It’s good…and bad. I dunno. I asked ChatGPT to update some basic CRUD functions in client side javascript a couple days ago so that it followed a UML schematic more accurately… and it just took my entire code base and wrapped it in a single class…and that was it.

So then I was like no, here’s some sample classes from the UML and here’s some properties and how these methods map to these functions I wrote before, get it?

And then, yeah, it did the thing I wanted…so…cool? I mean, sure, you can call it skill issues with prompting, but man, I’ve been coding with this thing for some time now, and sometimes I’m just like, “I miss stack overflow man”…and shit…I never thought I’d ever say that.

Sure, coding was slower, and maybe you didn’t find the thing you needed to fix your problem, but that friction taught you so much and you made friends (and enemies) as you tried to get an answer to your problem. Now we’re all missing out on that and just making the AI sort of kind of not really better.

The enemy of my enemy is potentially the lesser enemy of two enemies. Also potentially the greater enemy… the point is they’re still my enemy.

Must have been some Mad Honey.

Life drawing. I took a class at least twice a week for 8 years back in college and was a TA for a semester. I also just enjoy teaching those with a desire to learn.

Pathetic, can’t even keep up with the elderly US President.

Nice try, but the legend of Windows 11 is just that, a legend…a story we tell young children when we want them to behave themselves… right?..

For this one, I’ll just default to CircleToons.

Black, high quality Arabica, preferably home roasted by me, cold brewed, over ice.

Live out the dystopian future that is Westworld.

Any terminal emulator, but I prefer the suckless terminal. After that I guess zsh and neovim.

Meh, if that were true, we wouldn’t have a living, breathing sack of feces as president.

catbox.moe for image hosting and litterbox.catbox.moe for temporary image hosting. Throw them a few bucks if you do use their service and can spare it. It’s a cool little site.

Super jealous. 🤤

Lol, I know this one’s technically not NSFW, but damn, the language on that one! 🤣

Wishing I had listened to Metric way more when I was younger. Catching up now.

Ive been running Linux for close to a decade now and one thing that I’ve noticed is rarely brought up in Linux circles is that Linux Kernel Development is heavily funded by major big tech corpos. Examples include Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and IBM.

There is a vested corporate interest in keeping Linux well maintained as it is the OS that underpins the vast majority of corporate server architecture and infrastructure.

I’m not saying Linux development wouldn’t exist without them, but imho, Linux certainly wouldn’t be as ubiquitous as it is today without this corporate backing. Thusly, it is worth noting that in many ways, we Linux users have not escaped corporate influence simply from switching from Windows or MacOS to Linux.

We’ve maybe lessened it to some degree, but to think we are somehow immune to the misguided mandates from state governments, like the latest recent age verification laws, is misguided.

Fucking A! 🤘

No TV at all, and no social media other than federated platforms and YouTube these days, and I only use alternative no algo clients for YouTube. If I hear about something to watch, I sail the high seas, find it, watch it. If I like it, it goes into my backups.

One of these days I might buy an old ass TV and set up a JellyFin server, but I’m fine with my 1080p monitor. I only watch like 2 shows at a time max, and keep up with like 5 or 6 YT channels. No time and no need for others.

Admittedly, my computer is in my bedroom though. I always have had my computer in my bedroom though, so that’s just a personal taste thing.

Slices.
