I feel this in my soul. I got my first computer when I was 8, and started learning programming when I was 10. When I was 18, I wrote my own Start Menu, because the Windows XP start menu sucked. It was a clone of the OpenSUSE menu for Windows called Open Menu+.

Now I’m old and I wrote my own email service because all the existing ones sucked. I’m way more comfortable at home on my computer than anywhere else.

I’m not even sure that I could count how many computers I own. It would probably be considered an addiction if I hadn’t made it my job.

The last response.

I wasn’t talking about the art.

I mean the final reply. It’s really similar to a bunch of AI replies from bots on Twitter that don’t understand being facetious. But it’s also a really ironic and sarcastic reply, which is hilarious.

I can’t tell if it’s just AI slop or it’s expertly crafted satire of AI slop.

Edit: I’m not talking about the art, I’m talking about the last response.

Can I pay taxes on “apparent income”?

The way I view AI is the way I view those pod coffee machines. They are good at doing a couple things. The only difference is people aren’t trying to push those as a solution to everything.

You want a single cup of coffee? My guy, this machine will give you exactly what you want.

You want multiple cups of coffee? Ok, so you can just use this machine multiple times. Yes, it will be annoying and you’ll have to sit there guiding it to make coffee the whole time. Yes, it will be cold, bland coffee by the time you’re finished. Yeah, it will produce tons of waste, but that’s just worth it because you’ll have so much coffee. I’m sure everyone will want to drink it.

Oh, you want a latte? Well you can use this machine as a starting point, then finish it yourself. Oh no, it won’t be a good latte, but it will be faster than making it yourself, and speed is the most important thing about lattes. Oh, you’re good at making lattes and can make it faster yourself? Well, not all of us are good at lattes. Stop gatekeeping lattes, my dude.

You want orange juice? Just squeeze an orange into this machine, right where the pod would go! It’s so versatile! You’re gonna love the hot, watered down orange juice! It looks just like regular orange juice, doesn’t it!? How could you not like it??

You want a cheeseburger? Hold on, I’m positive I can figure out how to get a cheeseburger out of this machine. I’m going to keep finagling it until I can get it to regurgitate something that looks like a cheeseburger.

Every day is another test. I forgot my #2 pencil.

Roses are dead, Violets are dead, I suck at gardening.

Ok, fair enough.

If you are a big fan of wasting disk performance, CPU cycles, and ultimately power.

This is a terrible solution. You will stress your IO for no reason.

As another commenter said, you want inotifywait:

Oh god please don’t do this. Constantly reading the file is just stressing your IO for no reason.

Please inotify instead:

False. I have no idea what licking lava would feel like.

Why would you need to update the app? It should all run on their servers. This is indicative of poor and buggy app design.

I got that bitch some blue. Bitches love blue.

If I were a dung beetle, you’d be the prettiest pile of shit I’ve ever seen.

I want to do this now.

Cladistically speaking, whales are just a big colony of eukaryotic clones.
