Ничего обещать не могу, но попробуйте пнуть меня через несколько дней. Моя жена печёт совершенно охренительные печеньки, по вкусу похоже на магазинные, но ей нужно повторить, чтобы записать рецепт и сделать фото — в прошлый (первый) раз всё умяли 😂

I spent part of today learning about Django-Unicorn as an alternative to Phoenix LiveView. Sadly Unicorn doesn't support push events- they just abstract away the AJAX calls and re-rendering.

Django Reactor does support events, but then you have to use async all over the place, and even then the components don't get state pushed to them, they send a message to the client which then makes an AJAX request for a state update.

I love that on fedi I will frequently come across posts which say things like, "I'm switching my LobNar configuration from Dexxxxus to Qzzzzp, because while I appreciate the LBND support, Drippz doesn't play well with *screeching sound repeated seven times at precise intervals* and my ¿~™€€÷¿ port is 33759904.5 so I can't install 🍒🍒🍒 without voiding my warranty."

And I'll look at it and wonder idly what the fuck they're talking about, but I don't have to care, so I let it flow over me like the lifeblood of the universe, while secretly harboring the suspicion that no one, not even the poster themselves, knows what the fuck they're talking about.

ChatGPT added MCP support on Wednesday.

ChatGPT leaked private Gmail data to attackers by Friday. 🤦‍♂️

Because #promptinjection is not a problem these "PhD level" AI assistants have solved.

Look at that calendar invite. That text is all it took for taking over someone's #ChatGPT connected data. Allowing the attacker to use the same #MCP enabled tools that are supposed to make AI useful at work.

It really is as stupid as @davidgerard keeps telling in Pivot to AI.

Re: last boost (cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog…), I wonder if Windows is also becoming less popular with blind kids. My immediate reaction was that they're an exception, because Windows still has the best screen readers. But my sample size of younger generations of blind people is too small for me to be sure.


Kids nowadays get Chromebooks at college, MacBooks for uni, use Android or iOS on their phones and game on PlayStation 5 and Switch.

Windows is this legacy thing forced on them by old people in business.

Nice one! Will probably buy one too when Pixel 11 will come out (I'm buying older Pixels when the new ones come out as there are usually good deals on them). Tbh, I'm interested in the desktop mode a lot - it seems it's really close to the official release now - and Pixel 10 may be a good device to run a Linux VM smoothly enough to be useful in the desktop mode.

jo, tohle přehnaný blokování je zvláštní. Na takové instanci bych nechtěl být. Takhle mě dlouho blokoval mastodon.art za to, že provozuju fedisearch. Vůbec nebyla možnost se bránit, prostě ke mě doputoval příspěvek typu "tenhle týpek indexuje posty na fedi a není jak se opt-outnout, zablokovat" a bylo hotovo. Nikomu nevadilo že to není pravda. Neindexují se posty, ale accounty. A opt out způsoby mám asi 3. 🤷

I think it's reasonable to declare that pthread_cancel() is effectively broken for any nontrivial use on contemporary OSes and it is unlikely to be fixed any time soon.

(I suspect it would actually be easier to cajole libc maintainers into adding an async friendly version of GAI() than to make GAI() cancellation safe.)

If you want a cancellable thing from which you can make blocking calls, the only near-universal option is subprocesses. Unfortunately there are reasons why in some ecosystems it is impolite for a library to start a subprocess.

I did not know or follow Charlie Kirk until I heard of his death recently, but man. All these people claiming the world would be a better place without him/such persons are not a single bit better than what they claim him to be. Crying around about how he hated people, or encouraged to it? WTF? Do you realise you're supporting that this guy got shot, murdered in front of his family? The world is broken. RIP and god bless.

Oh and before anyone thinks this is any sort of political statement, since he was also connected to Trump. I really don't like everything Trump does, firing disabled people from federal jobs, for example.
But honestly, hearing close family members say how it might've been better if the shot back then had hit him too, and even laughing at it...
I seriously have to wonder what's going on these days.

It’s hard to communicate sometimes just how legacy and niche the concept of a desktop workstation has become. The idea of sitting down at a dedicated space to do computer things is outdated. If we—desktop Linux I mean—are building solely for that experience we’ll die out. If you’re not building towards notebook, tablet, and mobile workflows you’re building for the past

There's a famous computer joke that goes along the lines of "we needed 4K of RAM to send people to the Moon, and now we need <e.g. 4GB to keep a grocery shopping list>".

I think it is a fine illustration of the Jevons paradox in computing, and one of the "computing Murphy laws", known as the Parkinson's Law of Data - "Data expands to fill the space available for storage". I also think it's quite intriguing to highlight observations of a similar phenomenon related to compilers, especially in the context of #permacomputing

Yesterday I read a book on a minimalist compiler written in the 00's, having a remarkable footprint of merely 424 KB of RAM.

And then I thought about Turbo Pascal for CP/M that ran with 64KB of RAM. And then various compilers that worked on micros with 16KB or less.

And then I read about things like the ALGO compiler, an ALGOL clone, for a first generation/vacuum tube computer Bendix G-15 (yes, the one Usagi Electric has): 2160 words of 29 bit RAM, no more than 370 op/s.

In world political news that went under the radar over the past few days: the government of #Nepal has been overthrown by youths following a governmental move to block social media, and accusations of corruption.

A new PM was elected over #Discord, and has been accepted by the military. They aim to hold elections within 6 months.

I repeat:

THEY ELECTED A NEW GOVERNMENT

OVER

DISCORD.

And no second ammendment was needed to rise up against against tyranny.

Apple Watch Series 11's Increased 24-Hour Battery Life Has a Catch macrumors.com/2025/09/12/apple…

> Police investigators in Russia’s Kaliningrad region on Monday discovered the decapitated body of the CEO of a local fertilizer company.

> The chief executive, Alexei Sinitsyn, is believed to have died by suicide, according to a law enforcement source cited by the Vedomosti business newspaper.

Weird suicide bro

Things Charlie Kirk, dead Nazi, publicly stood for:

1. A few gun violence deaths
2. Making children watch public executions
3. Delighting in the deaths of one's political opponents

Things MAGA wants us to feel bad about:

1. Charlie Kirk died from gun violence
2. His children watched his public execution
3. We are delighted that he is dead
