every time i see a gallery of this guy’s comics posted, they start out innocuous like this, then invariably they start becoming blatant far-right propaganda. every single time. the guy’s a chud.

two different screenshots of the same guy doing the same bit on the frontpage right now. somebody’s self-promoing, lol.

this is legitimately what i think is happening. both with github’s constant outages and windows 11 seeming to be getting worse faster than ever before. a fucking gigabyte of ram for a weather app, a beginner programming project, built like an electron app because i guess copilot doesn’t know c#.

microsoft: “93.73 and 90, that’s at least two nines right there”

the four horsemen of just needing something linuxy for my linux screenshots

never even heard of wmic. looked it up and it’s just been superseded by a new tool. this is barely even news, but neowin had to title the article like it’s a big deal.

you should all know that reddit can, and has, restored comments that have been “shredded” by tools like this so they can be used to train AI. they can obviously restore deleted content as well, because it’s never deleted, just marked as deleted in the database.

not even particularly confusing, it’s just two inexperienced users being inexperienced. it seems like it’s only confusing people that know OpenOffice and LibreOffice have OS X versions but somehow don’t know that not everyone knows what they’re doing.

i’d already been really sick of that “everyone’s so creative” cooking content for a while, because it’s mostly just bullying, but uncle roger put me off him for good when he ballbusted a 12 year old for using a bench scraper. you know, the extremely common tool that every youtube cook uses in every single video.

“yeah, you can definitely write an article about how deeply stupid and gullible i am, sounds great. make sure to name me, too, so everyone knows.”

ayyy, left-handed artist!

a lot of ideas-only leftists on the internet have gotten furious with me when i ask “how.” way too many terminally online leftists build their entire political ideology around the desired end result and have spent exactly zero time thinking or learning how we actually get there.

i don’t have all the answers, either, but i openly acknowledge what i don’t know because just getting angry and calling someone a right-winger in the comments of a random reddit or lemmy post over the tiniest bit of barely-pushback is not going to help me build actionable knowledge and strengthen my views.

you’re right, but i need people to understand that this is simply not a workable solution for most people. the simple fact is if we want the average person to adopt more open source alternatives, it needs to improve usability even without their help. it’s not really enough to only cater to us power user nerds with “good enough,” and it doesn’t win hearts and minds to handwave complaints and tell people to come back with a patch.

when i say “red grapes,” i’m always referring to the ones that are actually red because they have the most satisfying snap when you eat them.

two examples: white wine, white grape juice. both are very common. seems to refer to the juice color, not the color of the grape skins.

when they’re made into raisins, they’re called golden raisins. so “white” isn’t even the only one.

incels have always existed, we just used different terms for them until they outright stole the name from a support group for social anxiety.

all of them are just admitting that they’re embarrassed about using AI instead of their own brains. of course, they don’t know that because claude never told them.

i knew exactly what this was going to be.

i’ve never had an original thought in my life.

just in case you haven’t, or someone else needs the tip, you can try both --cookies-from-browser <browser> and --impersonate <browser>

i.e. --cookies-from-browser firefox --impersonate firefox:linux

impersonate requires python-curl_cffi to be installed.
