have i gone completely insane? ... ... ... yes. pdsos.wisp.place

I just put a ! in front of a command in a regular bash window. it's so over for me

this is the dumbest shit ever especially when it pictures one of my new favorite RPGs released in recent years it's OK to enjoy things!!!! it doesn't have to have a GOTY label! we don't even know that GTA 6 will largely be good stop rating shit against something that nobody has even played yet

In the shadow of GTA 6, nothing shines

Imagine explaining this weekend to someone offline. “Some folks made a website that ranked posters for fun. It was fun for a day. Then we found out a robot helped write it, so we boycotted the leaderboard and dogpiled the dev.” What a stand! Truly the asbestos fight of our generation.

From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn't waiting. Maybe it was already happening. This week a...

it’s pretty wild that we as a society of have just completely normalized (and at times encouraged) people to act insanely rude and inappropriate to complete strangers online, in ways they wouldn’t in real life, to the point that a lot of pro-social behavior has is even stigmatized on social media

starting to learn blender, it's kinda fun

they're spreading me on the sheets tomorrow

okay, this is just ridiculous

well GitHub already pissed me off by making me run CI on my own build orchestrator in the cloud. it's not free anymore but a build only costs me $0.20 max and it's worth it to not deal with this Microsoft bullshit so anyway I'll be migrating my actual Git repos away from that hellhole now 🫠

the only way I see this actually shaking out is online retailers just tack on 15%+ markups onto everything if you're on your phone and pass it along to the customer 🫠

vibe coded myself my own fedora silverblue spin so I see the word "fedora" much less. it's basically just a vibe coded bazzite image lmao

I hate how the deluge of vibe coded frontends has me wince every time I see a specific font like Space Grotesk

smokin' that black tar shit

today's just one of those days man, dealt with a leaky toilet already, messed up grocery shopping

before agentic coding: *writes code* *doesn't release* *gets busy, reviews a month later* what the fuck who wrote this over-complicated shit after agentic coding: *has robot write code* *doesn't release* *gets busy, reviews a month later* what the fuck who wrote this over-complicated shit

FYI - the impetus for this was getting Halo: Campaign Evolved playable on my Fedora Silverblue setup. It works (as in it launches without issue) out of the box with Steam's proton-experimental default, but not a great experience. Now it's perfectly playable

I have brain damage; I use (and prefer) GNOME with fractional scaling on my gaming laptop. Clauded up a bash script that kills the display scaling per-launch, bumps font size to compensate (poor man's fractional scaling), then puts it all back. Hope it's useful to someone else

Flock Safety does anything but keep us safe. Their network of over 80,000 automatic license plate readers across the country puts our privacy at major risk. Join the growing number of communities nationwide that are pushing back.

Get The Flock Out

Automatic license plate reader (ALPR) companies like Flock Safety are quietly trying to build a nationwide mass surveillance system. If there are Flock cameras in your city, they are tracking, logging, and sharing your movements without a warrant. But we're not powerless. More and more communities are rejecting these creepy cameras — and yours can be one of them!
