"Yes, I use a LOT of ai code, but I'm the Specialest Boy so I don't consider my ai code to be vibe coded!"

Q amd A page for CSS DOS on the question of A.I. usage.

Did you use AI?

Yes, a lot. I still consider the code to be my code - but my opinions on the matter are complex. I'm no ambassador for AI accelerationism - as a published AI safety researcher and red-teamer, I'm well aware that LLMs aren't a tool to point at a problem and press 'Go' unthinkingly. I'd label CSS-DOS 'LLM-assisted' but not 'vibe coded'.

NOTE: AI writing I find cringe-inducing and bland. I'm typing this myself. The copy on this website is edited by my fingers word-by-word, with proofreading by Claude.

Ai is a tool of fascism and its use directly supports Trump and his billionaire cronies Stop it.

Takes an hour, so maybe not "quick", but this recipe for magic beer bread is real simple and I make it all the time. Results in bread that has a soft interior, chewy exterior, and that hoppy taste of beer

Recipe for Magic Bear Bread.

340 milliliter lukewarm beer, 3 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, a pinch of salt.

Place mixed ingredients in a greased bread tray, place in cold over then set to 350°F and bake for 1 hour.

Looks like they've updated it, but it's the usual coward's excuse of "We only used it a LITTLE 👉👈"

For anyone worried about "government overreach" the requirements of the bill are VERY basic and SHOULD have already been the law of the land from the BEGINNING 60 dau warning of shutdown and any ONE of three requirements: An offline version A patch to allow user hosted services A refund

So what would this bill do? You can read the full text for yourself but at a high level it would require publishers to communicate to the public 60 days in advance of any changes in service that would prevent the “ordinary use” of a digital game. In addition, the publisher would have to provide one or more of these three paths forward:

1. A version of the digital game that can be used by the purchaser independent of services controlled by the operator.
2. A patch or update to the purchaser’s version of the digital game that enables its continued use independent of services controlled by the operator.
3. A refund in an amount equal to the full purchase price paid for the digital game by the purchaser.

Finally tried Takis for the first time, really like them but kind of disappointed in the "heat". I've got the blue ones and Fuego, both are labeled as "EXTREME" heat but they're just kind of tingly Maybe the version they sell in Canada is just less spicy? 🤷‍♂️

Oh look, LITERALLY the meme 🙃

A four panel comic, by Barry Deusch, of a man first being told his views are too extreme and he declares he is being silenced, then over the next three panels he says he has been silenced on a stage, on the front page of a newspaper, then on Fox News.

Just started reading Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries. Really cool concept; bored security android just wants to veg out and watch soap operas but unfortunately he's REALLY good at being a Murderbot

Why does the Assassin's Creed Black Flag remaster have SO many devs? They're not even displaying properly on the Steam mobile app 😅

Just made a BS argument that assuming ai code lead to bad code is equivalent to blaming the rain on coffee 🙃

The current popular modern MP3 player is this thing called a Snowsky Echo Mini. Pretty basic barebones device that still has just about everything you'd want in a quality music device. Headphone jack, Bluetooth, Micro SD slot for expanding storage

It seems $44.99 is only for Prime members I still got $6 off without a membership

My eReader of choice is this cool bit of tech I got from China. Snowsky Echo Mini. It HAS wifi transfer capabilities but otherwise it's BARE BONES (only supports epub and PREFERS jpeg images) so the battery lasts AGES. Small enough to magnetize to the back of my phone too

Both of these posts were FLOODED with disingenuous jagoffs saying "So you want to BAN books? Maybe BURN them? How very NAZI of you 😏" Or just saying it's dumb b/c "LOTS of dead authors were bad" DON'T GIVE MONEY TO PEOPLE ACTIVELY USING THAT MONEY TO DO HARM. It's VERY simple.

A screenshot of a quote post. The quoted post by "retired-librarian" says "Hey, librarian here. If you find out a favorite author is a monster, don't separate the art from the author just give it the fuck up and stop supporting the monster." The quoting post by "kikieatsbooks" says "Fuck yeah. Abandon all assholes and read better books." Both posts have disabled replies b/c of a DELUGE of disingenuous replies.

Pulled up Amazon to see how much the BluRay for Sinners costs and for some reason Amazon decided to show me "alternative items" 🤨 It's not even out of stock

Screenshot of the Amazon Canada page for the movie Sinners. At the top of the page Amazon has placed a LARGE banner offering alternatives to the movie. The first two movies suggested are "F1: The Movie" and volume three of the BBC documentary "Planet Earth"

I'm all for being realistic in criticizing people and not resorting to hyperbolic accusations, but I genuinely do NOT think he put that much creative intent behind his designs. Man just REALLY thought people the size of a brick house was the height of cool.

Picture of the infamous Rob Liefeld drawing of Captain America where his chest is deeper than he is tall. It looks like he has a second torso stapled to the front of hus torso.
