The new Naked Gun trailer looks like it might be OK, but I'm concerned by the blood spatter when Liam Neeson is beating up the bank robber. Naked Gun is cartoonish. You don't need blood spatter, you need comical sound effects.

I'm interested to read about the history of the Amiga, from when it was set to be an Atari computer through development and launch to the first years after release. Any good articles or books?

Final weekly update on what I’ve dubbed “The Foreign Interference Federal Election.”

Starting with Andrew Scheer’s barroom blurt, covering the burger poll, a golden bromance, more sloganeering, a rocking endorsement, something fishy, and another projection (no, not the polling kind).

Seriously, though - how did the parties answer five questions about the environment. I’ve got a summary.

語言學其實蠻有趣的，
一個詞彙在不同語言可能本身就帶有一些特殊的語感，這是翻譯也很難翻出來的。

例如computer原本是指從事計算工作的人，在類比計算器剛發明時還要用electric computer去跟表示職業的computer做區分。而現在computer這個詞在英文語感裡只有計算、運算，浪漫點頂多帶點思考的成分。然而在中文界翻譯的「電腦」，多了一層「以電氣運作的賽博腦袋」的語感，其實這個譯詞以現在的標準來看也是不可思議的前衛與先進。

Ok, I guess a #introduction is in order no? Hazelwood based delivery driver, if'n you want to spot me, just look for a Chevy Bolt with the plate BOXEN (a result of me speaking like Corben Dallas). This account at least initially will be use for testing interaction between Mastodon and #friendica , as well as providing a back up should our Friendica instance go down. Will get my profile set up in a bit.

Hackers' Pub에도 팀 계정 같은 걸 만들어야 하나 싶은 생각이 가끔 드는데… 이를테면 현재로서는 Hackers' Pub 공식 계정을 깔끔하게 만들 방법이 떠오르지 않는다. 안 쓰는 메일 주소로 새 계정을 파는 식으로 해야 하는데, 별로 그런 식으로 풀고 싶지가 않다.

I will be streaming over at https://www.twitch.tv/glyph_official/ in a bit less than 21 hours, i.e. at 10AM US/Pacific on 4/22. Come on by tomorrow and comment on my #Python code, or perhaps learn something about #Emacs.

@kate just to be pedantic, the second person may not be trans - or maybe you know them?

I know a couple personally where the husband transitioned, for a while I think their marriage became null and void until gay marriage became legal. Anyway AFAIK they're still happily married - I guess I wonder if the pictured people are a couple, one of whom transitioned, and the second sign is specifically about the change also having been beautiful for the partner.

Probably not lol, but was a nice memory!

It’s our last night in #London. We’re not at a pub. We’re laying in our hotel room, exhausted, ordering delivery from Roti King.

@aralAral Balkan @annaDr. Anna Latour this is our second Roti King this trip 😂

@aralAral Balkan @annaDr. Anna Latour we visited Makan Cafe yesterday as well and the Portobello market right outside was such a treat!

Nasi Padang off the buffet was absolutely perfect. Takes me right back to Singapore.

Mastodon has been the greatest gateway into the rubber world for me ever, and I will forever be thankful for this incredible opportunity to become what I love here. But even so there's one shortcoming of this site which seems to be making it more difficult for me to meet more shiny critters, the lack of a PM feature.

What other sites do people use that can generate better interaction and conversations? While I wholeheartedly appreciate everything here, the lack of PM's is sorely lacking for me.

I've been reflecting lately on projects like @fedifyFedify: ActivityPub server framework, @holloHollo , and @botkitBotKit by Fedify . Sometimes I wonder if I'm solving problems that very few people actually need solved. How many developers truly want to build their own #ActivityPub server from scratch?

It feels a bit like inventing shoes that let people walk on their hands all day. Would there be a viable market? How many would actually buy them?

That's the sense I get with these projects. They do have users who find them tremendously valuable, but the total user base is inherently limited. The tools serve an important function for a small audience of specialized developers.

There are moments when my motivation wavers. When the user community consists of just a handful of enthusiastic supporters, it's sometimes difficult to maintain momentum and justify the ongoing investment of time and energy.

And yet, there's something meaningful about creating specialized tools that solve complex problems well, even if they're only used by a few. Perhaps that's enough.

@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) it would be a useful check for all servers. /.well-known/hostmeta.json per RFC 6415 is probably a good candidate, but /.well-known/health or something similar could also work.

Mark Zuckerberg once suggested spinning out Instgram as a solution to its ‘cannibalization’ of Facebook https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/21/mark-zuckerberg-once-suggested-spinning-out-instgram-as-a-solution-to-its-cannibalization-of-facebook/

The men who have been subject to Trump's version of extraordinary rendition must be returned to the U.S. - period. This action was UNCONSTITUTIONAL and violated domestic and international laws. It is a human rights abuse, perpetrated by the US gov't.

It doesn't matter if they are "innocent" or "guilty" - EVERYONE on US soil is subject to the laws of the land - including the right to Due Process.

현재의 이른바 “에이전틱” 코딩 어시스턴트들은 종래의 정적 분석 기술을 활용하지 못하는데, 아마도 머지 않은 미래에 둘이 결합될 날이 올 것 같긴 하다. 다시 말해, 애초에 LLM이 컴파일조차 안 되는 코드를 뱉지는 못하게 할 수 있을 거라고 생각한다. 그 때가 되면 정말 평균적인 사람 프로그래머가 이룰 수 있는 품질의 코드를 내놓을 수 있지 않을까? 컴파일도 되고, 겉보기에는 잘 돌아가지만, 몇몇 코너 케이스에서는 여전히 깨지는… 그럼 그때는 또 LLM이 QA도 하고 코드 리뷰도 해서 고치는 미래가…!?

So many people that like my contributions to Mastodon on an almost regular basis who don't follow me. Change that, please. This can be my replacement for Facebook. But not with this following.

Rumors are they got post editing, GIF uploads and foot massages.

you might say being verified has its perks 😎

I swear the @changelog feels like to LLM/AI newsletter these days instead of the "cool stuff happening in open source" newsletter.
