  • I’ve started noticing websites just to refuse to work on Linux:

    • Xfinity
    • Microsoft
    • United Airlines
    • American Airlines

    It’s not like some weird script error either. It’s straight up a 403 Forbidden on certain routes. Works perfectly fine if I switch to my Windows laptop. It’s like it took one look at my user agent string and decided I was a bot.



  • Prions and population collapse aside, your cannibal population would eventually succumb to simple nutrient deficiency as the human body can’t synthesize a number of essential vitamins and amino and fatty acids. Without any outside food sources, those nutrients would eventually be completely exhausted.

    So if you’re going to start eating people, only eat people who have been a fed a diverse, nutrient-rich diet.



  • I’m a senior dev and I want nothing to do with AI. By the time I understand what I want well enough to describe it in a complete sentence or paragraph, I can just write the fucking code myself. I figure it out as I go.

    The whole point of having devs under you that is to be able to trust them to get the job done and do it right. You want to be able to delegate tasks to them and not have to peek over their shoulder every five fucking minutes to be certain they’re not making a mess of things.

    I seriously doubt AI will ever be able to replace that. Not until they figure out how to make it afraid of fucking up.

    I really enjoyed fish but stick to bash as a daily driver because the fanciest, mostly highly personalozef ergonomic shell in the world is useless when you have to ssh into a VM or a Docker container that only has bash. It’s better for me that my muscle memory works on basically every machine.

    I would 100% volunteer to be the first person to cross the event horizon of a spinning supermassive black hole, just to see what’s on the other side.

    Like yeah it’s guaranteed to be a one-way trip and probably a horrible death, but there’s also the possibility that it’s actually a gateway to alternate universes, and that’s something I’d give anything to see with my own eyes.
