YSK, there’s a large number of older Kindles that can be jail broken.

I just ssh pirated .mobi files into mine

How do you determine who is able to do the job

I’m terrified I’ll never be able to find somewhere to work where this isn’t the case. Deeply terrified.

On the one hand software freedom.

On the other this has me thinking about how fascinating this problem is from academic standpoint.

How can you ensure software can ONLY run on the machines you allow? Even if the user has ring 0 access?

Is it mathematically impossible to achieve?

It’s double speak.

People learned the power of words and now they are abusing them.

The American public with all their faults will nearly trust any written word. Anything besides what they’ve already been programmed to immediately be skeptical of they will readily accept into their reality like good little consumers.

I used to feel the same way, but I’ve come to realize it’s slop that just looks better on the surface not slop that is actually better.

At least it compiles most the time now. But it’s never quite right… Everytime I have Claude write some section of code 6 more things spring up that need to be fixed in the new code. Never ending cycle. On the surface the code appears more readable but it’s not

Number one tell no one, number 2…

Unfortunately Its now in the Dean’s pockets 😭

I bet it’s probably correlated with low education as most things

Why do some people just have the worst fucking ideas…and why is “some” starting to feel like “most”

We can only hope, but it’ll probably never fully go away. More like crypto, it’ll reduce in volume. LLMs actually do have some real uses ( although few )

It’s just the operating system windows is bloated beyond belief. Most apps themselves are too. Especially if they are windows only

Apex legends… I know, I know

I have a back up SSD with windows on I swap out to play the very few games that still require it that I just can’t give up. But I don’t have the need to duel boot anymore. I just keep the SSD to scratch my itch

I got hired to do “research”. I maintain legacy crud web apps and file movers.

Except information from Google was human made at least to some degree. With LLMs there is no guarantee

Sex sells

Meta the same company that changed it’s name from “Facebook” to the name of its now failed venture the “meta verse”.

The company that spent BILLIONS trying to get people give up reality for “VR chat but make it Microsoft teams”.

Your confused they are making a bad purchase based on hype? Why?

I don’t really care if people are on their phones if it’s on low brightness
