Hey vibecoding is real and stop shushing me!

Yeah because Joe Blow training a local model to make D&D characters for them is the problem.

Getouttahere with this, it’s about massively multinational corporations playing speculative games with unthinkable amounts of data and capital, affecting the lives of millions, all with almost no public oversight.

And it’s red on top of things? My love

Ah memories. That was an interesting lesson.

I loved my zip drive so much.

Creative director: lose the feet

Well, OS has nothing to do with rectangle coloring :)

I suppose that is true. I think most people view “the OS” as synonymous with the kernel and what associated applications enable you to do (obligatory GNU/Linux copypasta). That’s usually how I think of it, though I know it’s not accurate.

It’s a bit like including the sinks and shower when you talk about “the plumbing” in your house. Depends on your experience and what level of abstraction you’re thinking in. I see by your comments that you’re using a much more rigorous definition of “OS.” :)

We make the colours on the glowing rectangle change in a pleasing way.

I like to game how I can use as few key presses as possible to get my desired colours to show up. Sometimes figuring that out is even more fun than the end result.

Windows slaps you because what are you gonna do about it

Linux slaps you because be better than this

Virtual environment? Taking notes of what they did?

Anyway, tell them it’s okay you experiment and mess things up. Show them how to backup their important work. Then walk them through inevitably having to reinstall their distro.

They’ll learn that you can just keep moving forward, fixing and learning as you go.

I love your comparison of where issues come from on Linux vs Windows. That’s so apt (heh). Even after 10 years of using Linux, I never really thought of it that way.

It’s frustrating when any computer doesn’t do what you want; but you’re right, it’s infuriating when the problems are engineered to manipulate you into parting with your money, attention, or privacy.

(( insert anti-capitalist rant here ))

If you’re dreaming, we’re sharing the same dream.

No. I don’t even like visible vote count. I think it hurts us more than it helps.

Quake 3 Arena

Premise is a bit silly isn’t it? Everyone talks about games nowadays, and progressive / woke themes are very popular, especially in the indie space.

Maybe we’re in different spaces, but those kinds of sexist posts don’t usually do very well / don’t seem to gain much traction.

Also it sounds amazing that my boss could have power over the health and even survival of my family.

Wow that seems like really maladaptive colouring on the part of the meat worm.

Also on closer inspection, her writing really revels in grossness like natural hierarchies. I liked HP when i was younger, but knowing who Rowling is now, I can’t help but see her sick fingerprints all over that work.

It’s possible to fashion a new, better nostalgia for yourself. For my part I’d rather just reread any Discworld book for the dozenth time.

That liminality. 🤤
