“we can’t be bothered running a small VPS for the connection broker on Azure waah waah” says the big corporation

The reality is I bet it required servers with some grunt for physics. Still no excuse though, exit should have been designed-in… Well… I guess it was… The exit plan was always to pull the plug and tell the consumer to suck one.

I’m tired of it being like this, every single time.

Does anyone know who’s core they’re licencing, or if Smasnug is rolling their own? They’ve certainly got the chops internally, for sure.

pfft sure buddy enjoy your binary logs

You’re adding piles of nonsense ontop of nonsense.

None of it actually gets you closer to your objective.

Reduce and simplify. k8s and whatever the hell it is you’re doing is very much the opposite of that. enjoy yaml hell.

bro just run the fucking container.

That sounds heavy and complicated. Terraform + plain docker is super easy and makes the machines trivial to replace, as well redeploying updating their containers without downtime.

And I don’t have to learn a damn thing about systemd’s nonsense. Nor do I have to learn a single bit of k8s yaml braindamage.

They’re not useful tools.

the bible has multiple books of fanfic

The mormon dlc is all fan service

Its all fictive.

its all a pissing contest between people we really aught to hang from the rafters… The consequences of their pissbaby behaviour is ours to bare.

We should be making soup out of them.

Yaknow, now that I know its tightly coupled to systemd I especially don’t care about podman. Thank you genuinely for resolving any curiosity about it, however.

Culture ships.

Limiting Factor and Cargo Cult are desktops.

Empiricist and Sense amid Madness, Wit Amdist Folly are a NAS and NUC that runs everything I need

Its a great variety of memorable names.

(And even though Elon keeps naming things after them, he hasn’t fucking read the books.)

When you’ve schucked the battery, can I have the drive units, electronic brake booster and airconditioning components?

I want to EV my whip pretty bad.

If I recall, it was something Ed Zitron said but I can’t find the quote, so it might not be. The implication that the cost of delivering that $20 user account was approximately $1800 worth of compute.

They wanted companies to normalise a dollar spend on tokens equivalent to half a dev salary per dev.

They want to pay you in it too

Its not consumers they charge.

They were talking about businesses budgeting about 50% of a developer salary per developer on tokens.

A consumer $20 claude code account gets about $1800 worth of tokens, iirc.

The venture capital is just piles of money in other rich peoples pockets. As I understand it, the AI bubble is funded by massive amounts of saudi oil money anyway.

Its kinda like the jokers cash bonfire, but its Sam Altman pleading for more of it while eagerly dousing it in gasoline.

Freelancer was a space shooter that ran on a pentium 3 laptop with an ATI RAGE 8MB video card.

It was dope.

Its because money men are involved. They’re not places for artisans, game studios are more like setting up a heist team to sell as many copies and produce the minimum viable product with maximum razzle dazzle to empty the marks wallet as fast as possible.

It helps that idealistic enthusiastic young people keep wanting to make games for these ghouls.

Gnome 3 was a fad anyway

There’s just not much worth being happy about right now. Its kind of silly to be doing a light-hearted marketing push while people are being shot by their government.

Its the same reason Alien Conspiracies aren’t fun any more
