“He was asking for it”
Now, was that sarcasm or not? hehe. We’ll never know.

There are plenty of tool for that. And, for that matter, “making an account” for gemini means having used gmail/youtube/anything vaguely google related in the last ten years. I’m pretty sure lazy people are already there.

That is what I thought I said, yes.

fine tuning the prompt until it is perfect.
hahahahahahahahaha

What effort? I can open gemini and type “give me a shitpost meme about being angry for something random, you pick” and get a picture. I don’t even have to think about what it would be. The part that requires the most effort is copy/pasting it here.

You think 1990 where a time of full consent and awareness about other sensitivities? Oh boy.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 1 week ago:
The awareness is relatively recent. “The woman place is in the kitchen” is not an old thing.

think about the wild and unnecessary risk they’re taking and how they’ll regret it functionally forever
hmm what? Unless I missed a very big part of this, you’re not dropping a percentage of your soul when you have sex, it usually conclude with a good shower, and if you were not cautious at all with protection, a pill.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 2 weeks ago:
I’d say a larger part of the population being aware that they can reject “unsolicited requests” is a part of it.
Also, it requires meeting people to some extent. That sounds boring.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 2 weeks ago:
It’s been tried a bit before, but didn’t get through. The current situation with secure boot is worrying, because we’re one manufacturer playing ball away from it to become a reality.
I’d like to say there’s strong incentive to not do that, but it seems that logic alone would not stop this kind of push. And weirdly enough, even financial risk might not be enough, as we’ve seen baffling decisions made these last few months.
The main saving graces is that there are more than two manufacturer for motherboard, and as far as I know, patent lockdown and secrecy isn’t as big on PC hardware than on mobile boards, so it might be easier to escape such lockdown. But fully locked down systems under external control is clearly where some people wants us to go.
- Comment on Can you share 2 weeks ago:
The best way to go is a some “a”, a few “o”, a long string of “m”, and write “oh yeah” in the last question.

If your plan is to kill me by excessive exposure to well endowed lesbian female protagonists, you can expect me to endure to the maximum of what is physically possible from the human mind, and then some.
- Comment on this is exactly what copper would say 4 weeks ago:
Sell it to who? Most business must keep records of the stuff they use in their books. A roll of optic fiber this large would cost a substantial amount of money, so using one “off the books” would require some creativity. And I’m not sure there’s much use for individuals for that much.
Copper is interesting because there are business that buys it by weight for recycling purposes.

I just hope they won’t move toward the “oh, you use encryption? Let’s see how it protects you from solitary in jail” step too fast.
And no, I’m not sarcastic, I’m worried.
- Comment on Whatever happened to the blockchain/smart contract 'revolution' we were told about? 1 month ago:
It’s being used for what it’s very good at. That means very little applications (although there are some), on a different scale, and certainly nothing that can promise a quick buck for free. Basically, empty promises just farted out.
Most of the real world usage were bogus, either because they did not actually work as advertised, or because they had lots of negative properties for businesses (imagine a system that would try to prevent fraud if done well… nobody wants that). There’s also the issue that a lot of “funky, interesting stuff”, once you filtered out the bad and the ugly, were just… less efficient, less useful versions of what we already used to do.
There are still people clinging to it (and the recent fuckery in the US might revive that… although for all the bad reasons), but the press moved forward to the next thing.
- Comment on Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp 1 month ago:
And it probably should be. We could even have a set of small plates embedded somewhere for quick swapping on demand.
I like computers, but having an individual computer to run a single drink display really is overkill. At least use one to drive all the labels simultaneously, if you still want the ability to display nifty animations of liquid flowing above the actual liquid actually visibly flowing.
- Comment on Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be 1 month ago:
My next level is going back to that. Not with a huge CRT or a full-blown hifi system, but a nice place with a screen, some offline way to play music/audio, a few books maybe…
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 1 month ago:
React can do SSR, too. The issue is that some sites actually means nothing if not dynamic. It makes sense to have SSR and sprinkle some JS on the client for content delivery, no issue there.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 1 month ago:
Problem is so many websites are slow for no good reason.
Bad coding is a part of it. “It works on my system, where the server is local and I’m opening the page on my overclocked gamer system”. Bad framework is also a part of it. React, for example, decided that running code is free, and bloated their otherwise very nice system to hell. It’s mildly infuriating moving from a fast, working solution to something that decided to implements basic language features as a subset of the language itself.
Trackers, ads, dozen (if not hundreds) of external resources, are also a big part of it. Running decent request blocking extensions (stuff like ublock origin) adds a lot of work to loading a page, and still makes them seems more reactive because of the sheer amount of blocked resources. It’s night and day.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 1 month ago:
it’s not a hard concept, people.
Depends. Webapps are a thing, and without JavaScript, there isn’t much to show at all.
Websites that mostly serve static content though? Yeah. Some of them can’t even implement a basic one-line message that asks to turn on JavaScript; just a completely white page, even though the data is there. I blame the multiple “new framework every week” approach. Doubly so for sites that starts loading, actually shows the content, and then it loads some final element that just cover everything up.
- Comment on PSA on privuhcy 1 month ago:
Call me back when the experience as a content creator is not a nightmare, the experience as a user browsing for content is not a nightmare, when it can handle the load of an even moderately popular video.
The issue with streaming video online is not a technical one; making a “clone” of youtube, anyone can do so (and indeed, peertube exists). The issue with streaming video online is that if it gets traction, you need a lot of bandwidth and processing power to make it available when it needs to be available. One-two instances and “hopping P2P picks up” does not cut it.
And, as usual when anyone says anything bad about peertube: the idea is great, but almost by construction it lacks whats needed to be a valid replacement for centralized, yet HUGE existing platforms: traction, and a truckload of CDN-like instances that can handle the load. If someone putting highly anticipated content online could just “put” their video somewhere and send a link so people can watch it, immediately, and without issue, some would likely do so. Unfortunately, we’re very far from that yet.

Sure, because it’s super fun to parse a path with multiple keypair that can be repeated, be non mandatory, etc.
Developers are known to enjoy whipping themselves all the time, constantly trying to do obtuse things with the wrong tool when there’s a perfectly working, perfectly standard way of doing something that’s supported by literally every solutions under the sun.
/s, just in case.

It’s shitty advice masquerading as something useful and/or insightful.
