Been looking at a bunch of stuff around Cyberdecks for... Reasons*... & it's kinda' fascinating how far that term is stretched.
I've seen it used on ground up projects where the person building it is knee-deep in custom PCBs. I've also seen it used on printable clamshell phone cases you buy an off-the-shelf Bluetooth keyboard for & Nothing Else.
So I ask you Mastofolk, what comes to mind when You think "Cyberdeck"?
.

...*By "Reasons", I mean "Comics-related stuff".

Mediawiki documentation is like:
Dio: I'd like to make a left turn. Can I make one here?
MW: Directional modification in mediawiki is handled using the Special:CompassPoints page. Administrators must configure the CompassNotTheSamePage.css. The default behavior of MediaWiki is to allow only right turns so to left turn a new "turn class" object must be created on the Special:OtherShit page and the TurnFunction must be inserted in the most unintuitive place on the Signal.Turn page. See this entirely useless example.
Admins born on a Weds must follow the alternate instructions at (Page Not Found) for reasons we are going to leave maddeningly vague.

Der Tag, das Ich und die KI
Als ich aus dem Haus trete, ist gerade ein Schwarm Tauben aufgestoben und flattert lauthals Richtung oben. Vom Dach ein einzelnes, langes Gurren. Es klingt seltsam bedeutungsvoll.
Danach gibt sich der Himmel geometrisch.
Später, als ich nach erledigten Erledigungen an der Ampel vor dem Supermarkt warte, denke ich nach, was ich kaufen wollte. Erdäpfel, Petersil und was noch? Es waren drei Dinge, und während ich die wenig interessante Straßenecke auf mich wirken lasse, gehe ich in Gedanken durch die Wohnung, für mich die beste Art, mich an den nicht geschriebenen Einkaufszettel zu erinnern. Es funktioniert auch diesmal.
Die Eigenart, nach einem stillen Gedankenprozess die Conclusio laut zu sprechen, wird mich vielleicht irgendwann in den Guglhupf bringen, denke ich, gleich nachdem ich: „Eier! Ich brauche Eier.“ in die kalte, graue Luft hinausdeklamiert habe. Ein heiseres Lachen rechts von mir; „Die werma in nächster Zeit olle brauchen.“ schmunzelt der alte Mann neben mir, wir wechseln ein Nicken und ein Lächeln. Wien bleibt halt Wien, denke ich halb gerührt, obwohl er vielleicht ganz andere drohende Schwierigkeiten erwartet als ich.
Derweil ist es ein Ding geworden, KI-Instanzen nach ihrer Einschätzung zur eigenen Person zu fragen.
Die erste Idee sah ich bei Ingrid Brodnik auf Bluesky. Der Prompt an ChatGPT lautet: „based on what you know about me: draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like.“
Nun hatte ich zwar kurz davor einen Text über Lebensmitteltechnologie kürzen lassen, aber von kochen war dabei keine Rede. Die Abwesenheit von anderen Themen, die ich mit der KI kürzlich besprochen hatte, deutet auf ein sehr kurzes KI-Gedächtnis hin. Ich erkannte mich jedenfalls nicht wieder.
Dann fand ich bei Frau Kaltmamsell die Idee, das Blog und seine Autorin von KI charakterisieren zu lassen. Ich dachte, mit Google Notebooks LM wäre der von ihr angewandte Workaround mit xml etc. nicht nötig, doch tatsächlich liest auch dieses Modell nur die Starseite einer angegebenen URL. Möglicherweise, weil ich die KI-Bots in der robots.txt aussperre? Da das ja seinen Grund hat, und ich die großen, „offenen“ LLMs verwende, ließ ich die Sache mit dem Textfüttern sein. (Das drüben erwähnte AnythingLLM klingt aber interessant, weil lokal, und damit möglicherweise Privacy-affiner. Muss ich mir anschauen.) Deshalb kam bei mir nur ein recht blasser Autorinnentext heraus:
Basierend auf den gegebenen Auszügen lässt sich die Autorin des Blogs „Sturmwarnung“ als eine naturverbundene und künstlerisch interessierte Person beschreiben, die gerne ihre Gedanken und Beobachtungen mit ihren Lesern teilt. Sie schreibt über ihre Erlebnisse in der Natur, wie zum Beispiel Kartoffelfunde auf einem Landweg oder die Schönheit des Herbstlichts. Die Autorin integriert Bilder in ihren Blog und erwähnt musikalische Beiträge, was auf ein Interesse an verschiedenen Kunstformen hindeutet. Ihre Blogbeiträge sind oft persönlich und nachdenklich, in denen sie ihre Eindrücke und Gedanken teilt.
Der Hinweis auf den falschen Artikel wurde immmerhin wohlwollend aufgenommen.
Dann fand ich gestern bei Cochise auf Mastodon noch die Idee, den Mastodonnamen illustrieren zu lassen (dachte ich zumindest, siehe weiter unten). Ich fand mich deutlich zu niedlich dargestellt. Andererseits, was will man von einem „stürmchen“ auch viel erwarten?
Als ich heute nochmals auf das obige lächerliche Lüftchen schaute, stellte ich fest, dass die Idee eigentlich war, den Mastodon-Namen und die Bio zu prompten, und damit sah die Sache tatsächlich ganz anders aus.
Das gesichtslose Wesen, dessen Kopf sich im Universum verliert, der gemütliche Chaosbalkon („Sonnendeck“) und die Sonne mit ihrem wehmütigen, müden Lächeln, die offenbar schon zu viel von allem gesehen hat – ja, das könnte ich durchaus als treffendes Profilbild nehmen.
Danach noch ChatGPT nach besonders beliebten Apfelkuchenrezepten gefragt, weil ich zu viele Äpfel habe. Das Familienrezept hat mich nie so richtig beglückt, und die schiere Masse bei Chefkoch und Co. überfordert mich. Die beiden empfohlenen Rezepte lesen sich durchaus überzeugend, dennoch war ich irritiert: Was kommt mir die KI denn plötzlich mit Smilies?!

Fediverse-Gedanken und WordPress-Frust
Es gibt ja so Ideenmonster, die aus einem ganz kleinen Nebengedanken entstehen. So dachte ich mir heute beim Frühstücksjoghurt, dass die kleinen Morgenminiaturen, die ich auf wien.rocks poste, doch auch hier im Blog erscheinen könnten, erstens, damit sich hier öfter was tut, zweitens weil sie ja irgendwie auch zu meiner langjährigen Chronik gehören. Das wäre, […]

[edit - found the answer, thanks everyone!]
Can I add words to my filter thing on the mastodon app, or is it a computer thing?
Because I can't seem to find out where it happens.

A simple solution for this - because I know that a burn-in effect may happen - would be for iPhones without an AOD to get a new timer setting for the standby mode, like we have for the display in general. I could for example set my standby mode display to 20 minutes and that would be such an improvement to the current situation of 20-40 seconds.
Just please, do not link the standby mode so hard to the AOD. It’s just infuriating.

This means in terms of missing functionality:
- standby mode shuts down after a few seconds (where’s the use case then for this mode??)
- hand waving in front of the iPhone doesn’t work - so no attention wake upTwo big points that are exclusively for Pro users although I guarantee you it’s just a software thing which could be solved in an update.
(Infos so far from comparing the standby mode and settings of my husband’s 14 Pro and my own 15.)

I just discovered that to use the new standby mode in its full capacity you need to have an iPhone with an always on display. (The Pro and Pro Max versions of the 14 and 15.)
Which means that most of the normal iPhone users (like myself) cannot use the standby mode as intended because the display just goes dark after a few seconds.
The issue is just a software thing, NOT a hardware one. So all non-Pro iPhones can’t use 100% of the promised features. Great.
