@SDF I would be willing to help with that!

Extremely annoying: The #DOSBox-X package in #vcpkg has been broken for a while, and someone suggested a fix in the #GitHub issue - but it's been ignored by moderators, so I keep getting blasted with threats from bots who desperately want to close it.Two can play at this game: In retaliation for this user-hostile passive aggressive behavior, I'm starting to tag other reviewers to see if I can get them to actually pay some attention to it.

Google Maps didn't how up on my Android Auto screen in the car this morning - literally the only thing I use AA for.I did a voice search, and it said it was Samsung's fault for putting apps in "deep sleep"....but why does an app need to be *running* to show up on Android Auto's app launcher?!I'm calling bullshit on google. Probably they're being passive aggressive about Samsung interfering with their ability to collect location data or something.

@ParadeGrotesque looks like it costs money, which might be fine except that it also doesn't seem to have realtime traffic information due to a focus on offline functionality. Part of the reason I use Google Maps is that there are many possible routes between home and work, and which one is best depends on current traffic.

My wife signed up for a #hostmonster account a dozen years ago to do a mommy blog, and basically abandoned it after a few years. I took it over to host some personal projects, but have barely used it myself in a few years.I had set it to auto-renew on a 3-year term to get discount pricing, and we just got hit with a charge for double what the website shows. Support said I was looking at a promo price for new customers, but the page said no such thing. They gave me a one-time courtesy discount.

We turned off auto-renew, and will probably either shut the whole thing down or find a cheaper provider (surely someone out there provides a domain name and decent shared web hosting for well under $15/month?).Honestly I think we could dump it at this point. There are ways to host private FOSS projects and share files with people for free these days, which is about all I've been doing with the site.

"Grey goo" used to refer to a speculated apocalypse in which nanotech goes literally viral and consumes all biomass on earth in order to feed its own replication - but I think the "grey goo" we're more likely to see at this point is the result of AI consuming all media and regurgitating worse versions in a recursive cycle, until it all becomes unrecognizable.

This is what happens when you get a new generation of nerds who didn't grow up with magnetic tapes and photocopiers / fax machines, so they don't know that recursively making copies of copies eventually results in unusable garbage.

Just saw this headline under "positive news": "9-year-old sells lemonade to help pay for dad's kidney surgery"This is not fucking positive or heartwarming, it's dystopian!It's utterly horrible that we've decided that allowing people to become billionaires is more important than universal access to lifesaving medical care.

@systemd I know it's a shitpost, but nano literally showing you at the bottom of the screen what its important commands are is one of the reasons I like it so much better :p

@nazokiyoubinbou @brouhaha @ai6yr Asimov's robot stories seemed to spend quite a lot of time exploring the idea that no matter how good of guardrails we come up with for AI, weird (and often harmful) edge cases are going to constantly come up....and the stuff currently being hyped is like a crayon drawing compared to what Asimov envisioned. We don't even have the ability to put in guardrails at a fundamental level - we're just putting nozzles on goop dispensers.

@nazokiyoubinbou @brouhaha @ai6yr One example I vaguely remember is that the second R. Daneel Olivaw novel revolved around figuring out how a robot managed to murder someone. Turned out that a human had tricked it, but I can't remember the details now.

Hot take that shouldn't be a hot take:With the possible exception of medical supplies, single-use fossil fuel derived plastics ought to be taxed to the point that they're never the cheapest option.
