AI Agent = LLM, or fancy autocorrect chatbot

Lands PRs = is successful with pull requests: successfully gets generated code added to software projects.

OSS Projects: Open Source Software. Software that has its code publicly available.

Targets Maintainers: seeks out humans who write and regularly update the original code

Via Cold Outreach: relentlessly spams without prior network connections. Basically plays a digital door-to-door sales technique, using a numbers game of 100 “no”s to 1 “yes.”

Quick translate: Slop bot harasses human programmers into allowing poorly generated/formatted code into important software projects.

USian ‘90s born:

• 9/11 before kindergarten, watched it on live TV.

• Increasing school shootings year over year

• Incessant racism by paranoid family members and media writ large (which made even little me feel icky)

• 2008 Great Recession. Constant fear of where my next meal was coming from all through middle school.

• More school shootings

• Was supposed to idolize a man who dumped drone bombs on foreign kids because at least he wasn’t Bush. Still wondered why we had troops in the Middle East if things were supposed to be better?

• At least equal marriage was federally legalized in 2015. Yay

• Missed the deadline to vote in 2016 due to moving issues, had to watch hell happen in real time.

• Lived in a major city, therefore in constant fear of nuclear holocaust due to a deranged rapist not keeping his mouth shut. After growing up in fear of anthrax in the mail and getting gunned down at school :)))

• Told that college was the only way I’d make anything of myself. Graduated into COVID.

• Watched reproductive rights get ripped away from millions after my family scoffed that they wouldn’t. My own grandmother had bodily rights longer than I did.

• Been pinching my nose and voting consistently since 2018, but still see fascism come roaring back full swing and transphobia+racism+now pedophilia get openly celebrated by a majority of rubes.

Plus a ton of my own health issues that only worsened after getting COVID (and that’s with the vaccine, I fear for what would have happened without it)? Yeah, I’m waiting to get off the ride but refuse to do it myself out of spite.

I want to see the obituaries of at least a few of these bastards, first.

Why should I worried about what seemed like novel mocap-type technology when I live in a surveillance state dystopian hellscape where roves of masked racist invaders are ripping my neighbors off the street, and the tech companies here are gleefully enabling and profiting off it?

Completely irrelevant but I hear that in Bender’s voice every time

That episode was both painful and hilarious

Good on those parents for advocating for their kids’ wishes!

When even the students are stressed and overwhelmed by the enshittification, that should be a glaring sign that something has to change. Humans need a break from the always-on, endless stream of digital information, especially that young.

Probably because they’re loaded with everything-resistant diseases.

Dismember them and toss them into the deepest parts of the ocean though, for sure

No shitpost detected, just a cute kitty 🐱

TIL Mewgenics released.

Hell yeah!

That’s where the distinction between Americana/folk and “country” seems to come in.

If it points out the systemic unfairness that all working class Americans face, it’s American folk music. If it’s about tractors and ogling your sister, it’s pandering.

You can buy music from places like bandcamp to support the artists directly ¯\(ツ)/¯

I have no idea what this means but I support the vibe

That level of doxxing is 4chan shit. Compared to that, we have lives and actual hobbies. You’re good.

Might want to take your cake to a doctor, bud

Do not the scuba diver!

It isn’t “fuck the [imperialist/authoritarian nation] government and its enforcers” for most people?

Yeah but then we can’t bitch together in person and go on twelve side tangents, then share random memes with live commentary that we forgot about until the current conversation.

Could probably be also done with FaceTime though.

Do you think there were JWs in Monsters, Inc.?

My tortie won’t go a day without telling me what she thinks, lmao

I wasn’t expecting to feel so seen at this ungodly hour

Cold light is so clinical and miserable, and I refuse to have it in my vicinity at night if I can help it.
