My thought exactly.

Wow, thanks for bringing this up, that guy really is a piece of shit.

Age of Empires 2, I played it when I was young so it’s kinda nostalgic. I don’t play it nowadays since I’m really bad at RTS games in general but I still like to keep myself informed of changes brought to the game by watching Spirit Of The Law’s channel on YouTube.

No one is safe from the enshittification!

Whenever I see stories like this, all I can think about is how this is all a waste. It’s a waste of the resources needed for these agents to run while they don’t provide any value. It’s also a waste of time for the people that have to go through the AI slop.

That’s a totally valid use case, I have done it in the past and there are Linux distributions that are made to be used this way. Those distributions usually work by loading the whole system into ram which avoid multiples writes to the USB stick. They also usually offer some persistence mechanism so that data can be added on the USB stick.

Examples of distribution meant to be used this way: MX Linux, Puppy Linux

Did you know they also include a warming function? You just have to puncture them and they will become cozy warm. As a bonus, you even get to watch a comforting fire.

This happened to me a couple time that I have the following advices to give:

• If your not using a device for some time, don’t leave it plugged in. I had a Nintendo Wii U plugged in that I forgot about, when I checked on it, the battery on the gamepad had inflated.
• If your device allow it, set the max charge below 100% especially if it’s a device that’s gonna be plugged in most of the time like a laptop. It’s still possible for the battery to inflate even if you’re using the device regularly. It happened to the laptop that was provided to me by my previous job and since it happened during the pandemic, I had to deal with this one myself.

Just to prove that this is something they really need to control, the huggingface page for gemma 4 mention that they filtered the training data to remove CSAM content.

Sharing this because I think it’s funny, but someone opened an issue on Mullvad’s github about the questionable donations of one of the cofounders: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/10685

This honestly seem pretty good, they even offer mail aliasing. I think I’m gonna migrate to them once my one year subscription to Mullvad end.

Go die or you die!

Something similar that really pissed me off was when someone was caught selling Blender (open source 3d modeling application).

It’s kinda funny where tech is going. We are going from programming the machines to do exactly what we want to saying what we want in natural language to some model hoping they are gonna do it right.

When technology become more magic then science.

Maybe he should have tried saying please. 😆

Not as much as I would like. It’s like what you said, I locked myself in a box of I can’t (I’m really risk averse XD). It’s not so bad, I try to keep myself healthy, so if I ever get out of my blockage, I will have the body to do what I set out to do.

Weird, mine was: “Never have sex!”
