  • Just watched it, can confirm that it’s reallyreally good.

    I love coming-of-age movies and… what’s the genre called where the main is a bit of a fuckup who can’t really find their place in the world? Because my collection is filled with those.

    So I liked our main floaters of course, but one character who isn’t as obviously “lost” is Allison. She’s just as insecure as Megan about her place in the world, but she solves it by clinging to her old friend group and aggressively asserting that her way is the normal way actually. That’s a side I hadn’t thought about before.






  • This, I think, is the real promise of vibe coding tools—that you can learn how to code without a CS degree.

    I learned to code without a CS degree. I used a for Dummies book, W3schools, Stack Overflow and the good guidance of a senior developer. Learning to code was never the issue. And I think poking around in the code, experimenting, stumbling on unrelated but helpful answers, before finding your problem, are all great ways to become experienced that are prevented by the use of a tool like Bolt. If Bolt produces code that confuses experienced developers, how is the vibe coder supposed to learn anything useful from it?




  • What an absolutely terrible article. I read the whole thing and I’m still unclear on what the check is and what it actually applies to and I’m pretty sure the author+GPT is too.

    The reddit post (that our author mangled to churn out an article) is pretty clear about it: the age verification app will perform a Play Integrity check to ensure it is an official build on a “supported” OS (whatever that means, my crDroid passes Play Integrity). This doesn’t mean anything for any other apps running on that same system, it only applies to the AV app. It does mean something for the OS, because passing Play Integrity needs some Google services running at root level.

    That all assumes you even want or need to run that app in the first place. It’s just a reference app for now, open for member states to adopt into a potential digital AV system. If your country doesn’t have any concrete plans for AV for porn/booze/memes yet, but might in the future, then getting involved in local politics will do a lot more than getting worked up about a github repo.




  • This always (and only) happens to me in big company meetings and it’s really hard to get out of those or to find a coping mechanism that would be socially acceptable. So last time I kinda freaked out right before I reached the assembly room, grabbed my stuff and went home. I don’t even think anyone noticed, everyone goes home right after anyway.
