@freya yeah... we almost never post despair-adjacent things in public because we don't want it to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. hope is necessary, no matter how irrational it is. all the acceptable futures require having hope as part of how we get there.

but we figured we aren't the only ones who are really tired, and pretending otherwise is doing everyone a disservice

so it was worth trying to thread the needle and look for a way to reconcile those two things, this time

Can smarter #WebDev people explain why this page is so, so, so, slow on iOS, even with JavaScript disabled? I rarely encounter this on other websites. When I visit this page on iOS running VoiceOver, VoiceOver is extremely sluggish, to the point where it takes almost 30 seconds for a navigational swipe to register. I have no other tabs or no other apps open. https://audiodrama.directory/tag/narrated/

@timorl @cwebber I have heard every now and then about people taking up new hobbies based on exposure in DDA and it makes me super happy.

There's a perennial complaint that, "basing most things on how they work IRL is so restrictive" and I'm like, "what? The way things work IRL is so cool though!".

I've always had a fascination with how things work, how things are made etc and it's been a huge influence on how DDA does things to showcase that.

The founder and three senior team members of Zulip are joining Anthropic:
Tim Abbott, Alya Abbott, Greg Price, and Alex Vandiver

And they are "donating the company" to a new non-profit #Zulip Foundation:
with the first three above as the board (plus Josh Triplett) and "Interim President" Kim Vandiver (notice the same last name as the other person who's joining Anthropic)

Oh my ⊥, this is Fedi, of course the creator of CDDA responded. xd

Thanks a lot for the game, and for telling me that I’m not the only one whom it had this effect on. :blobfoxheartcute:

Bleh, looks like the main big selfhostable password managers are tainted.

• Bitwarden uses Claude
• Vaultwarden uses Claude
• KeepassXC uses Copilot

ChiPass (taintless KeepassXC) exists I guess.

Doesn't help that sync usually sucks too. I'll just keep using what I'm already using.

No wonder I'm so cranky all the time...

I need to ruminate on this some more, but I think fundamentally I am opposed to technology or its use that devalues, interferes with, or attempts to capture humans, our cultures, our relationships, and the earth and its interconnected ecosystems we all depend on for life.

The domains in which a programming language is popular influences the ecosystem. I'm deeply grateful to Jarred and Anthropic for giving Zig communities a chance to reroll for something other than LLMs. Hoping for better than a nat 1 next time

Safari on my iPhone has become unusably laggy after v26. Especially keyboard entry. It also regularly goes all turbo on the CPU heating up the phone. It’s the only app that does this.

Officials hugely underestimated impact of AI datacenters on UK carbon emissions

Oops, looks like they only projected the carbon emission rate at 1% of what it would actually be

Yesterday I saw an Incel Camino with a giant ad for a chiropractor on the side.

At first this confused me, because I thought chiropractors were all crystals-and-qi hippies.

But I guess now they're probably all qanon maha antivaxxers too, so in hindsight, this tracks.

@rauschma anyone with enough brain spiciness to a) use mastodon, and b) voluntarily follow me has a pretty high chance of also being into trains, sooo I'm not even sure how small that group of people really is.

i'd wager I could photoshop some eyelashes onto the front of this BR407, post it with "UwU" as the caption, and make half of my followers very very happy.

... and the other half will be happy if I respond meow to their replies.

A few days ago I took one of those "can you tell the human writing from the AI" quizzes and turns out I'm no better than guessing.

Now I look at all my (human) writing and everything feels AI and I don't know if they're related but it sure feels like they are
