I did everything and more thanks to you! I’ll see if there is a community for procrastinators to post their todo lists…
- Comment on What's the thing you're supposed to be doing right now instead of scrolling? 2 days ago:
That’s some great unsolicited advice and I appreciate that. I’ll keep that in mind and add it to my routine. Thanks!

I’m unemployed so I have a billion tasks in no specific order, and no boss to push me to do it:
- order stuff for a non-profit
- write some documents for that same non-profit, they are not organized at all
- clean my desktop
- study
- play the drums
- read non-tech books
- do some bodyweight
- NOT play Steam while drinking beer for 4 hours
I have 4 hours left, it should be easy but being unemployed for 6 months and constantly rejected is making me feel like shit. I’ll see what I can do though.
- Comment on Why do older files tend to have file extensions in all caps? 1 week ago:
It can easily be answered by a simple google search.
- Comment on Guess the game (#009) 2 weeks ago:
3D houses and more pixels, must be something between 1995 and 2000. I have never played that though.
- Comment on How did you guys deal with the death of a parent? 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t yet but:
- if it’s my dad, I would rejoice with a good beer
- if it’s my mom, I would grief for a few weeks I guess

- Comment on could I get an AI to just rewrite any software I want thereby not having to purchase the desired app? 2 weeks ago:
ChatGPT is free. Try it, then come back and we’ll make fun of you.
- Comment on Adding a Sever 3 weeks ago:
It’s not federated on PieFed.social because NSFW, I guess it’s the same on other servers. Make 2 accounts for that, one wherever you want, and the other one on fedinsfw.
- Comment on Is this a scam or am I being paranoid? And if so, what kind of scam is this? 3 weeks ago:
A stranger is sending you free money? That’s a scam.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Goodbye.
- Comment on I made a full Ai Movie Can y'all Review it 3 weeks ago:
Did you write that comment with ChatGPT? Because it sucks.
- Comment on I made a full Ai Movie Can y'all Review it 3 weeks ago:
AI is slop by definition. Also it’s bad.
- Comment on Sony 3 weeks ago:
I hate AI and all that shit, but I have heard a lot of horror stories from developers who worked on “retro” gaming systems (from the Megadrive/Genesis to the Jaguar). I admire them for all the work they did because it was hard to code, but there are a fuckton of bugs that were sold during the good old days, and no one noticed what was happening because those bugs were never found.
- Comment on Sony 3 weeks ago:
Shitty copy pasta with AI-generated picture that forgets that software is patched all the time compared to movies and music.
I hate streaming more than anyone, but that sloppy comparison sucks.
- Comment on Black coffee 3 weeks ago:
Even “long coffee” is darker than this. I guess it’s 25-33% coffee. Infuriating indeed.
- Comment on If it were suddenly revealed that a significant number of questions posted in this comm were ai bots would that bother you? 3 weeks ago:
Yes because I’m not a guinea pig. But I’m sure it already happens and we’re doomed anyway.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Did you ask them?
- Comment on Are products "for curly hair" supposed to straighten hair, make them more curly, or just formulated not to effect the curl at all? 4 weeks ago:
For curly hair: you have curly hair, or wavy hair and want more curls.
- Comment on Game suggestions: Downvote any game you've heard of before 4 weeks ago:
I remember that one, and played a demo on iOS. I’ll have to buy it now.
- Comment on How do I deal with children following me around in video games? 4 weeks ago:
Ignore, block, or BFG 9000 I guess.
- Comment on Have you eat a purple potato? 4 weeks ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_potato in Europe and France at least.
- Comment on Google reCaptcha intentionally failed without telling me, how is this allowed?? 4 weeks ago:
People say Google shows you the results and only need confirmation from humans. The loop happened to me too but I’m sure it was a mix of having a wrong browser or strange IP address.
- Comment on Toothbrush heads 4 weeks ago:
I guess the other guy answered in a wrong thread. What is true is that most embedded systems I have worked on used C++. Could be the same for those electric toothbrushes.
- Comment on For those who are super against to AI/LLM today. What was the catalyst how did you reach to this point? If you have the power to change our current situation what would you do. 4 weeks ago:
It’s destroying software because juniors are no longer using their brain to learn.
It’s destroying intelligence because most people will use it as an external brain.
- Comment on Toothbrush heads 4 weeks ago:
He said that the toothbrush should be developed in C++, which it probably is already.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
dehydrated fruit bits, protein this or that, fiber supplemented cookies
You’re describing people who do sports at work during lunch. Are you sure it’s not restricted to this type of people? I have seen them for a very long time.
- Comment on What do you think about the dead internet theory? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not a bot and I don’t believe you are one. OTOH, AI bots sure are polluting the internet, but I haven’t interacted with one except for the annoying merge requests on GitHub.
- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 5 weeks ago:
Laziness because it is literally their job. I’ve done it a hundred times and I have no other explanation.
