BTW I see the “but a dumb tv” advice, but what are some dumb tvs in 2026?
I only see smart TVs in store, and I know the side I’d look for signage TVs but I don’t know if they have good audio with a sound bar, or good colour presentation.
Autocorrect hates me, I am sorry.

Study groups are the best part of university.
I learned more in study groups than in some classes, because we’d all hit our heads until someone had an idea, then they had to explain it in a way 6 or more other people understood. Explaining an idea is much harder than thinking of it. Then we’d challenge it, we’d discuss it, build on it, and sometimes we’d show up at the prof’s office door to ask them about it.
It would be a tragedy to see them disappear to closed off AI based chats.


Realistically those oath tokens get sold to scrapers and bots. The suspicious activity goes on your account and you can get an account ban
(don’t know if that bans you from Amazon, but if we were all banned from Amazon, that would be better for the world).


Happy birthday!
Those are some thick game guides, I kinda miss seeing those around
Can we call this American Pi Day?


“We own the glass” is enough for me to never buy an LG again. I own two never contacted to the internet, but Jesus that’s gross.
Might be worth checking artists on mastodon/blue sky under generative art tags.
There are a number, but it’s impossible to find their work because “generative art” has been saturated with stable diffusion slop. Tag search on those sites help
Many share source so you could contact them or run their projects to make your own wallpapers. Ideally, get permission though.


How can AirBnb claim BNB when they don’t even serve breakfast?


Are you sure?
Did I mention we can use LLMs and embedding to detect all dissent on common social media platforms and surface it in a much more sophisticated way than keyword search?
Or that we’ve already built facial hashes of everyone on social media even if you’re not a user?


Oh my god, people have been using AI to write tickets
Every ticket this week was partially or completely incorrect. It is insane.
But the worst part is before I would get a vague ticket “client complained about X”, and now the AI thinks it found the issue, so it writes “Flurp library causes kikiblawv component to flop, Proof: flurps happen based on moon phases, today is Thursday, kiki component has this error code”. At no time does the AI relay the actual complaint.
So I have to reverse engineer the fucking ticket and it takes way longer. Plus, the logic is wrong.
Almost every time I get a human written ticket I can triage without even looking at the code.


Mass surveillance.

Worth a read, because it’s 100% accurate


What’s your desktop environment? Is that a themed Gnome?
It all looks very nice
Edit: it’s in your post body nvm
You gotta do a little something, it helps.
Even if that’s making the bed or tidying up. It feels better.
I grew up in a pizza shop. I have seen pies having sex in every position imaginable. Pizza on mozzarella. Mozzarella on pepperoni. Couple of breadsticks doin’ an olive, couple of tomatoes watching. Whoever drew this got it exactly right.


This is never a healthy thing


You probably said something negative about Arch Linux.


I doubt know what Pixel does for compression but they certainly ruin their photos the second they’re saved. It looks great in the viewer, then even raws look smeary.


Computer says no ticket.
IMO nothing in that comment sounds particularly AI generated.
