Whoops, I made a mistake in my blog post and my explanation for how the smoke detector works was completely backwards 🫣 Should have double checked my assumptions....

Thanks @ClickyMcTicker and @lapoLapo Luchini for pointing it out!

I don't see any problem here.

Watching in sadness as a software dev buys entirely into vibe coding. They literally don’t read code any more; they prompt and run and test and commit, only fixing issues as they bump into them. Holy shit.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell if it hasn’t already been mentioned, Cory Doctorow @pluralisticCory Doctorow has been presenting a great proposal for how smaller nations can hit the US power base where it hurts (while helping their own people) by taking advantage of Trump’s destruction of free trade treaties: treaties that locked the world into using monopolized American tech. The locks are gone now.

Doctorow’s recent talk on the new possibility of a post-American Internet: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-american-enshittification-resistant-internet#t=9

Thanks to Roy Tam, John Elliot and Microsoft OEM Adaptation kit, I managed to convert Windows 3 fonts to a format that Windows 1 display driver I'm using for this port can understand.

The font comes from Windows 3, but the pixel data is Windows 1 FNT, and it is stored in Windows 2 FON container created by Windows 2 RC.EXE

@cheeaunChee Aun 🤔 Does Phanpy let people quote posts and add attachments? I thought Mastodon didn't allow that.

If you use an AI-generated image for your article/post, this indicates to me you might have also used AI-generated text.

If you use AI-generated text for your article/post then:

1- I have no idea if you verified the veracity of any claimed facts.

2- I have no idea what your own voice is.

3- I have no idea if this truly expresses your own views, and if you even cared to read it.

4- I have no idea what your intention is with this, other than exploiting my attention and clicks with the least amount of efforts on your part.

5- This shows me you have no respect at all for the labour that was stolen to build these tools, exploiting millions of artists and writers to make billions of dollars without any compensation to them whatsoever.

Why would I want to engage with any content like that?

• I don't want to communicate with a machine (I can do that by myself).

• I don't want to participate in this disgusting exploitation of artists and writers.

• And I want to communicate with another human, of course.

If your intention isn't to communicate with another human, then stop deceiving them making them think they are

i wish the tool was somehow more proactive about keeping the DAG in a good shape since it's one of most important project assets. i actually wouldn't mind spending time having convos about pieces of it and to making sure it captured all important research and decision points just right

Why spend 10 minutes walking three blocks to the store when you can drive in 1 minute*

* may require spending $80k on a car, doubling your house footprint to build a garage, overthrowing oil-rich third world governments, relying on the city to build signals, crosswalks, and roads, and occasionally killing a pedestrian.

Obviously driving is more efficient!

Had a lovely workshop today in calendar decoration. Worked with three layers of paper to create a stamp to leave the final imprint on the calendar itself. Absolutely lovely experience, and a great addition for my writing studio 🤍🐯🗓️

Power terminal user tip. Use `Ctrl+L` to quickly clear the terminal and `Ctrl+U` to delete the current line you typed wrongly…

anyway i guess "deranged" works in reclamatory context when self-applied and/or representing something positive whereas in my post it looks more like punching down since it implies the solution being bad. i'll think harder next time, thanks

It seems like a good way to find new friends.

이런거 보면 참 자칭 젊은 보수들은 두뇌가 백지에요.

긁우 리딩방들은 데이터까지 왜곡해가며 쿠팡을 잡은게 알테쉰을 띄워주려는 친중 정부의 음모라고 말하고 있습니다. 심지어 자칭 투자계들은 더합니다. 하지만 실제 와이즈앱리테일 데이터를 보면 정반대입니다. 알/테 유출된 개인정보가 중국으로 흘러갔을 가능성이 제기되면서 C커머스에는 더욱 부정적인 영향이 가해졌죠. 그 결과 반사이익을 본 것은 네이버와 컬리였습니다. 쿠팡 소액 상품 중엔 알/테에서 떼온것도 많기도 하거든요. 참고링크 v.daum.net/v/2026010415... stock.mk.co.kr/news/view/95...

A freelance journalist friend of mine who writes about science and math has discovered that someone is using LLMs to impersonate him to try to get assignments.

Deeply creepy but also, um, being a freelance science journalist is about as lucrative as running a lemonade stand. Choice of scams here is woefully underthought.

As a fan of running Mac Mini's as servers there's one thing I've never been able to get working. Doing any kind of passthrough for thunderbolt devices. It'd either not work, or appear to hang the machine.

I'd normally play with it, not get anywhere and give up. Until yesterday, turns out Apple has the tbolt devices on the same IOMMU group as the NIC. Doing a passthrough causes the NIC to become unusable to the host OS.

That's problematic …

An excellent in-depth on the dangerous, unlawful U.S. attack on Venezuela. https://www.justsecurity.org/127981/international-law-venezuela-maduro/ 1/

“[S]triking Venezuela and abducting its president, is clearly a violation of the prohibition on the use of force in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. That prohibition is the bedrock rule of the international system that separates the rule of law from anarchy, safeguards small States from their more powerful neighbors, and protects civilians from the devastation of war.”
