While my experience isn’t the same as this woman, I absolutely feel it. Everything is an uphill battle (and it’s worse if you’re multiply marginalized!) and every issue makes you feel like it is all your fault.

The tech industry has not made the kind of progress I had hoped when I started doing dei activism 15+ years ago.

Left the big pc running the native drive freebsd but from within Nixos since I was going to become a serial killer if I continued any longer dealing with setting up Bluetooth headphones, something that should be the simplest thing on earth in 2025 and finding no whcess and a thousand lines in multiple places none explaining what each thing does.

You need to do better regarding Bluetooth FreeBSD, A LOT better.

It's been around more than 25 years !!

Anyway moved onto accessing it via xrdp (KDE for that) so I can do other stuff on my laptop while vscode is compiled piece by piece for the next decade.

Ziemię pomierzył i głębokie morze,

Wie, jako wstają i zachodzą zorze;

Wiatrom rozumie, praktykuje komu,

A sam nie widzi, że ma kurwę w domu.

Sou uma pessoa que acredita piamente e trabalha muito com o conceito de custo-beneficio.

Assim sendo, bardamerda para a Inteligência Artificial.

Tanta coisa maravilhosa que se podia fazer com os recursos humanos, naturais e financeiros que estamos a gastar nessa majestosa trampa.

Prompted by both a tragic study on personality phrenology I saw today and by my current book revisions, I have a question

Where have you seen "individual" explanations given for software development outcomes when the REAL driver was group work?

E.g., heroes get the credit when the thing was really a team effort? Or people thinking your best skill is coding fast alone when really it's about collaboration? Any stories like that would be welcome as I chew on this

I had the displeasure of reading an article in the Harvard student paper by an economics major who said in apparent seriousness that comp sci majors are wasting time on theory classes like “Introduction to Algorithms and their Limitations” when they could be learning REAL skills like prompt engineering.

Algorithms are not useless theory, you unbalanced red-red tree. They’re the entire fucking point of the degree, you empty hash bucket. Go gamble daddy’s money on a startup your buddies thought up last night, you quadratic insert operation

Hledám právníka, právní radu, právní poradnu. Nějaké nápady, nebo někoho se zkušenostmi? Mám na mysli, že třeba doporučíte právníka s kterým máte pozitivní zkušenost. Mám toho k řešení víc.

(U nás na úřadě bezplatnou právní poradnu zrušili. Už je tam jen poradna ohledně sociálních problémů, a to mi nepomůže.)

Pokud možno poblíž Praze, nebo přímo v Praze.

Glad I don't use something as fragile as Github

Re: last boost (hachyderm.io/@jzb/115571712684…), about the voraciously greedy website scraping that LLM vendors do, maybe this will be the issue that gets me to give up all personal use of LLMs once and for all. I've said I would before, and I was too weak, and I gave in to the urge to use Claude again. Maybe this time.

Reading Fedora infrastructure update about yet more problems with AI scrapers. It's really disgusting the pain that these bots are inflicting on the rest of the Internet. I hope users of these tools are conscious of how the vendors are acquiring their data, and taking pains to avoid the vendors or projects that ignore robots.txt (and such) and go out of their way to avoid being blocked.

These parasites are *worse* than spammers; typically spam is a nuisance, but not something that causes so much damage. It is flat-out unethical what these companies are doing, and equally unethical to support them.

One of the things our community has asked for the most is the ability to browse AppleVis in their own language. And we’re really excited to finally say—it’s here! AppleVis now has live translation, and we couldn’t be happier to open the doors a little wider for people around the world.

We hope this makes it easier for anyone who’s wanted to explore AppleVis in their native language to feel right at home.

Today’s the day! Help us spread the word, and here’s to making the world feel a bit smaller and more connected so everyone in the low-vision and blind community can enjoy AppleVis and learn from each other.

🦀 It's not ready for an official announcement yet, but we're working on a small DB-backed worker queue in Rust.

github.com/mre/workers

It's a recurring ask from clients, and I couldn't find anything "production ready" out there.

It's built on top of crates.io's queue. We moved to sqlx (from diesel) as well.

Can we get some eyeballs on it? Feel free to comment here and/or create an issue. A retoot and a ⭐ would also help, of course... 😉

If you use an app that sends you push notifications, install the damn app, don't just rely on the browser and the web version. I know, dumb ugly Electron bloatware that adds itself to autostart, you should still do it. Speaking from painful personal experience here.

(yes, it's Microsoft Teams, of course it is).

Gemini3.0 Preview is out. Test it on Google AI Studio.
So far it has performed wonderfully in programming here. It understood almost 2800 lines of code and created working, performant and readable code in one try, that achieved what it had to.
