Do you filter keywords? I filter a lot of keywords, so now my feed is a lot quieter because of it. It’s also a lot nicer, and I don’t spend as much time on here as I used to.

And don’t worry, you’ll find some other new way to procrastinate. 🤣

frfr no cap, like skibidi sigma ohio rizz.

I would like to have a genuine conversation with you about your take. What happened to you in the last two years that had you about-face on your (lack of) faith?

I used to be religious growing up (it was a familial expectation). Then I kinda half-heartedly gave up, and I became agnostic. Eventually I decided that there is no God as we know it, but I do not deny the idea that there was some greater hand at play in our existence as a species.

Things do feel a little too coincidental to simply be random. For existence, our existence in general: the earth had to form in just the right place in space, and the temperature and oxygen levels had to level out to a specific point for humanoids to form and grow.

I know that can all be explained by science, and I am not disputing any science. But that’s my anecdotal opinion on why I feel there is something/someone out there bigger than us (but not a God).

Like I said, I’m genuinely curious on your take.

So, you can say, it’s something else? 🤔

None of what you said makes any sense.

This is the equivalent of an anti-vaxxer denouncing vaccines because they feel that their herbs are close enough to real medicine. 🤦‍♂️

Don’t do that. Syntax absolutely matters.

That’s not JSON. Note the use of equal signs for the property names. That’s something else.

Is it the AI itself? Or is it that it’s being forced down your throat despite being an alpha-level (in programming, alpha means very early release with lots of bugs and missing features, and nowhere near production quality) software?

Personally, I like the idea of AI. And occasionally I will find a use for it; i.e. summarizing long texts, or giving me pointers for a complex software problem I need an example for visualizing a potential solution. I do also use an LLM for code completion, and it is actually useful more often than not.

But, this idea that it should write my code for me, or be integrated so deeply in an operating system and other integral software (browsers, email, and search engines), is certainly a line too far and dangerously ignorant of companies to be doing right now.

Don’t do it. Just don’t. There’s too much spam and ads out there already.

What is it you would like us to say?

Thank you for an actual thought and not some dumbass rhetorical question.

Old really is how you feel. I feel old now (48, going on 49), but only because of how my life turned out and certain events that I have to deal with (divorce, single fatherhood, getting colonoscopies, etc) by myself. I certainly don’t have as much fun as I used to, and that definitely plays a huge part in feeling old.

All that to say that if your dad is having fun, “not acting his age”, then good for him! I hope he gets many more years of that before shit has to get serious.

To directly answer your question: a 36-old is supposed to act however they want to (within moral reason of course), so long as they and the people around them are enjoying it.

I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone, and while it never fully goes away, it can get better over time. Shit like this sucks, and what you’re going through is normal; i.e. there is nothing wrong with you.

Keep doing what you’re doing. You got this!

Dmnt! Thnks!

You meant btbxng ntnsfs.

Edit: fixed spelling 😂

The issue this is referring to is because the user cannot paste into a text field. And the user was not rude about it either.

So instead of fixing the actual problem, the developer went nuclear and removed the validation. A dick move in my opinion given the developer’s attitude.

~It’s more sad than funny. 🤷‍♂️~

It was down earlier today. Came back up right around when I posted this.

It’s all subjective and based on your personal level of interest. From a technical standpoint the time needed is based on how fast your computer can compile everything, how fast you read and understand the instructions, and how much effort you want to put into it.

So yeah, a weekend could be reasonable.

Or they’re bored. I’ve done Linux From Scratch before. It’s fun. It’ll teach you a lot about building and maintaining a distro.

Do it. Take a weekend, and indulge yourself.

Ahem.

That just made this 1000x funnier. Thank you!
