Ah, conversational "AI" everywhere

I wonder how long it'll be until this hype bubble pops

Me, 30 years later: wait, why is it 2πr and not just πd?

I like how the metaverse didn't happen

Facebook evaporated billions of dollars on it and then just... nothing

Even autocorrect is like "that's not a word"

Am I right that filters in Mastodon just flat out don't work?

Is there any way to make an Android app without sticking your face in the blender that is Java and Android Studio and made up stuff like whatever the hell Gradle is?

Let's say I just wanted a 2D canvas to draw on, maybe some touch events, maybe (if you're feeling generous) the ability to play sounds

scream if you want to go faster

Anybody else get annoyed that you could make some code faster but there's no point because the computer's so fast that it can run it instantly anyway?

OK... what?

This makes me uncomfortable

Ugh my soul demands that I do something creative, but every time I try, my brain just rebels

I wonder if I'm burnt out or something - isn't inability to do things you love a symptom of that?

I can never remember the definitions of "yak shaving" or "bikeshedding"

I know they're generally negative, but I can't remember specifically what they mean

I've looked up the definitions a lot of times over the years, but the information just doesn't stick

Hydrogen is short for Hydro Gennifer and is named after Archimedes' girlfriend

Not sure whether I want to use isometric or 3/4 perspective for my game

It's a big decision because I'm not good at art so it'll be painful if I have to redo it all a different way

It feels like it's really common for people who play games to want to make them. Usually coding is a big barrier, but I taught myself coding and so my big barrier is art...

I want a dedicated screen to show me my clipboard history

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to remember my phone number.

It's just numbers!

The good thing about Facebook's Threads is that it gives headline writers lots to play with

"Threads comes unraveled"

"Threads is threadbare"

"Threads is all stitched up"

So if you remove the browser from the equation is there any point in WebAssembly?

Is it just platform independence because you compile whatever language to WebAssembly which then runs it on the local hardware?

So I tried to upgrade the OS on my Raspberry Pi because Pi-hole doesn't support my OS anymore, and it seems to be bricked

This is consistent with my experience of Linux

I have surgery tomorrow so I've taken the day off work

It's kind of weird to be looking forward to being knocked unconscious and cut open because at least you're not at work...

Don't you love it when they put a URL in a message box, where you can't click on it or even copy and paste it into the browser?

I have a weird desire for a piece of clockwork, small enough to fit in your pocket or hold in your hand, that vibrates strongly once a second. Like a pocket watch but without the clock face and with much stronger vibration.

I kind of want to hold it when I'm talking, to help remind me to slow down and enunciate.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to exist.
