Re:I'm going back to writing code by hand on Monday May 11, 2026 @02:51AM (#48091798)
i try to write one portable shell script per day; using AI would take all the fun out of it, so i never started using it. i honestly find it ridiculous that anyone uses it to write code, it just doesn't make sense to me.

it's really sad. the worst part for me is that many people i used to consider my friends now make AI generated posts which makes me not want to interact with them and it also makes me distrustful of new users in a way that never used to happen.

it's creepy and soulless and evil and lacks any artistic value and trained on data stolen from real artists while simultaneously devaluing our work, of course we hate it.
Re:David Attenborough's 100th Birthday on Friday May 08, 2026 @10:51PM (#48071329)
he is far more than just a narrator, often appearing in the documentaries he narrates. he has helped thousands of people to gain a greater appreciation of nature. his documentaries on insects are particular favorites of mine, such as Micro Monsters and Dragons & Damsels. no matter what kind of animal you're interested in, he has probably done a series or TV special on the subject.
