Hi flare, sent you some feedback. Really want you to read it

Watched a documentary on Valerie Solanas the other day — the woman that shot Andy Warhol.

Never have I ever empathized so much with someone I completely disagree with. Rest in peace, queen.

Microsoft just announced that screenshots will become one of "Pro" "AI features" (why does it need ai?) as Windows transitions to a subscription model.

I believe that god doesn’t exist because a worm in the eyeball of 5 year old Alhaji, a diamond miner from Sierra Leone, says so.

Today’s kiki dream was so pleasant that it still lingers inside my rib cage and heals my heart with its warmth

Fun fact: UAE imports sand from Australia.

Buried truths ooze gammas

Food stamps concept is genius. A centralized feeding point for vulnerable people that, while providing good economy of scale, is literally where a lot of vulnerable people are, waiting to be preyed on. You can't just give them money either, you can't trust them to be responsible with it. Instead, you give them the special kind of money that can only be spent on food and essential items. That's literally crypto smart contracts, but from decades ago. This has two benefits:
1. They can spend it closer to their home, as they can't afford to drive to some kind of a centralized nexus
2. It supports local businesses

Saving a failed state where _everybody_ is vulnerable, as their institutions and infrastructure cease to exist? Build a feeding point/network to leverage the economy of scale to help them all. Put armed guards nearby. Also, build a lot of showers — we don't need a cholera outbreak. Oh, and a lot of tap water pumps.

Saving just few vulnerable people within a functioning country? Food stamps.

I watch cinema. You watch content. We are not the same.

Two rules to live by:

UUIDs are good passwords.

EpiPen's patent expires in September 2025.

Lensflare, look at how those lines in between menu elements don’t protrude all the way to the left edge, instead stopping before icons, so there is no line in between icons. Telegram uses the same UI pattern for “all chats” screen, and it looks good. What about using it in JoyRant in notifications screen?

Watching a YouTube video where a legit, professional MMA fighter can do nothing to remain alive during the 20 seconds he got to spend in a room with an attacker who has a knife. Every single round, he can knock the attacker out, only to then succumb to 18 stabs he received while grappling.

the scariest part about the worldwide musical degeneracy propaganda campaign is that people are doing it of their own accord. there is no hand pulling the strings behind the scenes.
also, since when exposed labea majora become synonymous to music? this shit is repulsive.

It’s so sad that this “Auth for Google authenticator” app whose logo definitely doesn’t try to impersonate google with a similar color scheme, with in-app purchases, is allowed to exist, while Lensflare’s JoyRant isn’t.

Will BordedDev ever let Retoor date him?

In the middle of dumbing down my smartphone. This whole ecosystem thing got out of control privacy-wise. Thus, I’m deleting pretty much everything but the browser and the chat app my friends and I use. No photos sync, no cloud, no passwords sync, no sync period. If you seize or otherwise compromise my phone, you ain’t getting very far into my defenses.

Is this heaven?

I was replaced by AI.

Because I couldn’t be replaced directly, e.g. by using AI to do my job, the job description itself was changed as the business pivoted.

We used to be a software development company. Now, we’re an online AI school. The thing about AI schools is that you can monetize unfinished prototypes — the only thing AI is good at — and the process of making them.

I wasn’t strictly “replaced” — they just found a small-scale way to not need engineers at all.

Well, it’s time to make my own startup!

If AI doesn’t solve your problem, the answer is always just more AI. Thus, AI is the new XML.

while researching age of consent by country to respond to a comment under another rant, I decided that going to wikipedia and sorting countries by age of consent ascending is probably the quickest way to get on a list.
