  2. I had photographed a quote from one of my books. I forgot which book.

    CoPilot attributed it to Thomas C. Schelling. But it did not know which book and I don’t have work from Schelling. Copilot withdrew its answer. 🤨

    So, since Google has already digested a lot of books, I asked their AI. Yup, it found it, including the chapter.

    Okay, AI has some benefits… 🤓

  4. One of the most important things I've learnt in my career is the ability to say, "I don't know."

    It's not a weakness. it's a strength. Leadership and/or management were reaching out for your expert understanding, and right now, you don't have a viewpoint. That is OK.

    It can help prevent decisions being made in haste or out of FOMO.

    Stop, slow down a bit, gain some insight, and then proceed with real insight.

  5. It’s Monday! Do you know what that means? A new episode of Fish Don’t Cry is here!

    In a distant future where (cis) guys are and almost extinct, a fish transformed into a hot man enters a party full of women… what will happen?

    (Also, finally Seraphin is here! HE IS HERE!).

  6. To me, #shadcn has become the absolute king of frontend, but I understand some people don't agree.

    itnext.io/how-shadcn-became-th

    It solves important problems, but gives you two smaller ones. Is there no perfect frontend framework?

  7. Can somebody help me find a piece of critique that made the rounds a few days ago? It was pretty long, had a rainbow background and was hosted on some kind of cute-sy domain like computer.website or similar. Don't remember the title. I think it started with “this is a rant”. But I’m not sure.

    I wanted to read it, but it didn't end up in either my browser history nor my read-it-later app.

    Thanks!

  8. While walking the dog I passed a neighbor's house with three very loud and energetic dogs. I almost never see any of these dogs, because they are in a fenced backyard, and I usually don't hear all three at once, but the full orchestra was out that morning, two barking loudly in different keys and tempos and one heartily going BAROO BAROO BAROO. It was like a modern jazz concert.

    I stopped to record it and an older man came out of the house across the street from the Three Dog House. He was behind me. "I'm enjoying the music," I said, and then I thought about hearing that every day. "Probably you don't enjoy it."

    Because I was interrupted, I did not record the concert.

    The man looked at Minnie and exclaimed, "The cone of shame!" Yes, Minnie is still wearing the cone. It's been a month. We have an appointment at an eye specialist and are planning to switch vets.

    A few minutes later I passed a parked car with a license plate frame that read something like, "CALIFORNIA — WHERE AMERICA'S DAY STARTS." At least I *think* that's what it said. But that does not make sense. As a longtime tech trade journalist, I am aware in my bones that the rest of America wakes up well before California does; when I hit my desk on a workday morning my Teams messages and emails are already full.

    That sent me a down an Internet rabbit hole to find out where America's day REALLY starts — in other words, what's the furthest point east in either the continental US or territories. There are two possible answers, one of them a technicality.

    The common-sense answer is a point in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I always forget the U.S. Virgin Islands exists.

    The other answer, which will be great to know for a pub trivia quiz: A point on the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, which goes so far west that it crosses the 180th Meridian and becomes east.

    I did not research this point, but I expect that this means the point in the US that is furthest west and the point that is furthest east are a single footstep apart from each other.

  9. Trump: Thanks to taxpayer money I gave #Putin you're paying over six bucks a gallon for #diesel in #Kansas and #Missouri. And don't worry farmers, I'll be sending you a little money soon too - if you get your sorry asses to the polls and vote my way so Congress will play dead for 2 more years.

  10. Waiting for UK to evict Palantir, golden child of Peter Thiel's fascistic, deluded mind?

    Don't hold your breath. Britain has been a client state of the US since ww2.

    Thiel, et al. paid for Trump's 2024 win. Trump does what he was paid to do, eg, shower Palantir with overpaid contracts & telling client states to do the same. As a client state, Britain does what it's told, incl evicting potential Corbyns.

  11. Seeing the ACNH section on GameBanana turn to slop is... not conducive to my wanting to continue #ProjectSpecialK.

    Seeing the SCI Programming forum turn to slop is likewise not exactly inspiring me to continue #TheDatingPool.

    I don't *want* these projects to die, but goddamn it's hard...

    "Next year (if he avoids prison obviously)
    I I will give a 'share' of #SpaceX
    to every child in #USA"

  14. I was actually the first to vote in this! 😂

    I saw The Sun post the article and went straight in.

    Why don’t you add your vote too?

  15. @soulver If I open a Soulver file on iOS there is no way to get back to the Default file other than force quitting the app.
    In the opened file, I don’t have the back button or plus button at the top - Or am I missing something?

  16. I just asked copilot what it knew about me, and the answer was surprisingly detailed and included work, a blog I wrote for 20-odd years and my presence here (linked through usernames and the tagline on my profile). As I don’t really pretend that I’m something I’m not, none of this really bothers me. What stopped me dead was the summary (of the blog) that said “the blog is unusual as it is a public longitudinal record in which the older you repeatedly revisits and reinterprets the younger you”.
    I haven’t written on the blog regularly for a few years now, but yeah…. That’s pretty much it. Thinking about it now, a lot of it is about processing how my perspective has changed as I’ve got older and as my has progressed.
    I should write a book.

  17. urgently need $200 to buy flour and food for my little ones. Please, don’t let us face this hunger alone. Every donation matters, and every share could bring help to our door. 🙏🇵🇸
    May God bless everyone who stands with us. ❤️

    the Bo Peep Cleaners by mistake. I don't know why they gave me men's
    shirts but they're going back.

    All that You Have Is Your Soul

    Remembering Bill Graham through Tracy Chapman’s song of wisdom.

    “Don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    ‘Cause all that you have is your soul”

  20. Police were called on 3 year old Black boy and he and his family were banned from the youth soccer league because he was too good at playing soccer.

    But don't you dare say we still have a racism problem in the USA! It's just all about fairness in childrens sports.

  21. Of a Hollywood neighbour who had had his portrait painted in the nude with outsize genitals:
    "It's so real, you almost feel he could speak to you, don't you?"

  22. “People talk about the right way to live. Shut up, you don’t know what you’re on about. Look at you, you voted for ‘em, didn’t you, you dirty rat?”

    -Orbital / Dirty Rat

    As an American I continue to think about this song all “same shit, different country” even though it was originally about Brexit. Beware Europeans, it can happen to you, I mean it already did.

    Favorite quote: “the balance on the scales and the bag of fucking lies is unequaled in my lifetime”

    Which character would survive the longest if suddenly dropped into our world (…)?

    Ketchup

    All the indigenous characters I wrote about would survive until they die of old age. They don't depend on our understanding of how the world should work. They know their way, and everybody around them does too. Hitchhiking to the nearest reservation will do the trick, and nobody from any government or any kind of official people will ever notice what happened.

  24. RE: mastodonapp.uk/@quazarsamcoupe

    And that's the final stock of the ZXTT gone! But don't worry, ZXTT v2.0 posts will follow later today! 😉

    The original ZXTT was extremely popular since launch in September 2021, for pitch perfect #ZXSpectrum #Chiptune tones!

    Preordered back issues of SAM Revival 26 are about to be dropped off at the Post Office after getting all the coverdisks duplicated to go along with the fourth print run. Enjoy the #SAMCoupe fun!

  25. 📝 New blog post: I put Wikipedia, Stack Overflow and the Amiga Hardware Reference Manual on my NAS, for my agents

    Agents don't need the open web so much as a good offline library. local-wiki puts Kiwix ZIM files behind an MCP server on my Synology, trims every page down for tokens, and has private Amiga and C64 shelves where asking for BPLCON0 or D016 opens the right page.

  26. People: We want a more convenient method to sign into accounts across the internet!
    IT: Here you have SSO.
    People: We want a more secure way to sign in!
    IT: Here you have MFA.
    People: We don’t want to log in over and over again!
    IT: Here you have a “remember me” checkbox.

    Le-sigh. We (IT) never listen to what people want. And just throw more useless victim blaming tech down onto the masses, checking some arbitrary checkboxes while solving absolutely nothing. 🤦
