People who defend “they’re” as some form of grammatical purity. It’s a fucking contraction, basically the printing press version of an emoji. Stop with the pretentious bullshit.

Escalators and moving walkways are there to get you somewhere faster and with less effort. They are not meant to ferry your fat ass the entire way. That’s what elevators and carts are for. Move it!!!

Blister packaging for fucking everything.

I am paying for Cursor, which can use various models to help with software development. I use the AI to help me create design documents for software ideas I have and use those design documents to guide it in the development of that code. I’ve tried free models on my own hardware and they don’t come close, mostly because I don’t have a spare $5k for the right GPUs.

A long time ago I adopted the Jinx’s Rating For All Things system and it’s served me very well. It is very similar to OPs suggestion.

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This thing is core to who I am. I don’t want to live in a world without it. The experience was life changing.
• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: I really like this thing! This will be in my rotation for along time. I had an amazing time!
• ⭐️⭐️⭐️: I like it. Perfect in the background. If it’s on, I probably will watch/listen, but I probably won’t seek it out. Inoffensive. This meets but doesn’t exceed my expectations.
• ⭐️⭐️: Not my thing, but I see why people like it. It has value, just not to me. I was slightly annoyed.
• ⭐️: Why would anyone like this thing?!?!?!?

I personally think the 5-star rating system is perfect. Any more than that and a lot of the mid-tier ratings become arbitrary and everything is subject to immediacy bias. Tastes change over time and how much you like stuff changes, but I’ve found that they rarely change buckets in this system.

I don’t understand why someone cares if they like one thing “just a little bit more” than another. It doesn’t have to be a competition. Do you like it or do you love it? Is it core to understanding you as a person? Did you have an amazing time?

Keeper’s Browser extension is/was trash. Recently it had a bug where, on some websites, it’ll kept pasting my MFA token in every single number field on every page for the website, long after authentication finished.

I mean, you can, or you can use it to assure your firewall is configured correctly. The entire Internet is scanning you at all times, why would you focus your attention on one of the services who is willing to share their results with you?

Believe me, you probably have lower hanging fruit to pick.

This article is giving me Pee Wee vibes.

That is a good looking model!
