Ah yes, more antivax nonsense. Just what the world needs right now. Especially with the growing measles outbreak due to people not vaccinating their kids.

Didn’t she publication state recently that she was terminally ill as well? Something like liver failure. Maybe she chose to go on her terms in the end.

I’m genuinely shocked by this. But only because I didn’t think Bessent had the spine or the personality depth to get into a heated argument with anyone. The guy comes across like a timid sloth on Valium, and has all the personality of a wet sock.

True. Twitter is ordered of magnitude worse than the other.

Yeah… A ‘slip up’. Suuuuure.

Wouldn’t be the first time, won’t be the last.

Talk is usually cheap. But to his followers it’s all that matters.

I’ve tried to get away from WhatsApp. I’ve got the majority of my friends off it (at least when they communicated with me). But some people just will not leave due to familiarity/fear of change. I’m still working on them, but I’m pretty sure it’s a lost cause.

You can only go so far. And cutting people off because they won’t move away from something like WhatsApp isn’t always feasible.

But I agree with you: I don’t understand why people still use those platforms. I think it’s because they don’t keep up on things, or just don’t care.

Wow. Finally this administration does something that seems like a good idea.

Nobody tell them they will be following the EU’s lead by doing this.

Link to the list from April 18th here.

Not if you’re willing and able to pay an arbitrary $30 a month extra. That lifts the oh-so essential data cap. Yeah… fuck Comcast, or whatever they are calling themselves this month.

“Rules for thee but not for me!”

Yeah they have a really fucked-up way of looking at autism. There are tons of autistic people out there living great lives and contributing a hell of a lot more to society than many of these antivax ghouls.

I doubt there will be any consequences. Pretty sure that was one of the incentives for their $1m donation to Trump’s inauguration fund.

This 100%. More diagnoses doesn’t necessarily mean an increase due to some nefarious cause - no matter how much the antivax loonies want that to be true.

MN is another victim of the lunacy inflicted on America by the swathe of red (mostly) welfare states.

I mean, they shouldn’t be buying Boeing jets in general, just from a safety perspective. The tariffs might actually save China some air accidents.

That cartoon depiction looks nothing like Melania Trump.

I’ve found the same thing.

Whenever I ask an LLM for a pointer, I end up spending just as long (if not longer) refining the question than just figuring it out myself it’s doing a search on SO it in other online resources.

But even the IDE integration is getting annoying. I write a class with some functionality baked in, and the whole time it’s promoting me with a shit load of irrelevant suggested code. I get the class done, then I go to spin up a unit test. It knows which class I’m trying to create a unit test for, which is cool. But then the suggested code is usually completely wrong or it’s much more convoluted than it needs to be. In the latter case, the first several characters of the suggested code is good, but then there’s several lines after it of shite. And hitting tab injects all of it in, which then requires me to delete it all. So almost every time I end up hitting escape anyway.

I’ve heard a few people rave about ‘vibe coding’ - usually people with no or little programming experience. I have to assume that generated code was either for very simple atomic actions and/or it’s spaghettified, inefficient garbage.

Aww. Little Genocide Jr found an old geography book! Bless him.

Krita is my graphics app of choice these days. But there are many alternatives that are great (like Gimp and Photopea).
