LLMs do not "democratize programming". A 4-year-old can learn to program. LLMs throw up stupid barriers by convincing you that you can't learn to program and you have to rely on whatever shit the bobot spits out. Every asshole that says that AI "democratizes" fucking anything is trying to scam you.

I'd asked folks for recommendations, and sadly the majority of the recommendations were from companies that are better than (ex) Chrome, but only because they clearly want to BE the next Chrome.

One of the biggest tells: While most modern browsers will let you change the "homepage" displayed when you start the browser, none of them that I tried before LibreWolf would let you set a custom "New Tab" page. Instead, they render a search bar that nets them ad money when you use it.

Recently reevaluated my choice of browsers. Got tired of feeling like my browser was constantly trying to sell me something or get me to log into services that it could use to skim/sell my data.

Landed on #LibreWolf. Very good privacy-focused defaults. Comes with uBlock Origin, which I can use to disable JavaScript by default. (I'd prefer a browser that built that in, vs. relegating it to an extension, but maybe I'm splitting hairs.)

I can wait for the worst parts of my generation to become the neoboomers:

- fighting with employees because gpt-20-agi-strawberry told them they’re absolutely right about the bullshit they’re on
- constantly grifting, constantly upset you’re not falling for it
- will fight you on the cost of your labor because “I can replace you with a robot”, robot doesn’t exist
- doesn’t know fuck about shit
- “why haven’t you read any of the important information I sent you”, it’s all unsolicited AI slop

For the first time I can recall, my personal GitHub account has blown through 90% of its Github Actions quota. Is there a visualization for what, exactly, burned up all those CI minutes? The only docs I can find involve "insights" for orgs, which is not available on personal accounts.

I suspect Dependabot because this has been a quiet month for me personally but I'd like to be sure.

Why are some sports events “games” and others “matches”? I assume it’s an American English vs International English thing, eg a “soccer game” vs a “football match”, but never been quite sure.

Fellow peacekeeper: Is anybody writing protest songs NOW? Anybody at all?

Me: Oh! Do you know about Singing Resistance? *briefly explains SR's history* And there's a Madison chapter!

I still want to get rid of Photoshop and move to Krita.

One thing I was missing were the vector shapes. So here is a Python program that converts Photoshop csh and psp files to Krita svg shapes.

It comes as a plugin and as a standalone Python file with a TKInter UI. Tested on Windows and MacOS.

Here's the plugin: codeberg.org/xanathon/csh2krita

Extensive readme in the repository.

Not all, of course. But most of us.
And I don’t just mean ‘making peace with it’.

this is a classic "solving a people problem with tech and having horrible side effects as a result" situation

Since I know almost nothing about Ruby, I'll ask the fedi hivemind for tips...

If I want to start up a Ruby REPL and import 'net/http' so that I can try one request using the latest version of the Gem, what steps should I follow? In Python I'd create a virtualenv and then use 'pip install' to install the package I want - so I assume something similar exists for Ruby. Bonus points if I can do the same thing but intentionally use an older (specific) version of the Gem.

"There are already federal laws that ban armed federal agents at polling stations. But since Trump owns federal law enforcement, that doesn’t matter. What this model does is recommend states pass their own laws which follow the language of those federal laws as closely as possible. When state and federal law come into conflict, federal law is supreme. But only when the federal government is acting in a constitutional and lawful capacity. Since these new state laws would only be outlawing what is already against federal law they are only outlawing actions which by definition cannot be lawful."

hi yall. i'm looking for work. writing things like this has been a severely career-limiting move, but i am as sharp as ever, and very good at what i do.

i know the industry cannot stay this way, but if you want to toss my CV over to HR, it would help a lot in the meanwhile.
