Holy mother of credentialism. This will not end well. Let's look at the country again in 5 years.

Another huge piece of my childhood dies. Very sad, indeed. :(

I think all of us growing up in the 80s and 90s just don't realize that we probably lived in the most awesome time period in human history. Everything was just peak. Vibes, music, film, art, travel.

Now the OGs all die... and I look around and see nothing and no one to step into their humongous foot steps...

I have used SO daily, for over a decade, almost every single day. I never saw anything hostile there. I guess this is something that you only see when you are trying to write answers or replies.

For someone who just wants to quickly scroll to the green checkmark and get shit done, that site was absolute god-tier.

I assume some state actors have projects for exactly this ever since HTTPS was invented...

"we have tests"

spoiler alert: any test that was written by an LLM as part of the same task that created the feature is less than worthless.

especially if no human reads AND fully understands the tests.

I for one am very glad that Meta is actively "engineering" it's own destruction.

You are doing humanity a great service! Please continue and press ACCEPT! More! Faster! Accelerate!

Does Kobo still crash regularly? Mine crashed several times daily on my Kobo reader and I gave up on the app and the device and moved on to Supernote and just reading PDFs on it.

I think the damage that Meta has done not only to children, but to all human beings alive and online today, cannot be put into monetary terms.

Meta should be destroyed and forced to stop all operations immediately. I think it would be quite an interesting wake-up call when we would then realize that... nothing of value was lost and the world will just go on - just a little bit saner and happier.

And Microsoft doesn't use Github to feed their own monsters? And why wouldn't Elon just use GitHub to feed Grok?

Is Elon maybe just living rent free in your head?

Voting has never worked to bring competence into the government. Exhibit A: All governments of the world, right now.

All these emails are written by AI nowadays and therefore they all sound he same. This is not a grand achievement or a sign of a great CEO.

I basically have to hit the edit function in Signal and correct typos in Every. Single. Thread. Every. Single. Day. It is infuriating.

This has been going on for years, so I guess when this guy claims this started at iOS 17, it seems to make sense.

The iOS keyboard really really is utterly broken. I'm glad it's not just me. I was already wondering if I should schedule an appointment with a doctor and check if I have early onset dementia or something.

I have scrubbed my account completely clean years ago and never use it for anything. When I log in once a quarter or so, just to check if someone sent me a message via the Messenger, all I see is soft-porn on my timeline.

German here. Root beer does INDEED taste like toothpaste. Disguting. :)

We Germans drink Malzbier, which is equally unhealthy, but at least it tastes somewhat OK.
