Many social networks have an artform. On Twitter, it was about brevity; and on Cohost, it was the CSS crime

And on Fedi, it’s composing the post with the most unhinged but accurate content warning.

i do think it's funny that any company that wants a huge influx of extremely good engineers could just say "we are not doing ai" on the careers site

> Bun was recently rewritten in Rust using Claude, and its development seems to have taken a turn towards being fully vibe-coded. This is alarming and disappointing for a number of reasons, and frankly it seems like a future headache that we'd prefer to avoid.

@passenger @robin Mechanically they haven't done anything to it. The rotted Google Search we've had for a decade is still right where it was behind udm=14 and probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

But in terms of perception and how people without the knowledge how to get to it use it, they may indeed have killed it.

It's unfair to call the Marvel movies "kid's movies", they also have serious political messages, such as:
- America is good
- the military is good
- military contractors are good
- billionaires are good
- heroes protect the existing power structure, villains try to change society

I was "bad" at math (turns out being disciplined for making mistakes isn't the best way to teach children things) and went hard into the humanities and arts. I thought that was the end of anything STEM I wanted to pursue.

Turns out I actually like building things while reading Foucault or whatever. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Truth in Posting: I was a sysadmin for a company in LA during "The Great Renaming". we relayed a fairly large chunk off the backbone over phone lines each day... think blinking modems running data not-so-fast across exchange boundaries only when line charges were cheap.

the reorg that was "The Great Renaming" had wonderful real-world effects, and sold me on the idea there area appropriate uses of hierarchy in networking.

#Holos 1.6.0 is available!

This release introduces desktop support with Electron on macOS and Linux. Syncs now use a sequenced bloom filter with WebSocket filtering that will avoid timeouts when starting the app.
The media viewer should be smoother, with instant thumbnails and a transition from the thumbnail position.

Full release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Holos-App/releases/tag/1.6.0

The days when my brain just randomly decides to work make every other day that much more frustraiting.

I did not change my meds, sleep, hydration, nutrition, or physical activity levels, and yet somehow I was allowed to focus on work instead of scrolling the infinite horrors machine and completed 3 sprints worth of work in about 2 days.

Why can’t I find a midpoint somewhere in between completely useless and god-mode?
