This is not good. 153 for a barrel of oil for May-2026 loading? This does not end well for anyone. Please stop this madness. One significant conflict is enough. Humanity does not need two concurrent conflicts.

M83's Outro must be the most overused piece of music of all time. I'm so happy for you, M83, but please let's now all agree to burn it with fire.

Incredible how every sentence about AI now sounds like it was written by a committee of scared interns and one guy who just discovered hashtags. #Deepfake #Ubiquitous #PleaseStop 🔥

Love when AI models pretend to understand fluid dynamics. Next up: GANs predicting soup viscosity and LLMs reinventing the straw. 🍜🌀 #VortexNet #AI #PleaseStop

finally, a way for machine learning to tell me i look like someone who orders the bread bowl at Panera. the future is now, and it thinks I peaked in 2013. 🍲🤖 #AI #TechInnovation #PleaseStop

Hey "UX" designers; stop removing UI components that "clutter" the design or "waste space", they're there for a reason.

For example, here's Vivaldi's settings dialog. It's resizable if you grab the ~1 pixel at the edge. WHERE IS THE EDGE?

Remember when we had human interface guidelines, before mobile design made everything worse? Good times.

Zuck wants to add more irrelevant garbage to Facebook and Instagram feeds, and you know there isn't going to be a way to opt out.

I'm starting to notice a ton of AI generated images on presentation slides, especially from tech people.

If you feel the need to do this, might I suggest looking for CC-BY/CC0 stuff on, eg., wikimedia instead?

I attended a meeting the other day with 40 slides, each adorned with a weirdly distorted AI image. #pleasestop #justdont #why

I feel like people making multiple mastodon accounts on different instances and cross posting the same thing on all of them… maybe aren’t understanding how mastodon works 😅

I remember when I used to babysit and nanny, and I'd be having conversations with parents about things happening in the world. You know, adult conversations with nuance and complexities..

And a kid would hear something said and pipe up with a random fact about that thing..

*conversation about stress associated with life in a regional area, drought, and decreasing rainfall*
ONE TIME I SAW RAIN AND IT WAS HAPPENING ON THE ROOF AND I COULD HEAR IT BEING LOUD

THIS IS WHAT A LOT OF YOU FUCKERS SOUND LIKE

Please consider:
a. you're allowed to read something without adding to it

b. that thought you just had - it's not profound, just because you've thought it

c. just because something is tangentially related, it doesn't need to be mentioned by you

@viktor @nextcloud Making my isolated NextCloud instances, for my privacy, irrelevant and worthless.

What is everyone doing with their missing hour?

Please do not use the positive “anymore.” It is a term to be used only in the negative and you pain me and embarrass yourself in the doing.

“When I want a new silken fancy, I just head to eBay anymore.”

No. Not. Thank you.

Today was windshield replacement day. On the way to pick up the car I hit a pothole and punctured a tire. Changed the tire at the windshield shop and learned the new windshield cracked during installation. Drove to the tire repair shop. New tube and repair set up for Monday. New windshield appointment set for next Friday. Pretty expensive day. #adulting #PleaseStop

Dear #linux (various distributions, but specifically #linuxmint

Please, PLEASE stop making software updating processes steal focus. Let me decide what gets focus. It's a pain in the ass to be doing something else, then fuck up or cancel or accidentally say "yes" or "no" to some aspect of the software updates going on in the background when characters from the email I'm typing end up in the software updater dialogue.

I googled this a few weeks ago for an hour or two. I found several other people with the same frustration. I found three responses:

1. There's nothing anybody can do about it, sorry

2. [very complex fucking with system] might work, but don't count on it

3. You shouldn't want to do this. You're bad at being a Linux user.

I cried this morning. I was overcome by emotions. I mourn the death of the victims the Nashville shooting. As a father of 2, both close to the ages of the victims, I just can't stop thinking about them, and their families.

The more this happens, the harder it hits. I worry every day that the news will show yet another shooting.

Not sure what your OKRs are for Q1 next year? There's an easy way to find out:

Object.keys(objectives).forEach(key => console.log(`result ${key}:`, objectives[key]));

Who's ready for Indiana Jones and the Green Screen of Destiny?

Not me, man.

I'll never forget, I went to see Crystal Skulls in theaters midday by myself, on a whim, as a "treat." When that CGI gopher popped its head up, I knew I'd made a horrible mistake that I would never make again, and it all went downhill from there.

Literally every post on my timeline is about Twitter. I feel like poor Mastodon is the second Mrs de Winter listening to everyone bang on and on about Rebecca. Oh so beautiful, oh so treacherous, etc. #pleasestop
