"We come to bury ChatGPT, not to praise it." Excellent piece by @danmcquillan
danmcquillan.org/chatgpt.html

I suggest you read the whole thing, but some pull quotes:

"ChatGPT is a part of a reality distortion field that obscures the underlying extractivism and diverts us into asking the wrong questions and worrying about the wrong things."

We come to bury ChatGPT, not to praise it.

ok, this one at least sounds a bit better, but I still think I am not setting something right. I recorded a new file of 2 minutes 54 seconds of me just talking. this time not taken from one of my audio tutorials. I told it to read the same thing, and here is what it made this time.

@libreoffice has a #DarkMode. 😍

OK, I updated from 7.3, so I probably missed this feature in 7.4, but this is a _huge_ improvement for me. And I just discovered, that I can change the document background, too. Less strain on my eyes. I'm in love! ❀️ ❀️ ❀️

Ever since I've focused on Mastodon over Twitter, the one major thing I've said over and over again that was missing (but I was sure was coming) was a Mastodon version of Nuzzel or Tweetshelf. A tool to find what news links your followers are sharing.

And... @decius has just built one! Just released today, so may be buggy, but already looks amazing and INCREDIBLY useful.

The inaugural State Of Open conference organised by non-profit @openuk takes place in London tomorrow and Wednesday.

stateofopencon.com/

Topics cover open source software, open data, open hardware and is the first conference of its kind that I'm aware of in the UK.

There are still a few tickets available, free for those in education or currently seeking work.

I'm volunteering at the conference both days, helping speakers and attendees, and hope to see some of you there.
