awhile back people made a big stink about the fact that someone snuck a noxious paragraph into trump’s “big beautiful bill” that outlawed anyone from legislating against AI. ever.
is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that there have been NO intrepid investigative reporters looking into WHO snuck that paragraph into the #bbb? and WHY?
are there no up and coming woodwards and berenstains for the world today?
why not?
“Lazy” Days: Are They Really a Thing?
Anticapitalist Preamble Global society at large often thinks that "lazy" days are very real and very much "unproductive" days when, in reality, these are the days in which we should feel relieved from menial labor. Unfortunately, we live in a capitalist society, which results in the cultural erasure of the communal values that humanity absolutely depends on for collective survival. Our society cannot stop degrading our natural environments, and because of this, "lazy" days must stop being […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/10/05/lazy-days-are-they-really-a-thing/
Capitalism Causes Procrastination
I have largely been putting off on my homework until the very last minute, unfortunately, particularly as the capitalist system is well-known for causing procrastination that the system punishes and calls "laziness." Both "laziness" and "procrastination" are capitalist constructs in the very exact shape and form that results in the concept of deadlines as a capitalist construct, even if indirectly. This is particularly "alarming" and/or "concerning" on my computer science classes as I […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/10/05/capitalism-causes-procrastination/
Ah, the "revolutionary" missing UI for Claude Code: 
where magic containers promise to let you juggle clones of Claude like circus balls 
. Because why bother with actual coding when you can play god with AI agents that do it for you? 
Just download #Sculptor and become the "architect" while the bots build your monument to #laziness.

A good article by Frances Ryan
Did Labour really think it was a good idea to let Farage hijack the summer headlines?
Summarised as ‘have Labour already given up?’
A massive (undeserved - but that is FPTP) majority and this is all they can do with it?
These are just a few applications I've discovered that use Electron.
- Notion
- New Outlook
- 1Password
- Evernote
- Obsidian
- MS Teams
- Slack
- TeamViewer
- etc.
Instead of making everything work faster, developers stopped caring about resources and optimizing their programs.
Is Electron.js the new obsession?
I've been surprised to find that almost all popular applications use Electron.js/WebView/WebAssembly. How long will this last?
Now, instead of computer apps, we have browser windows running, each of which consumes 1 GB of memory, lags and freezes terribly.
If you think that unemployed youngsters are just lazy asses, think again.
Zach Rios's latest is about insane job demands made by companies.
Right out of the gate. The first case that Zach reports has someone who did not get a job because:
"asking questions about salary, responsibilities, and work culture are not things we like to discuss during the interview process."
(Iffy grammar in the original.)
Bloody... fucking... hell!
It is a job interview. WTF are you supposed to ask? Back when I did interviews, this is exactly what they expected prospects to ask.
The whole video is worth a watch, because Zach has more insanity to show.
Really enjoying this winding back the decades initiative to #InstantCoffee. Not the taste, obvs, that's simply quite nasty, ofc. No, i'm revelling in the sense of carefree abandon now available to me. I can have as many cups as i want of a day now, free of that overwhelming sense of dread that stalked me before, knowing that each time i poured from the plunger i was evermore close to having to once again clean out the fucken thing to make another bloody batch. It was totes the sword of Damocles, & in fact the superior taste aspect was somewhat offset by the constant dread. So, yay #laziness ? 
Behold, a groundbreaking innovation: an over-engineered #ESP32 module to control your #Daikin aircon! Because, clearly, toggling the switch manually was way too mainstream. Let's all applaud this feat of #technology, which ensures you'll never have to rise from your throne of #laziness again.

I have discovered a way to sit in peace in #losangeles without some random person coming up to me and asking me for a smoke when I'm using a vape, or trying to sell me drugs as that tends to happen when you hang out idle for a while:
Sit somewhere very inconvenient to get to.
A very large hill, or on a ledge somewhere high up will do just fine and I love climbing on stuff.
#laziness is a powerful thing to use to your advantage when you aren't lazy.
People too lazy to write "please" instead of "pls" don't deserve their request to be granted.

I just published a comment by mizu where he refers to an interesting video from 1994: "maybe in the future #pharmacies and #bookstores will be the same since people will be so lazy to read the contents of a book that they will want to get the contents of the #books from something that they can digest easily, in the form of pills (or injections)."
8 teachings and lessons from the success of ‘The Art of Laziness’
A self-help book with one of the most catchy and intriguing titles is ‘The Art of Laziness’. While it might sound like a book about being non-productive, it is quite the opposite. Here we mention 8 lessons people took from the book and its success. #teachings #lessons #success #Art #Laziness
Eleven (11) years this sign has been broken. For a little while it said "Roo Inn" (which was cute). Then just "Roo." It has said "Poo" for at least five years.
(The other side says "Roo").
"Fetterman, Often Absent From Senate, Says He Has Been Shamed Into Returning" that is, he was shamed into doing the job he is being paid to do. Poor baby:

Fetterman: “It shook me that people are willing to weaponize that I got help.”
