I have used Firefox as my default browser through thick and thin for damn near two decades. If Mozilla killed andblocking extensions I’d switch to Helium Browser in a heartbeat since they’re maintaining manifest v2 support for uBO and even

Use open source software. Buy your own compute. Make the effort. It's worth it.

As an old-stock Canadian (one side of my family settled in Upper Canada in 1782 because of the revolution, so I have very thick British loyalist roots)...I use British spelling. I explicitly reject the use of American English. This is a no

Mozilla for the love of God I do not want “AI features” in the tool I use to do my online banking. Stop this madness. Nobody is switching away from Firefox because it’s not agentic. But there might be a small amount of people willing to sw

You're taking the meaning of the word "inevitable" too literally. Something might be "inevitable" in the sense that someone is going to create it at some point whether we like it or not. Something is also not "

OpenAI is scraping everything that is publicly accessible. Everything.

Maybe for writing, but in digital art circles if anyone notices a mistake in your lines or perspective or any kind of technical error you will get the anti-AI cancel mob after you even if you didn’t use generative AI at all. I would not wan

Not ridiculous at all. Rust coreutils are MIT licensed. Canonical sells extended support and security packages. It’s completely reasonable to think they will want to monetize additional patches on coreutils as part of their commercial offer

Because Canonical has completely lost the plot and become infected by Rust zealots.

Not for my company. In my research AI is just completely incapable of doing what we do in a cost effective way and our customers don’t have the technical know-how to vibe an alternative. Our customers ask for about AI features and it’s a c

Haiku is fantastic for simple answers and one off tasks. Then I switch to Opus for anything “serious”. I don’t even bother with Sonnet anymore, it’s been made obsolete by Opus 4.5.

wut we have a mixed graphql/REST api at $DAY_JOB and our delete mutations look almost identical to our REST DELETE endpoints. TFA complains needing to define types (lol), but if you're doing REST endpoints you should be writing so

If you want 100% compatibility: sudo apt purge --autoremove --allow-remove-essential coreutils-from-uutils # reinstalls gnu coreutils sudo update-alternatives --config sudo # can switch back to regular sudo from sudo-rs (for Ubuntu 25.10)

Dont' forget to ANALYZE your tables sometimes too. Just recently was trying to optimize a 12s index scan, turns out I didn't need to change anything about the query I just had to update the table statistics. 12s down to 100ms jus

If your process is shit, you're just automating shit at lightning speed. If you're bad at your job, you're automating it at lightning speed. You need have good business process and be good at your job without AI in order to h

It hasn't been an issue in my experience at $DAY_JOB, but for us all commits must pass CI and not just the tip of whatever branch was just pushed. So branches with partial commits that fail CI cannot be merged. So if you commit an

Lying requires intent by definition. LLMs do not and cannot have intent, so they are incapable of lying. They just produce text. They are software.

Very cool. Reminds me of the Pico8. I love these types of vms that have deliberately limited specs. Really makes you sink your teeth into solving problems creatively with minimal resources.

Maybe you should fix your logging to not output secrets in plaintext? Every single modern logging utility has this ability.

Seems @sama has stumbled onto a pretty good business strategy - unleash something that massively infringes on copyright into the world, then take it back and add “guardrails” and then ~~extort~~ sell it back to the person you infringed on t

If you’re going to vibe code, why not do it in Brainfuck? Claude hilariously refused to rewrite my rails codebase in Brainfuck…not that I really expected it to. But it went on a hilarious tirade about how doing so was a horrible idea and I
