doing a inverted kant on myself: coming up with complex moral explanations for why something is okay for everyone else but definitely unethical for me specifically

type of programmer who, when their C code does an out-of-bound read then crashes, moves their hands up & down and says "SIGSEGV-en"

how the fuck does new york have an "L" line. you can't be serious. imagine telling people asking for directions "yeah just take the L" with a straight face

99.5% availability is fine, this isnt github, it doesnt always have to be 80%

what’s crazy is the buffy episode ‘i robot, you jane’ (about a sentient demon on the internet that uses people’s data to trick them into falling in love with it so it can spread facist propaganda and assemble itself a physical body) used to feel cheesy and preachy and now it’s possibly the most realistic episode

it comes into being after they SCAN ALL THE BOOKS

and if I tell their AI chatbot that I want to remove a TV plan, it gives me some step-by-step instructions on how to do that

so I try to go through the "customize my plan", which won't let me select no TV but I'm hoping I can remove it at a later spot, and it refuses to let me continue until I enter a credit card for my mobile phone account.

apparently my direct debit info is fine for TV/Internet, but it needs a CC for my mobile phone account.

I don't have a mobile phone account with them, though.

Still, I need to enter a card for the 0$

like, support for their website? not working?

i like when i make a silly post that starts doing numbers and escaping its usual orbits, the two diverging branches end up being "SF Bay Tech Whisperer. Dad. UCSB Grad. Resist" and "voted fedi's fattest macro rubber vulpix five years in a row"

It's nearly impossible to avoid Doomscrolling. Doom runs on just about anything.
