the solution to having created a world you think is too toxic for children is not to ban children from the world
@monkeyborg 69k? In this economy? I could do 67k tho
@dumpsterqueer remove something from the cache? No way. Just put more stuff in there.
@packetcat but the good news is, no one has to use Adobe software anymore. almost all the essential functions that used to be exclusive to Photoshop are now available on free beer + freedom applications that have a reasonable user interface, like Krita.
@packetcat they must still be sour about me modifying host file on Photoshop CS5 in order to null route their license validation servers.

What ever happened to that star trek red shirt fedi server admin guy. I've been trying to find his profile. I think it was an academia related server
Just deleted 237 Application Load Balancers from AWS, saving my employer ~$7.5k USD per month

am i going to have to hear news casters explain that random access memory is used inside "ai" datacenters the same # of times I have heard them explain that a qubit is just like a digital bit, except it can be in a super position of states both 0 and 1

One by one I am going to replace every corpo app with something that I either run, make or personally know the maker of. I am doing pretty good so far. Socials, feeds, photos, bookmarks, music, notes. I guess I need someone to invent a phone OS.

the discord age verifier thing going round actually works: https://age-verifier.kibty.town/
obviously standard disclaimer applies, don't copy paste shit from this website into the dev console unless you understand it; in this case it does just pass the k-id verification URL from discord to their fancy server (well, after some modifications I made to make safari happy), and that server does whatever to satisfy the check
congrats on the house i guess
I kinda doubt they will fire you unless you specifically try to get fired. Just telling them that you wont be using LLMs, but you will continue to do work, probably wont be enough
I think despite the layers of ignorance and social hierarchy performance, the people who make these decisions in software companies still kinda know not to mess with Scruffy the Janitor.
The company I work for is sort of on a similar track, I just don't have the same ability to walk whenever I want to.
@gabek put the source up anyway!!
I was recently in a room with about 6 or 7 other people who had just received a free apple TV from an auction lot and were (AFAIK) planning on "using tvos like you do"
