Fuck ‘AI’. That is all.

Sorry you’re right, number MUST GO UP /s.

sigh.

Oh no. Anyway…

Make Windows 7 again (or just use Linux), ditch AI, value your users. Sack the CEO. Pretty simple.

The only thing I want to know is how to TURN IT OFF.

LLM showed its true nature, probabilistic bullshit generator that got caught in a strange attractor of some sort within its own matrix of lies.

Some say it won’t even be there… wouldn’t that be interesting? (I don’t subscribe to quite that level of ‘tinfoil’, but still …)

Take it out. Other nations should sell US bonds they hold as well. Economic pain, aimed at the Banker Class, will be the only thing that can push out this fascist infection.

We’ll own nothing and be happy! Didn’t you get the memo? First, apparently, it will be too expensive to have access to a personal computer, since that allows processing and/or distributing information which might dispute the approved narrative: hence the global hoarding of DRAM by AI companies. Then, travel will be made impractical, so we cannot organize against, relocate or flee our local governments.

It’s late, I’m spit-balling here, but it seems all too real at this point. I wish I were a multi-millionaire with my own private island so I could just avoid what’s going on. :( :(

Do it, please. Hit the US in the only place The Turd cares about. All nations should sell their US bonds as well, a bit at a time, tighten the screws until bankers pull their strings to remove the fascists from power.

Good story. Reminded me of something I’d read long ago… The Legacy of Heorot. Also about misunderstanding alien lifecycles and ecologies.

A related write-up which sort of aligns with my sentiments on this: https://passo.uno/reconsider/

Ensure PRs have accurate Doxygen before approving merges. That also keeps API documentation accurate, and doesn’t slurp millions of litres of water or megawatts of power. Sheesh.

Good documentation also doesn’t just explain the ‘what’, but the why where it’s important. I doubt any “AI” will do that effectively.

Oh wow, 1.5 million. That’ll totally make up for draining all the freshwater, energy and making DRAM into unobtanium for the foreseeable future /s

The paranoid in me wonders though… can DRAM be backdoored? I’d bet ‘yes’, and this would be a perfect opening to introduce a huge amount of compromised hardware to the world market…

Cloudflare has caused too much of the internet to be centralized under their whims. There need to be more alternatives for DDoS protection; I don’t use any at all for my self-hosted site, but if I ever do, it won’t be Cloudflare.

Thank you for linking via xcancel.com rather than to that service directly. Wish more posters would do this.

Fortran – because helping any of the idiot CxOs who embraced vibe coding will only reward them and delay popping the bubble. Let 'em hang by their greed.

I hope any dev who’s asked to come back and fix vibe-coding demands 3x their previous wage, double the vacation and stock options.

Soldered in, or upgradeable at least? The former would be a huge reason to never buy the newest gen of laptops.

EDIT: Missed in article, yeah this would suck if they stick to soldered RAM for ultra-thins.

Another problem manufacturers face is with notebooks that ship with soldered DRAM. In particular, ultrathin designs would need to be revamped to modify their configurations.

We don’t need/want a huge TV, so we just use a monitor with an external speaker and dedicated media box.

Smart TVs these days are just too invasive to even consider in my home.

Can’t be… No one has ever seen a Grue. Grues hide in the darkest places, waiting to eat foolhardy adventurers who have no light source in their inventory.
