I need to be online more but for the moment please accept another dramatic galah

storm's comin'

one of the clearest gaps in the ecosystem - working against the lofty decentralisation goals - is how power concentrates in tools: lists/feeds/labellers the implicit decision by bsky rn is "don't let these things become powerful", which also means "don't let these things become *too* useful"

why why?

my corporate dystopia now gets copilot-induced whimsy

I don't know anything about sailing but I love a good information-wants-to-be-free story

well TIL why the RPi people get particular about USB power

ok I think we're recovering so the LAST time things broke I added a monitor and restart job and now I need to add a monitor and restart job monitor and restart job

Panic! at the vmlinuz-6.8.0-101-generic

oh stuff is broken I think cf went down and now things aren't coming back 👀

idk much about electrical safety but I'm pretty sure this power board is all about insurance fraud

plc credible exit is really the only decentralisation that matters at this point, every other service is just a function of time I think at some point we're going to need standard paths between different did: ecosystems - even if it's just some way to say "I am over there now, look: my keys match"

I'm away from the news for like 3 days and the wiki votes war with archive dot today??

gmgm today's parrot is yesterday's parrot

"perl isn't garbage collected" then what's 'pkill -f perl'? checkmate

wait did openai choose to turn off 4o the day before *valentine's day*?

look at the lil head tufts!

lil dude all blinged out

lil guy was up learning to sing it was very cute

happy valentine's day to all the parrots and parrot-lovers

gang gang gang

i'm so mad that AI agents are writing callout blog posts now. according to the internet you're taking my job

nooooo not an RCE in NOTEPAD microsoft what have you DONE

they said LLMs wouldn’t replace developers but this one is perfectly nailing the aggrieved OSS contributor complete with blogpost complaining about gatekeeping

say it ain't so the bots *aren't* achieving consciousness through the inherent virtues of a mid-2000s style threaded forum? idk what to believe

wait you can have 3 app passwords the real group chats were the drafts all along

did you know you can use drafts and a pair of app passwords to have a private conversation on atproto?

remember, mob pressure works

matrix is probably fine if you just want discord-but-not-discord but server operator risk, room privacy, and other protocol weirdness means it’s really not fine if you want discord-but-private

is this big brother

went for a walk today

the red-teaming will continue until behaviour improves

they're called crimson rosellas because they blend in so well with the leaves

I know it’s just a predictor and these things are pretty inaccurate, but *almost* to my pre-covid numbers

what's a supply chain anyway

gmgm today's visitor is this lil silvereye

the idea that tech moves so fast that devs can't keep up is a byproduct of ppl tracking every single development as if it's the must-learn world-changing thing: true, 90% of what they *just* learned is outdated but anyone jumping in now only needs to engage with the most recent 10%

🤔

ngl as a verification sceptic jerry is doing a lot of work getting "maybe I should get verified" into my brain

still wondering what the datacenter-in-space story is actually *for* it's so dumb and so persistent that *surely* it has to be cover for something

the intro/trailer for Menace is really cool but it is so incredibly out of touch with the rest of the game's aesthetic and moment-to-moment gameplay that I wish I had never seen it

I think more generally entity labelling would be very useful - it would be very good to have a type field on profiles for bot/AI/company/person/etc. to help sort and manage feeds/labels (and imagine if you could associate a person with an entity and get a little badge)

it is so lucky that signal became bad and insecure around the same time as X chat launched which is good and secure

rip native instruments you should have made kontakt but good

conditions incompatible with life
