Can we please have some calm, stable, boring years please, before I'm dead? The last 5 years have already been "wild" enough. The world is unrecognizable. I'm unprepared for further wildness.

Is that code still active? I just tried to use it to buy the Pro version but it says it's invalid...

Ringing up expensive grocery items as cheap SKU at Whole Foods self checkout...

Going on shopping sprees and then calling the credit card company to report it as fraud...

Buying a fancy dress to wear for a few nights out and then returning it...

All things people close to me have done, or continue to do on a regular basis

Talking about a relatively "privileged" class of people here- multiple homes, multiple cars, kids in private school- not struggling single moms working double shifts to put food on the table.

Something's broken in our society.

> Customers simply don't care. I don't recall a single complain about microplastics in the past 10 years.

> You will be outcompeted if you waste your time reinventing the wheel and optimizing for stuff that doesn't matter. There is some market for safe, environmentally-friendly products, but you can clearly see that the companies that make them are struggling.

ok.

This is so bad it doesn't even seem humanly possible. Maybe this decision was made by Copilot itself.

Is there anything like this for macOS?

I pray you are right. Still, there's no guarantee that the next business model won't be an order of magnitude more user-hostile.

would very much like to see a small example of how to create, consume, and destroy those FIFOs...

Depends on your definition of "fun"

can you anonymously reveal what brand(s) those are? that sounds dangerous and probably illegal in most countries?

> Private IP space is incredibly useful ... This is _gone_ with IPv6

No, it's not. Learn about ULAs:

Are there many jobs where failure results in jail time? Pretty dystopian.

Not just tutors- the teachers are also obsolete. And so are the students!

AI is summarizing the lessons, writing the students' papers, then grading those papers for the teachers.

Time to shut down the entire education system.

Wonder if we'll see a similar headline about NVDA in 2050.

"Hell on Earth" - I don't think there is a more succinct or accurate way to describe the current environment.

but AI will calculate precisely the optimal amount of electricity to waste. so, win win

something something it's always DNS

As someone who has basically no hair left, I guess I've achieved permanent invisibility. Nice.

I'm no expert, but UBER with a current P/E of 11.7 is "cheaper" than 27 of the 30 Dow Jones Industrial stocks, and also well below the S&P500 long term historical average.

Tank ypu foe wriiting this

Yes, we know it works. Just ask the knowledgeable crowd over on r/wallstreetbets. They have the answer: just turn your phone upside down! Voila, line is going up again!

Would you mind sharing a link to "the xkcd thing" if you have it?

edit: sorry for being lazy, I scrolled a bit more and found it.

Was sad to read this. Of course I understand his decision but it was a very useful site and helped IPv6 keep limping along its (barely) upward trajectory.

Hopefully someone will come along to carry the torch.

Wait, there are people who actually don't hate Salesforce?

Ugh. This is peak macOS enshittification.

I was wondering why some of my build scripts were failing, turns out there's a pretty major event going on where the FreeBSD pkg repos for the upcoming 15.0-RELEASE are being completely rebuilt from scratch, and are thus mostly "empty".

E.g. https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/pstree-2... (404)

As a happy TinyPilot owner, I was sad to wake up this morning to find that they quietly sunsetted the forum. I was previously active there and it contained a wealth of info and (as forums tend to do) made the product more valuable because of the information sharing that takes place.

My theory is that, since last year's sale of the company[0] by its founder (Michael Lynch) they have been in "runway mode"- steadily winding down the business, providing fewer features, updates etc while they extract whatever $ remains out of the business. Sad to see, but competitors like JetKVM and the recently-announced GL.iNet Comet are surely going to eat away at sales.

I hope they reverse this decision.
