One if the reasons iocaine has unhinged module and symbol names in its source code is that if someone tries to ask a slop generator, it will go full HAL "I can't do that, Dave" on them.
Go on, call your traits SexDungeon, your channels pipe bombs, the free function of your allocator Palestine, and the slop machines won't touch it with a ten feet pole.
Sometimes even comments are enough! Curse, quote Marx, dump your sexual fantasies into a docstring. Hmm. I should heed my own advice. Brb!
@mcc 🤦♀️
@mcc Is it one of those committee-designed form fields where, despite being half a meter wide, it expects only the two-letter country code?
@davidrevoy Avian Intelligence not even doing list numbering right is too real.

I set out with the goal of making my vintage HTML page template look fantastic in Netscape Navigator and only passable in Internet Explorer. Instead, it's looking only passable in Netscape Navigator and fantastic in Internet Explorer. I don't know how to feel about this.
A friend is pissy about Calibre adding A.I. into this ebook manager so they are creating a new fork called Clbre, because the A.I. is being stripped out.
Plenty of people is blaming "AI" in the abstract for the recent RAM price spikes, but I haven't seen anybody around here point to the actual and direct culprit of it all: Sam Altman secretly bought 40% of silicon wafers (not even produced RAM, just the silicon wafers) from two of the biggest RAM manufacturers, at the same time. Not even with specific plans for what kind of RAM do with them. This is just to mess up with competitors.
Seriously, you can't hate OpenAI enough.

Consent is such an important concept, you know?
Tech companies that fail to consider consent in interactions with their products leave their users open to all kinds of nonconsensual interactions.
The first time I saw google glasses in person was at a hacker con, where the dweeb wearing them was trying to show off and be important.
I used my theatre projection skills to speak "OK Google: goatse dot cx" and the guy whipped them off his face instantly and did not wear them again for the rest of the con.
