Today I made a tiny donation to the GNOME Foundation. Sadly I can't give millions like some shady dudes gave to other shady dudes, but it's honest money. donate.gnome.org

Any self-respecting creator (in this case, musician) using gAI should be embarassed. If it's just for his kids, why does it have a public website with links to Bandcamp, Spotify, etc.?

I killed one of my Lily58 PCBs. To be fair, I was butchering it with the soldering iron. It's well deserved.

Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

After half a day reviewing and closing accounts I have a sense of nowadays situation. The bigger the company, the worse the process is.

Doing some cleaning and deleting some accounts I don't use, like Dropbox or Evernote. I remember the late 00s, when all these came up. They used to be great. Internet felt different.

Someone decided at some point that the phone's power button should be repurposed as an ingress to the AI slop machine. They took the audio jack away from us and most of the physical buttons, and they're butchering the remaining ones.

I don't think that having a phone with a camera makes one a photographer. Same as being a hairdresser because of having scissors or being a surgeon because you could open someone's chest. Having the tool is not the same as knowing the trade.

I think they managed to squeeze money from 70s and 80s kids when they became adults. It worked with things like Star Wars, GTA Vice City or Stranger Things. I see they're trying now with 90s kids. Sorry big corpos. Us 90s kids are mostly broke.

The amount of money they're pouring into building data centers everywhere is crazy. But it's great, because they will be able to collect and process a huge amount of data on how the economy collapsed because of it.

Nobody will remember you for dunking on people on Twitter, being aggressive, or acting like a tough guy. You will be forgotten as an asshole. People will be remembered for being kind and generous. For giving more than they take.

We keep talking about how obsessed and deranged this man is, but what I'm really disappointed is at TJ and Prime. You could notice in their first interview that they were fanboying hard, but dude, at this point still there? Draw a fucking line.

I saw a couple of this round shaped coins with a squared hole in the background of a picture. I got curious and started checking. The background is blurry so they could be Chinese, but also could be Kan’ei Tsūhō coins. Then I start digging.

LinkedIn lunatics commenting in a DHH post about omarchy saying that the issue is their grandmas not being able to use Linux. Brochachos, Ubuntu (which I'm not a big fan of) has been easier to use than Windows or MacOS for what, 15 years? Good God the confidence of the technobros.

Got to a point where all the feedback and documentation I get is AI generated and I don't know if I'm just dumb but my brain suffers when trying to read it. Some people say that it's just to feed it to another AI. Should we just start tagging "this for AI" and "this for humans"? Is it a thing?

I really enjoy debugging when it feels like unraveling a mystery and everything makes sense in the end. Especially when I Scooby-Doo some coworker. Turns out, lots of times it was me all along, tho.

It's funny (no, it's not) that I had to get a 6.67" screen phone because it's kind of the standard. I remember my first Android tablet, a Nexus 7. Guess what the seven stood for.

This pressure to use AI for coding reminds me of times when they pushed to use WYSIWYG tools that would generate even the backend code. Don’t remember the name, but I remember having issues with management because of that. It was almost 20 years ago and yes, the generated code was garbage.

I really like astronomy and everything space related, but jeez they got fucking annoying with the eclipse. It’s everywhere, nothing else is happening in the world. It’s worse than the Pope’s visit weeks ago. None of you will remember about it in a month.

Today, in the Chronicles of Living in a Small Village, a very old neighbor stopped me to ask me if I wanted zucchini. After realizing that he was not hitting on me, he brought me two from his farm because he has too many. They weight 1,5 kg. Each.

To change your Vueling account email you have to phone them. At this point in my life, I consider to just delete the account and never fly with them. It's the equivalent of going somewhere and going back home because there's no parking close by.
