developer who i used to respect is once again diagnosing a chatbot with CPTSD and it's hard for me to express how disgusting and dehumanising that is

it's hard enough to get mental health (and CPTSD) taken seriously when it's actual humans suffering, but these llm adherents seem to think it's fine to just trivialise these terms and psychoanalyse chatbots

you know what, i'm not even going to subtweet. @fasterthanlime this is embarrasing and this is shameful.

simon willison is such an astroturfing piece of shit i swear to god

hey does anybody want a framework 13, ryzen 7840U? moving on from it for Obvious Reasons but if there's anybody in my network who could benefit from it feel free to reach out

haven't decided on a price yet, would like it to go to somebody who doesn't have the means to purchase something new, can be flexible

i should have dropped 1password when they started adding ai but i didn't, now they're sponsoring omarchy so they gotta go.

anybody have recommendations for cloud password managers? i'm spoiled, don't think i can go back to syncing my database manually.

proton pass seems alright?

bro how does that neovim dude live in berlin with an attitude like that??

was considering nixos for a new computer, but saw that it's slopped up now, so i'm considering guix.

i've got a fair amount of nonfree software i want to run however, so i'm not sure how i feel about that.

anybody have thoughts/feelings about guix? how's running nonfree software, how's writing/wrapping builds?

hey does anybody have a rec for a good employment lawyer based in the UK (Scotland in particular)?

got a friend in a bind out there, trying to help them out

@david_chisnall hey, i saw on lobsters you were talking about hiring more people in "a few months".

do you post about this here on fedi? i would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

@andrewrk coming full circle and working on a daw again, huh? ;)

@glyph hey! your pomodoro app (which i always misspell) is really intriguing, but i only have a linux computer and i can't fully wrap my head around how it works.

is there a demo video somewhere, or a writeup, or?

i almost used this other vid as the release announcement but it's a little too wild and quick. i still like it though :>

hey folks, i released a new (commercial) plugin over the weekend. it's a multiband transient shaper.

win/mac/linux, clap/vst2/vst3/auv2

really proud of this one. personally, it feels like using a really nifty EQ, and i find myself using it on tons of stuff in a track, including guitars and various synth basses.

hey folks! been a little bit since i did an #introduction and a fair amount has changed since my previous one.

i'm an american expat (grew up in ohio) living in rotterdam, NL (previously was in utrecht, and berlin). my main gig is writing audio software – largely plugin fx and synths.

i also write and produce electronic music (lately drum&bass, but make ambient/downtempo too).
