Flabbers are a bit gasted here. The last time I was professionally fitted for running shoes I was a men’s US 11 ex-wide. Now I’m comfortable in woman’s 10.5. Still had to go with a wide variant and add arch support though because my feet are so dang tall.

New https://worm-blossom.org update where @gwil writes:

> Sneakerweb was very much at the heart of worm-blossom’s presence at DWeb camp this year. We had a table at the ‘demo night market’, in which we had to beckon passers-by with nothing but our charms. The only problem: our neighbour was the inimitable Christine Lemmer-Webber of the Spritely Institute, who not only had prepared an incredible multi-screen, multimedia experience, but also has the overpowering voice of a lady who sells onions at the market.

Sorrryyyyyyyyyyy

I talk to people at EMFCamp and I feel like my faith in tech is restored and then I (out of habit) visit the orange site and it's all LLM bullshit. (Yes, not a great idea, but it shows just how big the gap is.....)

It's a breath of fresh air, though, that there really isn't that much LLM bullshit at EMFCamp.

I should really join a makerspace.

Have you heard this one: The Czech transport minister takes the train from Prague to Munich for a meeting about improvements to the train service between Prague and Munich.

His train is first held up for an hour at the border in Furth and then gets cancelled altogether in Regensburg. He had planned with a two hour buffer but that wasn’t enough for the suggested detour via Nuremberg, so asks the Bavarians to send a car.

Summer is the worst season for animals. As the holidays get closer, shelters fill with pets left behind.

My cat and dog came from there. Haru (the cat) waited two years in a shelter, and our dog (Tanos) is one a relative could no longer keep. A black cat and a malinois, now sharing the same stairs.

Out of conviction, I built https://pawfed.org/how-it-works, a service working with #ActivityPub and #OSM.

It is not the perfect solution, but if you can help your local shelter, please do.

DHH is a racist piece of shit and everyone supporting his shit by buying stuff from his company, inviting him to talks, using or promoting his garbage "distribution" (looking at you @frameworkcomputer ) is compliant and a morally bankrupt human being.

Used to be if you had a question, you could Google it to find out if someone else had already answered it instead of asking people to repeat that work.

Trouble is, when I have a question, I do want it answered by a person and Google has made that a lot harder.

The extra trouble is, for marginalised people, making us answer the same questions over and over again, reduplicating our labour, is a vector of harassment while trying to maintain a facade of being 'reasonable.' But thanks to Google shitting itself in public, it's harder for us to respond by saying, "Check if I've answered that before."

“AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making — Ludicity”

https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-global-decision-making/

I'm linking to this because it's an insight into the foolishness that dominates tech. The text itself is filled with internal contradictions (look at all these people doing variations on exactly what my company is doing) and smacks of cognitive dissonance ("we can sidestep arguments about the precise utility of LLMs entirely" in a post entirely about the uselessness of the tech).

> Generation is not the slow part of coding. Theory-building and review are. And plausible-enough things are extremely hard to debug and understand. But the machines are so fast at producing things. If you are going to review their work, you aren't really taking advantage of their most powerful property, which is speed. But theory-building and review are also the programmer's most important role.

this is fine, when would a programmer ever type the equals character or perform addition?

good news: the letter 'k' is working again.

bad news: equals and plus are not.
