It's been a while but the recording of the English version of my talk at @tdose earlier this year is finally online!

It's my first time in English and I had to shorten it in 15 min. You can notice it I fear, at one point I even made a mistake mispronouncing VPN as VPS. I felt so dumb hearing that 😬. Oh dear... Well, gotta start somewhere, in general the story is there and knowledge is shared 😅.

Watch it here:

Trying to remember what it was I was listening to last week and thinking "I should buy this on Bandcamp Friday". I THINK it was "Mercy" by Armand Hammer.

PS it's Bandcamp Friday.

소변은 참으면 방광 => 콩팥 으로 무리가 오고 수분이 주성분이라 15-20분 이 지나면 질병 게이지가 한개씩 올라간다고 생각하시면 됩니다.
대변은 타이밍을 놓치면 내분비에 더해 소화기에 큰 문제가 생기기 때문에 규칙적인 배변 습관이 중요합니다.

is progressing nicely. The mobile app now receives all notifications from the Fediverse, follows and unfollows work properly, and you can compose posts. The menu gives access to lists, bookmarks, filters and followed tags. Display settings offer different view modes depending on what you want to browse, all from a single account. Relay server code will be available in a few days. Feel free to bother @holos_dev, it's there for testing.

people can argue about whether ai breaks copyright for the individual works that it reproduces in the slurry, but the truth is if it wasn't for the hard work of actual human artists writers coders etc you wouldn't see anything at all after you typed in that prompt

I'm routinely impressed by the work The Ocean Cleanup (and critically their local partners!) is doing.

Having less plastic in the oceans seems like an insurmountable problem, but they're trying. I think they work they're doing on very polluted rivers is key, and interesting. It's a lot easier to stop plastic from getting into the ocean than it is to sweep it out later.

Rozhodnutí o Eurovizi je pro Izraelce významné nejen kvůli hudbě. Soutěž sleduje každý rok přes 150 milionů lidí, kterým země může ukázat jinou než válečnou tvář. Nově schválená pravidla ale mají zabránit vládám, aby zástupcům svých zemí dělaly takovou kampaň, jakou dělá právě Izrael. 🧵2/2

Irská, nizozemská, slovinská a španělská televize odmítly účast v oblíbené hudební soutěži Eurovize, ve které zůstane zástupce Izraele. Evropská vysílací unie, která show zaštiťuje, včera schválila změny pravidel. O vyloučení Izraele ale nakonec nerozhodovala. 🧵1/2

I'm SO happy with how my talk was produced for 2025! The intro by Ariane Djeaupang was fantastic and the slick animated title was awesome!

Have a watch here and learn how Python devs (yes, even backend devs) can help out with on the web.

In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.

I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.

As someone who has been an artist before,
and had my hard work stolen by billionaires without compensation and my copyright violated against my consent,

I cannot tell you how much rage and disgust I feel inside every single time I see a genAI image. I'm guessing many other artists feel the same. Please keep it out of my sight at least.

@Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified:

I did a short thread this morning about the fact that blocking scraper bots entirely will also block the two biggest search engines.

It particularly hits home at the moment because I'm seriously stressing about pricing my work and whether, even if I get the pricing right, I will be able to make any of it pay for itself. Meanwhile literal trillionaires feel like they can take my work and do what they want with it.

If I am ever made emperor, they will be sentenced to life of hard labor picking up trash on the roadside or cleaning up toxic waste.

In the meantime, I block people who post machine generated crap.
