True. So in six months, the market will be flooded with cheap, barely-used “AI” server hardware no one wants, and RAM for PCs will still be stupid expensive, because we live in the stupidest timeline.

In six months, the market will be absolutely flooded with cheap barely-used RAM.

We have. Every day. Whether we want to or not.

It feels like that fucking asshole has been raping our minds for years.

Not really. I’m using Copilot for my job because I’m required to, but I limit it to creating basic scripts that accomplish very specific tasks, which it’s okay at. I never let it touch my actual codebase.

Every experiment I’ve run to test how it does with real code from a large, production application has failed miserably. It introduces mocks, it duplicates stuff everywhere, it fakes shit when real APIs are available… I have no fucking idea how these “AI” companies have managed to convince so many businesses that producing catastrophically shitty code very quickly is a good thing.

There is exactly one situation in which it sort of makes sense: Copilot integrated with VS Code, running repo-specific commands like yarn build, with direct human oversight.

That’s it. That’s the only situation.

17 months, 25 days of fucking around, followed by five days of hurriedly entering prompts into ChatGPT?

You should read the community info on the sidebar. In short, this is a humorous community that shares real news stories that seem like they could be from The Onion.

So posts should be actual links to news reports with their original headlines, but only news stories that are weird enough that they read like headlines from The Onion are appropriate.

The name “Not The Onion” is a joke, because the news stories here are supposed to be real but make you think you’re reading satire.

Uh, re-read the post. Political news stories aren’t banned here, they just have to have headlines that read like they’re from The Onion. Lots of political posts here haven’t been Onion-like at all. That’s what’s against the rules.

Fixed that.

I did exactly that for my mom. Totally non-technical, but she was beginning to absolutely hate all the invasive noise and crap from Windows. All she wanted was to write free of distraction.

So we backed up her files, set up Cinnamon, installed LibreOffice, and imported her files. I set the system up to be offline, since it’s her no-distractions computer, showed her the basics of using it, and basically haven’t heard a peep about it since.

Linux just works, without the bullshit.

Okay, at first I literally did think this was an Onion headline, it’s so fucking idiotic.

Unlike a lot of people, I think the orange shit-head is more evil than stupid… But goddamn, he’s also incredibly stupid.

We’re pretty stupid over here right now. Sorry, world.

It’s old, but… I’ll allow it.

Also…

Dingdong. Willy. Johnson. One-eyed sailor. Trouser snake.

Now it’s your turn.

Here’s one!
