- Comment on Steve Wozniak says he's "disappointed a lot" by AI and rarely uses it 6 days ago:
A group at the web dev team for my company started a Dev Club to meet on Zoom to discuss code info and showcase dev work from them and other dev teams. Being a sysadmin scripter, I wanted to join to get experience in professional dev workflow as a creeper in the shadows. Then genAI code helpers happened and the guy leading it, the senior web dev at my company, started to use Claude and other genAI tools. Now, that’s like all they talk about and showcase. Like 2 or 3 devs decided to outsource their thinking and now that’s all the convo is about. Not even about their stuff, but leading genAI developments.
I stopped attending the monthly Zoom meetings. Not sure how many in there are into genAI, but since it wasn’t my bag, I didn’t want to say anything and just declined the recurring calendar event. Maybe I’ll start my own dev club with blackjack and hookers!

You pay more at the pump, but we likely pay as much, just through constant oil subsidies. Without those, we’d be paying more per gallon at the pump. This way, even those who don’t drive still pay for oil! Capitalism!

Silly ones like keyboard colors and predictive text outside of like the first 3 or 4 words. Those were the two I hit before paying for it. Their trial is pretty good. Seems a lot of the paywall features are convenience, not necessity.

I feel this in my very creaky bones! I, too, have fond memories of playing EverQuest on a 56k modem and thinking how cool it was that I could play with people from all over the country and world. At least until someone picked up the phone and got me killed mid-fight! Ted wasn’t all that right with his choice of targets, but his assessment of our broken system back then was spot on, I agree. I wish technological improvements since those days didn’t come with the side of techno-fascism that we see today.

It’s called TypeWise and takes a little to get used to. However, for someone who absolutely hates digital keyboards, I like it the best of any digital keyboards I’ve used!

You are me. I am you. Old enough to be burdened with the memory of a world before the internet, doomed to watch the death of freedom because of it.

If you want to order a list that would otherwise be alphabetical, use numbers before the name. I do that for Steam categories, as well as other places like dropdown lists where I can control the content of the list but not the ordering of its display.
- 01 - Horror
- 02 - Loved
- 03 - Good
- 04 - Alright
- 05 - Needs more play
- 06 - Unplayed
- 98 - Disliked
- 99 - Hated
Doing this has helped me stay sane in some situations!

My FiL gifted me an art calendar from 1998. I was confused at first, then he said the calendar days of 1998 are the same days for 2026. So now that’s a thing we all know now!

The latter. She was loathed by almost everyone. We had a new FTE position open and a student hire (higher ed) applied and got offered the position. He was a fuckin’ rock star at this shit. Real personable and great at tech?troubleshooting.
He had a 1-on-1 with his Team Lead, who was cut from the same cloth as the interim director, and asked him how he felt things were going in the department. He laid out thoughtful points of ways things could change to improve morale, didn’t even mention the interim director or blame anyone for specifics. She didn’t like this new hire telling her how things could be better and he got fired by the interim director. Since he was a new hire, he was on probation.
It was fucked. Dude had been a student worker longer than the interim had worked in her previous finance position! She probably would have fired me had I been on probation as well!

At my company, at the first position I held, I was an FTE at a help desk. Management thought it was a good idea to mix it up and put people in change of units that were outside the expertise of those holding positions. Some shitty lady from finance, with an MBA, became our boss. She had this sort of mentality about time.
Previously, I’d stay until the job was done and not think anything of the time I was losing. I liked my job and helping people. She decided one day, when I left about 15-minutes to make a doctor appointment across town, that I had done something wrong and needed to work my entire 7.5-hour shift. She wanted us to note everything we did and document it for her review.
She fucked up. To comply, I wrote a program to track when I locked and unlocked my computer and log it with date time and show the running total of the time worked per day. I stopped staying late. I stopped returning from lunch early if I knew we were busy. People stood at the counter waiting while I finished incidental things at the end of my shift to prevent any late departures. I made sure to never leave early, but I never stayed late or took walkups near my 7.5-hour day.
Malicious compliance is my favorite kind of compliance!
