I think that infertile trans women should be permitted paternity leave to work on their sprawling, self-indulgent twine games about non-penetrative sex and institutional trauma

laziness is a virtue in programming. but curiosity is also a virtue. what I see happening is incurious laziness.

the fact that LLM use is more rampant in software development compared to seemingly any other industry is probably a sign that most programmers don't have moral standards and never did

“… a new disruptive transport technology is rapidly changing cities across the rich world. It is highly energy-efficient, costs almost nothing, reduces congestion and pollution, and obviates the need for huge car parks. Yet it is not the self-driving electric car, as tech moguls and car industry executives imagined. Rather, it is the humble bicycle.”

An excellent thread here. So much of what I see people pointing to as LLM's benefits for coding relates to long-standing problems in software engineering that the field just hasn't addressed. And LLMs don't solve these problems, at best the just paper them over and make dealing with them less tedious -- while reinforcing the problematic dynamics.

So yes it's great that people with no programming skills can create software to solve their prolems. But if we had collectively spent a chunk of the literally billions of dollars that are going to "AI" building on the early approaches to this from 25+ years ago (Hyperscript, Logo) that don't have the same downsides, we'd be in a much better place today.

En mastodon se habla del auge de las pamelas para este verano. Y una amiga de Collverd se ha apuntado.

:frogblush:

This summer Pamelas are back to the menú.

the thing is, nothing is stopping us from going back and doing things properly.

for instance, the whole 80s thing of distributed, shared-nothing computing is still up for grabs. it wasn't pursued outside of research labs because it was hard and not backwards compatible, but now even our microcontrollers have multiple cores, it's ripe for revisiting - especially as it turns out that the most signficant feature of shared-everything SMP is how easy it makes side-channel attacks

@ricci (copied and slightly edited from our DMs earlier) seems like a pretty comprehensive resource¹.

I've always thought that tags on Mastodon don't work as expected (when coming from an attention-economy-based social platform), but they work as I would hope (when coming from a community-building perspective).

One of the perks of the way tags work on Fedi normally, is that I see the tagged posts *as curated by my communities*.

A great example is searching for slurs or tags that trolls like to use to find victims.

Take the #Trans hashtag—the examples on Mastodon.social are mostly degrading porn or political threats to our existence, whereas on LGBTQIA.space they're mostly affirming posts, news, and community posts, while the ones on theFword are a mix of trans news and self-posted nudes.

Getting *all the posts* often isn't ideal for marginalized communities. We curate our experience here because the rest of the world can be so hostile to us. Almost all of us have fled places like Twitter because the discoverability and amplification that those with privilege love so much actively make the user experience worse for vulnerable groups.

I think of Fedi more like a local community. You meet a few people, you have some chats, you get introduced to others through mutual friends, you follow the conversations and topics that your community talks about. Statistics tell us that a queer meetup likely won't be improved by blindly inviting people...you'll just end up with a straight meetup.

I managed an e-commerce server for about ten years. It grew from a small local shop into a major national business, even handling international orders. They expanded to the point where they reduced their local brick-and-mortar store hours because the bulk of their revenue was coming from online sales.

Then one seller came along and convinced them that switching to Shopify would be the key to growing even further. Apparently, their €130/month bare-metal redundant setup - which boasted a calculated uptime of 99.995% over 10 years - just wasn't cutting it anymore.

They’ve been on Shopify for about six months now, and every now and then, I still get the alerts. I left the monitoring active via Uptime Kuma and ran the numbers. Over the last six months, their uptime dropped below 98%.
In other words, in just six months, they’ve been down for almost as many hours as they were during the entire previous decade.

I contacted the client - not because I want to take over the hosting again, but just to understand what on earth happened (we're on excellent terms). Their response was: "We don't know, but if it happened on Shopify, it means it was bound to happen anyway."

As long as we keep swallowing the lie that "the cloud" and "tech giants" are always the right solution for us, we completely deserve the cloud and the tech giants.

The Fediverse is a great size right now. It will be a great size at half its current size or twice its current size.

Growth obsession is a colonial mindset. Burn it out of your mind.
