@TKsMantis I miss using a 2040 release date ironically.

@ZackKorman He’s probably not wrong. But the process of doing that would be… a lot. And if he tries to implement a solution, I hope the feedback he receives is violent enough to stop him from ever considering the idea again.

@therealroseanne …and???

AI? Sure. YouTube? Not so much, at least for those willing to watch multiple videos from different people. I also think YouTube is less problematic because it requires some buy-in (it won’t just spit out a perfectly-tailored howto), so the lazy people will just jump to AI. Granted, if they’re using the right service and willing to feed some tokens, AI can provide solid information. Again, goes back to how much someone is willing to buy in effort-wise.

@DrSprankle People with heavy buy-in to sex negativity depress the absolute hell out of me…such a joyless fight without a valid premise

For Wordpress projects with a bunch of custom blocks in simultaneous dev, vscode’s builtin terminal is honestly the way to go (assuming you’re also coding in VSCode)…if I’m going to have a dozen terminal tabs open, might as well keep the several dozen associated file tabs open in the same cursed window

What’s weird is being sexually intimidated by bike seats and horse saddles.

@enqueue_russ @jeffr0 This literally crashed my brain.

I agree on everything but the laptops…those shiny ARM soc’s are hard to beat. Even with Qualcomm acquiring comparable chip designs by buying the server startup that most of the M1 team moved on to create after leaving Apple, the Windows ecosystem hasn’t been able to meaningfully do enough with it to make ARM for Windows viable, at least compared to Apple’s offerings.

These are the same people who say trans people are mentally ill and belong in asylums btw.

You’re using a lot of 2025 data, which is not going to give you a solid picture. The current administration has been moving at breakneck speeds, and the aggregate impacts of their choices is a lot more noticeable this year, whereas the sentiment that they’re good for the economy has notably diminished, especially with the current conflict. Either way, I would highly advise keeping this strange death hill far, far away from any political messaging.

In some ways, life was a lot easier when my solution for dealing with life was just redlining my system. Not at all sustainable, and crippling in several other ways, but finding a healthy way of achieving the same output without straddling cardiac arrest has been a triiiiiiiip.

[Rob Clark @robclark]

@tedcruz Ah, was that the next place you were planning on flying to as your state got hit with a natural disaster?

[Rob Clark @robclark]

As much as I don’t like Plex, high one time fees that cover future software updates is not out of the ordinary, except that it’s increasingly rare and being replaced by subscription only models. I get using open source alternatives, but I don’t get the anger toward closed-source software that costs money to maintain

@PineDigitalCo Could be worth checking if the solution based off the block editor provides a hook to inject styles in json format...shooting in the dark here.

[Rob Clark @robclark]

Hmmm.....I would run this specifically by Claude Opus...mainly because, when I was researching ways to create a plugin containing a bunch of shared block styles and other components for a network of sites, I vaguely remember it referencing a number of hooks for injecting theme.json-equivalent code. Don't remember specifics for the life of me though.

I'm not defending porn because I love it so much. I'm defending porn because the people who are lying to you about it are a mix of useful idiots and people who make the industry players look like saints. Stigma and ignorance benefit abusers, and no one else.

@TheCartoonLoon Because AI totally only produces art.

[Rob Clark @robclark]

This has been one of the things I’ve been really trying to drive home…coding is only a part of actually building an app. Between accessibility requirements and securing personal information, a lot more goes in than just code, and not taking that into account will set you up for a world of hurt, especially in the current landscape.
