The app found one pair this morning on my commute and a whole bunch of Quests. It will pickup VR headsets.

That is how Bluetooth works. Its open and scanning for your devices. And another devices nearby too. If you ever ride public transit you notice that random device try to auto pair with your phone.

Have you ever heard the saying “don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” If you are a full time streamer it is literally the hand that feeds them. The streamers are in it for the ride. For every “lolz fuck you i got mine” there are 1000 streamers just making content.

It’s creating this state of mind which is going to kill everything. I was coding a website for fun on the weekend and streaming for one of my friends to see how some stuff works. Every other fucking person that joined the call opened with “I see you are vibe coding a website” when they could visibly see that i was not logged into coopilot, i was using VS on my gaming PC like a chump. These are all CS people and now everything defaults to using an LLM. We are doomed as a whole.

Try to explain to them that we will never be as weathly as they are and how we will receive 0 inheritance from them because they planned out how to spend their entire retirement savings not knowing what end of life care actually costs.

There is a reason we think boomers are out of touch.

It’s the ultimate vendor lock. All of our productivity software is on windows, we designed our productivity stacks around windows.

As far as I am concerned I am going to do the opposite of anything Sam Altman says. He is the ultimate snake oil salesman. He sold this trash to Microsoft, which I guess these days is pretty on brand.

Real question, what stops Root from having the same problems as Discord?

Does Stoat have voice chat?

I figure losing half their users while making money on their new surveillance scheme might be more profitable. Than have 100% of their user continue to use the app as is.

Since the 90s every few years you have had to move. You get over it eventually. There will be stragglers that will always hold on to the old one, they will be the last to the new platform. It’s happened before and it will happen again.

We were using multiple chat clients up to 2015.

After work do you say to yourself “work work work for money money money”, because those are the vibes you are giving off.

One Friday I had to go into to the office for an early meeting. Walked in the, saw my boss, my boss’ boss, HR, and an owner. I just said Fuck out loud and was immediately reassured that it is not what it looks like. They were laying people off, some of which were my friends. IT will always know before hand, we have to deactivate people’s access in a way they don’t notice until they get their meetings/calls. It does not feel good.

While you think sysadmins are your enemy, you are you own enemy and we are just trying to save you from yourself.

I have found they are the most likely to have lower computer literacy than they need to be for their job. It’s not optional, no SysAdmin should have to babysit someone.

Its worse, it is basically temporary information archives that can disappear at any time, plus security BS. There is going to a 10 year gap of lost information when Discord goes away/becomes unusable. Forums last forever, I have a backup for one that nobody has used in 10 years, that information could never be lost.

For the longest time this was just a bad faith argument. It turns out everything they do is in bad faith and they are running the world with the attitude that everything I do does not matter in the long run because I will be dead, never witnessing the consequences. I don’t think older people should be allowed to vote without passing a political ‘literacy’ test.

This is the best answer, closest to the truth.
