There is legitimate promise to LLM-assisted coding, but there are also legitimate risks. Like this. And no one here is malicious!
One of the many joys of using AI for programming is the creation of huge PRs on complex topics that the authors barely understand, but still suggest "because they work". Here's a great example from #OCaml github.com/ocaml/ocaml/...

Kudos to OCaml's maintainers for handling this so gracefully.

You see a guy who looks like a doge staffer, and you instantly know to stay the hell away from that little freak.

You see a woman with blue hair, and you know she is not only cool but her mere presence drives those freakish dudes away into their podcast studios to whine for 3 solid hours about woke

It's the weird incel nerd freaks who are displaying aposematism, not the women they endlessly whine about and get real fucking weird about

You can tell just by looking at them, the loser stink exudes from them screaming "woah there back off or else I'll start screaming weird slurs I heard on rogan"

Thinking today about how the planet’s surface is surrounded by a layer that grows or sustains all living things, and that layer is composed of the dead flesh of all the untold generations of living things that came before. I’m also thinking about boobs

i don't know how we went from "my house has a security camera that we can go back and check if anything ever happens" to "i am watching a live feed of my front porch at all times and if a child walks into my yard i'm going to scream at them over the intercom"

society would be massively improved if ring doorbells were banned completely actually
the AWS outage is affecting Ring doorbells. Sky News says “some users can’t see outside their house, definitely scary”

just look outside your window 😅

actually living in a neighborhood means other people will occasionally be near your house. that's literally what a society is. other people aren't your mortal enemy. YOU go live in the middle of nowhere if you think you're surrounded by criminals
Why did you have your post limiting responses to only your sycophants? Once you are outside your own home, you have no expectations of privacy in a public space. Don't like outside cameras? Go purchase 100 acres where you can expect privacy. Now go sit down.

the real reason lesbians use vibrators is because they scare the cat out of the room so they don't interrupt you

Real life is kind of a reverse Metroidvania if you think about it, you start out being able to climb and wiggle into places and fall from great heights without a scratch, and then one day you're ability gated by such as waking up wrong

okay so — bill kezos, umbire, link.

what is the pattern here?

why was moderation stricter for them than it is for anyone else?
October 6, 2025 at 3:46 PM
"do your own moderation!" and "make your own instance!" are hogwash. they're empty bad faith platitudes. "just make your own PDS! and your own relay! and your own appview! and host all of them! and then you'll finally be safe from the petulant baby tirades from our pathetic C-suite losers!"

So, to recap, Link said something about Jay that she didn’t like, so she dug all the way through his account in order to create a pretext for a permaban. Petty and think skinned doesn’t even begin to describe this.
Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason.

His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side.

Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

Banning Link, one of BlueSky's most prolific Black users, over the CEOs crash out defending her pet transphobes is totally unsurprising but still disappointing.

Someone should tell the team that the social media utopia for white moderates already exists and it isn't here.
