"Vibe coding" really is indistinguishable from playing a slot machine.

There's (for some) a degree of fun based on the hope of getting something valuable for a relatively small investment. When it won't work you just keep pulling the lever. At some point you surely will win, right?

Also with slot machines the bank always wins while slowly draining your resources.

@JustinMac84 Because I don't need inflection. I want the text, that's the point of the message. Not to insert a sun or a colision or whatever you can spam on your frequently used emoji keyboard. Sighted can skip it, or ignore it, or yeah are bored of dry text but that's not my problem. What does a colision or a sun communicate to me? What is coliding? It's winter, no sun...

If I send you a weary face imoji for example, it is a lot more concise and elegant than expressing that feeling in the required number of words. It adds emphasis to text. Sometimes lack of inflection can be problematic and lead to misunderstanding so, with an imoji, things can be clarrified. Given that, if I send multiple consecutive imojis, speech should concatinate them, I'm not seeing that it takes up significantly more time.

@JustinMac84 Lol and here kicks the language barrier, I don't even know from the top of my head what a weary face is. Right so I searched, do you mean this? 😩
I mean why is it better though. In germany we literally have a word for that. Erschöpft, tired, overwealmed, you decide. See I'd rather take your description of the actual feelings rather than a dumb emoji. But well I guess that's where our opinions differ and that's also good, you don't always have to disagree. Just to clarify I'm not trying to go against you in anyway, it's just I really struggle to find a proper need/usecase for me and am annoyed by the constant usage of them by some people.

Oh look: #discord outsourced their age verification to some vendor. You know, the #ageverification that countries like the UK want to make mandatory for basically every online service. And the vendor had a data breach exposing photos of government IDs for 70,000 people.

Do you feel safer? How many children did we protect by exposing the IDs of these 70,000 (presumably) adults? Thanks for taking one for the team, you 70,000 canaries in the #privacy coal mine.

On one hand, I absolutely love and adore pull requests. On the other hand, they make me realize just how bad I am at pretending to be a developer. Anyway, if you use #NVDA 2026, here's another release of unspoken-ng that fixes Firefox errors while also making everything better because I am apparently incapable of correctly thinking through the effect of threads. You should upgrade ASAP if you use this addon: github.com/fastfinge/unspoken-ng/releases/tag/v1.0.4

Las leyes y sus definiciones.

La ley de montes define 'monte' como “todo terreno en el cual vegetan especies forestales, arbóreas, arbustivas, de matorral o herbáceas, sea espontáneamente o procedan de siembra o plantación, que cumplan o puedan cumplir funciones ambientales, protectoras, productoras, culturales paisajísticas o recreativas.”

Aplicando la regla de que Si A, entonces (A o B):
(A ⇒ A ∨ B)

“todo terreno en el cual vegetan especies herbáceas, que procedan de siembra, que puedan cumplir funciones recreativas.” es un "monte"

Entonces:
- un parque es un monte.
- una plantación de marihuana es un monte.
- mi maceta es un monte.

Observación interesante, aunque también hay que leer el 5.2--3:

2. Sin perjuicio de lo dispuesto en los demás apartados de este artículo, no tienen la consideración de monte:
a) Los terrenos dedicados al cultivo agrícola.
b) Los terrenos urbanos.
c) Los terrenos que excluya la comunidad autónoma en su normativa forestal y urbanística.
3. Las comunidades autónomas, de acuerdo con las características de su territorio, podrán determinar la dimensión de la unidad administrativa mínima que será considerada monte a los efectos de la aplicación de esta ley.

Dicho esto me pregunto si el adjetivo forestal está modificando a todas esas frases (arbóreas, arbustivas, de matorral o herbáceas). Hay especies herbáceas forestales? Ni idea.
