Congrats, @circleci.com - you are broken.
You had a GREAT CI system in the past. And I mean it. That was until you started to "fix" what wasn't "broken".
That was before your automated systems start to randomly block without explanation, and your support didn't care.

I was JUST asking a couple of friends some minutes before on why companies are so proud to announce they are "AI-First Companies".
When I was younger, dehumanization was a bad word. Nobody wanted to be associated with it. Now, it's a "feature", it's "desirable", it's "marketing" and "innovation".

"The purveyors of modern fascism are so scared of other people, and so full of hatred for humanity, that they’re even outsourcing the thing they like best—literally doing fascism—to computers." - read @andreagrimes.com 's latest below!

I kind of found recently that gambling is supposed to release dopamine and/or be fun... which is something I never experienced.
I think this part of my brain must be broken, which is not a bad thing, but it's just one more that I found I can't relate with most people.

I feel, after investigating a little about what's public about Epstein, that Christians were right: THERE IS a hell.
They just misplaced it - it's not after we die, it's here. The demons walk around, they have most of the power, and money, in the world.
And we're their slaves thinking we're free.

Goodbye, @firefox.com. I tried to like you, but it's not working anymore.
Tabs are buggy (can't reorder, can't detach,they get "stuck" in the bar when I try to drag them). My token stopped working. Webcam detection is TOO SLOW. Sites break, lots of crashes....
Sad to change back, but I need to.

Did we all suddenly became dumber with the whole AI stuff?
Everything that we were able to do BEFORE AI suddenly needs it. Things like "MIDI to MP3" return A LOT of "AI sites" that do the conversion, something we were able to do without needing it.
PDF to text? Same. OCR? Same.

I can't understand why more tests framework just don't present how they show their failures. It's mostly how I judge which framework to use.
An error like NOT EQUALS: [0, 2, 1], [0, 1, 2] is not useful.
I want diffs. I want custom ways to compare stuff. I want my test framework to HELP me.

I somehow was able to upgrade MidiEditor to work with QT6.
Unfortunately, most of the work was made by an AI. Which is what I feel it's good of: making "random changes until it compiles" works well if you can automate the process!

I'm so surprised how Google apps became so unfriendly...
Take Android auto, for example. Amazing app... except that maps' search isn't synchronized between my android and my car. I can't also "disconnect", and can't say "don't auto-connect". It's such insanity to have an app that I can't QUIT.

Just saw an amazing quote:
As software ate the world, we lost the protections from the real world.
Amazing how much this rings true. And sad because, as a software development, I keep thinking if I'm not part of the problem, instead of the solution.

How Google can be SO INCOMPETENT in some cases?
I just got some "security warning, your password was seen on public sites!" on my Google Account. So I got the details...
... and it's all private IPs, 192.168.<something>, and more than half of them are "localhost:<some-port>"

Sometimes I feel like an alien.
I see job offers, and they all say something like "we have AI in our DNA" or some other shit like this...
... and I immediately don't want the job. I don't even want to know the salary. Like, close the offer, ignore the company.
Why is this sold as an "advantage"?

I find quite amusing that USA by its own definition of "terrorist state" is now one, bombing innocents in international waters to literally terrorize governments
I also find quite convenient that USA's definition of terrorism state excludes USA from the definition
I would laugh, if it wasn't scary

Silksong is SO POLISHED!
There are so many cool easter eggs, small details, jokes, secrets, things to explore...
Even Hornet's personality is amazing - strong, determined, firm, kind, responsible, respectful, but also bold and proud.

I was prepared for Silksong to never happen.
I was prepared for it to be under-released, not living up to the hype.
I was even prepared for it but be kind of like a "Hollow Knight mod", with the same movements, just a re-skin of the game.

I reported more than 18 people to Instagram related to hate speech, since they changed their policies.
Not a SINGLE ONE of them was considered "hate".
Why have any moderation team at all, at this point?

Ender Lilies appeared to be a great game in the beginning.
Unfortunately, it's frustrating, and not in the good way. First, it seems that "contact damage" was an afterthought-it doesn't really fit.
Second, it tries TOO HARD to be linear. The map opens, but then you hit dead ends all the time.

I wish I could like Beyond All Reason (an open-source RTS game). It's polished, it's beautiful, it works, have a strong AI, very interesting ideas, etc.
It's also HIGHLY complex. 5 different "kinds" of units, 4 "tech-2" level units, one "tech-3". Impossible to have all these in a single game.
