Pffft, your earbuds are gross!

For sure. What I’m saying is: hug your children, so they might become decent beings, because they were loved.

I wholeheartedly agree all of the people listed in the thread as “needs hugs”, but, hear me out, maybe if all the MAGA and conservatives and hateful people had gotten more hugs in their childhood, then they wouldn’t be such giant assholes now.

after hours

I’ve configured PAM to not let me login remotely after hours, because I just know that someday I’ll want to fix “just this tiny thing” and I’ll break production because I’m too tired. I clearly need protection from myself, and this is one slice in Dr.Reasons’s Swiss cheese model.

Don’t let the people drag you down, this happens to all of us.

Yeah, the wrong way!!!1!

If you mean from an energy/climate/water/resource consumption perspective, then no. But of you’re looking at it from a labor perspective, then also no. From a copyrights perspective? Nope as well. Okay, but surely from a correctness perspective? Very clear no. Okay, but there’s still the aspect of showing recipients respect and not wasting their time by giving them something to read/view/process that you didn’t care to write/think through yourself in the first place? Well, you guessed it, hard no as well.

The things that AI was made for are:

• finding a use for superfluous Blockchain GPUs when that hype began to die (initially), and more importantly…
• replacing human workers who demand nasty things like wages and vacation and sick days and rights, in order to redistribute wealth to the wealthiest.

Yep

I’ve been using Spytify for a long time.

You can give an LLM (or any other ML tech for that matter) any task you’d like, as long as you don’t care that the results are wrong.

Yeah, we wrote a racer game for that thing. Loved it!

I was carrying not one but two programmable Casio GFX 9850 graphics calculators with me pretty much all the time. You could write some kind of Basic-ish code on these things. Neat machines, considering their age.

I was just a kid so it put me off science for a bit tbh.

And isn’t that a fucking shame? I mean, science can be such an interesting thing that can improve and enrich your life and can even become a career, but or just takes one bad teacher to let all that go to waste.

I had a guy teach biology and chemistry, and he was… well just not a good teacher (but a very decent human outside of class, to be fair). Made me really hate his classes and subjects. It took quite a long time for me to get more interested again.

On the other hand, I had a teacher in computer science teach is the basics of relational databases and object oriented programming in Borland Delphi (yes!), and now that I’m almost 40, I STILL feed on that knowledge, have become a sysadmin, have helped a dozen of co-eds in uni pass their programming test by tutoring them… He’s just a huge part of what I’ve become as a person. One teacher really can make a difference, one direction or the other. Thank you Mr. Barchmann, wherever you are.

We’d all end up drugged with needles up our arms laying in front of the unemployment centers of we don’t get better at chemistry. Like, all of us.

Joke’s on him, I’m in IT now, so I’m of WAY worse.

May nobody ever be stealing your bucket, my friend.

I miss “they be stealing my bucket”, but that might well be just me.

I’d go with something that has a little more class than most of the suggestions here. Something with a certain ring to it. Like… Biggus Dickus

Yeah. Great-great-great-grandchicken, so clearly friend shaped.

The good Lord would want it that waaaay! 🎶
