I have a preconference workshop, Principle Misunderstandings, scheduled for Monday 19th October in Kraków at JDD. Many principles developers advocate or apply are different to what they think they are, and some don't even make sense. Join me for some insights and some code. jdd.org.pl/workshop2

Re-watching the brilliant “Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey stuff” by @kevlin.bsky.social (www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdAp...) the day numbering section is sooo enjoyable. In Greek, “Monday” is “Δευτερα”, literally, “the second” :>

you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires

Mobile-only is a problem to be avoided, not a strategy to be embraced. Similarly, in most cases, mandatory registration is technically unnecessary, and is little more than not-even thinly disguised data greed.
