as i have been saying: the real use case for AI is making small personal apps to solve otherwise annoying problems

Who would have known the real purpose of Rust was to be “the language every other program gets ported to by a robot”

Sometimes I really miss the whole industry of album art — vinyl/cd/cassette. I think that was my first meaningful exposure to graphic design. I know artists still have “cover art” for their digital releases, but its not quite the same; we consume it differently, more passively.

If both guards always lied, either could still say “one of us always lies and one of us always tells the truth”

i suppose if something was a lot smarter than me I might call it super intelligent too.

I always found it confusing that “discretion” is the noun form of “discreet” and not “discrete” the noun form of “discrete” is “discreteness” i’m sure there’s some etymological reason involving greek and latin, but it’s confusing nonetheless

thats a neat color for the grass, is there a desaturation filter or is it actually that color?

i think my cat thinks that the front and back doors go to completely different places she went out the backdoor, was displeased by the rain, and then wanted to go out the front door

if your site shows an image of “<x> with a transparent background” and uses a standrard checkered background behind the image but the thing is a JPEG, because you are demanding some additional step…. youre an asshole.

Also a bunch that are saying “AKSHUALLU DARK MODE IS BAD FOR PPL WITH ASTIMGATISM” Ok great, hence dark MODE. Mode, like modality or modal. Meaning an “option”.

Aaron H @armahillo.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Just read 10 a11y articles about dark mode that seem to think people asking for dark mode support are asking for “Dark Mode for Everyone”, and concluding that users should be given a choice 🙃🫠🤪 OBVIOUSLY Why would you think we want dark mode universally and not just support “prefers-color-scheme”

Thanks internet “content” “creators”. I now hate the Interstellar soundtrack.

Serious question: how do your priorotize reading? What habits did you change / build? I would like to read more like I did long ago but it’s been difficult to get back into that habit.

Aaron H @armahillo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The more AI slop comments / posts I see, the easier it’s been to step away from a social media platform and break doomscrolling. So, thanks I guess?

It’s kinda shitty that company apps use the same “allowed notifications” for sending you both important notices (“your bill is due!”) and also spam/marketing messages (“check out this offer!”)

If your website has a dark mode setting (thank you!), and also a “match browser” setting…. why would you default to “light mode” instead of “match browser”? :staring directly at Jira:

The more I work with LLMs the more I realize that the (necessary!) human component is the _wisdom_ to complement the LLMs “intelligence”.

Both “Obsession” and “Backrooms” are creative, well-produced, and thought-provoking (“Backrooms” especially) Both felt like the right mix of tension and terror. I hope more auteur films are given chances going forward, given the success of these

Realizing it’s possible to interpret that to mean “I am inspired by them and want more” No, it is the opposite. They got job but should not have job. Better people would be better at job even if not friend to large man with bad tan.

Capitalism and the free market arent equivalent / fully interchangeable right? Like Capitalism _has a_ (but not “is”) free market? Serious question. I def see benefits in a free market but its always billed as being inextricable from capitalism and I suspect that isnt true

Everytime I see the decisions Hegseth and Bessent make, it makes me sad that we have top gov’t positions staffed by ideology and not by merit, experience, or qualification.

I know that the “eternal” in “eternal september” effectively means infinitely long and unending, but the past few years of reddit noobs asking for free labor instead of RTFS feels like we’re exploring new levels of “eternal”, like some kind of Cantor thought experiment but more tedious.

If the stance of corporate is that this is meant to supplement the employee wages, then just raise the fucking price, right? It's weirdly shitty to ask me to arbitrarily raise the price on myself through some kind of weird moral imposition.

To be clear: I tip baristas, delivery drivers, waitstaff, etc. I have no problem tipping. This is carryout. I ordered on the app. The only service being provided is making the pizza and handing it over the counter...which is just providing the product I'm paying for.

Aaron H @armahillo.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

People on reddit really need to be learn how to RTFS before asking questions. It's kind of annoying how often users go on there and, whether intentionally or not, ask others for free labor when the answers are likely already in the sub.

Aaron H @armahillo.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

If I am ordering carryout pizza, why am I being prompted for a tip?

The thing I find the most concerning about all of it right now is the degree to which his admin has been corrupting the judicial system. Our judicial system often have long terms (sometimes lifelong) and there has been a huge increase in politicization of these roles by judges. This is v worrisome.

Everytime I see yet another news story about civilians taking down the Private Sector Panopticon, I am reminded of this Red Meat comic webcomics.dualsquirrel.net/comics-redme... -- comic title: "Gabriel's Spit Trap"

When i was in TO last weekend i saw some news about the “recently discovered white nationalist training ground” and some headline that sounded like a secession of some kind? Immediately thought of you wtf is even going on out there!?

It is weirdly enraging to be repeatedly told by Spectrum (ISP)'s chatbot that it is a human when it _very clearly is not_. The chatbot also told me that I have "too much time" and "need more hobbies" (which is hilarious if you know me at all; I definitely do not need MORE hobbies).

When you go to sign a docusign document, it presents different "styles" of signatures. These are all uncanny valley human-looking-signatures. But none of them are your actual signature. What is the point of this? It seems completely performative.

I remember this CD blowing my mind as a teen. I’d have the disc in the CDROM drive while playing Quake so it was used as the soundtrack. A rare no-skips album
