I really wonder how much time and effort people think they are saving by avoiding the Shift key.

Use whatever brace style you prefer. But not this. Don't do this

New comment by stalfosknight in "Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent"

stalfosknight — Tue, 05 May 2026 17:10:06 +0000

This is a very good way to put it.

AI is being pushed so hard from the top down by every executive (who have been practically foaming at the mouth about AI for years now) it might as well be extruding from every port and seam on people's devices as if it were a buzzword/fomo diarrhea of some sort.

New comment by stalfosknight in "Confessions of a Millennial in Tech"

I had the same thought. I don't understand why this post got flagged otherwise.

This right here is exactly where I've been at mentally and emotionally for the last couple of years.

I worked so hard to break into web dev in the very late 2010s because the deal supposedly was:

1. Learn to code 2. Get your first real job as a software developer 3. Enjoy your comfortable middle-class lifestyle

but I barely got to enjoy any of this before the calendar switched over to 2020 and it's been one fucking thing after another.

New comment by stalfosknight in "Objections to systemd age-attestation changes go overboard"

stalfosknight — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:22:37 +0000

I'm a Mac person through and through but I've always had the deepest respect for the sincere commitment to freedom and privacy that you find in the FOSS world.

I am shocked by what's going on with systemd and by how suddenly bootlicky LWN has gotten.
