I would actually support this if the code was generated by the Copilot plugin, but this is just adding a blanket “Sent from my iPhone” on all code commits wtf.

This, for sure, but if she wants to dance I’ll dance with her. 🤪

For serious, tho: people change.

You sound like one of my exes. -_-

There’s nothing MS can do to make me trust them again. They can “love bomb” all they want, but a toxic ex is a toxic ex.

Publicly traded corporations will always exploit anything and anyone they can get away with to maximize their profits. They will only improve just enough to trap you again, then the exploitation begins again.

My 4-year-old loves this book. The plot is a bit dark, for such a cute book. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I warned most of my family and friends this was going to happen when I de-Googled and set up Immich and they all said I was paranoid.

you’re advocating updating without checking,

Uh… no. That’s not what I said. I said there’s risk in both updating and not updating. You need to do the assessment to decide which one is best for the situation.

Every dependency you don’t update is a zero day waiting to happen. All software carries risk.

Pretty sure their comment was sarcasm.

So this is malware, right?

The enshittification of Steam would really sting and significantly harm PC gaming as a whole.

As GabeN ages, I really worry about the day when he finally hands control of that company over, because as soon as ROI becomes their primary objective, it’s game over.

Prioritizing the experience and quality of the platform over profit maximization has actually earned them more money in the long run as they’ve slowly snowballed over all their competitors. I really hope the new stewards understand this and genuinely love gaming as a whole as it seems a lot of decision-makers at Valve currently do.

Over 20 years, easy. I started my PC life as a Mac user, switched to Windows for gaming, then switched to Linux for freedom. VLC has followed me the whole way and been a must-install since the first time I used it.

You may like archeology. My wife is an archeologist and she says that a lot of it is using science and history to make sense of people’s trash.

The thing to remember is our post-industrial conceptualization of trash is a little different than the past. For example, broken projectile points and their flakes are essentially just really old trash that was dropped when it broke or wasn’t useful anymore.

If you really like this, it’s not that far off from how archeologists date stuff. Though they collect a lot more datapoints, have more context, and use more references.

My family stayed at my house and “the TV wasn’t working,” because it doesn’t have network access and I use an Nvidia Shield instead, so they connected it to the Wi-Fi and ad overlays showed up in the menus! I’m still mad about it years later.

Luckily I dodged a bullet and it didn’t brick it or anything, and the ads went away when the internet access did. I just disconnected it from the network and manually banned the MAC address in case anyone else tries it again.

As soon as RAM isn’t more expensive than the TV.

Knowing snails, it’s probably trying to determine if that turtle is edible.

(Snails are herbivorous, but very dumb.)

Graphics are really good though.

Your confusion is understandable since MS has called like 4 different products “Copilot”. This refers to the coding assistant built into GitHub for everything from CI/CD to coding itself.

All code uploaded to GitHub is subject to being scraped by Copilot to both train and provide inference context to its model(s).

Basically having your code in GitHub is implicit consent to have your code fed to MSs LLMs.

The president’s Independence Day (1996) speech gets me almost every time.

Especially when he crescendos, “…the day when the world declared in one voice, we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight.”

The idea of every nation on Earth actually rallying behind a cause is such a romantic one.

This is not slop, this is political misinformation disinformation. Call it what it is.

Slop is annoying, but it’s just AI generated spam. This is much more purposeful and insidious. The tools you used to make it are irrelevant.
