I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

*Merkins?* A Wikipedia article @pdmckone Yes, 110% on purpose this word for the people of the perpetual warmonger failed state south of Canada. They like to hide behind 'common decency' but it is all a lie.

@vsp That's good, but I am now thinking it was in a tv commercial for a utility or bank here.

@vsp (there is a comedy skit somewhere, I can't find it right now, about a list of fees being explained and the fee fee was near the beginning... it only got more absurd from there)

The 'merkins just can't keep their military in their pants. Always taking it out and waving it around in everyone's faces. Gross.

Aw, shit. Thought I had blocked flipboard dot social, but there were some septic sucker service 💩🚚 type ads from there that just snuck into my feed. <BONK>

It is February. This is more than a little nuts.

I read about the online forum solely populated by bots today.

I wonder if they have a sub forum on artist statements or other types of bafflegab. It'd be bafflegab on top of bafflegab. It's bafflegab all the way down.

Bafflegab.

@ZenHeathen Ah, in the credits should mean a substantial number of episodes.

@ZenHeathen It's still more than a little preachy, but I'll accept it.

On the topic of Starfleet Academy, where the fuck is Tilly? She was supposed to be teaching there. Looks like they swapped her out for Jett Reno.

That thing where your ISP has expired certificates on their customer support site. Of course their telephone queue wait estimate is 45+ minutes.

So much vibe coding going on in the maker circles I am following online. Very off-putting. I mean, it gets them going in the direction they think they want to go, but at what cost?

They don't understand what they've (partially) built and are asking for help. Umm, no help from me. No thanks, that is some thin ice on top of the liquid manure pit you're skating on there.

Who has two thumbs, is a retired , and spun up a LibreNMS instance solely to gather evidence for when he calls the ISP about their sporadic outages? This guy, right here.

Started watching "The Night Manager" (2016) this week. Three episodes in and loving it. Not sure where I saw mention of it, somewhere on the fedi, but thank you whomever that was.

@ZenHeathen TNG first season was pretty bad too, IIRC. For many reasons, it took a while for the writing and acting to figure out what they were doing and become it's own thing related to but not really a continuation on TOS. I'm going to soldier on through the rest of this first season and see how I feel about it then.

@ZenHeathen I guess it’s for Gen Alpha. 15 and under. They need to bring in younger fans to keep the franchise going.
