Waayyyy worse than #Y2K. Half of my meetings were correct yesterday and half were wrong. Today I think they're all wrong and sending an update doesn't correct because then some people have it showing an hour early. Lmao. #Manitoba #ManitobaTime

Post by @infantrydort on X, The Everything App™:

Darth Vader. The Balrog. Bane.

Different myths, same ancient warning: push something good far enough into the abyss and eventually the abyss answers back.

We call these figures evil because we meet them at the end of the story. We forget to ask what furnace made them.

Humiliation. Betrayal. Hatred. Loss. Years of being told to kneel while someone else mistakes restraint for weakness. Eventually the wound stops bleeding and becomes armor.

That’s why these archetypes endure. They’re not merely monsters. They are consequence incarnate.

The people who created them eventually stare into that face in horror, unable to recognize their own reflection.

The renewed obsession with Anakin isn’t just an internet phenomenon. Something far older stirring. Young western men are at the breaking point.

Because there’s a limit to what good men will absorb while remaining the men you remember. Keep digging greedily into the patience, dignity, families, faith, and livelihoods of people who wanted nothing more than to be left alone, and eventually you reach something beneath the stone.

The ancient stories warned us about that too.

Be very careful what you spend years creating in the people you hate. One day, you may finally meet it.

That time is nigh. — Post by @infantrydort on X, The Everything App™: Darth Vader. The Balrog. Bane.

I love when I'm learning about some historical battle, and they talk about one of the Generals as a Genius Military Strategist, and then you find out that the plan is always "Hear me out, what if we surprise them, and then get all around them."

The most realistic aspect of the Hitchhiker's Guide is Deep Thought taking a silly question, failing to interrogate its premises, and running with it for 7.5 million years until finally regurgitating a nonsense answer that means nothing to anybody at the end after burning through unimaginable resources

Anthropic confirmed it’s restricting Claude Code from cloning existing games.

Preventing copyright infringement is reasonable, but developers report it also refuses legitimate reverse-engineering work.

Another example of how Claude is the tool to use if you want to argue with your computer.

Meanwhile, we now have direct reports of reverse engineering efforts being blocked, while online complaints grow.

@carnage4life "Legitimate" reverse engineering like "legitimate" do my homework or copyright-launder this code by changing the language? Maybe arguing with your computer is the future of non-wild west AI usage and they're just ahead of the game...

Windows XP scrollbar. It's like 20 pixels across. It has buttons at the top and bottom and a scrollable element in the middle. They are all light blue and pop out from the background, looking like touchable 3D objects. The rest of the scrollbar is a shiny light gray and disappears into the background

My friends think I'm weird because I prefer to read sheet music than listen to a recording. But for me, a recording will never be as true as the music on the page. Please tell me I'm not the only person with this preference.
