  5. As much of a state many tech communities are in right now, the one thing I am glad for is that I can use IRC/XMPP instead of Discord. Likewise, I am glad that I can also use Mastodon/Akkoma over Twitter. Overall, I am glad that I can use much these much more sanitary platforms over inconvenient PII farming simulators, and I would not be missing out on much in comparison to many other spaces.

    Here's my problem: I don't just like technology, but I also like nerdcore, specifically, fanmade rap battles. Many creators in the space are active on either Twitter, Discord, or both and are generally fine with it. My views are not their problem, nor are theirs mine, but a lack of openness to other solutions for those that care--granted, the Venn diagram between those who care about privacy and likes fanmade rap battles are extraordinarily small--is my main frustration. Having to make a Twitter account just to talk to someone in the community who isn't in any public servers was incredibly frustrating for me, especially with my views regarding Twitter. Point being that having to sign up to shitholes just to not miss out is stressing.

    This is why I am glad that I am also here. I do have the liberty to use much better platforms without having to missing out. I can just send someone an email, instead of create a throwaway on a social media I despise just to interact with them and hope they accept my request to DM. I have to appreciate the more open nature of this internet. If not for it, I would be stuck using the same things as everyone else, and I would be much less happier.

  15. Quote of the day, 5 May: Père Jacques

    Let us be aware that God is here, present among us. Let us gaze upon him in and around us.

    Let us likewise place ourselves in the presence of the Virgin Mary, our model of contemplation, who listened faithfully to God throughout her life. Let us ask her to teach us how to listen to God, to grasp his words, and to live them out.

    Servant of God Jacques de Jésus

    -Sand cannot be forced inside an hourglass, or it'll break. Likewise, your tasks cannot all be completed at once. Prioritize, do them one after the other with full attention, and don't be attached to the outcome.

  17. A review of the Irish government's new AI literacy by @CriticalRedPen and her mam - and honestly, I think her mam has those LLM-based generative chatbots sussed:

    "She was irritated and fed up by the end, and deeply unimpressed. Likewise, she did not get the impression of AI being a useful time-saver, but a tremendous waste of time."

    The Stainless Steel Rat Joins the Circus -- chapter 21

    He was a good and experienced climber. I would have stopped for breath by this time. He just went at it hand over hand at a steady pace. Reached the junction of the four legs. That should be it. But no, he went on until he appeared to be as high as the cables pendant from their immense insulators. Then he stopped. A dark smudge against the bright metal of the tower.
    And seemed to remain there for an awfully long time.
    I don’t know much clock time passed before he started back down. Subjective time seemed to last and last. And then I could see that he was moving back down, surely and steadily. He jumped the last few meters, smiling and wiping the grit from his hands.
    “A piece of cake. Timed to blow in two hours.”
    “We’ll have a front seat for the show.”
    “We will indeed.”

    ...

    “Just about time-” Bolivar said when the ball of flame flared out. Changed to dark billows of smoke.
    For long moments nothing happened. The copter bumped a bit when the sound of the explosion reached us.
    “Now,” Bolivar said.
    And it was going. The top of the tower was bending, falling almost gracefully. Then the giant insulators began to turn and twist, the immense cables stirring and writhing. Falling.
    I could see lightning spear out as the falling cables broke, twisting as though in pain. Twisted and fell, faster and faster, followed by the ruined tower. Splashing down into the sea in great furrows of waves that stretched across the width of the channel.
