Had Gemini cook up something I've wanted for a VERY long time: recreation of the DOS 5.0 terminal experience I grew up with that used ANSI.SYS for color output. I don't like that it's running under PowerShell because PS commands are bleh/meh/yuck, but hey, color! (And proper DOS formatted output!)

I know a lot of people hate LLMs, but for software dev by real coders it's insanely useful. I just had Gemini (2.5, not even 3 (plz, Google, give me?)) convert a Perl script into a Java app with a very basic Swing interface. This would have taken me an hour. It took minutes.

AI has its drawbacks but please remember it's still literally just a baby. Some technology takes decades to perfect. And look at how hard I'm nerding right now with it..

This doesn't really give me a lot of hope for Platner being a real liberal.

How long until Amazon opens itself as a general package delivery carrier? FedEx is so catastrophically slow by comparison.

Nobody is live-blogging/tweeting from the court room on Bluesky. I'm very sad.

Counterargument: some people are just too fragile for the Internet. I'm not trying to mock or insult this person, but I've been online since dial-up and modern social media ain't no different than web forums and Usenet newsgroups before them.

Just once I'd like one of these fake ass "camping" YouTuber's to be like... "Okay this meal tastes like shit." This dude up in here putting mayo and ketchup on his boiled hotdog. It may very well be to his liking, but he's acting like it's a $300 steak. Get lost.

Facebook is such utter trash, how is that company not bankrupt? This spans nearly my entire screen. This is what I see instead of content FROM THE PEOPLE I'M FRIENDS WITH. 95% of my clicks are trying to get rid of bullshit from fucking strangers.

I wrote a program in Typescript that runs under Node.js that checks a YouTube channel for new comments via the YT API and sends messages to a Discord channel when that happens, to make it easier for volunteers/staff to surface & deal with shitposter goblin behavior.

I haven't seen anything about it in the news but it looks like Elon Musk settled Parag Agrawal's (and others) lawsuit against Twitter for not paying them money they were owed after Musk fired them.
