iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'm not gonna get into it, but on rare occasions I look back in disbelief on how much historical shit I've been involved with or entangled in that, despite being very much an open book, probably nobody will ever know about and even I'll barely remember. Just know that I don't talk out of my ass.

Yeah, you bet I saw that shit, I skimmed it, and I was NOT posting it because I have standards.

i really really REALLY don’t think you should respond to someone getting death threats by saying “this sucks, but it makes sense because the person telling you to KYS has material and mental conditions that are making them lash out” STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR DEATH THREAT ENJOYERS

Sure, go ahead, post about a relatively important distinction that matters, I say to myself. People can handle it without being too weird, I reassure myself.

Me: think we need to differentiate between "Al uses a lot of water!" (not necessarily bad on its own) and "Al stresses local water supplies" (a potentially real issue). The distinction is important because even "modest" use can cause serious issues, especially given the locations of data centers

I said when this began that Israel planned to use their fleet of armored Caterpillar war-bulldozers to flatten and redevelop Palestine, but it seems they've decided it's better to let the rubble lie first, to ensure it sinks in what power is capable of normalizing in 2026: Hiroshima-like imagery.

Criticizing the state of anti-AI advocacy from a largely aligned position isn't my whole fucking personality. I have a lot going on. It is, however, THIS WHOLE FUCKING WEBSITE 80% OF THE TIME. And I make the mistake of reading this website hoping to see literally anything else almost ever.

It will pan out in short order to be a generational embarassment to socialist analysis that so many people failed or declined to assess LLMs as a means of production, as if capable of serving only the preferred forms of capital, wishing it away like the idealists their ostensible idols criticized.

As somebody who's dealt with a lot of abusive people over the years, I'm plenty used to working hard to convince ppl/groups of what is the right thing to do until they eventually decide it was their idea all along. I don't care whether anybody acknowledges my role if it gets the job done. Priorities

Hasan Piker is the target of a dangerous libel campaign intended to hurt us all by proxy, and opposing it is a high priority, but he certainly does harbor some ugly prejudices & personality traits that resurface from time to time. His uncritical 'coverage' of this hit piece was deeply disappointing.

Just gonna say in 24 hours I have not seen a single apology at any level by anyone who used the article as an excuse to bash Covid cautious people or queer people as a whole. I have not seen a word from people who gleefully referred to disabled people as “wreckers”. Not one single oops.

It's annoying to keep hearing about cool CSS features only to find out browser support isn't great, so today I take a look at a bunch of features that have fantastic support, but people still turn to JS for instead. youtu.be/qu1jE41O_8o

just like with the sensible approach Godot Engine is taking toward the deluge of slop they are sifting MANUALLY, the people who want to plug their ears and scream tend to react violently to those who are not so privileged to ignore the circumstances and have to do something effective about it.

If you are a novice with specific purposes to write software for, and complicated questions that need thorough answers, even the most dedicated, responsive community of expert interdisciplinary developer support cannot practically deliver the depth of assistance that is the everyday work of an LLM.

The social culture of this place is bizarrely fucking stuffy and cold. I'm grateful for everyone who acts like a human being on here because a lot of longtime friends are somehow now well above responding to me or following back -- from day one, before I ever even said anything contentious here.

I feel like Mamdani is doing exemplary work within the tight confines of his position and maximizing his leverage where it counts. Demonstrating international solidarity and emphasizing local governance is outstanding praxis in a collapse of the prior imperial order. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

It's so silly that FIVE PEOPLE entered the Steam Frame lottery just for me and not a single one of them got in thanks btw ilu

Well! That makes ONE person I know of who actually got a reservation. I'm glad they did -- devs have to roll the dice too??

So many years with my G903, and about a year into my G305, and I'm struck by the double click and the reverse scroll respectively, both at once. Logitech smh Nothing beats their wireless so I will begrudgingly repair them. My gaming machine is on a MCHOSE superlight-clone anyway.

No wonder it was so ... on-model.

Trying to skim this in a way I was unlikely to spoil the game for myself (Years ago I got about a half hour into it, then put it down when I managed to slam my head into a wall), I was pleased to see a shoutout to @resonite.com

furnace tracker is my new favorite, if anyone is looking for a suggestion

Kinkshaming sucks, and I'll shut it down wherever I see it, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's counterproductive to make sure everybody in general discursive spaces is *constantly* hearing/THINKING about a kink they're REALLY not into that they're otherwise happy for you to enjoy *without* them.

i'm not gonna interact, but i don't think any cohost founder has any place calling it meaningfully superior to literally anything that still exists, because cohost fucking doesn't. they sold you land on a fault line, and somehow, little critique arose when the commons you built on it just vanished.

Some bsky users might be shocked to learn that variously infantilizing, abandoning, and demonizing people who still use Twitter is not going to sell them on going elsewhere, much less coming here. A few will admit that it's fully intentional. Yet even fewer will recognize the failure of alternatives
