Does bun actually do anything insane like that in its unsafe blocks?

How would anyone even know, it's vibe coded.

Terrible thigns like....cheaper housing and....higher wages.

The horror.

People will more often than not, take the path of least resistance. Even if you tell them it's dangerous they will not care. People run this stuff on their primary workstation, unconfined, with permissions disabled because they don't want be bothered with accepting permission requests. This is all well and good until it decides to drop your production database or delete your home directory. Most of them don't even learn their lesson after that even.

Feature flags are so ridiculously simple I have never needed to outsource this to someone else.

So did Nazi eugenics.

The best way to fight back is to not play the game at all. AI slop has completely ruined the internet, it's not going to get better. It was already on a massive downard trend pre-AI and generative AI has only accelerated the decline by 100x. It's only going to get worse from here.

uBlock Origin: Settings -> Filter Lists -> EasyList –> Annoyances -> EasyList –> AI Widgets

It's not perfect but the internet feels slightly better when AI garbage is not constantly being shoved in my face 24/7.

I want to go one step further -> I want to hide widgets, but I also want to intercept the request it would have made and replace the payload with garbled nonsense. Similar to how Ad Nauseam will hide ads but it also clicks every single one to poison the data collection.

And for this reason alone you will pry Firefox from my cold, dead hands.

So you're just constantly committing untested versions of you work?

macos itself is sluggish af

I booted up an OLD imac stuck on 10.something, with an - I can't remember which gen - i5 and only 8gb of ram and I was blown away by how much it FLIES on that ancient hardware - even compared to my M1 Max Mac Studio

Apple Silicon is great. Everything else sucks.

ReactOS came first though.

Why do you need to have a whole fork to remove them when there is a single AI killswitch option already?

It's been a few years and I have yet to see a single novel thing come out of it. Even chatbots weren't novel when ChatGPT came out.

I've been jumping between Maple Mono and a custom Iosevka build that I've been tweaking here and there for the better part of 3 years. Jetbrains Mono is also really nice if you want something a bit more neutral.

As someone that switches between MacOS (dayjob) and Linux (my own PCs) workstations daily - I wish I could do the opposite for Linux. MacOS keyboard shortcuts are just way more intuitive to me, and they are way more consistent across applications.

A cheap mini-pc in your closet.

AI isn't an excuse for war crimes. Remember this at, and after, election time.

Or more appropriately - The Talos Principle.

My company has been massively affected by this over the past month.

It sucks having to tell customers "this is on Microsoft's end, we're trying to work through it with them but we don't have an ETA and can't say more than that" because Microsoft support is absolutely useless. The other day we changed some DMARC/SPF records around and that seemed to do the trick but now it appears to just be a coincidence.

Never saw the point of these desktop apps. Docker (and podman) works just fine from the CLI only.

I don't care that the non-gnu coreutils are using rust. I care that they aren't GPL licensed.

This means Canonical can offer proprietary patches on top of these packages and sell them as part of their "enterprise" offerings and this gives me the ick.

"if you're so much more productive with AI, what have you built with it"

If my boss asked me a question like this my reply would be "exactly what you told me to build, check jira".

If you want to know if I'm more productive - look at the metrics. Isn't that what you pay Atlassian for? Maybe you could ask their AI...

Ironic, because AI Agent integration is their business model.

I just wish this was possible somehow without essentially making corporate mass-surveillance a requirement.
