Working on recording call in bits for a joke radio station for a GTA race event and I'm trying to channel some @noodleawesome.bsky.social ad spot energy by recording the the phone call through a sound board with the EQ set to "Guy blasting music from his PSP". sounds like piss. 10/10

Anyone else out there have arguments about how Discord age verification won't "save the kids" and will grossly enable the potential targeting of marginalized people and censorship.

The more I see "competent engineers" hyping up "vibe coding" and "never checking the code", the more I'm convinced they should not be engineers or allowed near any code ever again. Clearly they never had any passion for the craft and just want to pump out startups they can sell as fast as possible.

“Robots are now all Elmer Fudd” is the best new sentence I’ve ever heard.
"users quickly bypassed the AI's safeguards by prompting it to roleplay as"- ok so what I'm hearing again and again, is they've built a dumb guy in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. You just gotta run back into frame in a wedding dress and now the AI thinks you're getting married. Robots are now all Elmer Fudd

Hey. you. @samperson.bsky.social yeah you.
I was listening to the Dreams episode again (yeah I re-listen on loop until new episodes are out, fuck you I'm not weird) and I was reminded of how me and my friends spent so much time dicking around trying to make games in the warcraft 3 level editor.

@finalv3.zip Ok so we’re aligned on “talking about generated output isn’t a good argument“ but where do we stand on “even with mid or good output, the editor re-shittened it somehow“. Like an artist still need to do the compositing people. Also Sting.

All web frameworks fall into one of 3 categories: too bloated (like angular), overly complicated abstraction (like svelt), or react. And you should avoid all of them and use JQuery instead.
Updating the content after an async request should be table stakes. Not 6 hours of research.

I like when dudes try to act all tough by threatening you with weapons
I not infrequently get such threats and it's always along the lines of "you think you're so tough, come meet me and my *literal gun*"
Like yeah bro I bet a gun would kill me too what's your point

I swear to god mongodb is to most obtuse piece of software I've ever encountered. The shell sucks and the documentation actively gives me a migraine. No wonder people forked it.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

It rocks to tell people their shit rocks. Every single person who has ever been nice about my work has been appreciated for doing so. I take time to say I love stuff and it’s always the right time to remind somebody you value their work! You don’t need to get into detail either. Just say it rocks
I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice
