"fuck you, make me" is always the correct answer to fascists. this is a simple truth that apparently is hard as hell to teach

it is genuinely very funny that despite all the press releases and mouth foaming, people are now routinely blaming any outage or computer errors on vibe coding

or if you will:

insufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from slop

having seen what MCP _is_ i'm shocked it took this long

commentary limited because migraine but tldr: MCP is a generic API for machine use of all the things (okay...) oriented around LLMs (um...) that has a fundamental assumption that you're giving the LLM the precise set of perms you do (... excuse me?).
this is not a thing designed by someone who knows about the word "security" and so surprise there's huge CVEs in something using it!

things i am learning:
yes, oral estradiol is in fact bad for my migraine situation
huh, it may also be bad for plenty of other shit
joy

today i found out that one place i lived in growing up actually is in a photo on wikipedia

but then it's just a photo with literally the entire town in it

switched from patches to pills while waiting to switch to injections, what are my levels right now? that's a good question isn't it
oh right. i feel depressed because my estrogen's currently "i'm YOLO DIYing to tide me over" tier out of wack

The primary job of many, many white collar roles is to say "no, that's a bad idea." That's why we invented the "yes, that's a great idea" machine!

Oh, fuck.

guys, i know you have a "the computer did it so that makes it good" fetish, but... you don't have to ship features that are bad! you could just not!
ended up looking a little at the laura croft remaster collection...
oh no it's got AI scaling on the textures and the cutscenes. you can turn it off to get the vintage crunchy graphics, but that's the default. and not only is it AI graphics scaling, it's _circa 2024_ AI graphics scaling.
why... why did they _ship_ that? it doesn't look like high-end graphics, it looks like an amateur "high end" texture pack -- that is to say, like ass!
