I guess we're back to this at travel booking, it was a nice few years of almost acceptable flying around...

flight booking TOS-BUD with a text "! TOS-TRD Cancelled"

Flight booking CPH-TOS with text "! BUD-CPH Cancelled"

I hate how companies these days don't really even care if their stuff works or not, just some vibecoded bs everywhere

Enshittification intensifies... github's promised continued free CI for open source but I am already locked out after using 5 minutes of CI without further explanations (no links to click). (in other news I made a new release of omorfi: github.com/flammie/omor...)

Github error message in CI window:

Annotations
1 error
The job was not started because your account is locked due to a billing issue.

I tend to lose weight during the only month of the year I'm not exercising but binge drinking and eating irregularly, this is why

AI is coming to take your jobs... (original on r/finland: www.reddit.com/r/Finland/co... ) Ok, it's an idiom but it's also not even translated too literally, it's kind of like, picking off meanings of some words and vibing, a vibe translation if you may...

Can I just say that these AI based grammatical error correction systems are so atrocious, I cannot believe people actually use these. The funniest thing is is, it in this case is correcting its own previous correction, I wrote "the contribution of the authors" and it rewrote it to "authors'" first!

why is software? Is microsoft outlook vibe coded now? I can't even.

Text in Norwegian asking: "Tidssonen for møtetimer er satt till (UTC+01:00) Brussel, København, Madrid, Paris. Vil du oppdatere den til (UTC+01:00) Brussel, København, Madrid, Paris?" (i.e. do you want change timezone from +0100 to +0100 with exact same places listed)

this is github's showcase use case of AI (I clicked on it on an front page ad), seriously, a rule-based template filling would of done better 100 %, there's nothing useful or specific to my github here, what's even the point.

what is this I'm not even sure anymore

I love it when visa application forms both say "incorrect information will be punished harshly" and make it impossible to fill in correct informations (example from Indian evisa application)

Visa information entry form:
"Other information: Countries visited in last 10 years: (input box) Finland, Ireland, USA, ... about 25 more entries, (red highlighted warning message) Maximum 20 countries"

You have to love it when AI gives you useful corrections, somehow both accept and reject will add syntax errors to my code.

$overleaf's AI-based latex co-pilot suggesting to replace code "\end{itemize}" with "\end{itemize}." or "[,0]" which are both invalid latex$
