- Comment on Who comes up with Internet Jargon? Like ris or rizz, based, maxxxing, and others. I doubt it's a single person but how does this take a hold in our nomenclature. Why not Dickle or something? 2 days ago:
Vapid tiktok famewhores.
You can see from the ‘maxxing’ [sic] term, since it’s spelled wrong. We’ve had “maxing out” for decades , but 20yo barbies couldn’t know that.
That’s why we downvote that one, for instance, we heckle, and we move on.
- Comment on Why do people lie instead of just telling the truth? 2 days ago:
there is mostly no shame or embarrassment anymore.
We’re increasingly conditioned not to express our dislike of aberrant behaviour. “(single-)They could be going through something,” after all. It can’t be (single)their fault.
- Comment on Why do people lie instead of just telling the truth? 2 days ago:
it’s
It definitely is.
- Comment on Why would anyone downvote a question on No Stupid Questions? 1 week ago:
Spelling.
FAQs? Logically impossible questions? Something violating rights, like “why are whiteys even allowed to exist” or so?
For me, it’s spelling.

Maybachs exist.
- Comment on How do you avoid the "third rail"? Wouldn't it be on different sides depending on where your headed? 1 week ago:
- it’s in the middle. It provides power to the train.
- Comment on How can an airplane hit -47°c (-52°f) temperatures while flying over Southern Florida? 1 week ago:

- Comment on What was the first thing "pirated" on the net? What was the first thing to be pirated off the net in the modern age? 1 week ago:

- Comment on What's going on with PHP? 3 weeks ago:
To be fair, it’s quite a biggie.
I remember a day when we had 4 major ssh Vulnerabilities in the same day. We were on advance notice because #OSVendor so we got them as they came in and went nuts.
And each one that came in spawned another new effort of research, patch, test, roll, systest, releng, ship. It was all day, all-hands, every group, panic.
Wait. Now I can’t decide whether it was 2002 or 2003, because there were 2 days where that fucking happened.
With openssh.
Keep your pants on, right?

Don’t change. Theyshould change: they’re the ones who didn’t spell it right and then didn’t proof it or fix it.
- Comment on ‘People sell their best stuff on Vinted’ – how charity shops became a dumping ground for unsellable clothes 4 weeks ago:
Good donations show up on eBay, not the racks. They did it before their donors did, apparently.

- It would be 'til otherwise
- Comment on How much I judge videos by their thumbnails unsettles me 5 weeks ago:
Don’t worry. You don’t need to use vim.
Vim is mid-late 1900s software with colors added, essentially propped up by momentum and clique ritual, supported by efficiency tropes tired already in the '90s. Its only value is dopamine from the daily coping with its interface and a feeling of belonging to the elitist therapy group of similar survivors. It’s doomer prepper but in editor form.
- Comment on Anthropic asks users to stop being mean to Claude 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been mandated to use an LLM - but not too much because token$, but efficiently, and whatever - and I get frustrated often. I will write things like ANSWER MY QUESTION and tell it it has a word budget of 10 words. I know I’m gonna trip some criteria and be locked out.
It’ll be awesome.

Maybe for the apostrophe abuse? It’d be “ginned” in English.
- Comment on I wonder why people treat it like an Ancient Egyptian cat? 5 weeks ago:
Yes, you do wonder. Glad I could answer that for you.
- Comment on Why is Christa Pike from TN being kept alive after two failed execution attempts? 5 weeks ago:
For the same reason enemy combatants move from hated enemy to protected prisoner the moment they surrender. The same reason cops must move from violence to first-aid the moment the situation goes safe (YMMV in America, though).
- Comment on These "warnings" that some people think mean anything 1 month ago:
Theyre just trying to minimize the damage to your car in case a human secured the load and it’s got the slightest chance of coming loose.
It’s not always just to thumb their nose at you in court.
- Comment on It started on monday, worked thru tuesday, and hasn't moved since. 1 month ago:
I agree, but only because I’m jealous they’ve discovered prosperity without it being a labour death-march.
- Comment on ChatGPT Helped Tumbler Ridge Shooter Focus on Guns, Tactics, and Terror 1 month ago:
Phew. Glad to hear it wasn’t a glitch in parenting, policing, school support, gun safety or negligence. Everyone can rest easy now, and also not consider fixing anything. Let’s sue like Americans and move on.
- Comment on Engineer says Claude Code has made his job "soul-sucking" as workers spend 12-hour days pressing enter 1 month ago:
They made us use ansible at work. Then they made us use an LLM .
Onencanceks out the other, IMHO. None of the things I wanted to do are represented here, forced to slop some yaml together instead of building and maintaining actual software. Ai use kills any recall, expertise, or enjoyment.
But here’s the thing. I never want to think about how to affect a change via a bad listing grammar. I never want to recall the decisions I made while doing so. I never want to learn how to make better ansible. I never want to show my friends that code either.
I’m absolutely tickled to give it to the slop machine and let it accomplish the goals with very little investment from me. Fuck Ai, but also fuck ansible.

Well. They’d get volunteers, anyway.
Lots of em.
- Comment on Garbage Trucks Now Have AI Cameras To Score Your House and Clock Code Violations 1 month ago:
Garbage trucks have had cameras for a while now; just not fed into Ai for the nickels and the dimes.
Garbage trucks get run into or brake-checked aggressively, and they need the dashcam to show the entrapment. I dunno about you, but I was stunned to hear that people specifically target rubbish trucks.
