So I found a tactic that's working in my YouTube comments- thought I'd share.

If someone complains that a software I recommended is "woke", I ask them "what does that mean? Can you say more about that?"

They never say more. They delete their comment instead.

My tactic is to make them say what they mean. They won't.

Because they're cowards.

I wonder if 200 years from now when they uncover the digital wreckage of 2025 if they’ll find the Mariah Carey memes and assume that she was a dread harbinger worshiped by cults of that age.

Okay actually after writing that down I’m not entirely convinced that this isn’t an accurate representation.

As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead."

But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that"

Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

On the Digital Domain Tonight, Kirk and Curt? Huh? It's all from @nick's stupid head.

Also, Bob's got a challenge for @AlexSpectrum93, an AI artist making more waves than probably should, and a possible song dedication to Bob.

In the decades-long process of getting my fvwm config JUST RIGHT, my xterm right-click menu now has a "duplicate" command, which opens a new xterm with the same geometry, on the same node, IN THE SAME DIRECTORY. (Directory info aquired via /proc.)

(I expect I'll still be tweaking this when Wayland is but a bad memory and everyone is switching to The New Big Thing.)

We have released 1.0 of the #CHERIoT specification! The architecture has been unchanged for almost a year and has been implemented in two open-source cores. We (SCI) are getting back our first CHERIoT silicon from the fab soon and will be moving to mass production net year (I can't talk about what other people are doing with CHERIoT).
