Europe has plenty of problems, most important of all is Ukraine. Yet they have to deal with whatever shit those senile idiots and spoiled children in Washington have unleashed month after month.

British public transport being what it is, it was valid currency when the passenger started their journey

Zuckerberg is a clueless dipshit who won the lottery early in life and is desperate to repeat his lottery win to prove he's a genius and not just lucky and so far the evidence is not in his favour

AI boosters: "AI will create new jobs!" The jobs:

Europe - too slowly - learning 3 lessons: don't rely on Americans for defence, don't rely on the Chinese for cheap goods, and don't rely on the Middle East or Russia for oil and gas

Sick tool for finding alternatives. There are many missing options here though like @infomaniak.bsky.social for example. You can add them with a PR it seems. github.com/pixelunioneu... europick.eu

God beginning to really despise the AI boosters and grifters. Even worse than the crypto bros with their concern trolling. Blocking them on sight now.

1. No, AI isn't conscious 2.. If you say it is, you are either a) a dipshit or b) a grifter.

any @nuxt.com devs interested?

Switching from Claude to one of those "free" models cause I hit some limit is like going from the Beyond to the Slow Zone in Vinge's Fire Upon the Deep

LLM makers makers do not want you to be able to understand. It's about turning the means of understanding and sensemaking into externalized products to rent.

"Someone copied my prompts" is this year's "all my monkeys are gone"

🚨IMPORTANT🚨 Ce n'est pas évident, mais plus les jours passent plus je suis en situation critique. Je suis Freelance, j'ai 10 ans d'XP en Unity, C#, Web, SQL... et je travaille à distance. + je donne des cours au particulier/en groupe (MP) M'embaucher pour tout projet repousse l'échéance. Merci ❤️

RIP JG Ballard you would have loved the scenes in Dubai right now

So Blue Labour are nationalists and socialists 🤔

Given they are from Canada, I'd call it "Our Fiends in the North"

When you become Home Secretary they put you through a brainwashing session like Alex in Clockwork Orange or Warren Beatty in the Parallax View with lots of footage of Hitler rallies and Stuka dive bombers etc, the next day you are spouting anti-immigration rhetoric even if you were lefty before

Why is a UK base getting hit in the Iran-US-Israel war ask people who catch strays in their huge blocklists

We should have never legitimized gambling or outsourced our thinking.

Bit of an insult to the Bond villain of the same name who was an eco terrorist

Americans are happy to see their own children massacred by AR-15s in their schools, their culture does not value the lives of children, let alone children in far away foreign countries

The BigPickle "free" model is probably the most useless out of all I've tried. Only use it if you want to completely wreak your project.

Can I copy Reddit? Yes. That's been possible more or less for 20 years. But my Reddit-Clone will have maybe 3 users. What would be the point?

Did he shave his head or just pull his hair through his empty skull to form a beard

That's weird because dual nationals living outside the UK have had the pleasure of finding all this out the other week

If these people had the slightest self-awareness they'd realise that modest social democracy and a slight tax hike is the best long-term outcome for them as a class.

6/6 The entire ethic this movement adopted in 2015--targeted harassment, intimidation, bullying, and threatening of people they viewed as targets--does not work over here. For people like me, that makes it great. I can hang out and have fun conversations here. For them, it makes the site pointless.

pdsmoover.com hit over 1k accounts backed up today 🥳. To celebrate, here are some other fun facts - eurosky has the most accounts signed up at 239 (all in 23 days!), blacksky at 99, selfhosted at 57, and npmx.social at 28 - enoki.us-east.host.bsky.network has the most of the bsky mushrooms at 7

The reason their message works is because their voting base consists of the terminally stupid

cant.stop.laughing

No honour among thieves

"Just run your LLM locally"

The plot of A View to a Kill has Bond trying to stop Christopher Walken from destroying Silicon Valley and let me just say HOLD UP JAMES LET THE MAN COOK

I really need people who think AI could usher in a golden age of luxury space communism some day to get that the only thing keeping elites from trying to kill all of us is the fact they need our labor and if that ever goes away stuff's gonna go sideways fast

King Charles: I don't want anything to happen to him while my mother's alive.

In this sense, the United States is a deeply regressive country compared to the rest of the democratic world, including Britain. They still believe in the divine right of their President-Kings.

PSA: If you block the `claude` user on GitHub, you'll get a warning every time you view a repo with that user in its commit history. This allows you to, the moment you look at a repo, immediately adjust your expectations. You may do so here: https://github.com/settings/blocked_users

now we're being asked to sacrifice our PCs, laptops, and smart phones for the fringe use-cases for AI. fuck this.

My team at Unsplash are searching for a new lead front-end engineer. I'd love to help them find the right person. If that sounds interesting to you, send me a DM!

👋 my recent contracts have ended (and my buffer’s running a bit thin) so I’m looking for what’s next spent the last year focused on OSS work, which I’ve loved, and now open to new opportunities! if you’re looking for a dev, pls to reach out! I've shared more about how I work below 🫡

Ducks of course have their own planet in the George Lucas extended universe

Yes of course you can have open models. No you can't have anything to run them on.

And yet, utter credulous dipshits tell us how "empowering" these tools are

Personally I don't think people should go near LLMs except for work stuff, and even then stick to focused topics you need to get the job done. They should come with a government health warning, like operating heavy machinery.

LLMs are C-suite simulators. You get the sycophancy and obedience but not the real power or money

Just .... don't spend on US kit the UK needs US permissions to use. Seem to remember last announcement was all about US purchases. Buy European. Buy open source. Replace american software

The tech bros grew up watching cool scifi with androids and spaceships and we got to the 21st century and it didn't happen and now they're just trying to fake it till they make it

Funny how it's always "30% of Reform voters want some awful thing" and not "a huge majority of British people don't want this awful thing".
