Some timely words by Commander William Adama #BSG

«The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization which hosts and develops Wikipedia, has paused an experiment that showed users AI-generated summaries at the top of articles after an overwhelmingly negative reaction from the Wikipedia editors community.» It's nice to see places where […]

Da tiempo a comer.

In 9 days new bills arrive for the servers, media storage and emails send At this moment I am still a massive 660 euros short for this month (estimate) and that worries me a loot.. 😟 If you can and would like to help me out in paying these bills you can so via: https://paypal.me/stuxOS […]

This post is as true today as the day it was tweeted.

The U.S. government is taking people off the street and sending them to the place in the bottom picture without charges filed, no arraignments, no due process and without notifying anyone of the people’s whereabouts. El Salvador intends to never release anyone from CECOT. #HumanRights #USpol

Alas, my dev cred is shot. 1300+ moves and basically an hour to solve towers of Hanoi with 8 rings and 3 pegs. Call that spite-driven engineering. https://towersofhanoi.info/Play.aspx

I’m unreasonably fucking pissed. An r/me_irlgbt moderator banned me, and is now accusing me of being an A.I. … … … because I use fucking emdashes and ellipses. #typography #AI #nightmaretimeline

This one doesn’t keep the doctor away.

We are cooked.

Reminder that if you like a website you should probably click on the "contact" link and tell the author you like their website 🐰 Oh I bet they get lots of email every day saying their website is cool, I'd just annoy them 🦝 Nope. I have a donations button and I'm not exaggerating when I say it […]

72 years later, this image still seems to resonate. 'In America - At This Restaurant Only One Person Is Served' (Krokodil # 4, 1953) by Yuliy Ganf. The solider at the table being well fed is labeled “war” and the neglected tables are labeled 'Education' […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Consumer networking devices come in two varieties: Altar to a Dark God and Aromatherapy Machine.

Really enjoyed David Gerard's amusing take on how programming with AI becomes like a gambling addiction for many. "Large language models work the same way as a carnival psychic. Chatbots look smart by the Barnum Effect — which is where you read what’s actually a generic statement about people […]

If a seven-year-old can’t walk to the store the fault lies not with the parents but with the community.

Now for a real test: leaving #tuba open on the federated tab for hours to see how it handles memory allocation and persistence to disk.

And #tokodon is definitely laggier (installed from Debian testing repos, so maybe it's a bad build). But otherwise appears similar to #tuba.

In our countdown to the new Mario Kart, here is the next entry in the series: The review for Mario Kart 64 on Nintendo 64 from Total 64 No.5 Volume 1 Issue 5 - June 1997 (UK) This issue can be found here: https://www.outofprintarchive.com/catalogue/Total64.html […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

The supplement to Nintendo Official Magazine 65 - February 1998 (UK) has just been scanned and added back into the magazine. This is a 32-page Duke Nukem 3D survival guide. So if you have an older version of this issue, go to the NOM catalogue page and […] [Original post on retro.pizza]

Test post from #tuba, a #gtk #gtk4 #mastodon client.

The only reason that "at least capitalism is a system that works," my dear chucklefuck, is because of institutionalized slavery, and the reason that wealthy elites shit their sassy little britches when we talk about fair wages and humane treatment is because they know this, have always known […]

The RFC Editor requires I read NIST 8366 "Guidance for NIST Staff on Using Inclusive Language in Documentary Standards" as part of AUTH48 - basically the final review stage of an RFC. Unfortunately NIST tells me "this paper has been withdrawn to comply with executive order (E.O.) 14151" - […]
