So, Democratic primary voters, here is the assignment.

Figure out who AIPAC, AI and Crypto PACs are supporting, and VOTE FOR THE OTHER CANDIDATE.

It will be tough because these sneaky guys know how unpopular they are, and they are using every dark money dirty trick in the book.

But, this is the fight for the soul of the Democratic Party. You've got this.

I'm running WPA3-Enterprise in my #homelab and #UniFi APs.

Why? Because I can.

@tante it's already annoying my dad is hyping chatgpt like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Like he's raving about cognitive decline. That's not what I want for myself.

@danirabbit bluesky is the social media equivalent of CDMA phones: both are the property of a singular for-profit entity creating a so-called "open" technology.

Bluesky social is basically Qualcomm.

@danirabbit I unfortunately have a dad who's too much into AI.

He's proud of his ChatGPT Premium subscription even when everyone else is cancelling it. He claims it's "useful." He even tells me to embrace AI slop.

He claimed Toontown Online will ruin my brain, yet AI is ruining his.

Someone: Let's vibecode a Wi-Fi driver for #FreeBSD.

Also someone: "There are several known issues, which I will task the agent to resolve"

This is why #AI shouldn't write your drivers. There's a reason NetBSD and Asahi ban AI.

FreeBSD doesn't have Wi-Fi driver for my old MacBook. AI built one for me

My old 2016 MacBook Pro has been collecting dust in a cabinet for some time now. The laptop suffers from a “flexgate” problem, and I don’t have any practical use for it. For quite some time, I’ve been thinking about repurposing it as a guinea pig, to play with FreeBSD — an OS that I’d aspired to play with for a long while, but had never had a real reason to. During the recent holiday season, right after FreeBSD 15 release, I’ve finally found time to set the laptop up. Doing that I didn’t plan, or even think, this may turn into a story about AI coding.

@blackbird Awful. I'm so sorry.

... I would love to do some business with someone who offers VPSes and isn't slopbrained. I'll have to email you about that.

@noracodes my dad is obsessed with the idea of AI everything. He even says to rewrite everything with AI as if that isn't a privacy hazard or plagiarism.

I found a VPS provider DediRock (my business' rival) and guess what? Their blog is basically an AI content farm. AI images AND content. How do I expect to trust them?
