  • That’s not the problem here. Showing a notification with content is not a big deal.

    In the case stated here, the big deal is that the notification HISTORY was preserved after removal of Signal. That’s because both Apple and Google do the same thing. They keep a notification history. Not on a per-app basis, ALL apps notification history is stored.

    I know that on Androids, it is turned off by default and you can turn it on, so you get the impression that Android doesn’t have this issue. I am going to guess as I do not own an apple anything that iOS has notification history turned on by default. This is the real problem. This is not anything Signal can control for unless they were to not support notifications which would render their app useless, so that’s not an option.



  • I’m a fancy dancy senior director. I hire leadership as well as individual contributors.

    I would NEVER hire a psycho because people like that cause endless drama and bullshit. Now I have to hear about it constantly and everyone is going to question my judgement (as well they should) if I were to hire an asshole like that. I’ve had a few people who would get a little hot under the collar at work. Nothing big, but they’d get pissy and irritated on meetings, pretty minor stuff. They ain’t even curse or yell. I’d STILL have people up my ass about dude because he got a little shitty during a call. I could not imagine having a genuine whack job who fucks with people on my staff. So much time wasted on Mr. Grumpy-but-Harmless. Have Professor Cockstain on the team would be endless misery.

    The asshole at work creates more work than they do. Anyone who hires one knows damn well what they’ve done and unless they have the balls to fire them, they’re complicit in keeping them around.

    Sane people don’t hire assholes.




  • I run a LLM on my local machine to to sex fantasy stuff.

    I like strange things. Nobody wants what I want, so am I just supposed to become even WEIRDER than I am, let all that kinky energy turn toxic and then rapey or just type for 20 minutes a day about butt sex with an LLM that thinks everything I come up with is fantastic? Seems like the latter is pretty mild compared to the former.

    We’d probably have a lot fewer rapey guys in the world when sex bots are a thing. Some dudes are just unfuckably gross. The world knows it, they know it. They didn’t choose to look gross, have a weird body, be something unappealing, but they still have monkey instincts to stick their dick into something. That doesn’t just go away because you’re not good looking. It will turn into some bad energy if you just have to live your life that way. I mean, you don’t have to look hard to see it in the world around us.





  • There was some statement about how access must be fair and reasonable, but that is wildly vague. $1500 a month to a factory farm is more than fair and reasonable. Less so for a small independent farm.

    I really dislike that this wasn’t brought to proper closure. It would have been precedent setting. However, I also understand that this at least brings relief to those who are hit by this BS. However, until some manufacturer is forced to give up the keys to these systems, legal defenses will continue to strengthen for the big companies during the snooze period. In 10 years when this expires, they will be more than prepared to fight this down to nothing. That precedent will be extremely difficult to overturn should it become real.


  • When I was a teenager, I grew up in the country so we had wasps everywhere. I hated them. One morning in the summer I was dead asleep–until I was awakened by a wasp that stung me in the fucking neck. So this asshole had to fly into my room decide to land on me, probably crawl around a bit and then decide “Fuck this guy right here NNNNNNG”. I was so goddamn angry and confused. I had to get up and tend to the sting because I swell like a moteherfucker. However, being a lazy teenager, I went back to bed. I woke up about 10 minutes later because I then felt it CRAWLING ON ME AGAIN. I was so fucking furious, I just monkey pounded it into a million little pieces with my fists in the mattress.

    Fuck wasps, I spent many years capturing them, holding them with tweezers and slowly cooking them over a candle. Not sorry.






  • I’m in the top 3%. I’ve never even CONSIDERED doing something like that. I have retirement to save for, kids to put through college. My car is now old enough to get a driver’s license of it’s own. I don’t piss my money away on stupid shit, I don’t buy an endless stream of consumer goods. My watch came from Costco. I fix my own cars, do my own home renovation when it’s cost and time effective. I clean my own bathrooms.

    Yes, a trip up everest is for a 1%er or a fucking moron who can’t actually afford it.
