unfortunately, we’re not in the line of transmission

Australian users are already reporting they can’t actually find the “classic” option at all.

Insufficiently!

no no! you have so much to live for! like

never mind, knock yourself out and rise up in vengeance

say friend, have you heard about our lord and saviour Richard

jooooin us nooow and shaaaare the soooooftware

you are now getting fatuous in your evangelism and should desist

you are both correct and fatuous, which is an ideal combination

assume that in the past 25 years everyone here has heard the gospel of RMS

the catch is when you really need specifically O365 for some reason, e.g. we had to get the O365 download version for my kid’s schooling because that was the specific version the “this is how you do office shit” classes were taught against, the online O365 didn’t cut it

of course even the teacher was telling the kids “look you should just use libreoffice” lol

“brb going to make an AI blockbuster called ‘Zennos Parhadox’ starring Dwynne Johnson and Rebeca Fernugson and then we’ll see who’s laughing.” – Dick Trauma, SA

what a terrible fate https://archive.ph/X2s3z

so that’s picking out words from July, which Trump may or may not remember to follow depending what the last guy who spoke to him said

but broadly, if it’s business fucking over ordinary users, he’s for it

CHIPS act stuff doesn’t really affect anything here - Nvidia is not gonna have supply difficulties that affect the bubble

yep

ESR went like this after 9/11

they actually came up with something more fucked up than stack ranking

appparently this is use of code-complete as well

WritePhilthily

i think she was clearly the winner there too

from someone on Mastodon:

Google has a gigantic code generation culture, because the engineers there strongly prefer complexity to drudgery.

If you asked them to write fizzbuzz and left them in a room for twelve hours they would deliver a new programming language that generalized repetitive string printing, with an extension language for potential non-string-printing actions.

I left in ‘22 but feel fairly confident that “25% of code generated by AI” is going to be more of the same.
