JFC. I need to vent. Mastodon saves my job, part eleventy.

I'm sat in a fucking "leadership" meeting listening to some asshole yap about "fun moments at shift change" and "themed dress up day" and it's fucking obvious that her remit is "anything but proper remuneration and benefits".

All this bullshit to avoid treating people as human beings.

Cunts.

One advantage traditional blogging has over Mastodon-style microblogging is that it can be easier to find your own posts on an actual blog, for the purpose of preserving your own knowledge / remembering your past. On a real blog you have more power to organize your posts for discoverability, and more ways to improve search.

Perhaps this boils down to it being easier to customize an independent blog.

Look, I know AI is controversial, but just for a moment, let's set aside our preconceived notions, our biases, the environmental impact, the massive cost to train and run models, the labor exploitation, the intellectual property theft, the inaccuracies, the mania it causes in users, the destruction of search, the deskilling of professionals, the devaluation of creative work, job losses, and lack of economic value from enterprise implementations.

Wait, what were we talking about?

fedi PSA, spam, mutual aid scam

PSA: there's a new spam campaign hitting fedi, this one claims to be raising money for insulin and usually has a banner saying "black lives matter" or another progressive slogan.

You can recognize it in the usual ways:
1. Brand-new accounts doing nothing but ask for money.
2. Cold-messaging strangers with personal requests for a boost or donation.
3. Identical or near-identical accounts appearing all over fedi, primarily on open-registration instances.

If you see these accounts or get pinged by them, don't panic! Just report the profile and let your moderators handle it. The image below is an example of what to look out for.

Update: the spammers have adjusted their format a bit, see these posts for details:

-

Update 2: This particular round of spam also has a new trick, which is immediately blocking remote instance staff after they create an account. Fortunately, this does not prevent them from being reported! Just continue to report as usual, and moderators can view the content through their report UI (on Mastodon / Akkoma) or by switching accounts (on Misskey / Sharkey).

Screenshot of a profile for Loy (transloy@mstdn.social) that is 10 minutes old. The profile is a dark-skinned woman wearing a face mask, glasses, and a flannel shirt. The bio reads:
BLM✊🏿🌈🏳️‍⚧️ KHAEMBA NEEDS HELP FOR INSULIN TO SURVIVE($105/$300

:
I'm very grateful for everyone who has interacted and donated so far and I hope to raise the full amount today so I can administer my insulin as time is running out I'm calling for a community aid to help me get insulin because the healthcare system failed me😢

海賊版サイトを作成した人が、TorやらカスタムROMについて解説する動画(少し説明が間違っていたりする)が、数十万再生されているけど、やはりマーケティングが上手いのだろうね。

マニアックなチャンネルは存在したけど、分かりやすく解説するアプローチをしているチャンネルは少なかったので。

아 9월부터 강의를 합니다 (교수가 되었습니다). 무슨 과목을 맡게될지는 모르겠지만 꿈에 그리던 기깔난... 마치 IoT로 도배된 집과도 같은 강의를 해보겠습니다 기대해주세요. 그리고 언젠가 이 경험들이 쌓여서 파이콘에서라도 발표하면 좋겠네요.

그동안 웹 백엔드 따로, 프론트엔드 따로 만들어서 인스턴스 2개에 올리는 느낌으로 작업했는데... 지금 목표는 뿅 하면 웹사이트가 생기는거라서 compose도 빼버리고, 도커 이미지 하나에 전부 때려박아서 정말 딱 이 이미지 하나만 ECS 같은데에라도 올리면 짠 하고 곧바로 돌아가게끔 하고 있는 중. 앞으로 이걸로 온갖 강의 보조도구(퀴즈 사이트 등)를 만들 예정.

Leute, ich versteh's nicht.
Wie kann das bitte sein, dass das Zuverlässigste an einer so kurzen Fernverkehrsstrecke wie Zürich-München die Verspätung ist? Und wie kommt man überhaupt auf die Idee, einen nicht unerheblichen Teil einer EuroCity-Strecke EINGLEISIG zu bauen?

Jede Strasse in München hat im Schnitt gefühlt vier mal so viele Spuren.

Und dann grosse Raumfahrtpläne machen.
, echt eh…

Setting aside copyright/commercial/other aspects, a thought about writing blog posts that LLMs train on. When people write posts, they (a) feel good about helping others, and (b) hope to get some credit and visibility for doing so.

When mediated through LLMs, no longer the satisfaction that your consumer is a human (who might comment, thank, share, etc.); nor the cred that comes from people remembering the author, posting on HN, etc.

That is, it totally destroys the incentive structure.
