The whole poetry/prompt thing is a good reminder: just because a claim sounds like it would bolster a prior belief doesn't make it true. It's all too easy, and I am very guilty of this, to let your guard down around things that reinforce narratives I already believe.
(There's a subtle distinction with Bayesian-style priors that's worth exploring.)
But like, here, we *know* LLMs suck, we know why. We don't need to fall for hoaxes and propaganda to bolster that.
Kennt jemand gute TOTP Hardware, die man fรผr die Arbeit haben mรถchte? Mir geht es ein wenig auf den Keks mein privates Smartphone fรผr die ganzen Codes verwenden zu mรผssen.
Wรคre cool, wenn das Ding mit mehreren Accounts gleichzeitig umgehen kรถnnte z.B. AWS, Azure, Github, Dockerhub, etc.
Soweit ich das verstanden habe kรถnnen die meisten Devices (Thales, Feitian) nur ein Secret, daher fรคllt es mir schwer was zu finden. Oder hab ich da was falsch verstanden?

I desperately avoid keeping any contact info on my phone, as it's so often slurped up in various ways. I also wipe all conversations frequently as standard digital hygiene. Thus, I get a lot of texts from (000) 555-1212 and I have absolutely no idea who it is, so I try to infer from the text content with .. uh.. varying levels of success.
I get #Pixelfed is perhaps not the most intuitive and user friendly when using it as your daily photo blog site, compared to other (more popular) #SocialMedia photo apps.
I am quite ok with the (awkward) "friction". I need it, it's good, but every day that bugs and quirks are not addressed / fixed is another day I get closer to using #Mastodon for my daily photo blog.
Seriously, what's going on with Collections? Does anyone know why they are borked?

I have a side project baking app for which I'm adding federation. I'm pretty far from full #ActivityPub implementation (it's a side project), but I'm pretty excited about the potential.
Should I present it at #FOSDEM anyway?

We have an RFQ from a potential customer, one of their questions is:
If the platform uses machine learning specifically against data relating to a person, to what extent has bias and ethics been considered for relevance by the supplier?
I appreciate the nature of this question a great deal!

It's official: I've started research for my next book!
The Hammers book told the story of how we got here. The new book is about what comes next. It will be forward-looking, presenting a pragmatic philosophical framework to inspire and guide us in building our post-dystopian futures.
The plan is to release it for free under a Creative Commons license, packaged for download in a variety of formats including a standalone website.
This one is too important for a $60 paywall.
