This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Anyone with half a working brain in computer tech would know that, if you really need something to be kept on, but checked regularly, it becomes a fucking server that you connect to using different equipment. But that's too high tech for vibe-whatevers.
"I think people think I'm whatever the equivalent of an iPad kid is for a middle-aged woman," one AI user said.
Ackshually, we think you're an absolute fucking idiot.
Also - ffs, they can't even disable sleep in system settings?????
Kids today are braindead
Amen. what's so fucking difficult about screen/tmux and a ssh connection?
For them? I'm willing to bet literally everything
Figures they don't know how to keep their laptops awake while the lid is closed lmao
This is the first setting I changed on every laptop I ever owned. So often I had stuff running in the background and didn't want it to sleep. Plus, windows had that stupid fucking sleep bug, so usually I'd use hibernate anyways.
You're giving them too much credit. They're afraid their chatbot will suffocate if they close those lid all the way.
Oh bro your laptop was open, I closed it so it wouldn’t eat up all your battery.
This was one of the cringiest articles I have ever read.
There is no way this happened lmao.
I lost it at “sorry, I’m using Claude”.
I like how they think they're somehow special for walking around with their laptops open. Business idiots have been doing this forever. It isn't some new "AI coder" thing. Jane from fucking accounting does this on the way to her meetings too you morons.
Normally I want mine to sleep on close.
Kinda reminiscent of people walking while holding their phones on their palm face up like a slice of bread.
I gotta hide this article. His punchable face on my feed is insufferable.
Brace yourselves for a windows update that will override the settings with giant bubble buttons on how to turn off sleep mode..
So relieved I'm fully Linux now
When you lock your lid: Do nothing When on battery, turn off laptop after: Never
They think "do nothing" means the AI will do nothing.
One of the things that concern me about the AI revolution, is that users don't have the critical thinking skills to discern bad information, bad code, bad prompts, etc., etc.
Does anyone have an example of a real world, AI coded thing? I keep hearing about all these vibe coders, but I'm not seeing any tangible products.
It’s weird, people love saying they ai code. But they don’t like admitting their products are vibe coded.

Everfall 2 is the "sequel" to Everfall, a vibe coded disaster of a game. The sequel only exists because the "dev" couldn't figure out how to get Claude to fix the fact that save games just didn't work. One week after publishing the original, he abandoned it saying the sequel would be given to everyone who bought the first at a "huge discount". After push back, he reduced it to free if you DM him on discord. The sequel is almost exactly the same as the first game except saving works more often. Like, literally 100% carbon copy. The screenshots on each steam page is proof of that.
I'm not sure if I see a reason not to disable sleep on lid close. If you have to carry it around lid open so that it doesn't sleep, you clearly have a case for wanting to keep the laptop running with lid closed.
If it's a "look at me, I'm doing things", it's a whole different story.
My money is on the latter
"For those who don't want to input a command in a terminal"
Sounds like they are being performative: they want every one to know and to ask them about it.
