Never will understand old folks, "being proud," of someone having to endanger their life UNNECESSARILY to go to work b/c they're too stupid to close when the store is buried under a foot of snow in a state that never gets that much snow.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

AI is shite. How do I know?
I've had a long-standing problem with music streaming services...
I have a "liked," catalog of 8K+ songs and the algorithm plays the same 18 songs over and over when I ask for a random selection from my library.
AI reduces the number of different songs played by half.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Stop asking me if I like your app while I'm using it.
I'm USING it.
There are always other options. If I like them more I would use them instead.
If you interrupt normal usage to ask how I like using it, the feedback is ALWAYS negative. Always.
