@dbattistella@todon.eu I read about this, it is incredible. I wish everybody was free to pursue their curiosities.

mastodon 4.7.3You know the drill: I’m an open source nerd and my remarks here only represent my thoughts at the time I posted them. They don’t represent anybody else’s thoughts at all. I also reserve the right to change my mind, and if I do change my mind I invite you to ask me why I did.
Oh, and I aggressively block bots. Oh, and you should be reading 2600 magazine.

This is Maurice Moss, and she approves of scritches. #caturday
We live in a society that blames the poor for their poverty while tolerating the existence of leeches who become billionaires (and trillionaires) by stealing the wages of others. We are expected to believe this is fair and the result of choices made by individuals.
It is all wrong.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online @lostgen@det.social the fact remains: when you subscribe to Mullvad you are giving the folks at the top, who get to retain a disproportionate amount of subscription fees, more money with which at least one of them will use to fund political movements without respect for human rights and dignity.
@yelp@bird.makeup has started hiding reviews and comments from their mobile-optimized website to continue their practice of forcing people to use their surveillance app.
Enshittification is the worst, time to block these assholes at the pihole.
@pirateflags@stefanbohacek.online aye aye aye aye
@HopelessDemigod@mstdn.social stay safe, friend.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk I’m glad we’ve picked DNS as a service to saddle with this complexity. It’s not like we’ve had difficulty with DNS before or anything. Pretty solid, pretty stable, seldom a problem.

@ChuckMcManis @darkuncle @lcamtuf Yeah, but with the progress of AI we can fuck up and learn how dumb we are at record pace! PROGRESS!
Replying to
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org it’s rock solid. I like the idea of one with a screen, but I think there’s something interesting about having to train for that extra hand-eye coordination.

@dacmot @pluralistic I have no good reason to believe such a thing, nor do any passers-by. This is one of the problems with surveillance.
Replying to
@pluralistic I wonder what they’d think if some regular dude rolled up in his van doing this on his own rig.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party Because if they don't keep throwing more money into the furnace, investors will think they're out of money to throw into the furnace, or that the furnace has cooled to the point where it can no longer burn money.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social I had no idea that Nebraska allowed someone to run for a party they weren't a member of in good standing.

@PaulHammond51@fosstodon.org This is someone's job. That person is quite fortunate, and I am grateful for them.

@knu @nerdpr0f @moltendrinker @mttaggart Yeah, I've watched Tuxedo Computers from a far for a while. In the past I chose other vendors because of keyboard availability options, which have drastically improved, but I'd certainly look at them if I were looking to buy right now.

@evan That's one giant "well, it depends" for me. I would probably just follow-up with them after the meeting, make sure that they're OK, and offer help if they need it.

@gabrielesvelto @nerdpr0f @moltendrinker @mttaggart Second-hand is a great option! There's a lot of good hardware out there looking for love that is just being pitched in the trash.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org yeah; my intuos (CTL-490) just works when I plug it in. All of the features. Krita is quite good with it.
Replying to
@tuban_muzuru @carnage4life yeah, I don’t think we actually are there. This shit is still expensive and the price is only going up as the business realities of this wildly inefficient compute load adds up over time.
It’s fun to make fun of Spirit Airlines closing, but thousands of flight attendants are out of work without severance.
Here is their fundraiser, I encourage contributions for mutual aid: https://unionly.io/o/afadrf/relieffund?link_id=13

@Alice I’m pretty sure the correct pronunciation is to burst into flames and ask if anybody smells something burning. I always ask them to hold the sour cream, though.
Replying to
@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org the saddest part of this for me is that many Wacom tablets which created this pattern, including the one I use, are no longer usable on any OS besides Linux.
Replying to
@evan yes, but I would make sure I got the consent of anybody who was in the shot first. Not everybody wants to be put on blast off-Fedi, and good manners are often free-of-charge.
You know somebody living with PTSD, even if you don’t know who. Please don’t make jokes about their disability, it’s not funny and it makes it harder for them to interact with you.
If you fuck up and forget this advice and get called out, acknowledge the mistake, apologize, and move on to do better.
Unnecessary defensiveness has never made a joke funnier; not once.

@carnage4life I mean, it _is_ a job killer. Motherfucking Taco Bell is using generative AI to take orders in the fucking drive-thru now.
There is precisely a 0% chance that a drive-thru worker at Taco Bell is more expensive than the tokens it takes for that use case.
Replying to
@tuban_muzuru @carnage4life I’d be surprised if Taco Bell, as well as every other major leech corp, isn’t just buying open AI tokens.
