Why is #Trump adding ludicrous tariffs just to remove them again shortly after, making the #stock market fluctuate wildly? Some believe it's to make billionaires make billions. Some believe it's to make Trump appear as a strong man. All these theories, of course, are dead wrong.

The main reason Trump does this is to get more followers on his social media platform. I tell you, soon he will brag about how many new followers he suddenly got, after revealing he would end the dip.

Why haven't I seen anyone talk about how the white house is certainly also using #signal for other things where they just happened to not invite some random journalist into the conversation? Sure, this thing should not happen on signal, in part because the records need to be retained, but what about all the other stupid plans they're making?

The rate of me clicking on something I don't intent to because #Microsoft thinks it's amazing #UX to pop up huge boxes based on where my mouse is on the screen is at 5-10 times a day. Major offenders are Azure DevOps and Microsoft Teams.

Especially Teams is bad because the implementation is broken. If the window is small enough the side bar is hidden, which is great, because then I can focus on the conversation. However, if I click where it might pop out, then it sometimes appears when I click (because bug) and I jump to a different conversation instead. This has been going on for years.

Sure, it's convenient not having to go through the arduous task of moving my right index finger 1mm, but being paranoid about where I leave my mouse and routinely clicking the wrong thing because I happened to cross a hot zone when moving my mouse to the intended target is honestly so much worse.

Whenever #USA proposes some ludicrous, exploitative measure of "protecting" #Ukraine, such as "You should hand off your power plants to us indefinitely to get protection" the EU should immediately make the sane version of that offer. Such as "You could let EU manage your power plants to get control, until you choose you don't need our help any longer".

Don't let 47 take advantage of Ukraine when they are at their most desperate!

I don't use #LLMs in my daily #coding, and I don't want to. It is my impression that in this regard they are good for two things:

1. Inspiration if you are stuck on a problem.
2. API / SDK help.

I do not want to see LLM generated code in a pull request, just like I do not want to see code pasted directly from Stack Overflow. The job of a #programmer is to know what is being put into the code and have an opinion on how problems should be solved, and the best way to achieve this is to write the code yourself.

When you do use code generated from machine learning, you should be extremely suspicious about it to ensure it's doing what you expect it to. My habit from Stack Overflow is to type in the code myself to make sure I go over all of it.

People go "I love #rabbits, cute wittle #bunnies" and that lasts exactly until the point where they have kits. This is when the kits are the cutest things ever, and the regular bunnies might as well be cows.

I want to add a sensor to my dumb lock. I don't want a smart lock. I'm thinking two wires that get connected when the door is locked - but apparently this doesn't exist, and I'm not much of a hardware person... I've seen this requested a few places, but no actual off the shelf product. It seems like an obvious sensor... Does anyone know of one?

At this point the question isn't if #doge will make mistakes, but rather if they accidentally do something useful.

For now they have
- Fired hundreds of people across multiple departments, who apparently were essential so they had to be rehired.
- Miscalculated savings by billions of dollars.
- Calculated the same (wrong) savings multiple times.
- Added savings that happened years before the department was created.
- Misunderstood what transgenic means (no, it's not gender related).
- Mistaken Gaza, Mozambique for Gaza, Palestine.
- Inadvertently revealed a CIA black ops site.

And likely a lot more. This is just what got caught in the web of my head.

This is a fantastic demonstration of ineptitude on a massive scale and they just keep going, undeterred.

There, created a profile on Friendica (to try it out). Followed myself here to make sharing things on multiple platforms easier (and inflate my follow count of course).

Coming from mastodon, and in a previous life, Facebook, Friendica takes some getting used to. Let's see how it goes.
