fundamental misconnect as my ttrpg group doesn't know what puella magi madoka magica is

Comme je l’avais écrit ici même des p* de nazis au cœur de la 2e GM appliquaient en partie le droit maritime et n’assassinaient pas les survivants dans l’eau. L’abîme moral du trumpisme est sans fond, et j’espère qu’une partie de ces gens répondront de leurs crimes. bsky.app/profile/andr...

What a great headline

what the fuck is wrong with this guy in *opening remarks*????

fun fact one of the performance standards that dishwashers are held to (i'm told) is "cleans well when stacked randomly" it's not "cannot stack a dishwasher" it's "complying with manufacturer's design" (/hj)

lmao all the labour party insiders in past months were like, you gotta wait, we haven't announced policy, we haven't had our general meeting, give us a chance, you can't judge us for saying nothing well now we can fucking spineless

a small but significant amount of the national budget is funded by the fines collected from this policy, but revenues have dropped recently due to budget cuts at DIA lowering enforcement. This is why the government is refusing to pay Health sector workers properly, there is no tomato money.

Am new zealander, can confirm

oh my glob, SO many things break if you chmod 755 /dev/null

Wow this font is hard to read

imagine if we had incentivised solar panels so that turning on the heat pump during the day would be approximately free

do schools like... teach students how ai/llms work? like not the deep maths but i feel like you could have a pretty high level view that would dispel 90% of misconceptions i see online at a level comparable to most Y10 science lessons aware that's not exactly how misconceptions work but

Gotta say, it's impressive how Node.js performs while having a stone-age fetch() implementation

(my suspicion is that writing useless documentation and "summation" is really cheap — see every basic AI use doing it — and that code and such is a bit more expensive, but AI pricing is per-token without differentiation...

So, this repo, right? github.com/paiml/depyler

this could be us

I replaced my phone's notification sounds with dwarf fortress samples and it's so much better tbh.

Love when a Monday is going "What the fuck it this" at increasing frequency for five hours straight

At the end of Dune 2 there's a statement that none of the entities in the credits have received any money from tobacco, which I thought was interesting. But unfortunately, it also lists the new zealand government, so that isn't quite true

Went to the pharmacy earlier and spotted the five different kinds of boyfriends

There's nothing quite like going to the hardware store for revitalising a project

fell out of uni into a tech job, fell out of tech to study architecture, kept reaching for code to fix the terrible tooling, lucked into an internship at an engineering place that didn't have any space for an architect/draughtperson, but did have a newish softeng team... and i fell back into tech

Reddit is unbeaten for drive-by murders of unsuspecting posters

Caught a snail in flagrante frenching a raddish and i am pissed

It's cargo clean day! Removed 236777 files, 115.1GiB total 😅

Serious TM industry: ugh why are there so many rust libraries at 0.x, it makes it hard to justify using because everything is so immature me, happily publishing unstable software at 1.0.0: version numbers are fake, have fun ;3

I like warm climes but this is a bit much

bjring back s/y/z/ into the mainstream instead of * sometimes people make a *correction and the original is so garbled it's hard to figure out where the thing fits in also gotta bfring the evils of regex to more people

this is an extremely stupid 6am thought but it's funny how wet everything still is when you have dehydration like the human body is like mostly water and dehydration is really like when you lose like a percent of that so it's understandable. but my brain still stupidly expects it to mean... dry

decided to stop procrastinating and start doing what i really want: play dwarf fortress

it turns out most humans are dumb and lazy, so AIs tend to be really dumb and really lazy

WHY would the input quantity be KG??? Who is insane enough to order multiple kilos of cashews from cuntdown

Australia does have a lot of dirt

fun fact in new zealand if you live with someone for three years you're considered de facto married except it's not called marriage there's no application and no fee. it just happens.

vacuum formers <> card collectors "ohhh that was a good pull"

One of my past jobs was a "multi million dollar business". What that generally means is you have 5-10 million in gross revenue. The profit margin was on the order of 3%. 300k profit per year. That's a business that does modestly well. Can afford to redo the office once a decade.

harshness of blocks scale: 1. twitter etc — cheap and plentiful 2. bluesky — erases the entire interaction for everyone 3. phone number — scammers and bad exes 4. discord — i'm willing to compromise my own UX to not see your stupid face

basically the argument for ai being alive

Finally with AI we have invented a way to productively poop on company time.

at some point someone at systemd should make their own initrd generator so everyone can stop fumbling in the dark

mildly terrifying that you can see shockwave fronts on the surface of the sun

X: why doesn't this work? dracut dev: you need to add the "force" option X: ...it worked, but why d: nobody knows. someone did it that way a long time ago and never wrote down why. THEN FIX IT GODDAMN FUCKERS

6. Cherry-picking while communicating to leave out context. In conclusion: they're incompetent, seemingly despise their own users, do not care about any context and are willing to be deceptive about moderation decisions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bluesky has succeeded in doing the worst possible thing at every step: 1. Being a month late on moderation 2. Misunderstanding a post completely 3. Putting draconian measures on the author and the community (making posts inaccessible) 4. Not communicating 5. Eventually communicating with wrong info

man, tailscale services are very exciting, if only they worked

it is altogether too early to be up and i've had much too little sleep

The session on the Enigma machine at #KawaiiCon was awesome.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

day 2: same but with my bobafet tshirt. mostly watching from the upper section at gate 25 today

god I hate to rain on peoples' parades but NZF haven't withdrawn their horrible transphobic bill -- the MP who proposed it (Jenny Marcroft) withdrew it but then a different NZF MP (David Wilson) immediately proposed an identical bill bills.parliament.nz/v/1/53b62068...
