Seriously? No one said "the first step in Roko's Basilisk"???

You can always buy the $2000 edition. Or give Apple the finger. I'm leaning toward the latter.

13 Pro here. Just upgraded my battery. May go another year or two at this rate. Always said that I didn't see a reason to upgrade once I had 5G UW

A $2000 phone. Read the room, Apple. Fuck off.

If I read "load-bearing", "pin", "wedge", "rung", or "it's worse than what I'd previously stated" one more fucking time from Opus...

I've had Claude review output from Qwen3.8-27b. Claude negged it! Said it was hallucinating! 27b may be small but it seems competent most of the time.

Cynically, I wonder if it's a way to increase token spend from repeated requests to speak like fucking human. The number of times my response has been "Plain English"... I started using "debuzz", a skill that runs C

It's capitalism taken to its extreme, yeah? You have to be more cost efficient or more capable or seem more or you lose to the competition who outperforms you there. Where arms races are concerned, seems more like Seth Godin's &qu

“We'll go down in history as the first society that wouldn't save itself because it wasn't cost-effective.” Vonnegut already has you covered.

No. Tesla's system is not good. It's just fairly homogenous in style with the rest of the UX. Functionally? Extremely disappointing.

Don't even get me started about how my 2018 Model 3 has a crappier entertainment system than far cheaper cars. God dammit. I. Want. CarPlay.

"The moral panic over data centres is foolish", says editorial in a news journal that is foremost about making money. The rest of us pay higher and higher electrical bills because of data centers. Data centers create jobs during c

LOL no it won't because mom and pop won't be able to afford to run a business and no one would be able to afford to buy from them either.

If you didn't use so many negatives in your sentence, then I may not have misunderstood what you didn't not intend to say.

Good luck with that.

JFC! There it is! I need a Logitech-less way to manage my Harmony Hub!!!

Hard to say whether this is a feature or a bug of capitalism. It's like an alternate definition of enshittification though: Once you've exploited every moral way to make money with your business, expand your scope to every "l

And Apple will continue to because they have to sell more devices to keep customers interested.

This isn't new. This should not be new. Make your shit work. Make it work well. Don't fuck with a thing that's working as desired. In this way, you'll make everyone's lives at least a little easier. This should be a

"Provide a good ENOUGH service to keep [you] coming back." The "ENOUGH" is the essential word you didn't include. They don't care about "good". They care about your money and the least quality they ca

I agree completely and have said similar. Yet this is what happens when supply tries to catch up to demand. There were not enough software chefs to keep up with the patrons appetites. We started minting more cooks. Instead of Culinary Insti

The name is actually "Gorgon"? So a gas company named a project after a legendary monster. I'm not sure how to feel about this. CO2 sequestration sounds good in theory. But...

I don't care that Apple isn't violating laws sharing this information with carriers. For a company that likes to portray itself as respecting customer privacy, this is a failure. Shame on you, Apple. If you want to keep your reput

Whereas I have an uncle, a retired CEO, with perhaps the same amount of money. The man is a monster. However, per my cousin, I can't say for sure just when that nature revealed itself but certainly no later than 20 years into his caree

I remember meeting (then) Tobi at an inspiring "punk" Ruby event in 2007 in Toronto, RubyFringe, and thinking he seemed like a mildly spoken decent guy. How times have changed.

Perhaps. In the US, these two ideas seem conflated enough that they are often essentially conveyed as a single message: if you can't work, you're dragging everyone else down. That leads to the internalized ableism with its guilt a
