Reposted by drewNDP @ndp.ca · 08/10/2026Homelessness in Canada exploded after successive Conservative and Liberal governments gutted public housing spending. The market won't solve the problems it created. It's time for the government to get back in the business of building housing that people can actually afford. 99840
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 07/10/2026hahaha, yeah, this is clearly some AI bullshit, though a free OSS CS6 equivalent suite would rock! 010
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 07/10/2026now let me just see if there’s a CLAUDE.md file in the repo… oh would you look at that! built the hard way come on now 130
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 07/10/2026this shit takes forever but finally ready to order the production candidate PCBs and panels! figuring out how the damn thing fits together and what it's made of has taken months. now to figure out what mistakes i made after spending a bunch of money 090
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 22/09/2026powered by claude! remember this next time someone tries to tell you that anthropic are “good guys” www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202... 061
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 21/09/2026god i wish there was good star trek being made. can we just memory hole everything made after enterprise and start there 040
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 17/09/2026can we please go one day without a dumb ass from either openai or anthropic getting scared by their shadow and everyone writing a story about it 040
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 12/09/2026“you very well may keep a job!” god just listen to yourself! bsky.app/profile/hail... 180
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 12/09/2026it is such an insane fantasy to think that neoliberal governments would ever let UBI exist. no, instead we will have wealth inequality like you can’t even imagine if these AI dorks get their way. get ready to make $10/month changing GPUs in a data center 122
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 10/09/2026that sounds very good. i’m entering the bagel making phase of my unemployment 010
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 10/09/2026we thought we were making the machine god but we accidentally made the machine DEVIL and it will kill us all! oh shit, oh fuck what did we do anyways here's a new model we think you're going to love 020
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 09/09/2026this is what happens to your brain when all of your friends are other rich bay area tech guys 000
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 09/09/2026it does make sense that all these "ai is the god machine and it's so scary and we have to build it as fast as possible" people are rationalist slate star codex types. closely related to the effective altruism dorks 121
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 08/09/2026it is a really funny flex to have a little AI psychosis on main and drive a whole website crazy for 24 hours 010

drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 08/09/2026i think this is very true! we have to find a way to talk about it with each other in a way that doesn't feel so dismissive ("get on board or get left behind" etc) i have appreciated your thoughts on all this stuff and am glad you haven't succumbed to Poster's Madness like so many others on here 141
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 07/09/2026go outside and talk to people who don't work at tech companies. talk to artists! talk to teachers! 1581
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 07/09/2026good! this is the future. imo as engineers it's of critical importance that we're not giving up the tools to build things, regardless of how you feel about the current duopoly. support the people on your team choosing to do things locally! 000
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 07/09/2026oh i’m very aware of the state of the industry. i just think it’s a really dismissive way to shrug off real concerns. if paul wants to be an interesting CTO he can move the whole engineering team to locally run open weight models. @pfrazee.com i dare you 210
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 07/09/2026wow… i just lost my job… thanks for rubbing it in… sheesh… 010
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 07/09/2026just take a breather and stop posting and consider whether other people might not be insane and might just have a different point of view that you. respectfully! 170
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 07/09/2026man you gotta chill out. it sucks to be dismissive of all concerns about LLM programming. not everyone is ”delusional”. not all of us are eager to hand over the ability to build things to two unsavoury companies who stole all of the internet from us and run everything on illegal spacex data centers 3180
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 31/08/2026being unemployed is about 3 parts hell yeah finally i can focus on my projects and 1 part oh god what am i doing with my life 090
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 30/08/2026yeah it’s coming out at the same time in a form of beautiful synergy 010
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 28/08/2026in case it was not clear i'm working on a macos 10.4+ compatible subsonic music player that runs on ppc/x86/x64/aarch64! it's already pretty usable but it looks like crap so it'll be a while 140
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 21/08/2026elfin lakes is the most beautiful location on the planet 010
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 19/08/2026have been playing around with pixel-art-ifying film photos i've taken over the years which feels like it can capture some of the "subalpine" aspect in a way that is also a little fun but feels like it's trying less hard than like, a picture of a mountain as a triangle wave 130
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 19/08/2026i am not a designer but i really wanted to try to do as much of the brand/identity of my synth company as possible. i think i've landed on these typefaces which feels authentic to the aesthetic i've been thinking of. it feels like something i can execute on myself that is a little "fun" 170
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 18/08/2026yayyyy thank you! my plan for the final product is hardwood with a nice aluminum panel but there's something kind of charming about a synth in a chunk of 2x8 😊 010
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 18/08/2026haven't put out a demo in a while! i am hard at work on the next prototype 1152
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 08/08/2026nothing like waiting to see if your childhood home burnt down, if your parents are homeless, if your brother and his family are also homeless, etc 040
drew @grmnygrmny.bsky.social · 06/08/2026playing around with some ideas for synth brand aesthetic and kinda like digitized film photo 090
