I'm thinking there should be a GPLv4 that explicitly forbids using your source code for training AI.

"Days Gone" is a damned good game, and I'm ashamed I judged it based on its "white-guy biker, so meh" vibe. Yeah. That's definitely the vibe. But it's much better than that. To the point there are moments of wokeness. And the horde battles are some of the best console gaming around.

So, yes. The correct response, Yes. That, or you yourself are raging racist and misogynist. Guessing both.

#NMS So, took the PS4 offline and installed the original version of No Man's Sky. Holy cow, I'd forgotten what an empty universe it was. I really loved the game from the first time I played it, but it's a totally different beast now. SOOOO much better. @hellogamesofficial.bsky.social

Hot take: Claude code is junior at best. And that's when you give it a simple ticket.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Just a privacy reminder: turn off WiFi network on your TV. If it works fine now, you don't need those updates. But WalMart (e.g.) needs those snapshots of what you are watching/playing for extra revenue. In my experience over the last couple of years, updates just fuck up the viewing experience.

A friend told me she needed some PKIs for a February report. She asked the data team for those PKIs. The numbers she got back were hinkey. They used AI to get the data. She asked for the raw data. "Only luddites use Excel anymore," they said. AI is turning people into useless fucking idiots.

Hey, #WritingCommunity, what do you use for version control? I'm a software developer, so I just use git. I use LyX for my editor, giving a plain-TeX (pun intended) doc format, so I can use git features like cherry-picking; it makes sense. Wouldn't work for binaries as well. So what do you use?

Grew up in Southeast Alaska, but our feed was from CBC. Sure, we got MASH and All In The Family (which probably explains why I am the liberal I am today), but we also got things like Beachcombers. This show was unique, and very few shows can claim its pedigree.

"After deep reflection and with the support of my loving family..." I have seen this many times in my life. Every time it is to elide harm done by the one posting, most often (but not entirely) by a GOP member. She set herself *on fire*. I will not ever forget that. And neither should you.

This isn't something to be posted almost daily, like "God Is A Bullet," but is now appropriate. Considered posting the original Dylan version, but decided gospel-infused version more appropriate.

Reminder: Throw Momma From The Train is a Rob Reiner movie. Not because he directed it (Danny DeVito did that), but because he has one of the best cameos ever.

The idea of AI emitting binaries instead of source is the most bone-headed idea pretty much all time. First, it's a tragic waste of resources. Compilers are efficient and deterministic. AI is orders of magnitude less efficient. Creating binaries for different targets is a huge inefficiency. 1/2

Oh, no! I'm so surprised. ICE agents inflict violence and then *lie* about it? Like cops have been doing for the entire existence of copping? Eliminate the entire agency and hold public trials for these motherfuckers.

After 1469 days of uptime, I finally upgraded paperdove.org from Debian 9 to Debian 13. Also, I re-provisioned the service, so I have 4 times the RAM and SSD for the same price. Now to set up Apache/Nginx and Postgres. I used to love sysadmin stuff. Not so much anymore.

If she wants to pretend to be soldier, maybe should join US Marines and be real soldier. Why have weapons in press conference, anyway? Just looks silly.

Took a coding challenge for an interview today. Gotta say, not a fan. First two were pretty easy, with obvious simple elegant solutions. Third question had simple solution, but was not elegant. I get that; see what applicant knows about engineering. Don't fall for simple solution. Did simple.

Hey. Society is defined by what we allow. What we, as a group, are willing to accept. We can choose to allow harm, or we can choose to prosecute those who harm. Society is what we decide it is.

There are limits we imagine, and there are limits actualized. You might think there is a limit when a paramilitary force shoots a woman stone-cold in her face. You might imagine a national backlash so severe, there is immediate lashback. The murderer held accountable. A national reflection. Nah.
