Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

laptop with seven fold-out screens
#I have an external monitor at work now#and I haven't really used it#I have been in the office three times now and every time I plug in my laptop and then proceed to ignore the big screen#This though - this I could use

officially-cool youtuber Tech Tangents was working on an old Tandy machine and discovered the most hilarious quit menu in all of software, buried in an obscure astrology program for DOS:
THE "MAYBE QUIT" OPTION!
For too long, computer programs have been asking if we're sure we want to quit, and only giving us a binary yes/no option. Finally we can leave whether we quit or not up to fate.
And yeah. When he tried it out, it failed to quit a few times and then quit. It seems it just flips a coin when you select it and either quits/does nothing based on it.

The Company has been purchased by The Private Equity. The Cost of Service has Increased. The Cost of Service has Increased. Your Account now has Fewer Perks. The Subscription that covered Two Services must now be purchased Individually. Ads will now Appear. The Bots continue to Run Amok. A New Premium Package tailored to Influencers will Cost More than the Library of Alexandria. You can now Pay Extra for Maybe Above Zero Customer Support We are Sorry to see you Go. For a Moment can you please Tell Us Why you Chose to Cancel your Subscription?
#The Company has been purchased by The Private Equity#You no longer have equity as part of your compensation package we are replacing it with nothing#We have hired a bunch of new folks to work in India because we're growing our market share there#We have fired many of your coworkers with institutional knowledge#Oh yes that job that was done by someone who worked here for a decade is now being done by a junior engineer in India#He's doing his best but there's no overlap in working hours and no one told him how that part of the system works#Why are you still asking about compensation packages your compensation is competitive because we say so#We expect everyone to go back to office soon even though most of you don't live near an office#We have replaced a very important tool with a tool that is cheaper and worse#Why are you asking about compensation packages we told you it's competitive#Can you please take this exit survey and tell us why you are leaving?

I just think if your app makes a notification sound that sound should be the name of the app.

Me upon discovering an online game that helps you learn git: haha I've been using git for years now, I could skip ahead many levels, methinks hahaha no, no, I'll be humble and start on level 1
Me on level 5: You can do what??? There are commands for what???
#I wonder if this game will let me use my gitconfig because I have been using co instead of checkout for the better part of a decade#and I cannot override that muscle memory#also it counted using an extra command of git status before I rebased as if that's a bad thing
