Month of blocking people daily and even Lemmy starts to look like an ok place.

The most probable “punishment” that Putin is going to get at this rate is dying while sleeping without any pain.

I don’t think most of them would do it if they had to give up their power and wealth.

Current AI is still like that incredibly knowledgeable senior dev with a drug problem.

So you mean exactly like most package maintainers prior to AI?

As someone who has done package management for a distro at one point in my life… after the initial push, it is so incredibly boring.

I think AI should do all of it. I’m entirely certain that things would be better, not worse, if we did. 99% of problems related to that stuff is because it’s so fucking boring that humans just simply cannot pay the kind of attention it requires to be safe.

Because then browsers don’t have to do it?

Sure, but that happened before AI.

It served the same purpose every protest has for the last 2 decades, i.e. made the protesters feel so good about themselves for an hour.

That’s something I applaud the younger generations for. I’m just hoping that it’s not due to not socializing in person.

Podman is much better than docker though in pretty much every way

So weird that it took them this long. Probably because pirating Windows was even less of an issue for them.

I guess they needed to wait for DHH’s example.

Were they in China when they did that?

I don’t really trust it to be much better at respecting privacy than YouTube

Why would you trust it to be any better at respecting privacy?

They’re already dumber than the older generations, but hey, we can make the problem even worse. Why not.

I’m gonna have to work until I’m 110 years old probably just to keep the following generations fed and clothed… and I bet at least one of you morons will think “it’s the billionaires’ fault”. Try to actually read a real book.

RIP

Kind of a problem how nazis in WW2 games are quite different from the wannabe-fascists and fascists of today. You mostly kill drafted soldiers in those games, and if you think about it too much, those are probably the people who least deserve their gruesome deaths.

Makes it not work for me as a safety valve.

Implies that people are largely still pretty incompetent with it. The pioneers have a lot to win.

Bluesky is pretty weird in its own way. It’s full of really irritating leftist politics plus a lot of unsolicited porn.

Nothing happens in Mastodon.

Twitter seems to be the only place that has anything going on in that style of social media.

Yeah, that’s a much saner take than what I imagined from the headline.

I’m gonna go ahead and assume that Doctorow’s actual stance isn’t as idiotic as the title suggests.
