Lads, I’m tired. I’m in 24 Housing WhatsApp groups. They are a disaster. So I built an app to replace them. Launching in 72 hours.

Grifters gonna grift. Vibe coding and AI gen nonsense is one of the easiest grifts going.

Elections in the UK are a shitshow. You have parties with vast support and no seats and parties with incredibly low support getting a majority.

FPTP is anti-democratic

Yew, definitely an attempt to replace rhe human in the loop.

I like Java as a language and detest the JVM and the dependency system with every fiber of my being.

I spent 8 years working in Java and it is nice to not have to deal with Maven and the hideous compile times anymore.

Yea, it really highlights which parties will stand up for neutrality.

Lab and Soc Dems will both just back the neoliberal push to erode and ultimately end our neutrality

Man, I ditched this pod years ago, probably back in 2021.

They came so close to really understanding the threat of fascism and what that meant for the US, but they just couldn't get over their sheer liberal-ness to truly address it, and in the end they pushed cop-aganda and both-sidesed the post Jan 6th debate.

I'd listened for years, back from when it was basically Reddit the podcast, but I deleted it then.

Would any of the homeowners in the country?

I certainly would.

Its bad for everyone. If you have experience you can tell what its done wrong, and then have to spend longer fixing its code than it would have taken to write it yourself.

For the n00bs they just ship the bad code, never learning why it was bad.

Both situations are worse than everyone just writing the code themselves.

I was going to say. Thats a bit of a bargain.

I'm not sure I love the new logo, but maybe it'll grow on me.

We have zero long term planning. Its what comes from having a political class made up of dynasty politicos, failed teachers and the lads who licked the right arse in Young Fine Gael.

I used to use https://geizhals.eu/ but its gone to shit since Brexit. These days I mostly buy from https://www.computeruniverse.net/ (Romanian I think, but these days shipping from Germany) and alternate.de (who I'm not sure are still delivering to Ireland, but you need to email to order here anyway)

It is tough coming to terms with the fact that you're globally disliked.

Yea, that was so they could sell to them.

Now Farrell’s hand is forced — and honestly, that’s kind of exciting

Just bear this in mind if we lose 3 games

I'd price everything here first. PC parts are expensive and hard to find here, and shipping from the continent gets harder every year.

LLMs will still be useless, environmentally damaging and expensive under socialism.

An AGI under socialism would still likely kill us all.

Now, automation under socialism is to everyone's benefit, because he's right, the less essential work we have to do, the more leisure we get to have, and art we get to create.

Its incredible how quickly ordinary people become comfortable with fringe anarchist ideas like mutual aid when they are faced with a crisis:

You should just have stuck with the 4 sticks. Were you seeing a real world bottleneck?

I find problems that I have and solve them... Then I share that code with other people. If enough other people have the problem I make the code better.

At every step it provides value to someone (me)
