Haptic Touch is so much worse and slow. I loved using various pressures with good feedback for things that made sense. It was so much faster and more deliberate than the stupid replacement.

It felt like a great step in this direction, but instead of improving, they just shitcanned it for something much worse.

Which religion will he convert to this time?

I wish I had more upvotes. Perfect.

She might be further down the list, but she’s still on it. You cannot accumulate billions and be a good person full stop.

I prefer them medium rare (I am literally wearing an “eat the rich” shirt right now).

Often and increasingly they are not bothering with the discretion part anymore.

I intend on continuing to use it as long as I can with my adblockers, noscript extensions, pinhole and so forth in place. I will keep up the game as long as it can be played, and when I lose, I’ll walk away.

I cannot tolerate the enshittification cycle. I’m happy to pay for services, I’m not happy being frogboiled into having to pay for them.

Yep, this is the culture I keep running head first into as I try to level up my career.

You too bud, appreciate the constructive back and forth. I am not exactly artful with my words all the time. This shit has everyone on edge, my apologies as well for any aggression, emotions running high these days.

In that case I’m extremely glad I’m the obtuse one.

Your initial comment read to me like you were upset about the “double standard” of tuenip being held accountable for his chosen literature while defending the ones mentioned in the article. I thought you were trying to paint the author as a hypocrite for defending some but not all. I really did read it as someone trying to say, “oh yeah, you say content doesn’t matter but then the left comes at the president for his content”.

I’m so used to seeing fascist takes having become mainstream that I’m overly sensitive. Apologies.

Don’t be so obtuse. African studies and Foucault are not in the same orbit as hitler. It would be maybe notable if a public figure kept a copy of “Discipline and Punish” on their nightstand, would be sorta weird nightly reading and would be good evidence that this person is likely to be strongly influenced by or sympathizes with Foucault.

Reading once, studying in school, etc. are a world apart from reading often enough that you need to keep a copy that accessible.

Let’s also look at these specific people. Remind me how many folks Faucault had murdered?

Lastly, let’s look at the words and behavior of these people in context, not just judged by the words he read. I’ve read lots of nasty shit, but don’t act like a nasty shit. Tuenip has read hiter and now we have concentration camps, imprisoning and denying food to American Citizens.

Nuance is a thing.

Why does someone always post my own thoughts before me in this community?

I just absolutely love this comment, especially the dismissive bit at the end. Damn fine nerding my friend.

Honestly, this factoid is the closest thing to a real Total Perspective Vortex that I’ve ever felt.

Different systems and we both have personal and professional lines we respect. I absolutely know I could but he also freely admits that among people our age it’s hilariously common and those who’ve gone untreated have their own inbuilt strategies.

He’s never short on advice, he’s a good dude.

I have a doctor who’s a friend. He specializes in, and has written papers about diagnosing adult ADHD. He pokes fun at me for my undiagnosed ADHD. Little comments like “gee, I wonder why…” while I’m telling stories.

He sees it. But I cannot get my fucking doctors to even talk to me about it. Whenever I ask about how to get a diagnosis, they just put me on another antidepressant.
