    If someone else is doing something good and you're not, it's easier to lash out at them than accept that you're not a flawless person. Since veganism often has a moral dimension (eg: cruelty to animals, environmental damage), some people struggle with this. They want to be good people, but eating meat is being cast as bad. Thus, lash out at whatever's making them feel bad.

  • Guy is a dangerous idiot. You should always use protection.

  • Did you drink alcohol when you were younger than me?

    Jump

  • I think I had a small amount of alcohol at weddings and new years celebrations when I was a teenager.

    My parents don't have the healthiest relationship with alcohol. it's not the worst, but it never seemed cool or fun. It was just dad having a few cheap beers while watching the game. They never told me not to drink, either. No "forbidden fruit" allure.

  • I don't intentionally consume caffeine. No coffee. Only herbal tea. No energy drinks. There might be some in chocolate, but I don't eat much chocolate.

    When I was a kid my whole family were like coffee fiends. Couldn't get going without a cup. I never wanted to be like that.

  • In America, we resolve our political differences at the ballot box,

    Do we though?

  • A Trump voter whose son was killed by ICE is calling for an end to "abuse and impunity" at the agency - CBS News

    Jump

  • I really would like less news coverage of trump supporters. Their opinions are bad. I'd like the news media to focus on humanizing everyone else.

  • Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect."

  • All tools are not equally safe nor should they all be publicly available.

    A chainsaw is a tool that you might cause harm with if you use it in stupid ways. We don't give chainsaws out to children. We don't use chainsaws for cutting dinner.

    There are human elements to the problem but that's not a big reveal.

  • TIL that the worst driver in New York City likes to drive around in Brooklyn. He received 259 speeding tickets and paid over $60,000 in fines.

    Jump

  • Revoke their license. Scale fines with wealth. Mandate thousands of hours of community service for speeders. Don't just do nothing and hope it sorts itself out.

  • Meta Workers Say They're Seeing Disturbing Things Through Users' Smart Glasses

    Jump

  • These things should probably be banned, and Facebook dissolved with its leadership punished for their crimes.

  • Postman Strikes Again

    Jump

  • I dislike postman. I see job postings that are like "MUST KNOW POSTMAN". Fuck, people should know how to make API requests but postman isn't the only tool for that.

    Furthermore, if I'm doing automated tests to run on PR I'm not going to use a GUI. Pytest or jest or whatever testing library your language has.

    I did use Bruno for a while for convenience during local development, though.

  • What's the browser(s) you use?

    Jump

  • Hm maybe I'll try that. Looks like there's an android version

  • Just cook the chicken at 600C for 10min

  • I think a lot about how one time we spent s few hours estimating how long a project would take. Management came back and said no, that's too long, we'd need to finish in a month.

    Well if that's how long it has to take why not lead with that?

    Bunch of idiot empty husks doing cargo-cult "agile"

  • What's the browser(s) you use?

    Jump

  • Firefox. It's fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing's caused me enough pain to switch yet

  • Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes

  • Seems fair. Was a pretty big fuck up. Might deter others from making similar fuck ups.

  • Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law

  • That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.

    No government should be relying on private platforms like that.

  • Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades

  • The suits at Microsoft are out of their fucking minds.

    Yes. They are stupid and don't deserve their huge paychecks.

    They could've done basically nothing. Maybe security updates. And they would've had a decent brand that kept bringing in money. Their leadership is worse than doing nothing. A dog would make a better ceo.
