Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 17th August 2025

    Have you ever read an article of his in full? Literally packed with facts and numbers backing up his arguments

  • As an aging dev, we kind of do deserve some of this flak lol. Funny thing is, I went into SD because my first STEM degree made me as unemployable as a humanities major (a B.S. in physics is good for not much).

    • Keyboard questions! Can you type without looking at the keys? Do you have a preferred format or make of keyboard?

  • Been a touch typist for a while now, but I prefer my IBM Model M as a daily driver. I have a new modern take on the IBM Model F coming in in a few weeks that I'm very stoked about. Buckling spring switches are the best keyboard types ever made.

    • Joe Rogan's friends followed him to Texas. They all seem to hate it.

  • Where'd you end up? Jealous btw, trying to get out myself.

  • For instance, in 2013, there were a lot of complaints about Amazon avoiding sales taxes and engaging in predatory behavior around book pricing. How did Jeff Bezos answer this charge? “Amazon is not happening to book selling,” he said, “the future is happening to book selling.” I see a lot of similarities between that political language and the AI discourse.

    This is the reason I like Matt's blog, since I think one of the big things about AI isn't just the technology (though I have tons of complaints there), it's also about the politics around this tech. We just have a bunch of monopolists running around saying "you're not ready for the future" as a way to just enforce existing power structures.

  • The number of people basically advocating for this in the comments is honestly depressing

    • Baby dies after California mom leaves him in car to get lip filler on 101-degree day, police say

  • No child deserves to die that way. What a horrible take.

    • If americans come to germany and act like german public Transport is the best, how frickin bad is american public Transport?

  • What rail? We have Amtrak but it's laughable even compared to the poorest European countries. It's cars or nothing baby.

    • It doesn't get any better at 40

  • I'm basically 40 and deadlift in the 700s pretty frequently. You can bulletproof your back if you have the will

  • Yeah and the only way I've been able to make it work is with the steam deck since it allows me to hang out in the TV room with everyone. Sequestering myself away in a dedicated room is over I'm afraid lol.

  • I'm interested in jetting out as well. Did you get a job first? Or did you do something similar to Germany's "Opportunity Visa"?
