    ABC refuses to capitulate to U.S President admin, fights FCC probe into 'The View' | FCC chair Brendan Car hasn’t been able to bully ABC and owner Disney into submission.

  • Same. I had Disney+ and Hulu for YEEEARS until that happened. I canceled immediately. Also canceled Paramount after having it for years when they canceled Colbert for no reason other than to appease the dipshit president.

    "This could cost people their jobs": VS Code added Copilot as co-author without permission or notice

  • Beyond VSCodium (which I have switched to since this news), what are everyone’s favorite alternatives that are easy to switch to?

    I say easy to switch to because no one is jumping to Vim or whatever on this news. I don’t mean to offend the deeply Linuxed, but they aren’t.

  • Google Chrome is reportedly auto-installing a massive 4GB AI model without your consent

    Jump

  • They don’t tell you they are doing it, for one.

    Even though this 4GB is local, the “omnibox” at the top that also uses Gemini shit doesn’t use this 4GB and still goes to the web to determine the slop it wants to provide.

  • I have nothing meaningful to add here about the discussion, but I wanted to say I got an opportunity to cycle around Belgium last year through several towns and the countryside and it was such a great experience. Everyone was nice, and it was a wonderful time. As someone from the USA, I'm envious.

  • Agentic Coding is Burning Me Out | Sid's Blog

  • Everyone has their own style, but Bob over here doesn't change his style every day. Before, my boss had their own style, and if I ended up working on their code I'd try to match that just to keep things consistent. But now it's all over the place.

    AI slop just flops out whatever it feels like at any given time since it's just cribbing everything from the internet.

  • One of my bosses has been a little Ai-pilled recently and he also contributes code.

    I can tell which parts are his AI slop not from any git blame or anything but because of how it looks. You can see the stylistic differences in a block of code from one file to the next, and also it seems like AI likes to add comments to everything, and he just copy and pastes it all into the file. Those comments are often very different looking, too. So just stylistically everything is all over the place.

  • I just Bezos wasn't invested in the company. I'd hate to give that fucker any more money if I can help it.

  • Windows 11’s push for mandatory Microsoft accounts is hitting a nerve with users who say the change complicates setup, privacy, and basic PC ownership

  • Windows 10 kept throwing up full screen ads for whatever bullshit they were trying to get me to sign up for while also telling me my computer wasn't good enough for Windows 11.

    And that's how I ended up with Mint on my desktop and laptop a couple months ago.

    I have to use Windows for work, but my personal machines are Linux and macOS at this point, and I have zero intention of buying another windows license.

  • Newly purchased Vizio TVs now require Walmart accounts to use smart features

    Jump

  • Yep. Just don't connect it. Or connect it once a year to get some firmware updates if one wants (or better yet use a USB stick).

    I have a good Samsung TV, but when I had it connected to the internet the UI would be painfully slow every time I needed to switch inputs (I have most things running through my receiver, but my PC was straight into the TV). Turning off all internet functions vastly improved my experience with this TV.

    I get paid well, I work from home, and we take every other Friday off because we can. But the work itself isn't groundbreaking, though I don't hate it or anything.

    None of that sounded good.

  • I have 100% called in sick from another state just as my friends and I were about to get on a gondola to go up to the top of a mountain.

    I was on the phone saying I felt terrible when “NEXT CAR ARRIVING” or something similar blared over a loudspeaker.

    “What was that?” they asked. “Oh, just the tv. fake cough”
