The most depressing ad this year depicts a content creator saying how it can be kinda lonely, but not after they've "hired" N Grok Bots. We can't be letting people who are already socially isolated fall deeper into this shit, and the "hiring" wording is so problematic. How do we fix this?

So ICE agents are getting fired before their probationary periods are up and are having to repay the $50,000 signing bonus. I love this for them.

When I gave my keynote last week about community defense in Minnesota, someone from Ukraine came up to me afterward and said thank you for talking about what it’s like to be under attack and fight back, because most people can’t relate. I wish we couldn’t, but hey Ukrainian friends: we see you.

It is frustrating trying to be an honest, considerate, hardworking person, when many signs indicate it is much more lucrative right now to be a liar and a grifter with no moral core or ethical framework for daily life. I just hope these people eventually get what they deserve.

Hello from a ~12yr old Macbook Pro, though it's not running MacOS. Still does everything I need - 6hrs of battery, browser apps, development, screen recording at 1080 without dropped frames. You don't need new hardware every 1-5 years. You are lazy and purchasing things makes you feel good. Why?

Here's how to deal with incompetent AI chatbots; a live example, taken from my recent chat with Ally's bot: Bot: "I got my wires crossed. Can you try asking me in a different way?" Me: "No" Bot: "I'll pass the chat to a human associate who can help you." This is the way.

Quite happily running #FreeBSD 15.0 on my 2015 Macbook Pro Don't get me wrong, Discord in Firefox definitely feels like I'm on a decade+ old machine. Audio from Pandora never skips though, and Bluesky feels smooth to me most of the time. DWM and Kitty run more than well enough with picom.

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled “U.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

Don't let anyone scare you from running your own email server. Is it work to set up and maintain? Yes. It's nowhere near the doom and gloom hassle I've heard others purport though. Most of the effort is front loaded. If you feel motivated to do it, and you understand the upkeep needed, go for it.

Re-posting this because I saw a headline today where some tech oligarch was bloviating about whether the chatbots are conscious or not. Wrong question. The correct question is ‘why do we need tech oligarchs?’

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary. It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

I know this is the wrong crowd for this but, I have an important test that I apply to new technologies that people think are going to fix everything. I ask "how does this help with the housing crisis?" Invariably (so far) it does not.

I still think many Americans have no idea how bad this is going to get. I saw President Obama reposting a tepid, mealy-mouthed analysis by Ezra Klein—who's never seen a phenomenon he couldn't be 5 years late in incompetently circumscribing—and I felt like we don't have what it takes to survive this.
