No way; I’m looking at a 4TB external SSD I bought 2 years ago for like 237 USD on sale right now for a “discount” at 749 USD, regular price 799! Is it really that bad out there? Is the storage situation really this abysmal that prices have become this inflated? #technology #slopocalypse #ssd

The #slopocalypse is the result of the gamification of the OSS development. It just feels good to land a PR, especially on a popular repo. Combine that with the ughm less experienced devs' proneness to overestimate their achievements, and the ease to half-bake something that looks plausible enough, and you get the explosion of low-quality slop. Something similar happened to, say, youtube or facebook, but there there was at least some financial incentive

🔔 BREAKING: #Jazzband is finally bowing out after a decade-long jam session where everyone got to play maestro 🎺. Apparently, a "slopocalypse" struck, and now they're scrambling to hand off the baton by 2026. Ah, the sweet sound of disorganized chaos in open source #management 🎷.

Hey, Google...

Where's the "No. Fuck off." button?

Apparently this is a new daily pop-up I get to dismiss when doing searches with my Android phone...

My Android phone keeps trying to ragebait me with constant news story notifications about "[AI company] Strikes Deal with [PC hardware manufacturer]".

It's working.

I should probably renew that $17/yr RackNerd 2GB VPS plan I use for Pangolin, before it's no longer $17/month anymore...

EDIT: And, done....
