fwiw, there's a telling detail about ptaček's attitude to people who he doesn't see as his equals or peers: today is a second day in a row when he's not able to use proper pronouns with regard to hazel weakly (who dared to criticise his article), despite being corrected by more than one person.

it's either malice, or the principal engineer at fly dot io is not able to remember a single fact despite being informed about it three times.

he's not a bad programmer, which is part of the problem here.

it's a bloody biweekly caliper gentlemen's club meeting in the replies there

“don't imitate other people's accents, it's rude”. less than 10 words.

i would swear that in an earlier version of this message the optimal batch size was estimated to be as large as twenty.

maybe try to learn from the past

:-)

oh, typical techdirt eu-bashing, this time again because we have regulations.

(i wouldn't be surprised if they're conflating regulations with panic on purpose and packing valid criticism of llms and image plagiarism generators with the ridiculous tescreal screeds just to discredit the former; masnick's primary stance was always extreme tech libertarianism and american exceptionalism, and the whole publication follows this)

one day i'll finally catch a lobste permaban thanks to your links :-)

I liked ptaček better when he still knew he doesn't know everything.

i bet that bluesky worked with them to get their company and all their personal accounts established at bluesky as the primary social media channel.

i don't expect they will get anything more than a slap on the wrists, if at all.

the aggrieved attitude of “but i am a socialist” is really adorable.

(it's programming dot dev again, isn't it?)

the problem is that you post things here, though i guess that by the time i'm commenting it has been alleviated.

oh dear, how sad, nevermind.

precisely my point.

stalinists, like pigeons, are gonna shit over every place where they congregate. it is a pity that they have half the brain and quarter of the cuteness of the pigeons though.

there's this lovely nostalgic thread by the very dude working for baikal, and you can play the game “spot the serb in the thread without looking at the names”.
