okay it was a much smaller and much less risky job than i imagined it might be and it's done now. my scrollwheel seems to behave like a normal scrollwheel rather than something possessed.

Just one trans woman's opinion, but I hold that the ideal way to recover from accidentally misgendering a person and being called out is to simply repeat the sentence, corrected. No apologies (or just a quick "sorry" or "pardon" if it flows), no justifications. It happens. We get it. Nobody's looking to shame anyone, only correct a mistake before it perpetuates.

A: "And then he told me that he wanted to..."
B: "They"
A: "And then they told me that they wanted to meet me at this coffee shop..."

considering dissassembling my trackball to try and clean the scroll wheel.

upside: may fix a huge annoyance
downside: may break it, can't afford another, so would be stuck with whatever shit mouse from the junk box

@soatok I'm not immediately convinced that this is going to be a problem because it would be challenging for chatgpt to give worse advice than frustrated men are already giving each other on incel forums.

“Don’t seek permission, center values – The Ideophone”

https://ideophone.org/dont-seek-permission-center-values/

This is a solid post on how to frame a debate on the ethics of using various forms of "AI". The problem with applying it in tech, specifically, is that IMO a majority of tech workers simply have no values and would gladly program a school-destroying drone if paid to do so. Otherwise the Google protests, for example, would have completely shut the company down

@baldur I also noticed that the global consciousness of a software crisis, and more generally awareness about the state of software quality, dropped significantly since the pandemic. Previously, big software failures were making the headlines, from crypto library vulnerabilities to embedded car software faults to the failure of multi million € state-funded projects in Europe. I wonder if software became so vital and ingrained in our lives that we embraced all of its quirks, or if new practices around software craft, testing, agile, safer languages and platforms, devops, etc really raised the quality bar. Fun fact: I started looking for some data, turned to the Chaos Report as you would, to realize it stopped in 2020. Also chatGPT tells me “most current failure/success statistics are still based on 2020-era data” (for what it’s worth) 😆

This Afroman trial is giving me life.

Cops raided Afroman's house for no reason. They pointed guns at him and his kids, ransacked his house, and tried to disconnect his home security cameras. They didn't disconnect them all, and so were allegedly caught on camera stealing his money.

He then made a series of music videos using footage from his security camerasz and body cam footage. Now the cops are suing him for making the videos. The ACLU is defending him.
