So far no labour saving device in the history of humanity has resulted in a long-term increase in leisure time and worker agency.

The thing that worries me most lately is that many people who know that “fascism is bad, actually” have also convinced themselves that AI tools must be eschewed as fake or impure. In a self-reinforcing loop, there is relatively little AI tooling and infra by “fascism is bad” folks.

Very quick and dirty Jev test for hiring bias. One resume for a Wall Street job; asked whether the applicant should get a first-round interview. 76 evaluations, changing only the first name. 19 of each: White-associated men/women, Black-associated men/women. console.typesafe.ai/playground?s...

Meri @meri.garden · 16/09/2026

exploring future Roomy appserver architecture - cool to learn this queuing theory model for service utilisation, how wait time blows up hyperbolically even under constant service time which is really unintuitive to me, but it's because of requests arrive at random/Poisson intervals

Claude-generated interactive diagram showing three sliders with
Arrival rate λ
10 req/s
Mean service time
95 ms
Variability Cs²
0.0

then some outputs:

Utilization ρ

95%

Avg wait in queue

902.5 ms

Avg time in system

997.5 ms

Avg number waiting

9.02

then a graph with y axis avg wait in queue (ms) from 0 to 1600, and x axis with utilization (%) from 0 to 100. hyperbolic/exp-shaped curve blowing up towards 100 labelled wait time vs utilization at current Cs^2. A dot with current setting (95% utilisation, 902.5ms wait)

I'm incredibly proud to be at this point after about a year of saying we will start selling subscriptions: finally, I can honestly say this is software that I love using every day, something that adds value to my life, something I think is worth paying for to make available to your community.

one of my least favourite leftist trends is people deciding on some moral stance as an individual and then telling people if they disagree they are ‘crossing a picket line’ there’s something so neoliberal about conflating an organised workplace with ~online vibes~

You've heard all about credible-exit, but what about credible purpose-orientation? We've long talked big about our ambitions for @roomy.space as a community-owned venture. Today we take a very concrete step towards reifying our lofty schemes by becoming a member of @modalfoundation.eurosky.social

Hello folks! This is an experimental post from our Roomy space's own ATProto account. ✍️ Crazy cool that each Roomy space now has an ATProto account. We've just got to hook up more features so you can use it.

what strikes me is that this is a localised example of how fash messaging is effective right now: explicitly targeting and welcoming people who feel political ambivalence (for recruitment purposes) I see a lot of leftists doing the opposite which is a losing strategy

• Format & Punctuation: Minimal capitalization, trailing ellipses, and a healthy dose of @ or lowercase realization.
Sample Posts
• still can't believe we are expected to function as a society before my second espresso shot has even been processed by my liver
• my @roomy.space roadmap for today: 1. pretend | understand state resolution 2. get distracted by a nice piece of DWeb theory 3. coffee
• thinking about how the risk we are actually sleeping on is just writing more code to avoid going outside

I got into tech six years ago because I figured I could have an outsized impact on making a less harmful, more empowering world for workers and marginalised people. Only this year, I started connecting IRL with people who think this way. Here I tried to write about the ways that's transformed me.
