it is difficult to overstate what a comprehensive dunderhead Why from Bluesky, vibecoding wunderkind, formerly of various cryptocurrency projects and current neoreactionary VibeCamp habitue, truly is

@davidgerard LMFAO???

[Gast]

@davidgerard who cares if it's waterproof, just what kind of thought process is this

[Gast]

@davidgerard
This reads even more like a Dankpods mic test than Advait Paliwal's screed about horses.

[Gast]

@davidgerard

Man, that's bizarre.

[Gast]

@davidgerard It's the same mix of arrogance and ignorance that techbros chose to put into their AI.

[Gast]

@davidgerard Sounds like the sort of person whose hubris has only caused temporary shame because their wealth insulated them from their ignorance.

[Gast]

@davidgerard holy fuck lmao

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@customdeluxe eugenicists are all like that, it keeps resulting in them not being at the top (or alive)

[Gast]

@rfc6919 @mewsleah @davidgerard

Nope. At least, I don't think so. Someone outed _Why's real name some time ago and it's not Jeremy Johnson.

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@suetanvil @rfc6919 @mewsleah Jeromy is the bsky one

[Gast]

@davidgerard I cool down my phone all the time in water and no issues, I wonder what went wrong, maybe the sealing wasn't that good in his case anymore?

[Gast]

@davidgerard They just be letting anybody have kids, don't they.

[Gast]

@davidgerard Isn't "water + electronics = BAD" one of the first safety rules you learn as a kid. Why are there people defending this

[Gast]

@davidgerard this shit really does turn you into a bumbling fool

[Gast]

@davidgerard me irl

[Gast]

@davidgerard@circumstances.run "nah these things are waterproof"

against fucking rain, the little water droplets that fall on the screen, not dipping the phone in a body of water and letting it flow inside ports ​​

[Gast]

@spinnyspinlock @davidgerard one of all first thoughts, no second thoughts

[Gast]

@witix@mk.absturztau.be @davidgerard@circumstances.run to be fair many modern phones are IP68 or thereabouts and are thus rated to survive full submersion in water

[Gast]

@davidgerard@circumstances.run @witix@mk.absturztau.be based on them saying they need an apple store im going to guess that their phone is one of those

[Gast]

@davidgerard@circumstances.run @witix@mk.absturztau.be although I believe if you get your phone wet with water like that (e.g. saltwater or in this case pool water which is likely chlorinated) youre supposed to rinse it with fresh water

or at least thats the case for sure with my watch
