You know, I was mildly ambivalent about Ubisoft recently (just burned out by their games and not wanting to buy them until I've slept for ages) but... Really? This is the hill they want to die on? Well that does say a lot about them, now doesn't it?

Oooooh, I'll annihilate the bible-thumpers. Then I'll annihilate the capitalists, because they already knew what's coming for them.

Inb4 they put Grok inside the things

Tesla® (Powered by Grok®): "Where do you want to go? Wait, never mind, let's talk about white genocide in South Af—" [gets hit by a train again]

Computer science: 2+2=4 (for integers at least; try this with floating point numbers at your own peril, you absolute fool)

Yet another unrealistic music video. It's a relatively short song and Eclipse will not start fast enough.

Is that less or more the energy of your average Falcon Punch?

I've seen Breaking Bad. This is just what the memes look like in Mexico.

Yup, those times sound about the same as what happened with me. Plus the time spent swapping SD cards, because I couldn't get CleanRip to work with the USB drives I had at hand, only FAT32 SD cards.

Also, at every step of the way when converting ISOs to RVZ, I ran Dolphin's verification thing, just for paranoia I guess.

"Showing up on time" is the lowest possible bar, isn't it?

Recently I found an old school yearbook. My entry was written by someone who barely knew me. Said something about me showing up on time all the time. Now, I was like "holy shit that's cringe, I don't want that on my tombstone".

It's even funnier because the guy is mocking DHH. You know, the creator of Ruby on Rails. Which 37signals obviously uses.

I know from experience that a) Rails is a very junior developer friendly framework, yet incredibly powerful, and b) all Rails apps are colossal machines with a lot of moving parts. So when the scared juniors look at the apps for the first time, the senior Rails devs are like "Eh, don't worry about it, most of the complex stuff is happening on the background, the only way to break it if you genuinely have no idea what you're doing and screw things up on purpose." Which leads to point c) using AI coding with Rails codebases is usually like pulling open the side door of this gargantuan machine and dropping in a sack of wrenches in the gears.

Ohhh, I'd be happy to pay a huge chunk of income to a lord. Because they at least maintain infrastructure and such. Nowadays, however, we have random self appointed robber barons, who see a whole bunch of income that is supposed to go to the workers and say "nah, I'll take whatever I can get away with". ...maybe shit needs fixing.

Maintaining paper notebooks and almanacs and a giant crazy-wall of Post-Its is very fruitful and calming.
