Anyone know anyone in Glasgow that does audio equipment repairs/mods that actually exists? Wanna get my tape machines serviced and one of them modded to work better with loops and the last place I reached out to didn't so much as ghost me as delete their entire website 💀

Quick questions for #Playdate users: Do you usually play indoors or outdoors? Do you use headphones or just the speaker? Do you prefer games with short or long play sessions?

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

I picked this up today, not because I have the means to really enjoy it, but because I want it to exist. It actually runs well on my ancient PC, but I think it would play amazingly in an arcade (sit down racing) cab. Just to enjoy the process of shifting gears on a uninterrupted winding road 🥰

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

The uncomfortable truth about why genAI is permeating programming communities is that they're dominated by dudes focused on end results and short term gains, with little regard for the craft, ethics, or the humanities. AI isn't better at code than prose, guys in the industry simply just care less.

Hey @maelcornic.bsky.social I'm looking to use an oak board for the tabletop of this project, any recommendations for finishing? It's expected to take a lot of (ab)use in its service as a kitchen table. Preferably something that doesn't turn it yellow or red 😅

Pissing myself at this section
For this reason, our team has quickly learned while on an engagement not to ask anything about ongoing AI projects in any context – by the time that project has started, it is too late for the management team, and intervention is not possible until a crisis point is inevitably reached. There is no conceivable positive outcome. The failure rate is so high that even basic inquiry leaves us in an untenable position. Any coherent question about how it’s going, what the goal is, who is using it, constitutes an inadvertent attack on the chain of command responsible for the work because there are no good answers to anything. Even in rare cases where my interlocutor has stated that things are going well (usually while the project is still mid-flight and failure has not had a chance to manifest), it is generally obvious that they are doomed, but at least in these cases I can simply agree and then go home to scream into a pillow for six hours straight.3

Doing a bit of hardware musical chairs today, replacing my overpowered PiHole (Lenovo M910q) with my son's old Kano tablet (custom-ish raspi 3 minus Ethernet). The tablet has been unused for years. Finally figured out how to get the screen working with a standard Linux OS, just took a few hours 😅.
Kano (kids diy) tablet sitting on the floor with cables around it. The tablet is running a standard Raspberry Pi OS (Trixie) instead of the custom Kano OS.
The tablet has some stickers on the edges of the screen.
