every political compass test I've taken in the past 15 years has put me just right of center and 75% libertarian

but the delta between me and AOC is much, MUCH smaller than whatever the fuck is occupying congress right now

am I missing something or is the complexity of maintaining Kubernetes wildly overblown?

I keep hearing you need a whole team for it. but at this point I'm running k3s on my Linux desktop just cuz Docker is kind of obnoxious

now I keep wanting to use k8s for smaller projects and I get push back

can we take a moment to appreciate the sheer audacity of "I can't fit a wholeass swimming pool in to the studio so I'm gonna half fill a kiddy pool instead"?

"checkmate" is a pretty bold claim from an administration that somehow failed to indict a ham sandwich

guy isn't even in "check" yet. I'll put $20 down on another no bill.

they sure are talking out both sides of their mouth here huh?

$110/person/week is a brutal amount to pay for groceries... that was our weekly budget for our family of 3 just a few years ago 🫠

I swear I'm slowly becoming vegetarian just because I can't bring myself to pay for meat

even the LLMs can be useful. parsing unstructured data is pretty crazy. like, searching emails is way better using LLMs vs simple keywords

but then it gets shoehorned in to the most nonsensical shit

I saw a goddam fridge with "AI" in it. unless it can tell me I'm out of milk then wtf is it for??

I'm probably more willing to fix *your* bootloader than my own at this point lmao

honestly as a "Linux native" I'd agree. my boot menu has been screwed up for like a year now 😝 I don't even dual boot - I just can't be assed to fix it.

if you can format the whole drive and send it that's WAY easier...

and like you said, don't like it? install Windows again 🀷 keep it simple

"ackshually" (sorry) this is in fact one of the few things modern AI is very good at

it has fascinating implications for hearing aids, especially since the models that can identify and separate multiple speakers from an audio stream are surprisingly small

if I had a nickel for every time the tools we developed were going to replace us.... lol

and the funniest part is we've genuinely been trying to make coding easy since paper punchcards

but the code was never the hard part. it takes a weird mind that looks both ways on a one way steet...

> laissez-faire

loool my first sign that something *real* fucky was going on was in 2015 when someone I *thought* was a conservative libertarian told me "you're too much of a laissez-faire capitalist"

and as a genuine centerist it's still the strangest fucking insult I've ever received lmao

it's like his whole campaign is:

1) don't act like a goddam alien lizardman

2) there is no step two

for real. I am no longer comfortable sharing a federal government with these bastards.

I don't know if we drive them out, Balkanize, or what, but I'm not having any of it

moralize all you want - I ate that crow in 2020 and it didn't taste very good

okay but we *did* start this country on "fuck the king and the church" but somehow managed to speedrun our way back in like 200 years... so....

idk we're pretty bad at this "government" thing still

I do think "get rid of" would be a little better than "abolish"... not as snappy but more accessible.

Blade Chimera was pretty good. Took me a second try to get in to tho.

Metroidvanias are super hit and miss for me....

I surprisingly enjoyed Rusted Moss *a lot*. what a bizarre setting...

Nine Sols, however, might be my favorite game of all time. the parry combat is πŸ‘Œ

I've worked in tech for about 20 years and this wouldn't surprise me one damn bit

especially with the awful places they're putting them 🫠 there's a reason nearly half of DCs primarily use renewables or nuclear... power is expensive.

meanwhile Musk is trying to run his off diesel generators lmao

America was (ostensibly) founded on the premise of radical freedom, but the people "most typically" associated with the views of our Founding Fathers have now become the most anti-liberty "cucks" in existence, and it's super ironic.
