If you want help from a not-insane person about switching from Windows to Linux, hit me up.
If you want the most absolutely fool-proof option, buy a System76 computer with Ubuntu on it.
Otherwise, look up a tutorial on how to dual-boot Ubuntu on your current computer. Expect hardware issues.

🤯 What did I just read? Is that an ad disguised as a GitHub comment on a discussion, generated by AI? This gotta be a new low point ...

Say what you will about Bluesky's Discover feed but at least it isn't explicitly programmed to boost the owner's posts. Meanwhile, Twitter users are going from "haha the default Bluesky feed is so bad that they have to use a third-party option" to "wait, they can do that?"

Every vibecoding software engineer talks about how efficient GenAI makes them *feel*, but I'm still waiting on evidence.
There's a new empirical study and it's not good. Waiting for evidence that GenAI doesn't make things worse in the long-run before I get hyped. www.coderabbit.ai/whitepapers/...

Cory Doctorow : "We need to make tech workers unionized again ... because tech workers that aren't working behind a keyboard, those tech workers, they're peeing in bottles or being injured at 3x the national rate in an Amazon warehouse. That's how tech bosses treat workers they're not afraid of."

I didn't really know who Paul Graham was. Philosophy degree from Cornell, studied painting at RISD, wrote a book about LISP. Sounds like my kind of guy. Went to his Twitter/X account, see hes one of those smart guys that worships money and falls for the rhetorical traps of smooth-talking Neo-Nazis 😮💨

I also love when you're about a third of the way through and realize the whole thing is an advertisement for some proprietary middleware
I love tutorials that are like...
Step 1: clone this repo of a complete web application
Step 2: (with no context) add this line here and this line here
Step 3: ????
Step 4: profit!!!

Insane to me that I will see someone respond to a question on the internet with “ChatGPT says…” because LLMs are fundamentally not a reliable source on any subject. All they have been programmed to do is construct random sentences that seem plausible. They are literally just making things up.

It’s shameful to see US government agencies act as puppets for the right-wing fascists. Hopefully there will be consequences for violating the Hatch Act, but until then click “subscribe” to block these accounts:

Does The Simpsons still start every episode with a perfunctory chalkboard punishment gag? Even though that hasn't been a thing in like 20 years? Are chalkboards even a thing any more?

If you want to guess Bari Weiss's take on any political issue, just assume whoever has more power in the situation is right and then write a condescending rationalization of why they are the real victim.

It's good to know that, even if Trump were to start assassinating journalists and implemented migrant slavery, there's a large subset of popular comedians and musicians that would perform censored acts at his propaganda circus show if they were given enough oil money.

All the cryptocurrency influencers can't shut up about decentralization, so how come they're all on Twitter (centralized) and not on Bluesky or Mastadon (decentralized)? We know why.

I don't think LLMs have 0% utility but with AI infrastructure being twice that of consumer spending, maybe the bubble pops and takes the US economy down with it. That doesn't seem worth it to me.
Wouldn't it be cool if we spent $150,000,000,000 on trains instead? Think of the ROI!

Columbus wasn’t Italian, didn’t discover the Americas and never touched any land that would become the USA
This is how Murdoch media manufactures stories out of thin air to attack Democrats. This is what they do on Fox and plan to do in California.
