  @deprecated_ii@poa.st i can't help but shake the weird feeling that i am both holding it wrong and one of the only people that thinks these things are toys. I'm having a hard time expressing myself today so bear with me every time i use an LLM it fucks up. doesn't matter what LLM, doesn't matter agentic or what. Only the obvious "good path" works, like "make me a 2048 clone in js/html/css" deepseek issued commands that broke a raid setup permanently, e.g.

  @themilkman@shitposter.world find real boric acid. in the US it's sold as a powdered ant and roach poison. It's a real acid, but very weak. but fungus can't survive it. So you take all your shoes and you put boric acid in them, till the insides are white and a little bit of the acid slides around if you shake the shoe. leave it like that for 24 hours, then smack the shoes really hard and get as much loose boric acid out. you can wash the shoes now, or not. Either way. it's t...

  I just pissed into the wind; contacted all of my US rep and senator; to wit: "Hey! Google chevron stock, BP stock, Shell PLC stock, Exxon stock.

All oil companies with the exception of BP are at or around the highest stock prices, ever. BP is highest since 2013, but still. at th...

  @KaiserKitty@clubcyberia.co you gotta have real conversations with them and teach them to nod and shake their head and reply affirmatively. They don't really get it, but it does make interactions more entertaining, for me, at least.

  @suquili@poa.st i am having a hard time remembering what the first one was, i know mapporn was one of the early ones, history too maybe, but the first one was really innocuous and it has *always* bugged me. It's like people using "raw-dog" in a professional context, like, "we'll raw-dog the contract terms, we don't need lawyers" no, dude, you're gross. also, whoever uploaded the first "step" video that caused the cascade needs to be shot, too.

  @madcuzbad@nicecrew.digital @Evil_Bender@nicecrew.digital @nierenstein@poa.st the 24 hour gas station near me (it's 6 miles away but who's counting) actually shuts off the lotto machine after 11PM because of this, a single cashier having to deal with grandma "check came in" grandmason at 1:45 buying 100 scratchers, 1 at a time, "lemme get a #4, a #14, a #2, another #4, a #6..." with a growing line of increasingly agitated drunks behind her...

  @graf Sorry your dad isn't around. my idiot dad bought an experimental aircraft with an *Italian* motorcycle engine as the prime mover and the engine gave out at 300' over a farm's field.
