every day I'm surprised that GameFAQs is still around. I think its the oldest account I still have active on the internet

I've seen people report cleaner code by forbidding agents from writing comments. Anecdotal, but interesting.

I love when I make a request or ask a question, and Claude Code immediately queues up a dozen tool calls to edit files instead of explaining what it wants to do or why, despite repeated constant reminding that I will not approve tool calls without context and reasoning

The Claude Code TUI is downright awful, and hostile.

How is the US so backwards in some things.... only now tap to pay is being rolled out?

Lately I've noticed everything is "sharp" or it "sharpens" the point or question or something.

sevenseacat — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 11:11:24 +0000

Been using Firefox as my main browser since version 1.5.

The last few years I've noticed that some things have stopped working as smoothly though - mainly just little CSS glitches and things because people don't test in Firefox :(

Yeah nah, one of my coworkers was building stuff via TDD yesterday and Claude Code ended up running a test that ran `rm -rf` on his home directory. So dumb shit like this does still happen.

I remember when Twitter used to be the place where news broke, because checkmarked accounts actually meant something and news stories were important. Now it's all just slop and AI junk.

And that was only a few years ago, it's all gone so far downhill :(

I really wish there was a way to tell all of the algorithms like "I found the info I needed on , STOP SHOWING IT TO ME". You want to buy a new dishwasher, you look up dishwashers, you buy one. You'll still see nothing but dishwasher ads and content for the next year across the entire internet....

Because Obsidian is so barebones out of the box, people look for tools to help them organize things, hence looking for plugins.

I have to admit I'm one of those people that just doesn't "get" Obsidian. Every now and then when I have a specific thing I'm working on, I create a new vault, write one or two notes, and then inevitably never look at it again.

LLMs have not currently "solved" _anything_. Not coding, not writing, not anything.

I've done enough of those trick tests where you're supposed to read the whole thing first and the last step is 'ignore all the other steps'. If I saw that in a test, I would do it.
