[“AI”] If the AI bubble could have the decency to pop right around the time I come back from paternity leave, that would be much appreciated, thanks!

@q Contrast that to the RBB where I got told off for using the Paternoster lift without a “Paternosterführerschein”. Didn’t help that I started laughing at what I was sure was a joke. It wasn’t.

Being #vegan in Norway is frustrating. Things weren’t great when I moved here in 2017, especially coming from Berlin, but started to look really promising around 2020. But that didn’t stick and we’re pretty much back to where we were nine years ago. Now I can no longer find yogurt at my local […]

it's part of the general trend of making UIs more "accommodating" and "intuitive" with machine learning. I don't want machine-learning interfaces, I want people-learning interfaces. give me a mostly-intuitive syntax with _rules_ that people can _learn_, that we can get good at and adapt to and […]

@ketanjoshi.co In fairness, and I hate to say this, someone deciding to hand the nuclear launch codes to an LLM doesn’t feel like an entirely improbable scenario in this timeline.

Anyone from #Germany here? I'm just really curios about how much #balkonkraftwerk there really is over there. Do you see them a lot in your daily life? Are there some streets or neighbourhoods where they're everywhere? Would love to see a photo of such a street, if so.

I just used the letter x instead of a multiplication sign × in an email because I didn’t want to risk it looking like it had been written by an LLM. This sucks.

Fuck’s sake. What is the least awful replacement for 1Password then? Not fashtech, ideally not all-in on slop, with ok cross-platform support for Linux, macOS, iOS. FOSS a bonus but honestly not a requirement at this point. mastodon.social/@glyph/117191802336…

Shame on 1Password. I am a long time user, i like the product, but ever since their first crypto partnership I've been nervous about recommending them. Apparently not nervous enough. https://omarchy.org/news/2026/08/1password-and-37signals-become-distinguished-corporate-patrons/

[Slop, death] I suppose people mourn in all sorts of different ways, but I can’t for the life of me put myself in the mindset of someone for whom mourning means getting “AI” to slop out a condolence poster for a deceased king.
A sea of flowers, candles and Norwegian flags. In the middle, there is a printed, framed poster about King Harald V that looks superficially professional but with no thought put into it.

Same energy.
Screenshot of an email addressed to me by the Norwegian directorate for foreign nationals. The email starts “Hei, du har fått norsk statsborgerskap”, translated: “Hello, you have been granted Norwegian citizenship”Birthday Party scene from the TV show The Office. A drab meeting room with beige walls decorated with a white paper garland held up with masking tape and a banner that reads “It is your birthday” in all-caps black-on-white Arial.

Som norsk-tysker er jeg forresten utrolig imponert over det norske byråkratiets effektivitet. UDI oppgir en behandlingstid på 20 måneder, så jeg hadde ikke akkurat forventet å få svar fem dager etter at jeg leverte dokumentene hos politiet. På en lørdag. Dagen etter at kongen døde.

I dag er jeg blitt nordmann. 🇳🇴
Utlendingsdirektoratet (UDI) innvilger søknaden din om norsk statsborgerskap
Det betyr at
- du nå er norsk statsborger
- du kan søke om norsk pass ved ditt lokale passkontor
- du kan stemme ved stortingsvalg (hvis du er over 18 år)
- du ikke lenger har eller trenger oppholdstillatelse i Norge

@fm_volker I really can’t recommend the Entur app enough. Tickets and timetables for most almost the entire country and they let you buy a ticket in advance and have it activate at the scheduled departure time.

@fm_volker The bike logistics are something we’ll have to figure out. I’ll probably go with a second child seat on my longtail bike because a bike trailer is inconvenient where we live, but I’m not sure what I’ll do with my panniers then.

[eupol] Our European values at work nileane.fr/@nileane/116770465153447…
nileane.fr
Niléane (@nileane@nileane.fr)
Attached: 1 video This bill adopted by an alliance of the right and the far right in European Parliament is an absolute disaster for human rights. Under these new rules: • Refugees could be deported and detained for up to 30 months in detention centers (“return hubs”) located in Rwanda, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. Even if they have never even set foot in those countries. • Children could now be detained and deported alongside adults, also for up to 30 months, including if they are without family. • Raids could be allowed to target homes, hospitals, and even places of worship. With extended authority for seizing documents, imposing fines, and sending refugees to regular old jail in some member states. And again, remember: this bill — heavily inspired by Trump’s ICE methods — exists only because the right teamed up with the far right. And together, when they won the vote in Parliament, they clapped and chanted “Send them back”
