It is confusing to me that tmux and termux both exist

The reason they have to keep making Wizard of Oz prequels is if they went *forward* then they'd have to let people know about Ozma, and Hollywood will not, absolutely will *not*, ever allow that to happen

What percentage completion would you say you're at

Completely baffling that Kagi now simultaneously has an elaborate feature for tracking and hiding AI slop in search results but also has multiple features which generate and inline AI slop directly in the interface

Wait so is the necronomicon just a book of deadnames

I'm in a dialog box in a computer program. I use "tab" or "shift-tab" to move from one text field to another. I expect, that when I tab into a text field, that the entire text of the text field will be selected. I don't know why I expect this. My neurology has this expectation for some reason. Using a particular program, I find that this does not happen. Who is right? Is it me (expects text field selected), or the program (expects text cursor to move only)?

It's just really baffling to me how people look at generative AI, a cartoon villain technology created by an actual alleged child molester, and go "hm yes this is the thing to look for 'nuance' on" There is simply no technology on earth which fails on so many levels! Even Bitcoin, which is arguably more evil than genAI, has viable less-evil versions and plausible uses. But GenAI, you could solve nine out of the ten problems with genAI and the tenth problem would still be bad enough to avoid it.

C++: So we've introduced this keyword "auto" so you can store a value in a variable without having to keep track of which type it is Me: Wow that's great C++: Now you just have to keep track of the difference between auto, auto &, and auto && Me:

Announcement: I will no longer be using the "so simple your mom can use it" analogy, due to me being now old enough to be a mom or technically a grandma, and also due to the fact my actual literal mother once wrote a COBOL manual. Henceforth if I need a shorthand for "computer user who isn't very into it" I will now reach for "Uncles". It is my hope any Uncles out there reading this will simply take this in stride, due to how avuncular you are
