@kistaro @bj
Generative AI being crammed into everything is so damn frustrating.

I work for a storage and DR company and last few earnings calls have always had some dipshit investor asking "how company is going to leverage generative AI beyond generative AI companies need lots of storage."

I hate that generative AI has become the new block and chain buzzword but is capable of a lot more damage.

Just noticed the JetBrains integration thing in the “GitHub is shoving AI up everyone’s ass” announcement. Uninstalling, cancelling my $250/yr JetBrains IDE subscription, telling them _exactly why_ in the survey. I strongly encourage others who subscribed to the paid versions of JetBrains tools to do the same; companies that forcefeed shitty AI features into otherwise good softeware must be made to feel pain.

Bleh... human bodies are weird. So.. I can't tolerate large amounts of dairy any more.. unless it is like butter for cooking or heavy cream that has been sauteed when I make garlic mashed potatoes. Like I can't eat icecream without getting sick, even with lactaid. D:

Oh and like some mild, white cheeses, jack, queso in small amounts.

I guess because I basically didn't eat dairy for a year other than small amounts of butter for cooking and often I use avocado or olive oil instead.

@kistaro I dunno.. one of my coworkers regularly has a like a 5ft long fox plush in the background... but yeah. I know those feels though for me.. its like.. disorganized shelving, kobold and dragon plushies

re: I'm not saying they're right, but I kinda understand a little. (CW: Shadowrun mechanics terminology, Dental health trauma, cancer mention) 

@kelseyhusky That sounds incredibly stressful and crappy. D:

Though I was under the impression most dental adhesives were zinc free these days.

@kistaro We host our gitea at work. Generally it works really well until someone does something very foolish but I can definitely see the advantage to self hosting your own.

Offers of sweets have been made as is proper... now i'm sleepy.

@Pathia @Draekos

I'm sure everything will work out just fine!

Gods, I need to figure out how to communicate this to people.

If you are close to me and you ask something, a favor, help, assistance... I am generally incapable of saying no.

Even if I don't want to, don't feel up for it etc.

I'm like a discount version of The Luidaeg who can't ask a fair price.

Sometimes it is really important to recognize when is a bad time to ask for my help.

Worse, struggling with this makes me feel awful every time.

@mawr I will be upset if it gets axed.. like.. I've been using it for... a very long damn time.. since like 2009. :(

Sometimes I feel the need to apologize because I'm the social equivalent to the cryptic background dragon in a fantasy novel that appears for 2 scenes, offers some cryptic advise to re-contextualize a problem for the protagonist and vanishes back back to my lair to like read a book or sleep for decade until a new problem arises.

Except I do that to my friends too. :(

Baldur's Gate 3 Thought Debris:

"Call me Istik.. one more time."

What? ISTIK, is evolving!

ISTIK evolved into ISTABGITHYANKI!

@kistaro I mean it is pretty reasonable. I do it when I have a budget in mind and I don't want post like 10-15 back and forth to get there.

@Draekos Confused the hell out of me at first... and every so often I see it... and I'm tempted to ask "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!"

@Draekos folks at my current employer like doing Year-Day-Month and it BOTHERS ME

@mawr Wait what... I regularly swap devices without having sent a message... or is this like... intermittent? I don't doubt it happens. Just not seen it and I would be super annoyed... might need to change my behavior.
