Using AI is the only perversion here And what a self-reporting from all the AI bros!

Fucking ass hats.

I'm impressed how quickly cloudflare went from nice to evil cunts.

It will happen once everything breaks and we have an entire generation of drooling idiots spamming prompts. AI is 100% trash and it will only get better at deceiving you into thinking it isnt.

Every single person I talk too that is enthusiastic about AI is so because they can't code for shit. Sure, then the AI seems better. But it never really is. Learn to code, that inertia you are talking about is the technical debt. It will drag you down into the abyss eventually

Probably the conspiracy theory about scientists dying suspiciously, that’s just pure statistical noise

No one should be paying for this journalism. Calling wired journalism is a stretch, it’s more a blogspam ad farm site

nah, i just have no interest in this endless slop. It's so fucking obvious, so cheap, and soooo disrespectful imo

I think AI use will soon be classified as a health risk worse then smoking, drug and gambling.

Yeah, I just assumed that it was some sort of image generation crap >_< It's funny how this affects me tbh, I think it has almost the same effect as if there would be a boner-pills ad there or something. Or a 'subscribe to read' popups.

It's all just spam, filler content and I did not ask for that.

100% Anything worth doing, is worth doing yourself. LLMs create nothing of real value imo.

And all my colleagues that whole heartily agree, just to go 'but i use it ...', are not much different from smokers & day traders that think they are the exception.

I'm willing to pay >100$ a month to not have to use AI at all. It's trash and will never create anything of value.

Wouldn't Type Ia supernovas caused by blackholes have a different brightness? That could mean the entire cosmic ladder needs to be revised, maybe this could resolve the crisis in cosmology..

Wasn't it LG that got caught uploading viewing behaviour/stats to a unsecured FTP server from their TVs?

They are one of the cheapest somewhat ok brand for a reason I guess..

New comment by boesboes in "Git rebase -I is not that scary"

boesboes — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 11:10:31 +0000

I use git history to understand wtf my colleagues, and myself, where doing and thinking 10 years ago. A well structured, squashed commit and a clean history helps A LOT. I can't tell you how often I find a 'Apply review changes' and 'Fix shit' commit with no context. I then need to go back in the blame history or find what branch/PR this belonged too on GH to find even the context of these changes. Perhaps you don't work on the kind off crappy code bases I am dealing with, but a bit of git discipline saves a fuckton of frustrations.

tbf, this says a lot more about the code base, my colleagues and the shitty, lazy culture at our company that leads to ZERO ownership and architecture ;)
