Nothing will beat late 2010s twitter, but this place does seem as close as we’re gonna get ATM.

For neither the first nor last time, Rob Pike is correct on this one ☝️

Can this bubble pop already? I’m so exhausted by having AI shoved down my gullet. First time in my adult life where the market keeps saying β€œtrust me bro you want this” and people keep saying β€œnot really nope”.

All I want for Christmas is a good old fashioned trust bust. Remember when we used to do that? Oh I β€˜member.

I’ve successfully avoided windows all year with Proton. But Battlefield 6 has got me seriously reconsidering. I wish developers would come up with a better solution to anti-cheat besides β€œlet us just rootkit your machine bruh, it’s fine come on”

Cleaning up AI slop is gonna be a lot of people’s full time job the next few years.

We really need to start warning people about the dangers of F1. 3 weeks ago I didn’t care about any of this, and now Mercedes legos are en route to my house, and I’m saying dumb shit like β€œI was there for hulkenpodium” in regular conversation.

For sure, and I agree. But Lua is an open source programming language that kids could take and use however they see fit from then on.

The more I talk to parents the more I realize kids are learning to write code in Lua BECAUSE OF ROBLOX. Net positive impact. Insane.

formuladank The pinnacle of F1 Shitposting

I started watching Formula 1 for the drama, the spectacle, and to totally geek out over the engineering that goes into making it all happen.

And now I stay because of www.reddit.com/r/formuladank/. πŸ˜‚

I experience the exact same behavior with cursor rules. The entire markdown prompt is a big shrug and a "maybe".

GitHub - basecamp/omarchy: Opinionated Arch/Hyprland Setup Opinionated Arch/Hyprland Setup. Contribute to basecamp/omarchy development by creating an account on GitHub.

Running Fedora on my desktop has become a gateway drug to spinning up Arch on a mini-PC for even more side projects.

Omarchy is looking VERY promising:

This site has so much potential except for the fact that no one uses it ever.

I just tried dia for like five minutes and I’m convinced that there will never be a good browser, just a variety of bad ones

Okay but Zellij is pretty incredible. Configuring layouts is a breeze and you can pull off cool workflows like this with one single command:

It’s a dangerous path. You end up loving languages like Elixir.

I want Spotify to never show me another single again. Albums only. EPs maybe.

Oblivion Remastered is running at a consistent 90+ FPS / Ultra settings.

Fedora + latest stable Proton.

Zero tinkering. More or less the out of the box configuration. Would love for this to be the year I kill off the final windows license in my house.

We are responsible for our beliefs. That was one of the hardest lessons of my breakdown 20+ years ago--I believed some flat out wrong things & I was responsible for changing those beliefs. 🀯
