I used to contribute a lot to Drupal core. I still work as a Drupal consultant. If you need help debugging tricky Drupal backend problems, reach out.

I love this kind of music: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvL3SharHGKut2spUcOB0zvHW0zYLadhd

And while I didn't add the letters ADHD to the end of the music playlist, I do have ADHD. Unmanaged RSD caused a lot of problems in my life: working on it.

@elementary@mastodon.social @dr_marmelade@hachyderm.io I guess we should be thankful to Linus for another data point in showing how LLMs are fundamentally a fascist tech: the moment he came out for them he went full gamergater. He was always an insufferable asshole but this, I think, is new.

@nosdregamon@mastodon.gamedev.place @kixxauth@mstdn.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr interestingly, Microsoft copilot is the first to break the LLM kayfabe by putting "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only" in ToS and " avoid using COPILOT for ... any task requiring accuracy or reproducibility [and] Tasks with legal, regulatory or compliance implications" in Excel docs. They know it's unusable. The other is Apple. I find it notable Apple refuses to create a competing LLM themselves. They also know it's unusable.

Incredibly insightful article on AI https://jasonpargin.substack.com/p/everyone-is-wrong-about-ai-except

Two very interesting and important section headers:

“Robots are actually more alive than we are” is a core belief in our society

We’re never going to space so AI is what we’re doing instead

It is really really great and explains so much. cc @davidgerard@circumstances.run @pluralistic@mamot.fr

@helge@mas.to @davidgerard@circumstances.run it still makes me stupefied and sad people use these tools as if they were talking to a human. It's just matrix multiplication. Sure, a real lot of them but please. "pal"? It's no more your pal than Excel or Chrome.

@ecn@mastodon.social I contributed to the Drupal open source project for 22 years. Every Drupal core commit is reviewed by smart, hard working programmers who truly give their best. And yet, Drupal core has bugs and security holes. Something to think about.

I have an absolutely terrifying thought: OpenAI / Anthropic gets people addicted to their shit, their cognitive abilities significantly decreased and so when the inevitable tenfold price jump happens people will feel they have *no choice* but to pay it.

@kentparkstreet1 they did it because banksy dared to criticize the UK government designating the pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. This is crystal clear, alas.

@mitchellh@hachyderm.io I love the idea. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/blob/e2aee7f75b864ec4b9759dbc1231d5464fadbdf5/build.zig#L344 makes me think this compiles on Windows (I run WSL). However, there's no precompiled image as far as I can see. Is this planned? Thanksso much.
