Oh I know, I was expecting some sort of slam on vibe coding and AI about how to use it in the most outlandish way possible.

I was curious to see how to get a Masters of Fine Arts with vibe coding but this is much funnier!

But I MUST CONSUME MORE ELECTRONICS

I’m glad I don’t have these addictions people seem to have. “I need a computer to measure how much water my toilet uses!” “I need a computer in my refrigerator!” etc

We’ve passed the useful stage of computing, we are now in the “personal issues” phase.

But I want to be cool and awesome! I want to constantly re-learn how to do basic things over and over because TECHNOLOGY!!!

And I think China is evil and dumb… but I click “add to cart” on aliexpress in my sleep!

But I am deeply worried about totally renewable energy consumption by buying an endless stream of disposable baubles!

(Read above in some kind of sarcastic tone)

Where I’m from those were 10$ and legal in Quebec.

Are you living on a space station? What is this shitload of power? A whole 60 watts? Are you rationing AA batteries to run your household?

What is it with the bullshit fanciful rationalizations people come up with to consume consume consume?

Silicon Valley

In other words, our good democratic ally in the Middle East is doing good things.

I don’t have the addiction or condition that makes that compelling to me.

I can’t figure out why or how that is a need people have.

Can someone explain to me why you need anything more than directories filled with files to view content?

I’m struggling to understand why anybody would need or want something like Plex.

I want to watch a movie. I open explorer, go to the folder movies, select the movie, and double click the icon.

The end.

Yeah sadly now it’s the 6 o’clock news.

The original at least had some levity.

I feel like watching Disturbed’s cover of Land of Confusion again.

Great! Software isn’t bloated, convoluted, incomprehensible, fragile enough already!

We have 64 bit multi-core CPUs unconstrained by clock speeds, RAM, bus bottlenecks, instructions sets, addressing modes, registers, or storage speeds. Monitors are beyond visual resolution, graphics are pumped out at a rate of zillions and gazillions of 32 bit pixels per second. How can any software be anything less than instantaneous these days? How can this modern bloated AI-dreamt high-level sludge code be as slow as my Commodore 64 booting GEOS from a 5.25" floppy?

The mouse button shouldn’t even have time to bounce up from my finger releasing it and the screen should already be loaded.

“documentating” is not a word.

Pessimist has only one arm

I came back from the mall, they had one of those little trains for kids. The locomotive had two incredibly bright 6000K (blue-white) headlights. What for? You’re in a mall. It’s lit. You’re going 2 km/h. It’s just cheap one size fits all Aliexpress junk. Not a single thought went into the selection of these abominations.

If you need extra lights in summer, in daytime, on a cloudless noon, you shouldn’t be riding a vehicle. What gives you the right to blind and annoy oncoming pedestrians and drivers because of your misguided paranoia?

And typically, from my observations, the people crowing about biking being dangerous and they need safety … wear earbuds. Sure, seal off one of your senses and then complain about safety. We biked for decades without piercingly blinding Cree LEDs taped on our bodies 24/7.
