Asskeys

There is an ongoing trend in the industry to move people away from username and password towards passkeys. The intentions here are good….

Ima stop you there. The intentions are not, in fact, good. Quite the opposite. How do people write such clownish crap? Do they mean to be this stupid?

The whole idea of passkeys was created to promote vendor lock-in. It had fuck-all to do with user safety or protecting anyone. I just cannot believe the asinine doofy garbage people believe.

Anyone who uses Passkeys if a fucking fool. Full-on idiot. Damn slave morality and slave mentality everywhere now.

Not Goldilocks

Perhaps the stupidest cabinet in history, and that’s saying a lot.

Hell, it’d be a lot less efficient, but if you covered just existing buildings and parking lots with solar panels, you could provide about 30% of global energy (not just current electricity) alone.

How are these fucknuggets so damn porridge-brained? They are no brighter than a lead-poisoned four-year-old.

Looking To

Why are people so harsh towards guys who are looking for women to date?

In most matters, women always get the benefit of the doubt. Men almost never do.

Thus, man looking to date: Just wants sex. Probably wants to abuse women. Must not be able to meet women “naturally” (whatever the fuck that means these days). Most likely a rapist looking for victims. Pitiful.

However, woman looking to date: Aww, poor baby. She deserves the best. Why won’t anyone give her a chance, despite her glaring personality flaws and mental illness? She deserves a high-worth man over six feet tall, and in Hugh-Jackman-at-his-peak shape, even though she could defeat a whale shark by mass alone in single combat, doesn’t work, and is 4’11”.

The standards women are held to are vastly different than those men are held to. Anyone who denies that is smoking all the crack.

Fielded

One of the reasons is I am not worried about competition at my level is I have an extremely diverse skill stack, am an expert in 7+ areas, and there is no competition coming up behind me. There is even less now, actually, because AI is hollowing out junior-level roles so the competition that was on the way will never emerge. And at the moment, AI can only do about 5% of my role (and even that, poorly).

Destroying the junior to senior pipeline is terrible overall and clownish, but means no one will be taking my job. There simply will be no one left who could do it.

Sideload My Fist

Are you allowed to run whatever computer program you want on the hardware you own?

What a dumbass.

Hell fucking yes I should be able to load whatever software I want onto hardware I own. Anything else is outright tyranny and should be punished severely.

This is just a scam alliance with a clown pretending to be “reasonable” and Google et al. who very much wish to prevent us from owning anything and with them being in control of all we see, experience, and are able to run.

Evil, evil all around.

Inco Fact

Yup. The FA movement has always hated this, but the fact is the fitter and the less obese you are prior to surgery the better you do after.

Another inconvenient fact.

AI Off

It doesnโ€™t really matter if AI can really do your job or not, itโ€™s so much cheaper they will try it anyway.

Exactly. That’s what so many otherwise smart people do not understand about AI. I am actually not sure how they can be so incredibly naรฏve about how this will work.

In short, it does not matter if an AI can actually do your job. If an MBA thinks they can string together four mediocre to bad AI agents to do your job for 1/20 the cost and 1/4 the quality, that is what is gonna happen.

It’s already happening. Pretending it’s not is just pure clownery.

Splash

SpaceX bounces back with a Starship test flight that ended on a buoyant note.

Huh! I was told this rocket would never work. Never. That’s what all the good liberals said.

And that’s what they also said about SpaceX’s other rockets nearly a decade-and-a-half ago. Not a great track record, really. The funny part about doing hard things is they often fail a lot in the initial phases.

Get out there and build shit. Ignore the posers, losers, doubters and haters. That’s all you can really do.

Fclown

It is insane. Culture wars make people utterly brainless. I do all the things that work and avoid the things that don’t. And these work: lifting weights, healthy eating, GLP-1 agonists1, and creatine. Also, mRNA vaccines are awesomesauce and vaccines in general are hugely beneficial to everyone.

Believing or doing anything else is fucking clownish.

  1. I have never taken this, but not opposed to it.

Econ BS Preemption

Yes, yes, houses were smaller in 1960, insert the usual economist blah blah bullshit here. The point is that it was far easier to buy a house in 1960. And I can’t buy part of a fucking house. No matter what the econs say, it’s just a more difficult time for younger people.

RTO Extro

Introverts – How do yall survive work?

I was lucky to be born with a really big brain so I can get away with more than most, but I also struggled in the extrovert-dominated in-person office cultures I’ve been a part of. I just have no desire to hang out with people nothing at all like me for hours on end each day, nor engage in endless sports chats or hear someone’s opinions on politics. Or share my own.

One of the reasons RTO has been demanded is that remote work does not benefit the extroverts nearly as much. Still does, but it’s not 90/10 extroverts, only like 60/40. So they hate WFH and demand (successfully) RTO.

I don’t want to be friends with my co-workers. I just don’t, sorry. I’ll be polite and do my job, but other than that I should not be expected do anything else.

Your social needs are not my problem.

Wรฆter

Data center water consumption is extremely small no matter the use case. The objection to it for AI and anything else is just typical degrowther bullshit.
