My Suica has been vandalised!

It transpires this has a leuco rewritable coating, so special products (like this 1 day season) are literally lasered onto the front (including a map!) and overwritten/removed once used.

Extremely extra but very cool. I've never seen one of these in the wild before.

The world has moved beyond a water crisis and into a state of global water bankruptcy, according to a 2026 UN report.

Direct water use by US data centers alone more than tripled to ~17.5 billion gallons between 2014 and 2023, and may double again by 2028.

All for growth

All for the greed of the tech bros

We need to resist this death dance of the high priests of the Growth Death Cult.

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

Perhaps the start of a new project to collate various sysadmin resources into one thing with zero slop.

For now I'm running it on my local machine and dumping the information I know

"The "Great British People" Facebook page, which purports to be from Yorkshire, has had 1.3 million views for its latest video of an elderly white British man crying about his pension. Other videos show reporters discussing "the overwhelming scale of mass #immigration" and asking viewers if they miss "the Britain we used to know". But it is not clear whether the creator knows the UK at all: the account is really run by someone based in Sri Lanka."

"But in fact, much of what’s prevented the widespread automation of cars and trucks and the elimination of driving jobs is the technology itself: it simply cannot do what these engineers promised it could."

Watters doing what so few journalists do these days, putting things in context by remembering what happened previously.

It uses MLS to implement encrypted messaging over ActivityPub. Bonfire and Emissary have working implementations, and Mastodon will implement it later this year.

@aredridel I think of them as two stroke mopeds… there are externalities to using them.

I look forward to locally run models that were trained ethically.

Then I’ll buy the e-bike analogy.

the only way to build high quality software is to understand it. this means planning, this means thinking through the design, this means thinking as you write every line of code.

if you think the vibe cod is doing that for you, i have a bridge to sell you.

@brib Yeah, that's it exactly.

furthermore, i've spent more than a week going out of my way trying to get the silly thing to do the silly thing and i'm not remotely impressed, probably because i have standards.

there are fundamental issues that won't magically go away because you throw in a better model.

more to the point, have you noticed uptimes since slop coding became a widespread thing? or the hilarious security bugs it introduces? if the proof is in the pudding, there is plenty of pudding to conclude that it's terrible

@baldur

Sitting in on a talk on autism diagnoses, one of a series of scientific talks, watching an animation they used as a diagnostic aid, hearing everybody around me laugh as if the shapes on the screen made sense, only then truly understanding myself, and feeling more alone than I have ever felt before or since.

As an aside, I love this sentence; it really captures the feeling of being autistic (which, I assume, is the implication of this 😁 )

i think some of you are lacking a little perspective.

consider firstly that people advocating pushback against slop machines haven't gone and ruined FLOSS the way slop advocates have. you know, with the power of hypercapitalism with them, as opposed to the people who will be left to clean up the mess with their.*checks notes*labour.

and it's not just FLOSS is it? it's news sites, it's search engines, it's the fucking web. ruining all the things that were *ours*in pursuit of the long con.

so if you were thinking of bothsidesing me about this, i'd suggest:

a) keeping your mouth shut, actually.
b) opening your eyes.

T is one of the greatest mentors of my entire life. I could never repay him. The first time I called him, out of the blue after 20 years, he burst into tears. "You've come back to me!"

For thirty years *I* have maintained an open house where adolescents were welcome, 24/7/365.

T taught me how to do that, and why.
