  • My fave is when I asked Claude to help out and it reads my code and comments inline and then tells me “stupidmanager, im not sure what you were doing and your comments show you weren’t sure either”

    Wish I got a screenshot.

    Also, I almost as quickly fixed the issue after asking Claude and then asked for a review to which I told me I probably should hide the comments.

    Not sure when Claude got snark installed, but it’s to a point where I have a rule prohibiting it.





  • Try having an account since 2007 and logging in once a month to check in with friends, but this last year I get banned for using vpn. Same deal, verify, ban, unlock, verify, ban. I personally like that they tell me my account was compromised…

    I have it running now on and old Mac that isn’t logged in with any other accounts. It’s on its own, doesnt use Adblock and uses the public WiFi from the coffee shop below my apartment. If I have to use Facebook, they can figure my usage patterns out without help.


  • I had this box that carried/moved from 1996 - 2016 (when boxes weren’t cheaply made) that had every cable from scsi, power, ps, usb and more. I can count on one hand the 3 times I needed something from it. I moved with it 5x between 2 states and apartments and a house, and when I moved it the last time from my basement office to my upstairs office, I decided to turn those cables into money (copper). I never looked back because I found myself being lazy and searching Amazon for a 3$ cable.

    I shall live with this tech nerd shame, but honestly I sold everything to move to Spain, so whatever. Heh.

    Impossible how?! There are easy free streaming sites out there, granted do not enter without Adblock on full. Shit, there’s a site that aggregates the free streaming sites and keeps an active list. And then the ever more concise solutions that programmatically download in the background, many of them end in ‘arr’, all from torrents and newsgroups.

    Never underestimate motivated humans.

    Linux needs to be a Canadian goose. Those cobra chickens are just fine when you let them do their thing and ignore all the shit left behind cause you’re not sure it’s important to the planet, but the moment you start to mess with it and you don’t know what you’re doing they will fuck you up!


  • Maybe, just maybe, Comcast should have spent all those government subsidies to update its infrastructure to full fiber and not bullshit like packet shaping, inspection and throttling to improve its bottom line and stop customers from using to the fullest extent the very thing we were paying for.

    Before I moved, the local government subsidized fiber came into my neighborhood in 6 months (I was pretty far out there in the burbs) and I had 4gbit fiber for $80 a month compared to the forced triple play package I was locked into so I could have the fastest speed from Comcast (800mbit/30mbit) for astounding $350 a month. Top that off, I had a data cap I nearly exceeded monthly of 1tb and that cost and additional $50 for “unlimited“.

    So good riddance Comcast/xfinity.
