And the globe Earth and the moon landing conspiracies! What about that whole pizzaria blood drinking thing too! Piss all the tax payer money down the drain on stupid shit!

DOGE could report it as money saved and then abruptly remove those line items from their website list.

I’ve met Mormons who don’t consider Catholics to be Christian, which is pretty fucking hilarious.

ETA: Speaking of Catholics who try to cozy up to the right-wing evangelical Protestant movement because they have common causes but don’t realize they are being used… The Mormons are even further up the enemies list of the right-wing Protestants than the Catholics. And they too don’t seem to be aware of this. Basically if the likes of MTG get their wish to crush gays, trans, feminists, atheists, and liberals under their boot heels, they will turn on themselves. Starting with the non-Christian religions, then the JWs, then the Mormons, then the Catholics. They will go with the lowest hanging fruit.

Is he past the 1 Scaramuchi mark yet?

Must have been that greasy Samsquatch!

Not if you’re willing and able to pay an arbitrary $30 a month extra. That lifts the oh-so essential data cap. Yeah… fuck Comcast, or whatever they are calling themselves this month.

I’ve found the same thing.

Whenever I ask an LLM for a pointer, I end up spending just as long (if not longer) refining the question than just figuring it out myself it’s doing a search on SO it in other online resources.

But even the IDE integration is getting annoying. I write a class with some functionality baked in, and the whole time it’s promoting me with a shit load of irrelevant suggested code. I get the class done, then I go to spin up a unit test. It knows which class I’m trying to create a unit test for, which is cool. But then the suggested code is usually completely wrong or it’s much more convoluted than it needs to be. In the latter case, the first several characters of the suggested code is good, but then there’s several lines after it of shite. And hitting tab injects all of it in, which then requires me to delete it all. So almost every time I end up hitting escape anyway.

I’ve heard a few people rave about ‘vibe coding’ - usually people with no or little programming experience. I have to assume that generated code was either for very simple atomic actions and/or it’s spaghettified, inefficient garbage.

Wait… You guys have all been playing video games all day?! Well damn it!

When you’re rich they let you do anything.

Krita is my graphics app of choice these days. But there are many alternatives that are great (like Gimp and Photopea).

This guy is such a massive waste of space. 9 times out of 10 when he’s asked an economic question, “I don’t know” is his answer. And then the few other times he says shit like this, which also isn’t helpful.

Yeah. Most recently it was a shitty site that looked like it had been built in 2000 and I had to use to pay an EMS bill: services.webillems.com

Tried several times on Firefox and it wouldn’t let me proceed with the payment. It kind of acted like it had. But when I called them to confirm they said it never went through. Tried multiple times with the same results. So I then tried on Chrome and it went through first time.

There’s have been others too. But like I said before, it’s rare. But annoying.

It’s down to these sites using stale, poorly-written legacy code and/or never being upgraded.

I’m really not. I use Firefox 99.5% of the time (I need to switch to Librewolf). But there are some rare occasions - usually shitty old billing websites - where Gecko simply does not work due to said shitty old website. Not paying those bills is an impractical solution. Having a fallback for those rare occasions isn’t unreasonable.

Vivaldi and Librewolf are good recommends. So good call by the author.

I wish I could completely ditch Blink based browsers for Gecko ones, just because I dislike how dominant Blink is thanks to Chrome. But some sites don’t render correctly on Gecko. So a fallback is needed.

Edit: I haven’t used Vivaldi in a long time, and apparently it’s not what I thought it was. Are there really no outstanding open source Blink-based browser out there?

Of, it’s that asshole who said it. Yeah, not at all surprised.

I’m going to pull out my crystal ball and predict this for some time in the next 4-6 days:

Don Bacon: My support for our heroic, genius, virile President is unwavering. And I completely support his decision to fire Haugh. And it has absolutely nothing to do with a recent threat to primary me.

Ohh right. They are (or at least used to be) run on a multilevel marketing strategy.

The ‘states rights’ argument is so superficial. I have no idea why anyone still believes it. The Republicans have shown time and again that states rights only apply when it fits their agenda. And that they will use it as a convenient puppet during election cycles to do gullible voters, only to renege on it as soon as they are back in office.

I’m sure the mild finger-wagging he gets will really make him reflect on his mistakes. /s

I swear, every time this guy is in the headlines it’s for increasingly stupid noob security mistakes.

I’m expecting a headline in a few days saying “Mike Waltz falls victim to Nigerian Prince email scams on a daily basis.”

The remarkably calm kid near the top of the painting who is being eaten by two dragons: “Well, I guess this is my life now. Oh well.”
