Screenshot of cnn.com. Main story is "Western powers accuse Russia of posing a threat in space". The image for the story is a scene from Command & Conquer: Red Alert. You know, the one with Tim Curry going to space.

Holy shit that site is *hilarious*
A lobster discussion about frustrating aspects of Open Source. A: "If I ever publish code again, it'll be if it's part of my job and I'm getting paid for it." B: "these sound more like GitHub / Discord issues than open source issues." C: "It only sounds like a github/discord issue because those are the platforms that people use. It's fundamentally a social problem within open source, no matter what platform is used to handle it the issues will still be there." B: "I disagree. GitHub and Discord enable and encourage a certain mode of interaction and also select for people with certain attitudes. I don't hear the same complaints from developers who use other platforms or no platforms."

A (very angry) thread titled "Firefox Forcing LLM Features" which was given the flair "vibe coding" because why the fuck not I guess?

The same screenshot, but instead of "I will always love you" the AI-generated woman says "I will divorce you"

2/10

Only acceptable if you somehow think "kimchi" means "tomato", since this basically tastes like a slightly spicy tomato broth.

(Also found out it's a Unilever product so I'm probably going to hell for it, too)

The famously "it just works" macOS where you have to use *text search* (that isn't even fuzzy) to find the setting you're looking for
Screenshot of the macOS System Settings app. Me searching for "input menu bar" in the search field.

This makes me so happy! #connectrpc
"Connect can work with any schema definition language, but it comes with built-in support for Protocol Buffers. Because the Protocol Buffer specification includes mappings to and from JSON, any Connect API defined with a Protobuf schema also supports JSON. This is especially convenient for web browsers and ad-hoc debugging with cURL." The part about JSON is highlighted.

Just some very normal things the terminal AI haters are free to say on this site while people will get hidden from most of their followers for saying "fuck" a lot with no way to appeal.
"Once the bubble bursts all the AI boosters should have to get “AI” tattooed on their forehead so everyone knows what kind of idiot they’re dealing with." "Carved in with a know, like Inglorious Bastards."
