the generalized nostalgia question (are things better now or not?) is so hateful. just two thought terminating cliches knocking into each other forever over the boring background of bourgeois class formation (are things better now? they are for me)

We asked Americans to rate the following statement on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being “Strongly disagree” and 10 being “Strongly agree”: It’s natural to poison other people to get ahead, either deliberately or by accident, and people who do shouldn’t be penalized too harshly.

the late streaming era sure isn't more convenient *if you don't have all the services*. wanna watch that show? sorry it's over there now. when will it return? sometime within 3 to 300 months?

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

faith no more seems to have gotten really buried over the years and there's a lot of less interesting records on there than angel dust

You have a month to write a 33 1/3 book about the album of your choice. Which record are you going to write about? (No previously covered albums allowed; new shit must come to light: see below.) (For all books in the series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_1/3) (H/t @monostich.bsky.social

huh. that's kind of psychologically interesting. actually the inverse of slop. you would think this would wind up being more productive, though, as a few people end up landing on the mark following their personal ideas. i guess the ego-loop provided by gen-ai cuts against this?

I thought this was a pretty interesting take from Codeberg's announcement of their anti-LLM policy They argue that many developers using LLMs are essentially heaven-banning themselves where they don't realize they're developing for a nonexistent community

# The development team of none Using LLMs to work with your code gives you a kick of adrenaline. You can develop at a rapid pace, build things as if you had a large team. Only that you have none. In fact, you are (often) alone, working with a statistical machine that turns energy into code. It seems like many ‘vibe coders’ don't realize that they don't actually have a community around them. They build projects as if they had, and spend resources accordingly. We see projects having a lot of code activity, heavy CI/CD testing, frequent and large release binaries. Sometimes, it feels like the amount of supported platforms exceeds the amount of actual users. To us, it seems ridiculous to see projects with a single developer and virtually no users consuming as much or even more resources than some of the largest community projects on Codeberg, which operate frugal with CI/CD and storage resources. We do not believe it is reasonable for Codeberg to invest our precious donation money into hosting of large ghost projects.

seems relevant to current discourse. it is unfortunately common among 35-45-year-olds to decide "hey, these 'the causes of the problems are very good' guys sound great actually" bsky.app/profile/b-bo...

Bb. bolt@b-bolt.bsky.social · 3mo ago

the problem with this (quite reasonable in the current context) stance, which we're already seeing around here, is you get fuckin economists jumping on board the train here and turning everything into shit. gotta set your territory with this

tell me which cultures do have the contemporary capacity for constitutional self-government, because it sure as hell isn't this one people just out there getting their brains ossified at (judging by the profile pic) age 6

At the risk of fanning the flames of this: IW appears to believe that harsh criticism of him personally justifies restricting the academic freedom of everyone. If not, I’d like to hear him say that newly minted academics should be free to say he’s trafficking in bigotry.

This is, indeed, a mask off moment. Here a newly minted academic declares without a hint of self doubt that a proposition obvious to almost everyone not too long ago, and obvious to many now—that not all cultures have the same contemporary capacity for constitutional self- government—is bigoted and racist. It is arguments like this and the cavalier confidence with which they are freely asserted in the halls of academia that make everything Trump wants to do to the universities seem so eminently justified.
