I’ve been privy to the weeks of research and experimentation that culminated in @benschwarz’s map implementation.

not only it’s so much better than many janky, JavaScript based maps I was forced to use in the past, I also wish more people cared about details as much as this does ♥️

With Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it!

Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time

leave that s*** hole, set up a website where they can micro blog to their hearts content and I can follow them by RSS in peace. Now I'm forced to wade through s***, AI slop, deluded lies and read deluded, crazy, racist comments. Most of whom are probably feom teenagers in basements who can't find Iran on a map, or who are bots.

Oh my god, OpenAI reinvented Recall, but for macOS.

"Chronicle" is an opt-in feature that scans your screen, saves screenshots temporarily, and sent to OpenAI's servers.

@zkat I’ve said for years that the advent of Trumpism had only one (very small) positive: it encouraged lots of seemingly-caring people to reveal what they actually thought about immigrants / gays / trans folk / etc so we wouldn’t have to work so hard to suss out their real personalities. Apparently AI is providing a similar “service.”

we really had a thing going for a while there. Glorious years with some amazing community and conferences that centered our human relationships to one another and how they could be better.

And all it took to kill it all was a lying machine that sucks your metaphorical ego-dick and spits out worse code than someone who just graduated college.

The thing that kills me about all this is that after years of building up kind/human/caring community around me, ppl I appreciated because of those traits suddenly drop all semblance of caring about them because.... they have the perception of coding a bit better/faster. That's all it took.

I'll say it straight: you can't voluntarily and willingly use LLMs in a way that's aligned with respect for marginalized folks, with respect for the environment, with respect for labor issues and rights, with respect for art, and with respect for the community aspects of things like open source.

It is simply impossible. Pretending you can is the deepest form of cognitive dissonance and I'm just beyond disturbed to see it happening all around me.

I've already unfollowed so many folks I once respected, blocked some others, and just generally withdrawn from a community that used to be so personally fulfilling to be a part of. It's really sad.

"Trump has never released his tax returns despite pledging to do so. He's claimed for the last 10 years that he and the GOP have been developing a healthcare plan only to default to having "a concept of a plan" when pressed about this during a 2024 debate. He has also promised Americans they will receive "tariff dividends"—and there is no sign of any of that happening.

He has never lowered energy costs or grocery prices like he said he would. He has not released the Epstein files in full despite campaigning on that promise and has done everything he can to distance himself from the scandal despite the fact his own name appears in the files more than 38,000 times.

Trump has said Mexico would pay for his "big beautiful wall" along the southern border (which has never happened). He pledged to end the war in Ukraine (which is still raging) and in fact promised not to lead Americans into more foreign "entanglements"—yet the administration orchestrated a regime change in Venezuela and attacked Iran just weeks later, kicking off a global energy crisis."
