I just woke up from a nap, and now I’m eating cookies. Don’t have any juice boxes on hand tho; a can of cola will have to do.

The land may become uninhabitable by humans, but something tells me aquatic life will be alright… Maybe no all of it, but there will be adaptation and life will go on.
That’s not to say destroying our ecosystems is ok, just that we’re probably not going to end life entirely.

👋
Most of us run systems for friends, family, even a few coworkers; but there are those out there that sell access to their systems to anyone wiling to pay. This is explicitly forbidden by the TOS of Plex/Emby, and I’m pretty sure Jellyfin as well (haven’t checked that one), but it still happens.
There’s even tools like Ombi to automatically manage and retrieve requests for users.

My favorite one is when you tap something on a touchscreen, the item highlights/reacts visually showing the device recognized your input, but it doesn’t perform the action you tapped on. (it works just fine the second time you try though)
I presed the button…
You know I pressed the button…
I know you know I pressed the button…
WHY are you not doing the thing??

Telling someone that they are the problem is insulting, whether you like it or not.
I agree, continuing to feed the machine is not helping; but there are more constructive ways to express the same point. Help people learn and get comfortable with better solutions, don’t scold them for following what they’ve grown up to know as ‘right’.

Shame on you.
Insults aren’t very welcoming for new pirates.
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 2 months ago:
I doesn’t really make a difference whether it was the actual platform or a higher decision; the end result is pissed off fans that turn to piracy instead of giving you money. Then those fans give you even less in the future. There will always be some that just say ‘fuck it’ and pay up, but it’s diminishing returns.
This bullshit is exactly how pirates are born.

- Comment on Publisher reveals and immediately cancels new Postal game after fans accuse it of using AI generation 2 months ago:
Just to clarify a little bit (I was a little confusing myself):
Postal was developed by the studio Goonswarm. The publisher Running With Scissors cancelled their games release because of the AI claims, and in response the developers have closed their studio, probably due to the financial strain of having your game completely cancelled by your publisher.
“After revealing POSTAL: Bullet Paradise, a title Running With Scissors was planning on publishing but not developing, we’ve been overwhelmed with negative responses from our concerned POSTAL Community,” reads a statement from Running With Scissors founder Vince Desi, emailed to RPS this afternoon. "The strong feedback from them is that elements of the game are very likely AI-generated and thus has caused extreme damage to our brand and our company reputation.
“We’ve always been, and will always be, transparent with our community,” Desi continues. "Our trust in the development team is broken; therefore, we’ve killed the project. We have a lot of good things coming (some you know and some you don’t).
“Since forming Running With Scissors in 1996, we’ve always said that our fans are part of the team,” it concludes. “Our priority is to always do right by the millions who support the POSTAL franchise. We are grateful for the opportunity to make the games we want to play, and will continue to focus on our new projects and updates coming in 2026 and beyond. We can’t wait to share more!”
Postal: Bullet Paradise was once “a timeline-hopping, dystopian bullet heaven first-person shooter with POSTAL’s signature darkly humorous personality”. The project is “no longer available” on Steam, though it still has a page as of writing.
Desi’s statement doesn’t mention which elements of the game may have been AI-generated, or whether they’ve taken any steps to confirm this with Goonswarm.
It seems like the publisher hasn’t done much to work with the devs, finding the true story instead of reacting to knee-jerk public opinions, and has just pulled the rug out from under them to protect themselves instead.
The devs have adamantly insisted there is no AI in their work; and if true, this really really sucks.

Damn, I feel you there. After 5 months of job hunting while unemployed, I took a part-time job (it was all I could find) which has slowed down for the winter. I’m lucky to get 13hrs in a week.
Struggling :(

- Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 2 months ago:
Leaking valve stem, or less likely a cracked rim. A 5$ fix while the tires were off; but more work just to fix on it’s own. If it’s a slow leak you keep ontop of, you may as well wait till the next tire rotation; make sure you request they replace the valve stem(s).

- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 4 months ago:
I’ve not seen one of those in use in the half dozen servers I’d looked at; but I’ve barely used that shit show of a platform.
Regardless, it’s not publicly accessible/indexable and I’m not willing to enter into their new binding arbitration agreement just to look around. (the new ToS)
Discord can go fuck themselves.
