The amount of cigarette glazing on the internet in the past 1-2 years is crazy to me. On Reddit, there are very thinly-veiled promotional content popping up more and more often like "taste test" videos comparing brands, and one th

How are people handling AI generated code these days? Seems like everyone is using some sort of coding assistant. You can't just ship AI generated (or assisted) code to clients as if it were you're to (sub)license, can you? You do

I've been a very happy user of firefox container tabs, but this is the first I'd heard of container proxies. Any resources on them you can share?

Only thing that comes to mind off the top of the head is that JGL has been very outspoken against AI and the dangers of kids using it.

I'm curious to see if this will embolden game corps to continue mistreating consumers or if they will acknowledge consumers are aware of that ethereal state of their "ownership" of games and start selling more complete produc

I'm fully ready to drink the "just let systemd do all the things" kool-aid, but I would love to see some sort of introductory/tutorial info into some of the things it can do other than services - i.e. containers and time

I don't think we should blame the LLMs, frameworks and the libraries necessarily. In my own experience, it feels like the real problem is a lot of companies (especially start ups) like to talk about "rapid prototyping", but a

I get why the government is keen to do this, but what sane citizen wants to live anywhere near those factories they want to bring back? Nothing like contaminated drinking water, poor air quality, acid rain that ruins your cars paint, noise

Can you detail the transition? What were the pain points? I feel like you lose a lot of the selling point of OpenBSD as soon as you start pulling from ports, but how could you do anything productive without it

What gets me is when this was brought up, they said "requiring explicit permission will kill the AI industry"[1]. No shit! Why do you think all the rest of us didn't build a business/"industry" around stealing

I feel like Windows 11 was literally JUST in the headlines for bricking PCs with one of their forced updates. I get that *nix is not for everyone, but it is VERY rare that you hit an issue with one of the more popular distros that hasn&#x27

Since it came out that they're being operated remotely, via Filipino remote workers, you'd think the whole defense that they're driverless should be moot, and some people should be catching charges for fraud or something. Fac

Outages aside, I have not put any serious work (of mine) on Github since it came out that they trained CoPilot on everyone's code without any sort of opt-in or details about how licenses were honored. I moved all my code, and I stopped

What sweeteners are you leaning toward these days? I try to stick to stevia/monk fruit/allulose, but if you're not preparing food yourself, it's hard to find things that aren't using the sugar alcohols, maltodextrin

I always wondered how NES games, which were notoriously low memory, could have game simulation on the start screens. Think Super Mario Bros, but there are many others. If no input is received at the start menu, the game starts playing a dem

Age checks certainly won't be restricted only to porn sites. Tons of sites have 13+ ToS like Facebook & the various other social sites, Discord too iirc. The reason people are so adamantly against this proposal is that it ties the

I wonder how things like computers at the library will work. This whole thing is just so stupid and intrusive. I can't imagine anyone will benefit from this except advertisers, doxxers and Big Brother.

When you review code, do you spend 2 minutes per line? That seems like a huge exaggeration of effort required

It WOULD be nice if it only got used appropriately. But in 2026 its just one more metric to narrow down your profile for advertisers. Wouldn't it be convenient if you could just opt-out of tracking with a convenient API like the litera

You can find so many parallels to Trump's presidency and the presidency of Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines. I wish there were some in depth political analysis of the similarities because just as a layman, there are many. - Both used

Say what you want about Bruno and Insomnia, but $50/year is pretty steep for the lowest tier of commercial use when there are more mature free options available.

5.1 (by way of LuaJIT) gets a lot of use, but to suggests no one uses the modern versions is just not true. Lua being an embedded language just takes the pressure away to upgrade. It's a feature, not a bug.
