Obsessed with this quote from an AI bro who is under the impression that horses "can do whatever they want now" as a result of the invention of the car.

must be a uniquely european thing to be able to frame the breach of a border fence in africa as a violation of european sovereignty and talk about a colonial enclave as being a victim of invasion
two of my fav postelection mejmejs so far

@streetartutopia@mastodon.online Unless there's a fixed webcam that's miraculously stayed in place there despite every building around it being leveled then this is AI generated. Both images have pixel-perfect identical framing, which is impossible to achieve years apart even in perfect conditions. Given the abundance of genuine photographic evidence of the destruction of Gaza it seems unhelpful to spread AI-generated approximations that risk feeding zionist narratives about fabricated evidence.
the high density of ferry routes is a very cool thing about living in skåne. just back from an incredible road trip through poland. genuinely amazing how much more enjoyable it is to travel without flying.

@streetartutopia@mastodon.online hate it when the IDF bombs my 1x1 red wooden outhouse and turns it into a 4x5 concrete ruin

@streetartutopia@mastodon.online wonder which type of munitions can cause this specific very interesting pattern of damage to electrical poles
Had completely missed that Wikipedia has banned LLM use to generate or rewrite article content. What an incredible relief that there are still competent people out there with leadership authority over important things.

@jvoisin@infosec.exchange what you've done here was below any reasonable standard of professional conduct, and also very strange to me. I'm an accessibility nerd and have recently begun digging into Forgejo's accessibility bugs. They do have a few, which to me was like "oh cool, it will probably be fun to work with them on these". Makes no sense to me as a specialist in solving a particular type of problem to build a brand as someone this publicly hostile to those you deem as having too much of that problem.
feels great to have finally migrated off of dusty old mastodon.social. had my eye on radikal.social for aaaaaaages as the perfect combo of cool domain, cool people, and geographic proximity. är vänsterpartist och fackligt aktiv i #malmo

having a blast reading the leaked claude code source. new fav regex:
/\b(wtf|wth|ffs|omfg|shit(ty|tiest)?|dumbass|horrible|awful|piss(ed|ing)? off|piece of (shit|crap|junk)|what the (fuck|hell)|fucking? (broken|useless|terrible|awful|horrible)|fuck you|screw (this|you)|so frustrating|this sucks|damn it)\b/
as someone who was very obsessed indeed with music as a means of language acquisition in my teenage years i am incapable of reading or hearing the name "claude" without immediately associating it with mc solaar
christ have you seen the state of the program at organize? having a nightmare picking which ones to go to and which ones to miss, it's all so goddamn good

Hyresgästföreningen (Sweden's tenants union) are running a big campaign against deregulation of rent control this year cos of the election as it's a likely consequence of a win for the right-wing bloc. They have this web-based calculator at https://www.hyresgasternasval.se/kalkylator where you can estimate how much your rent will go up under deregulation. It's a great campaign and every time I get an email from it in my inbox it makes me really happy.
the svea vaccin at trianglen in malmö has this huge fuck off world map like 3m tall in the waiting room. spotted some subtle republican graffiti on it today
if youre not on the nasa livestream right now youre missing out big time. bunch of astronauts chilling at the window describing how the moon looks close up in detail
NASA’s Artemis II Crew Flies Around the Moon (Official Broadcast)
One of the astronauts just described how he had to cover one of the rear windows because the glare from Earth was fucking up his moon photos.

The Debian project looks set to elect a woman as project lead for the first time. Made me dead happy and motivated me to try to accelerate my return to daily driving Linux.
Also noticed that the usual suspects over on X are in the process of raising a reactionary mob about it. So here's a lovely song for them.
remember when google worked? this search for malmo news turned up an article from nearly a year ago, incorrectly marked it as "27 minutes ago", and inexplicably attached a photo of ayatollah khomeini as if the IDF were doing airstrikes on malmö tonight to bring about regime change in iran
Have often felt one of the giveaways of text coming from an LLM is if it has the tonality of a cokehead CEO doing a Ted Talk about his business beliefs. The byelection result in Gorton and Denton has produced a statement that might force me to broaden that to include "dissident labour MP trying to rally a leadership challenge".
varit ute och affischerat ikväll i malmö. loads of these bad boys. election year underway!

@mvsde there's been some good discussion in the forgejo project about implementing this!

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
This moon shit is the coolest thing ever. Left hand side image is how the moon looks tonight from earth. Right hand side is how it looks right now on the NASA livestream. Reminds me of when somebody would glitch out of the level in Halo 2 back in the day.
wrote a little thing about my relationships with music and homesickness
Finding a typo in your recently sent cover letter five years ago: Oh god! I look like a total prick! There goes that one!
Finding one now: Hell yeah, didn't notice I'd done that. It's a bad one too so they'll definitely spot it and they'll know I wrote this myself by hand!
There is a "clean-room AI rewrite" of the leaked Claude source on GitHub with 90k stars and a YouTube-style "No copyright infringement intended" disclaimer where the license would normally be in the README ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@radikal@radikal.social suddenly unable to access the server unless i use a vpn. connection simply hangs indefinitely otherwise. any idea whether my IP has suddenly been denylisted or whether i happen to have rotated onto a "bad" one with a history of abuse?
do genuinely think the constraints of remote work produce better organisational cultures and all that but my absolute fav thing about working remotely is being able to sing Ross Kemp On Gangs whenever i like as loud as i like
get some more moon in your terminal

There's a crypto/AI guy spamming every terminal devtools subreddit he can find with slop cheatsheet websites. On the Zellij subreddit I've posted my own handmade one to race him for pink slips.
