Trad Wife memes are always like a traditionally attractive skinny blonde woman in a white dress, in a field of flowers, holding hands with their immaculate children. The text always says something like, Why are you working a job, instead of doing your true calling? This is Godly Motherhood!

This how I know these are made by people who have never been around children, or possibly even women, and also never had to worry about money.

#enshittification continues with #streaming services, to nobody's surprise.

#netflix basic plan now has ads.

#spotify "premium" comes with access to a library of audio books, but you can only listen for 15 hours a month.

What?

I know, they like money, but this whole rent-grabbing for being the platform sucks.

Not a new observation.

Just venting.

From @thegrugq

1978, the Cray-1 supercomputer cost $7 million, weighed 10,500 pounds and had a 115 kilowatt power supply. It was, by far, the fastest computer in the world,” Longbottom writes of the device, designed as the flagship product of Seymour Cray’s high-performance computing company. “The Raspberry Pi costs around $70 (CPU board, case, power supply, SD Card), weighs a few ounces, uses a five watt power supply and is more than 4.5 times faster than the Cray 1

A modest proposal for business regulation, that will never happen.

Any public company that lays off more than 10% of its work force during a single consecutive 12 month period must include any executive who made a hiring decision that brought in one of the laid off workers.

It's evidence of clear incompetence in their duty to the company to have over hired so egregiously.

Only reasonable they participate in the consequences of their actions.

Mastodon is what happens when people who mostly live inside their own heads get a Social Media.

All the FAQs I see these days are marketing fluff. I recall actually going through support tickets and pulling out the actual repeatedly asked questions to make those back in the day

My "Dumb Stuff" post is "doing numbers" in Mastodon terms.

Anyone have specific recommendations for an electric induction range?

Primary desire, reliable and long life. Secondary: no wifi app

A while back I wrote a couple of blog posts about how I think LLMs will be a net negative (at least in the near term), due to the extreme overhyping giving people unrealistic expectations of their ability. The direct result will be an overall degrade in internet usability as people begin flooding platforms with low quality spam that they erroneously believe to be high quality. Previously it was fairly easy to spot someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, but now LLMs enable them to word things convincingly enough to waste the time of even domain experts.

Even now I'm still often surprised by all the creative ways that people are finding to waste other's time. I just saw this post from one of the curl maintainers reporting that they've been receiving nonsense bug bounty reports based on LLM hallucinations, which I imagine is likely due to people trying to automate bug hunting despite lacking the understanding to confirm their finding. They reported that in one case the submission was convincing enough that they went over the code 3 times before coming to the conclusion that no bug existed and the report was likely AI generate.

My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.

"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.

That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.

Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.

I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.
