“US citizen injured in Illinois after ICE agents mistook him for fugitive and tried to arrest him”

it is not my responsibility as a citizen of this republic to blindly comply with the demands of any Immigration official who happens to encounter me deep inside the country. this nation used to be proud that nobody could randomly stop you on the streets and demand you produce your papers… that garbage is for dictatorships.

I say it a lot so just so you know what I mean

a speech bubble saying "hell yeah" from an outline of a head. Inside the outline where the brain goes reads: it makes me very happy to see you doing well. I really like you as a person and I feel blessed to have met you and to be able to call you a friend. I hope this is only the beginning of the immeasurably bright future you deserve.

I've spent two days fighting to get a damn form sent to me so I can file my taxes and they keep sending me the wrong thing, promising me they'll fix it this time, don't worry, they saw they made an error last time, and the last one they were like ok we promise we're getting it right this time and sent me the email with ok, here it is! And they didn't attach the file ;_;

Hey local beach.city folks! the domain beach.city is *expensive* When I first got it it was maybe $300/year. Now it's over $500/year, and as you can imagine, thats expensive to maintain. I'm already paid up through the end of this year, up until September, 2027. But I'm thinking of changing domains to a cheaper domain next August. That unfortunately means a server change if I do it, but I'd leave both up for a while to do a change.

Anyways... Any ideas for a newer, cheaper name? DM me!

Anyone who's excited to stop building for the web because AI has made native app development effortless is someone who never truly understood the web in the first place.

Moving away from the greatest invention of the past 100 years—a cross-platform, open, fully democratized solution—just so you can proudly shovel tokens into an LLM furnace and say "I made this" is so lame that it's beneath ridicule.

@davidgerard @resuna If only it were just WRONG. But it's also so CRINGE.

Like when you put in a search query for something weird and niche, and it goes "OH! A PUZZLE! LET'S TRY TO SOLVE WHAT THESE WORDS COULD POSSIBLY MEAN!" Bitch I know what they mean I typed them in, I do not need my own words explained to me you insufferable dolt.

@glyph I get what you're saying. But I'm not advocating AI detection. I'm saying you have a moral right to reject anything that's hard for you to process. Like, I don't care about em-dashes, but if the PR starts with several paragraphs explaining to you the paradigm of asynchronous programming you have a right (I believe) to either tersely ask to reword the description to the actual meaning of the PR, or — equally — decide that you don't even want to bother.

@isagalaev so like, for example, let's say that somebody who is exposed to a ton of slop at work and is losing their mind notices that Twisted has a hard ban, and is like, oh thank goodness, this is a project I can have a little bit of a creative outlet on. they show up, write a PR by hand, and write a nice long descriptive description and issue. that work slop exposure leads them to use a bunch of emdashes and bulleted lists. I reject their PR by saying "slop. get rekt.". That is a big failure.

@isagalaev because it's not my fault but it is my problem? the slop comes in anyway and I have to deal with it.

on the one hand I don't want to get overconfident in my ability to detect LLM output when there's plenty of evidence that this is very hard and one can easily get lazy and start deciding stuff is AI when it isn't. on the other hand I don't want to reject people, I want to reject methods

@glyph agree. But then again, as a maintainer, why make it your problem and not theirs? If you put it like "I can't accept code you don't understand" instead of "I randomly reject your code editing technology", it should be pretty clear. This is why I think most of them actually should know/suspect why their PRs might be rejected.

@isagalaev so they don't feel like norms are changing, they just see a new product, and not a new, defective, extremely dangerous product, and they treat it like any other new product that might improve their workflow. the nature of the product is that it obscures their own perception of their work, with an obstruction that they cannot perceive and is extremely tedious and subtle to explain to them
