I don't hate Jira because it's slow. I hate it because it has obvious well known quirks and deficiencies that never get corrected.

Plus "next generation projects" that just stall and seem unfinished.

If I didn't see them slam ai into it in weeks just like everyone else I would say they have no product teams or engineers working on it.

It may not have been completely avoidable though. What if the maximum number of people who would ever vote for blue is 30%

If that's the case then it's truly impossible to save them.

Your assumption is there is more than 50% of people who will vote blue or could be convinced to do so.

It's a terrifying thought that there could be such a deficit of empathetic people. But without any evidence you're just hoping based on your own beliefs that over 50% believe in blue like you do.

What if I'm not afraid of dying. But I'm just not willing to throw my life away unless there's decent evidence it could succeed and we could get above 50%

Then I’d say you either really deserve the world you get when red wins, or you don’t really deserve the world you get when blue wins.

I notice that this thing you and others call empathy doesn't extend to the outgroup: if anybody doesn't subscribe to it, fuck 'em, is the general sentiment.

I have no idea what you are referring to. This isn’t a question of ingroup or outgroup.

No idea! Well, I must assume good faith and believe you. To me it looks like you're labelling everybody you dislike as "probably a psychopath, best disposed of". I suppose that's consistent with saying they're not the outgroup, it's just a practical necessity or something.

In this instance of course what you're proposing is very mild: you think they should suffer one another's company - which you imagine would be a terrible experience. Unless you further imagine that they'd like it? But my impression was that you thought they'd have a bad time, and since they're your non-compassionate outgroup, you very compassionately don't care.

You read a bunch of things into what I wrote that simply are not there. I like plenty of people who would press the red button without hesitation. Their decision is their decision and my decision is mine. Might they “have a bad time?” Maybe. Maybe not. I’m certain I would have a terrible time, if I joined them in the majority.

I think it would be hard to prove you, individually, were the deciding vote to blue.

Everyone who voted blue in such a case could think they were the one vote. And they could be right.

They are indeed cringe worthy. Even my four year old cries when his spoon is the wrong kind of spoon. This does not make him spoon-phobic. It means he is a kid who has no control of his emotions.

A baby has even less understanding.

Everyone who is debating the homophobia of the baby is projecting.

I believe they call it "humour".

Unfortunately many people are humourphobic.

>> Everyone who is debating the homophobia of the baby is projecting.

The gay men in the video were saying this about the baby. If its a joke? Then its a really sad one when people are filming their cringeworthy interactions with a newborn and then posting for the entire internet to view in order to get attention.

Welcome to the severe, rapid decline of Western Civilization.

I'll stand up and say we do need more evidence of that please.

Have you seen the near daily complaints about how Claude is getting worse or more expensive? I feel like there have been many recent posts like that, but it’s not limited to just here either. It seems like a lot of people are feeling like Anthropic is at least being not transparent, although many would say deceitful.

Or you can have all of those things but also not block cloudflare. Because blocking cloudflare is in the interest of just a few company's profits and is unrelated to everything else you mentioned.

Nah, I didn't miss anything. I've spent enough time in the EU (including the poorer parts that most tourists don't visit) to have a crystal clear perspective on the real situation.

Yeah, no sure, generalizing "the reality of living and working under an oppressive bureaucratic state" across the EU because specifically Cloudflare being unavailable in Spain for couple of hours a week is totally a nuanced, measured and accurate take and representation of how it is to live and work in the EU in 2026.

I recommend 14 days in jail for the site owner, and, if egregarious, the engineer as well.

Not life ruining but just enough to be annoying. Just like their website.

Or if they ever bring back the "ignore this domain" feature so we can ignore ai slop and copycat sites.

It's why I went to Kagi.

I never slept as bad in my life as when I had a single can of coca cola at 8-9 pm and went to bed at 11-12pm

I did this for a while working nights until I caught on. The nights I didn't have a can were much better.

As a movie consumer I am not interested in AI movies. You don't get to just keep the existing market and switch to AI. You are creating a new market of AI video consumers and hoping it's big enough.

I see this as an extension of the Netflix model: content for people who aren’t actually watching the movie

Why spend the effort making a show for people on their phones? Will they even notice if it’s slop?
