I am living in the dystopian cyberpunk future of my dreams.

@InsightTweeting I have never had the presence of mind to get out my phone when I'm distressed. It must be because they're filming everything anyway so it's become muscle memory.

@honnosbondor @htmx_org btw, this is https://t.co/6jplrfVpHQ. The new one uses Lit.

@valigo I hated systemd because I got railroaded into being an early adopter. I can use it fine, but the bitterness and suspicion is still there.

[Urbane Myth @VitaeKate]

I think the GUI solution space is too large, most people fail at implementing something useful. The CLI paradigm imposes restrictions that make reasonable usability easier to implement and learn.

[Jonathan Wilke @jonathan_wilke]

I don't get the hype around CLI coding tools like Claude Code.

Human-computer interaction evolved past the terminal 30 years ago for a reason. UIs won.

Why are we regressing?

[Urbane Myth @VitaeKate]

@KenKirtland17 Yep it's clear it always was.

@carepack77 The optics rail on the staff sent my sides into orbit.

@htmx_org Meanwhile, this is what you get back when you post a comment on reddit (spoiler: most of it is formatted HTML, but it’s escaped in two different ways):

@ProleOtter reverse snobbery

what previous generations experienced as moments of divine revelation, we finally have the technology to turn into tweets

This is because if they changed how they behaved, all of their supposed wealth would evaporate. They would have no collateral since the value of their holdings would drop precipitously.

I’m constantly astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.

@tsoding My son will love this

@JaceCear @rfleury My dad does this anytime he installs a piece of software. He edits the licence text using some sort of Win32 dialog box hackery, puts "Free Use" in the terms & conditions, and then clicks accept.

[Valentin Ignatev @valigo]

"everything is a file" bro when you ask him to "read" a directory

@elonmusk Everywhere's a police state, I'm gonna move somewhere I trust the police better.

[Urbane Myth @VitaeKate]

@RnaudBertrand This is "Player of Games" level shit.

claude code spawning subagents

[Urbane Myth @VitaeKate]

@suchnerve I have a queueing system for groups, that lets me focus on people one at a time. Side conversations are always a constant battle of distraction management.

@helenaddy Went to A&E last week, I was the only person in the entire hospital wearing a mask of any kind. (possibly except for OR staff, but I didn't check)

[Ozan Bellik @BellikOzan]

Most of the engineers who worked through the space race are dead. The rest are retired. And we're doing everything from scratch because the old ways of doing things cost too much to be commercially viable at scale.
