I really love and appreciate how @shanselman@hachyderm.io is running OSPO's leaders to keep discovering and unlocking gems like this:

"Our" true spirited man in huge corporation, continually doing just fine!

Good job Hancock!

@ne7@icosahedron.website blood tests mate, frequently and find trusted cardiologist. that's my advise to every 40+. cholesterol to be checked, diabetic characteristics to be checked, uric acid/goat risks to be checked... fat belly to be worked out. good diet, good sleep, no stress.. and don't ignore head aches.. this shit can stop your heart.. Heath Ledger also died from "head ache" and wrong med for that stopped his heart.. None of us are immortal at the end it seems. only art we do may be.

I really like so many people have come back to blogging. like seriously regularly blogging with quality. We got that right before Twitter and Facebook came in, distracting us for 20 years or so... that should have never happened. I like personal blogs on self-controlled places in the internet much more than all that centralised social media crap that still dares to live.

Update I turned my exe to be under 380kB on Windows by just swapping compilers back to Visual C++. Seems that my 10+ years "fuck no" to MSVC++ ran by mannered people (most are gone anyway I think, anyway).. maybe should be reconsidered.

@dalem@mastodon.bsd.cafe all we need to do is to ditch Web and start meeting in some other online way that can help us connect chat with meaningful content without all that surveilance (economy) crap. It’s technically easy, we just need to keep the snowball rolling

A proper wide and 4:3 handling and yeah.. just working.. without all the crapware and spyware software TV/monitor never needed to work!

Politics
@golemwire@fosstodon.org Linked in is Dead Internet Theory in practice. All I know about its demographics is that boomers (true boomer) and X at the end of their careers are just vowing and preaching their corporate medals, usually via their PR department and then you have X-Millenial cross-overs who try to adapt and treat is a blog space nobody cares about and younger... younger think they don't need a job, so why should they bother about a job board pretending to be social media some boomers invented decades ago... long story short. ditch LinkedIn.. it will never give you an easy shot for job and all other use cases are nonsense.

@ne7@icosahedron.website I’m continually impressed about Suno’s quality of generated music, less lyrics and songs as whole, but aiming at instrumental soundtracks, some examples are like wow to me. Still just a consumer, not a musician so I can’t judge artistic or technical quality of the constructs.. I simply often liked what I heard I could generate from simple prompts

RE: https://techhub.social/@ithorrorstories/116933021278792294 Very much this! Especially when AI becomes new mainframe as some sort of AI applicance enterprises can take back to their offices instead of relying of 5GW datacenters consolidated in untrusted locations.

All you people who are scared and hating AI because it replaces human labour... if you're truly at risk... then it means you have no skills worth mentioning, in the first place. People with real and valuable skills shouldn't be worried nor at need for strong emotions related to AI #ai #haters

Endless Sky is Elite/Frontier game without all that 3D flying crap. Perfect to those who only wanted to raise ranks in trade and interstellar travel, done quickly. For me perfect chill out game to turn on from time to time and enjoy it. #endlesssky

@tvaziri@mastodon.social Kids got it right.. and as a fan of AI I can tell regardless if this is movies or software or whatever.. if AI is a tool to make people more creative, performant and leading their own competences at broader scale... then that's the true benefit of AI... but if all that crazy thinking that AI can replace everybody continues... more people will be pissed and more people will just manifest not giving a damn #AI

@spacerog@mastodon.social that constantly reminds me that I should grow my own repair skills. less I know how to fix things.. more it costs me at the end to maintain it. random people and companies suck as skills and products anyway. that's unfortunately for granted these days.

@benbrown fair point tbh. New big tech is shaping out of that area and we already know what big tech means. Nevertheless learning is we need enough power to have this capacity local. Like it was promised to us in many movies in the 80s, right dude? I think that must be the ultimate future of this. Cloud is shit and just another server somebody owns people say. So is AI in the cloud

I'm running a software house without developers but with #AI for almost a year already.. last year this time it was still a bit of pain in the arse.. but now... I must admit the fruits of that development strategy become clear winners!

I used Helix Editor for over a year, as detox from vscode and I loved it. I still do.. but codex made me very much passive editor user and then I simply started using Zed for code reviews. but in vim/helix mode... and then after a year of not doing much editing, mostly reading and searching... I freaking found out myself that I need to re-learn vi(m) the helix way in zed again... damn it!
