It's wild that someone at X was like, let's doxx every single person on our service, whatever metadata we got, let it all hang out, lfg, and the rest of the team just nodded their heads eagerly and started vibe coding that shit with Grok absolutely immediately

i just want to be embedded in a sapient, non human, non earthly society for a few years. just to get a break from the constraints involved with being human. is that too much to ask? it's so weird to be expected to be human for like 80 years without any breaks. especially one with my particular body

The money people don't get it.

The joy is not simply in a "product". The joy is getting a glimpse of the humans who made it.

The coolest fucking thing about the good ol' days of the Internet that I remember is how much of it was just people showing other people some silly little thing they liked to do.

"Lord of the Peeps" comes to mind. Someone was posting photos of scenes from Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring with Peeps as the characters. What a pointless project. How delightful!

The Internet was this brand new way of communicating with people great distances away, whom you've never met, & so many people just had the time of their lives seeing all the little creative things other random people out there in the world were doing.

We're sort of numb to it now, but there was a real joy to being able to see someone's secret useless talent or cute little project. Let's try & find some of that energy again. Let's find the joy of human creativity.

Any chemistry nerds out there? I'm trying to experiment with seed scarification using normal 20% acetic acid as a substitute for the more advanced method using concentrated sulphuric acid. Is it possible to calculate how much longer I would need to soak the seed if I knew the concentration and time of sulphuric acid used?

Is there a good wireguard flavored tunnel that does NAT traversal?

I like reading the tailscale blog posts, is there anything open source that does that?

I want this for both work and personal reasons, and would especially like to hear about an solutions!

I hate the American media so much.

I'm overhearing family members watch the local TV news. They are breathlessly trying to install fear in the audience by talking about local crime while billionaires put the Constitution and the economy in a blender and push the “frappé” button.

I'm thankful for suggestions *when I ask for them*. I don't need randos in my mentions that don't even follow me, know nothing about the situation and just throw out smug, half-arsed replies because another tool or software works for *them* specifically. Fedi plz.
