Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 10hSpent most of the day today working on a redesign for Livtet. It currently looks like this: 1120
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 02/10/2026Given who's in charge of the administration; we should take federal reporting with a grain of salt. 010
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 30/09/2026OH, it's the usual crew of tech folks who are here solely and purely for the money 150
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 29/09/2026I think I need to make the AI smarter because I keep getting stuck into these types of plays. 010
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 29/09/2026MAN. Because for all intentions and purposes, nationally, I'm American as hell (I have no claims to Haitian nationhood that I can invoke without going back there to live for ~6 years): This is the nationality conversation Black immigrants deal with: loss of heritage through migration. 183
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 27/09/2026My sister got married and I ain't gonna show you that but I will show you ME 112101
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 27/09/2026Am I making a game in #Godot to showcase how I can write separate NPCs using stanchion.jacky.wtf so folks can write in their own characters as a sim? Maybe. 3140
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 27/09/2026Does anyone out there actually drop $1,000 on Claude a month? 341
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 27/09/2026Never mind, this is effectively a form of indentured servitude to the MLB. Black Americans wouldn't have to experience this (more protection here in the States) but the view of Caribbean Black people as "the local African body for hire" helps out (see: tourism) 131
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 27/09/2026How is this not some sort of ... I don't even want to say it but I know they're underpaid and undervalued until they go fully pro. 131
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 27/09/2026This is an implementation of a game in #Godot using @godot-rust.bsky.social to connect to a set of plugins using stanchion.jacky.wtf to drive the known set of combination available to the player and the game's AI. The AI will pick the most aggressive option (hence why it's beating my ass) 110
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 26/09/2026This felt weird. Did she have to be The One to do this? There's no chance her training data won't end up in some porn corpora no (although Instagram is basically that now) 190
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 26/09/2026I spoke to it so you didn't have to; echo due to me recording and playing audio at the 130
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 26/09/2026Longer synopsis video with me talking over it (one hiccup: the in-built book reader didn't work; fixing that now) 000
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 26/09/2026And now we got audiobooks playing! Featuring libro.fm/audiobooks/9... 131
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 25/09/2026Okay, so now it's a full fledged OPDS client as well. Download books from your preferred OPDS places (it comes with archive.org and www.gutenberg.org) 152
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 25/09/2026Sync is half done; there's a separate daemon process that does all of the sync work to keep the main application responsive. This is what it looks like in the settings panel - need to wire this into the Android app. Shout out to @webawesome.com for having a QR code rendering option out of the box! 121
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 25/09/2026Some progress with the app (ignore the sources of books). The interface is built out using @webawesome.com and data driven by tauri.app + tanstack.com for snappy data population. The OPDS implementation is strict and client-only. 263
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 24/09/2026Well, I tried. Antrophic hasn’t hit me back and it’s been almost two months 060
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 24/09/2026Timely as hell by @aworkinglibrary.com: aworkinglibrary.com/writing/an-a... 020
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 23/09/2026Because I'm cheap, I'm hammering this with OpenRouter's free model tier and it makes me realize model supremacy and accuracy is meaningless (it's only speed at that point) when you have well defined work: 110
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 22/09/2026I'd like to think that I have T A S T E My 9 anime #My9Animes my9animes.com/en/share/4b0... 560
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 20/09/2026Parent: Jacky, what are you doing on that computer? Me: *turns computer to her* Parent: *looks* 1250
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 18/09/2026So far, it can report if your #Ruby example code is referencing code that doesn't exist in your codebase (keep the examples valid, basically): 110
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 18/09/2026Starting to get upset with myself for just going and going and going... BUT THE FEATURE IS COOL github.com/spinel-coop/... 180
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 18/09/2026LOL this is basically saying let the Rust community deal with the slop monster than is Bun. Wow 160
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 15/09/2026There's a reason why I prefer socializing on @blackskyweb.xyz than other platforms. And given how we've seen legacy (and modern!) media move, we need places that are true to a mission that help Black people. And what helps Black people, helps everyone. 171
Jacky Alciné @jacky.wtf · 15/09/2026There's a lot of money to be made on "analyzing Black traffic" and companies like Spill know this: 250
![As with the difficulty of describing all of those of African ancestry in the United States (partially or otherwise) under a singular umbrella term, the want to describe (enforce?) a (non-)consensual understanding of Blackness on a sub-section of the Internet as this singular entity, one as neatly described as "Black Twitter", has been a desire of folks whose role in the media production functions of society have left them currently without a faucet to tap on when they want to know "what's going on" ever since Twitter's sale to Elon. Threads has benefited from a large density of Black people on the platform automatically having accounts by way of Instagram[2] - a digital equivalent to the benefit that the United States had on its cultural outputs due to its capture of African people from centuries ago and their persistent grasp on preventing a means of legitimate exit (if not disassociation).
It's interesting, though. As much as it's spoken about — we don't see other places having issues like this. Smaller ones, in comparison to places like Threads or Blacksky, don't seem to have this problem. It could be due to the fact that they didn't branch off from other spaces. The most prominent one that I pay attention to is Spill. They managed to secure funds in venture capital of $2 million from Kerry Washington]23 in 2024. Ironically, they're part of the inspiration of my idea of Spadat for AT Protocol. But they're not honest about how they make money literally off their analysis of the slice of digital Black experiences — not to their users, nor do these people who pay the executives get paid out for this, being able to pay back Kerry $0.50 to the dollar of her investment (if they paid it out quick):
According to Spill’s chief growth officer, Kenya Parham, the company projected it would cross $1 million in annualized revenue at the start of 2025 and had surpassed that mark by the end of the third quarter of 2025.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e2ctbutx6kya6si4if5ngjmm/bafkreihyxltt5mlzgfb4cgvaewjotfvxztn62lgurfsaxgz5jkvy3hhgvm)
