Greenhouse (the recruiting platform) added an LLM chatbot. The button to open it floats in the lower-left of the window. On the scorecard page, it obscures the text of the candidate's scorecard writeup.
Edit: this uBlock Origin rule eradicates the chat widget:

Rather annoyed to have received a record in this condition after paying the new vinyl big bucks. All three seams of the inner liner split and a corner crushed.
(It was the normal price for new vinyl, I just prefer buying for $1 at garage sales)
Doctor's office has a new laminated paper describing how they use an LLM note taker this visit. Ask if I can opt out, and I can. But then get pressed why. And then pressed more because they didn't like my answer, and "it doesn't make diagnostic decisions."
This fucking sucks.
I am supposed to draw a large system diagram for a meeting tomorrow. Miro, the tool my employer uses for this sort of thing, is completely down, and has been for 40 minutes.
They should make a Predator / King Kong film and call it Ape x Predator
A sampling of the fine cinema recently added to my NAS:
- Outlaw of Gor
- Demon Cop
- Dr. Alien
- Cemetery High
- Die Hard Dracula
- Robot Holocaust
What a depressingly voluminous list.
In Seattle for a little bit, so I'm gonna eat a bag of Dick's.
I have decided that the Bobiverse books are akin to LitRPG, but for Cookie Clicker type incremental games.

Look, I'm not one to kink shame a guy, but I really do think it's unacceptable on a viscerally repulsive level to marry Kristi Noem.
Linear (a SaaS work tracking system) reset everyone's preferences so you get their LLM agent when you open it.
(You can fix it in Settings -> Preferences -> General -> Default home view)
Everyone in the 1991 Dark Shadows reboot has an *outrageous* French accent.
The Jellyfin desktop client got deprecated in favor of an "experimental rewrite" with one of its three goals to test "the effectiveness of Claude Code as a tool to aid application rewrites"
fuckin welp
Anyone have a source for HP 03a (formerly C3903a) toner cartridges? They seem to be discontinued by HP and the OEM ones are often DOA in sealed packaging, so would prefer a third party or remanufactured option.
Me: *groans in frustration*
My wife, in the adjacent room: "Everything okay?"
Me: I am trying to log in to a web site.
*gestures at a massive landfill on fire as the trash topples over, setting a residential subdivision aflame*
No way would we have been able to build this without AI!
