  • That's called the black swan fallacy. "I've never personally seen it, therefore it's not real." That just sounds like cope and projection. You feel like this "loud minority" is preventing you from being so open about your love of AI, and so you pretend like everyone is secretly on your side.

    If you were to get specific, people are generally receptive to very specific use cases, like tailor-made models for assisting medical diagnosis or security analysis of code. What people almost universally hate is the slop produced by generative AI, particularly in creative niches where what these machines produce isn't art but a pale shade of it. Yet, these billionaires keep trying to shove GenAI down everyone's throats at every turn, all the while ruining hobbies (see the RAM/SSD supply chain), livelihoods, health, rights (see Palantir; see who owns these tools), and the planet.

    So yeah, if you don't have a visceral reaction to someone shilling AI, I don't believe you're really that far left. The tools that broadly exist are not the tools of nor for the befit of the people.

  • His push for limited-government concepts is not out of the norm in Texas, a state that has long worn that badge with pride.

    Lmao. As if Texas isn't second after Florida in government overreach, and has been for at least as long as Abbott has been governor. Texas wears that badge as a LARPer, not because they deserve it.

    But the so-called “liberty city” experiment, in which communities agree to lean governments, little to no taxation and scant regulation, never grew into a large-scale movement.

    Yeah, because it's a fucking stupid idea to do it that way. It's bastardized communalism.

    Earlier in his career, he persuaded five small towns to incorporate. At least two of them still struggle to provide basic services.

    Yeah, because it's fucking stupid to do it that way. These "freedom towns" don't work, because Conservatives don't know how, and they don't care to actually govern at any scale.

    The accountability association’s leaders spent most of 2025 trying to entice, and sometimes force with petition drives, various cities and other government entities across Texas to enter into contracts that required them to pay membership fees to the organization and adhere to a set of prescribed accountability and transparency requirements. If they failed to do so, they risked being sued.

    Sounds like mob shit. Pay up your protection money, or else! Imagine being so gullible to fall for these grifters again and again.

    It's 2026, y'all. How long y'all gonna fall for this bullshit? Republicans don't care about you. They want control, and they'll say anything to convince you that you're getting freedom and prosperity instead.

  • Treat an AI like the idiot intern without any references you just hired.

    My company is in the process of pivoting hard to Claude after 50yrs of doing virtually everything themselves and rolling their own versions of already-existing software, and this is almost verbatim how I've described to others what it feels like to use it.

    It feels like cajoling an intern to understand a job for which they have some average skill but zero motivation, and they only want to do the bare minimum, so you spend all the time you could be doing your job holding their hand through basic tasks.

    It's fucking annoying.

  • As an owner of the original Steam Controller that I still use, shut up and take my money.

  • No, I vote they change it to be just an unpronounceable symbol. You know, kind of like the artist formerly known as Prince.

    It's a lot harder to complain about a name change if it's not a name!

  • How you gonna make the good shit without POOP?

  • It would be just fine. You can look at SteamOS on the Deck for exactly that (and I would assume the upcoming Desktop version will be similar). Bazzite in handheld mode is similar.

    Much of the extra overhead comes from the desktop shell and window manager, so anything that swaps out stuff like Plasma or Gnome for something lighter is already on better footing.

  • Nope, but it's a nicer way to say, "Y'all are fucking stupid for caring this much about a name change for software that's free."

    I'd rather let people read between the lines on their own!

  • Also tbh, if it does the same things as before, they could call it POOP, and I'd still use it. The name has no bearing on how it functions.

    Who is really out here getting bent out of shape over a name?

  • A few years ago, I had an acquaintance that was trying to join the CIA. She got several rounds into the interview process but ultimately took a job at Meta (who she was also interviewing with). She got fired in one of the later mass layoffs, but she chose to work there. She knew the kind of company they were and are, and she was like, "They gonna pay me lots of money? Then I'm in!" And look how that worked out.

    There is no world in which these companies are doing anything good, and if you think they are, then you're the ignorant rube they want to help bring about technofascism, and they're fine tossing you into their grinder as meat as they please.

  • There's a way to create aliases to the programs in the containers so that you can run them on the host as if they were installed. Look into the Boxy app (should be able to find it as a flatpak) for a GUI way to do it, but you might also look into nix to set up different dev environments. If it's not already a ujust recipe, look into how you can layer it and how to load up different nix configs for your different environments.

  • Descending into mass AI Psychosis?

  • The correct questions

  • That's essentially what I'm doing right now, and thus far, they still want workers who understand the code. However, my manager has already said that his boss had it compose a few scripts, and he thought he could therefore replace an entire workflow.

    Thankfully, my manager talked him down and pointed out that it still got several nontrivial things wrong and that taking humans out is dangerous when it comes time to push to production.

    But it's concerning to see that the higher ups don't understand what it is and what its limitations are.

  • My company is pivoting hard to Claude for everything, and besides the fact that it's irritating as fuck to use, it has me worried about shenanigans like in this article. For almost 50 years, they've had a "no reliance upon 3rd party platforms for core functions," but since they hired an AI apologist to the C-suite, all that has gone out the window in a matter of months.

    Got me thinking I should warm up my resume...

  • Because there's alternatives. You don't have to use the subway if it breaks down, and people have enough brains to take a taxi or walk instead.

    This is 60 people going, "Fuck, the subway is down. Guess I can't travel anywhere, now."

  • Yes. I don't think I beat Hades until around run 80, possibly higher. You're not doing anything wrong.

    Just keep at it, and like others have said, once you do it that first time, it gets easier. I think the Adamant Rail was my first cleared weapon, but find one that works the way you like and try different combos of boons; think about the effects that might synergize with how the weapon attacks (speedy hits + flat damage, big hits + damage over time, etc.).

  • Stop spreading doom and gloom before the fight has even begun. That would be a good start.

  • Meshtastic does not have the bandwidth to replace the internet. It handles message just fine, but the amount of data you'd need to send for even a quarter of what the current internet can provide would feel like trying to surf the modern internet on a 56k modem.
