Spotify genre Playlists are not created by humans. It's impossible. And if they are, they are created by humans who don't understand genres. wtf is some of this shit?

People on the modern internet can only think in extremes. It may be related to generations of kids being raised on social platforms where engagement is driven by people on the extremes. Then the viewers, I guess, adopt this way of seeing things? As if this was normal or healthy.

Meanwhile McDonald’s has replaced all its workers with kiosks, forces you to use an app if you want anything approximating a deal, and it will still cost you $10 for any amount of food larger than feeding a hummingbird with a dropper. Damn they sure fooled you good.

I've been playing Database Detective for a few hours and the game is very cool. Highly recommend you give it a shot if you like the idea of playing investigator connecting dots across data, internet, voice messages, and other.

It's incredible to me that in an era where email scams are out of control, Outlook decides to remove the "show message source" option. How in the F are we supposed to help our less technically inclined staff identify what's real and what's most likely a scam?

If you're new or recent in the software dev industry, keep this in mind: if you feel that an LLM can generate better code that you can, or that it can suggest better designs than you, this isn't a sign that you should just lay back and let the LLM take the wheel. On the contrary...

I think it's awesome to see games coming out in iOS in the same release window as they do in Steam. But please, devs, I beg you, add text scaling options to your mobile releases. That tiny ass font that works great on a TV is hard to read on a phone (and I have one of the big ones!)

Even into the late 2000s, I contracted at some places that were still resisting to create web apps, for example. The teams had to push for years for them to change their minds.

Omarchy is an interesting project, but those $300k that were donated to it would be better served if they were donated to the actual projects behind all of it: arch linux, neovim, hyprland, etc. DHH doesn't need that money (regardless of what you think of him or Omarchy).

I hate how often now I receive emails from service providers letting me know that they need to raise the price of their products because of how much AI shit they have added (shit I didn't ask for, and that I don't use). At this point self hosting something else is starting to look more attractive

It's always amusing to read how people who know their field can articulate how using gen-AI doesn't really work for their field, but then follow up with how they think it can be used in other fields where they don't have any of the knowledge or expertise.

Dear indie devs working on, or who have already published, an incremental game on Steam: please consider making iOS ports. Mobile is IMO a great place to play incremental games on. Please 🙏

Reposting because as employers we all need to do better than demonize employees that are voicing injustices in the system. Of course, we also need to do better and not perpetuate the injustices in the first place. I hope it wasn't an empty apology and that things at Saber will change.

Can you believe that in Windows Server 2025, disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 for your web server still requires a manual registry change (and a subsequent reboot no less)? This is bonkers to me. How is this not configurable in an official Microsoft tool? Yes, I know there is a 3rd party one.

This is the same old "you can't solve weightlifting with a forklift" thing that happens again and again with current consumer uses of AI: the point of reading a book is not to finish the book easily, it's to READ the book, especially if the book asks you to do something that feels difficult

Sunday rant: The idea that we should have to publicly assert that we don't use AI to make games is absurd to me. Before that, wouldn't there need to be a step where AI is demonstrably any good for making games? Do we also have to assert that we aren't working with both arms tied behind our backs?
