No. The Tiktok ban is because the PRC is using it to track US (and other country's') citizens. This is fundamentally no different than what Facebook has been doing for years, but C…

They speak French in Louisiana, German in Amish Country, Gullah in North Carolina... Your ignorance doesn't make you correct.

YES! " just " means hours and hours and hours [...] and hours of work!

Aww! Cute picture! Look at those Cargo pants/shorts... wait... Why does home-boy have a f-ing machete?!

"""people think problems are easy to solve from the outside because they just don't understand the problem""" This is called [The Dunning–Kruger effect]( https://en.wikipedia.org/w…

The difference between California, Texas, South Dakota, Maine, Ohio are as different as Turkey, France, Australia, Ireland, Japan... It's a really foolish opinion or disregard the …

Yeah, the TikTok ban isn't about restricting content for US users, it's about restricting the data vacuum that is the PRC. TikTok has already been banned for Govmnt employees for y…

I remember when Facebook released an "OS" for the phone (it was really just a skin for Android). While I'm really happy to see that FB is making another stab into the field with th…

You have to squint pretty hard to think that I'm "trash talking" anything in my post.

I'll go ahead and say that neovim is bad. Any reason to use neovim has long since past. I didn't start the editor wars, but the neovim team jumped in with both feet. They deserve t…

The scariest difference between OpenAI and Google right now is: Ask Gemini who owns the code it writes, and it'll confidently say that Google does. Ask OpenAI, and it'll say that y…

This is exactly my problem. For some things it's great, but it quickly forgets things that are critical for extended work. When trying to put together and sort of complex work: it …

I thought we already solved this problem [ONCE AND FOR ALL!]( https://youtu.be/0SYpUSjSgFg?si=9Oodfb1SgHvTZWLa )

Like, it's super weird to have an external battery but not the rest of the non-visual hardware, right?

"Meta doesn't have that good will to draw on" this is literally what drove my purchase. I just don't trust FB to respect me as a human, let alone as a paying customer. I think, "Ye…

At best, and most forgiving, the AVP is trying to not be a VR headset. I guess it's pretty "resolutionary" to not be the thing that you obviously are.

Here's my complaints, while we're complaining: + Apple appears to have worked *VERY* hard to make sure that there is no VR capability in it's VR headset. Most obvious is that it ca…

My favorite git commit is "Bug fixes"

As a dyslexic person, I can assure you that reading is not a universally enjoyable activity. You should enjoy your gifts, though. I do enjoy a good walk.
