Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants
  • The main thing here is its like another level of the little preview you get of websites. So like original web surfing look through links, next level was scroll through synopsis of the links, now its look at the synopsis of syopsis of most relevant links. Again though I worry about the energy costs. I how the hardware can midigate this but at least does serve some useful function unlike bitcoin.

  • Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants
  • I agree there. I like it for doing most of the commenting and by extension causing me to comment more as I change the comments a little. Most of the rest was pretty much available before like suggestions as you type. Im concerned about the energy usage but they can be useful if used properly. I think the real problem is mba's have bought into that you can hire cheap people and they just have to ask the ai how to do things and it will happen. That they can hire prompting engineers instead of coders.

  • "Weak men create hard times"
  • I mean there is a thing going all the way back to the silent generation who had a taste of the depression and so had some knowledge of truly bad times. Even younger boomers had a decent chance of getting a job that you could raise a family with just a high school degree and older ones could be pretty successful. Having a pension was the usual. Losers who managed fast food could still afford a place of their own and a fixer upper car. I saw these things go away as an Xer but I know its still better than those after me. college loans for me was like a car loan. A very nice car, like luxury care, but still a car. So college was doable even for those whose parents could not help out. It was not long after I graduated that college loans became like mortgages for the millenials. You can have a car loan with no car and get by and you can't be doing a mortgage with no shelter to show for it. All the while a college degree debased to where its basically the high school minimum needed for any shot. Its that much worse for gen Z and I don't even want to imagine what gen alpha will have. Thats just economic. Then you take the giant fall back we had with environmental regulations with reagan. There was a lot of environmental consciousness in the 70's and it essentailly evaporated in the 80's with yuppies and greed is good. Granted this is mostly a republican effect but who were the reagan democrats? I get that many boomers are great and its not that the generations that follow are individually so great but the way its shaken out it just gets to be a more and more raw deal for each successive generation.

  • Warranty runs out at 30
  • seems to just be age for me. I have been biking my whole life bit it was in my 30's where when I do it especially a lot I would start to feel it. And yes I make sure my ride geometry does not allow for a deep knee bend. Anything really can set it off now and sometimes it just comes on its one. same with other aches and pains that have shown up over time. im not on the good side of 50 at this point though but it was in the thirties where the first things started showing up.

  • Bad faith actors are busy these days.
  • look i have had the choice for with or without lube for half a century now. Thing is saying I don't want to get sodomized at all just results in the default of without lube. I hate it with lube but I really, really hate it without.

  • Domino's or Pizza Hut?
  • I have had pizza hut in my lifetime im pretty sure but can't remember when. I have had pizza hut in the last decade so I guess it would win. I do feel its better but both are not as good as real pizza.

  • What do you think of free credit monitoring they offer after a breach?

    So here is the thing. Given the Eqifax breach I kinda feel like giving yet another agency to much information for them to monitor your credit is just another source of a possible future data breach.

    moving or backing up accounts?
    moist.catsweat.com moving or backing up accounts? - Ask Mbin - Moist: A Nonsense Aggregator

    Im curious if there is a way to have a backup account on another instance or to move to one between kbin and mbin? mainly to auto move susbscriptions and such. I saw a thing for mastadon where you log in on both sides but I can't find an option like that for kbin/mbin
