      The fact that you can’t tell if this is satire because it’s not even an exaggeration of what one of these clanker zealots would say.

      Sad to see. The Holy See’s virulent anti-AI stance will hold the Church back as other religions continue to innovate. Praying the Pope adopts a grindset more compatible with the speed of the modern world

      ✨ I just published a new post, and it’s all about one of the most mind-blowing new CSS features: subgrid.

      So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.
