Hack the planet!

Pair a full size Bluetooth keyboard to your phone

I want switches on the headliner so I feel like a pilot

Woe to the fediverse instance that experiences a Swiftie Tsunami

When movies were on cable they’d at least edit the movie to fit between ad breaks. Modern streaming services have no concern for the content, and will just drop an ad wherever.

I migrated someone running mission critical software off of CentOS 6 this year.

People hate upgrades.

Humans are also bad drivers who get edge cases wrong all the time.

It would be so awesome if humans only got the edge cases wrong.

What if it kills the deer out of season?

I honestly think it shouldn’t be called “self driving” or “autopilot” but should work more like the safety systems in Airbusses by simply not allowing the human to make a decision that would create a dangerous situation.

They can fit a bigger rechargeable battery in the same space as a battery bay for replaceable batteries. Plus it eliminates the waste of throwing away batteries, and has longer battery life than similarly sized alkalines.

I’ve stopped keeping up to date with major releases because I don’t really use any of the new features and it usually breaks my environment so I have to spend an hour getting things to work again.

If you already kinda know programming and are learning a new language or framework it can be useful. You can ask it “Give me an if statement in Tcl” or whatever and it will spit something out you can paste in and see if it works.

But remember that AI are like the fae: Do not trust them, and do not eat anything offered to you.

“If a service is free then you are the product.”

They don’t lobby against free, they lobby against the government providing free. They’ll happily offer free service to rope people into their dark patterns.

Tech makes bubbles because people think it’s magic.

Most of the coolest places have barriers to entry

After five years Vista Windows 11 is finally here

Now that they’ve thrown out the Chevron Doctrine they can just say “There isn’t an explicit law that says you can do that so you can’t.”

I feel like if DHH hadn’t picked Ruby on Rails it and standalone Ruby would be much more popular today.
