time to piss people off with this meme again

meme titled "the enlightened centrist" featuring a guy shrugging with a goofy smile. blocks of text all around him say: I'm not left or right I'm a secret third thing (right) I respect all political viewpoints. It's just a coincidence I only happen to show support for the right wing ones. both sides are equally bad. I think anti-fascism is the same as fascism and should be treated exactly the same, which says a lot about what I really believe if you think about it. you see it's all about striking a balance between criticizing the left and defending the right. I'm above all that partisan fighting. basically I found a way to feel superior to both sides without taking any principled positions. I stand for absolutely nothing LMAO.

Tab is too large to slide down evenly, and the second bolt gets stuck on the back end, so I either need to make it thinner or create a notch so both bolts can make contact with the pole.

Photograph of my 3d printed wedge resting diagonally in the bottom of the Starlink pole mount adapter because the shape doesn’t match exactly.

The conclusion of a century-long quest 😲

Our VLT obtained firm evidence that Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the Orion constellation and one of the most famous stars in the night sky, is not alone!

A collage of various astronomical images. The background image shows a wide view of a starry night sky, with blue lines connecting the stars of the Orion constellation. An inset image zooms into the star Betelgeuse, showing its orange surface. A second inset shows a bright companion next to the star.

Look folks the genie is out of the bottle. The genie went from $20/mo to $200/mo. The genie is spending $8 for every dollar it makes. The genie is reactivating every coal power plant it can.

addendum:

We additionally request that you don't use littlegem with LLMs at all. There are plenty of cool sounding languages out there that will welcome you and your slightly creepy ethereal friend, go use one of those instead. We don't want yet another small community split because LLM bros don't understand consent or the meaning of the word 'no', so kindly do not.

we have an LLM policy now

This project is written by humans for humans. We care deeply about the craft of programming and we don't want to see it eroded by shitty planet burning slop machines and the greed of fascist techbros, quite aside from all of the other well documented problems with LLMs.

LLM contributions of any sort are forbidden. We are not interested in discussing this, if you can't
be bothered to write it yourself, we can't be bothered to read it, and if you care so little about
the craft of programming you'd take part in its destruction, we don't want your contribution.

Ok, I was fully prepared for this to be completely made up...and yet... it is true.

Fritz #Zwicky really did coin the phrases "dark matter" and "spherical bastards". What a froopy dude!

#physics #language #semantics #sphericalbastards #darkmatter #astrophysics

Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term "dark matter" which is impressive, but he also coined the term "spherical bastard" to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and | think that should be celebrated more.

Hi, I'm brib. I'm a soon-to-be graduate student who's going to study the intersection between science, technology and society.

I have #AuDHD which makes social interaction and focusing challenging. It also means I have a thousand different hobbies.

So you might end up seeing me:

  • Vent about LLMs
  • Post game demos (I used to make games as a child, dropped out of the hobby, and am starting to make games again!)
  • Post music samples
  • Talk about birds
  • Reblog cool art (and birds)
  • Post embroidery project progress.
  • Post art (whenever I get around to making it)
  • Answer tech-related questions from around the Fediverse

I have a blog https://theweeklymiscellaneous.co.uk which I occasionally post to (although definitely not weekly, I am far out of the habit for that :neocat_laugh_sweat:​).

By the way, did you know birds are dinosaurs?? Which I suppose makes me a dino autistic.

I'm always eager to chat about my interests so please reach out if we seem to vibe, and if you ever have a question about tech, please also reach out, I might be able to answer it 😁 .

writing up design docs:

More than anything, DTs will shape the design of littlegem. They are an incredibly powerful feature and the 'big hammer' nature of them means we can solve a lot of problems with just this one weird trick. On the other hand, they are well known to be quite complicated to implement, to produce abysmal error messages and generally to scare the shit out of the general programming population for unclear reasons.

Yo, I'm heading up a brand-new community project. 👥

We write code by hand. 🤚🏽⌨️

It's a growing opt-in directory of software developers who write code by hand. When you hear someone tell you “nobody does that” you can point to this and say “well these folks do.”

If you're #ProCraft and care about the future of handcrafted software, please add yourself to the list! I'd love to see this grow to 100s of signatories (I know y'all are out there!) and really send a message.

https://handcraftedcode.org

A page style layout with the following: We write code by hand. We use Natural Intelligence to build software libraries and applications in production today. Some of them you may be using right now. There are people who say "nobody authors code by hand any longer." We are here to say that's incorrect. Because we do it. All the time. If you write code by hand, add your name to this list!
