Reminds me, some colleague was once trying to pull up a YouTube vid in Chrome on our megafancy 8k conference screen, but it wouldn't play. He suspected it might be because YT locked down large screens because they didn't like public viewing or whatever.
Pulled it up on my Firefox on Linux, ran fine.
Sounds kind of like the Baldur Bjarnason strategy but for your coworkers instead of your boss.
I can see the value of someone with a critical understanding diving into the technology, so they can talk others down from the ledge.
But you also need the social pressure to maintain some slop-free spaces. Not everyone can be asked to accomodate recovering slopaholics.
This is extremely !the_pack-coded.
Iranischer Karl Marx (1. März 2026)
Die Amerikaner brauchen Prügel. Man muss bloß die Bewegung seit 2016 in beiden Ländern vergleichen, um zu sehen, dass die iranische Arbeiterklasse theoretisch und organisatorisch der amerikanischen überlegen ist.
Was looking for a terminal that can render LazyVim. It's looking like Alacritty (definitely not ghostty).
Tech won't save us, but we sure could make a great start by, say, submerging 20 carefully chosen server racks in pickle juice.
How could he do this to Iron Lung's wife?
A kid was trolling an anti-ICE protest at his school while livestreaming and got himself punched by a fat kid.
It was pretty epic. Top 5 epic anime fight scenes for sure.

PS: für die Zuhausis auf ichBetreibendesSystem hab ich letztens DRLeichtPlus entdeckt. Wäre an Rückfutter interessiert, ob das funktionieren tut.
Endlich mal wieder ein markenrechtlicher Sieg, nach den bitteren Hafermilchkriegen.

I just watched the whole thing. She makes a consistent case.
I felt a little called out by the being tolerant bit. I for sure haven't had great success in talking to close people about their AI use. And I was maybe a little too cold to colleagues, who tried to get ahead of the AI literacy circus with good intentions, although I grudgingly agreed that they are right.
Maybe I don't meet enough randos to get feeling on the level of pervasiveness of chatbots. Maybe it's a personality thing; I worked myself out of depression mostly by disciplining myself and stopping to buy my own excuses, and that's kind of how I approach every problem now. That sure isn't a vibe that most people respond to.
There was one part of my AI beliefs that wasn't adressed. Besides the "front-end" and "back-end" harms, that can be mitigated, the tech as a whole still seems trash to me. That may be boomerism setting in, but chatbots just feel counter to and displacing my positive vision for a social fabric, be it for responsible professional communities or for interpersonal connections.
(I do buy into the use-case for a context-sensitive search engine, e.g. for walls of legalese. But the current framing of the tools is just so harmful, even that use is hazardous as seen in the anecdote.)
