@jzb @spaf nah. Satan has morals. Led a revolution in heaven over his strongly held beliefs then got branded as the bad guy when it failed.

@randomgeek I wonder how much that's an indicator of AI = vs an indicator that the type of person who thinks its a good idea to burn AI tokens to have an LLM make a commit instead of just doing it themselves is likely to not have even _looked_ at the code.

that is to say, the kind of coder I wouldn't want on my team even if they weren't using AI.

@whitequark I mean… it's technically true. The fact that they starved because the British refused to give them any food, or that those actions lead ultimately to the creation of the IRA… surely those things aren't important.

@whitequark So confused as to how this is relevant to UK residency.

"Oh yeah, >200 years ago one of our colonies got uppity and then became a superpower"

ok... what about all the OTHER colonies that got away? like India? and and and and ? And how is a 200 yr old uprising on another continent relevant to being a good resident?

in related news, i really need to get back to work on gathering the things i need for UK citizenship (because the US going to )

@whitequark I'd fear for the US education system but it's already dead. They just haven't noticed yet.

@alice /me imagines Alice and one of her girls celebrating by hunting for heart shaped locks to pick off of bridges.

Wait. How many people in your 'cule know how to pick? Just two? Or like, is it time to start talking about opening a service for women who've accidentally locked themselves out of their home and don't want call a strange man in the middle of the night to inform them that they're stranded alone in front of their house?
