also moskovitz is a bloody ai cultist, proselytising to anyone near at bluesky

you're either not understanding or misrepresenting valente's points in order to make yours: that we can't have nice things and shouldn't either want or expect them, because it's unreasonable. nothing can change, nothing good can be had, nothing good can be achieved. hence: nihilism.

an ex-crypto-and-nft-promoter, now confabulation machine promoter feels that the confabulation machine hate reached unreasonable levels. thread of replies is full of persecuted confabulation machine promoters realists.

terrible state of house CO detectors is not an excuse for putting a CO generator in the living room.

if you have a point, make it. nihilism is cheap.

again, my point here is that cegłowski is an unreliable narrator; you should not build an opinion based on his anecdotes (or his transphobia).

he's also a self-important arse, which is kinda problematic when one tries to do organising. (one of the very important part is that doing the union work is not a social club, and you may need to work with and accommodate people whom you personally very much dislike.)

maciej cegłowski is also a self-serving arse, so i'd take anything he says with a large grain of salt.

enter hashimoto. cringe intensifies

all things aside, is current ghostty any good, or still an audiophile consolephile-ware?

i'm generally reluctant to try something which reeks of intensive self-promotion, but few months ago i decided to finally see what's the hype about, and, well, it's a terminal emulator.

wezterm does much more, and with a much cleaner ui, and it's programmable, and the author doesn't remind me that hashicorp is a thing that exists.

(as the ~fuken-mupet said to me in a conversation about ~absolt-toole's reimplementation of poon in the self-hosted thun, the unlimited poop is an exciting feature of the new pooke64 release.)

i remain very happy seeing that they won't be able to leave the subculture of weird nazi functional language nerds with no social acumen.

what i actually want to see in space are billionaires doing extended evas. not necessarily suited up, too.

i hereby propose a new metric for a popular publication, the epstein number (Ē), denoting the number of authors who took flights to epstein's rape island. generally, credible publications should have Ē=0. this one, after a very quick look, has Ē=2, and also hosts sabine hossenfelder.

github produced their annual insights into the state of open source and public software projects barrel of marketing slop, and it's as self-congratulatory as unreadable and completely opaque.

relevant: a firefox extension for the steam shop pages that highlights the use of generative ai.

it's good.

such words never stopped dr. roy before.

for what it's worth schestowitzes don't seem to understand that they lost a defamation case and should stop digging.

also, jesus, rot13? what are they, children lost in the usenet?
