I need employment, *urgently*. I am not picky. My family needs to eat, and that overrides everything else. Please, does anybody out there work at a company that has machine learning or Python programming positions? Would you be willing to recommend me? I can demonstrate my abilities to you, first, if you need convincing, or I can share git repos.

Why did Gentoo choose Codebeg over alternatives?

Got an email from our local vet today announcing that she was retiring, and selling the practice to another independent veterinarian, having turned down several much higher offers from private equity rollup funds.

I am so grateful to Burbank/Toluca Pet Hospital's Dr Skaar for this. Having watched PE-backed rollups destroy so many veterinary practices, killing pets and ruining workers' lives, it's such a relief to know that our vet put her patients first.

Denmark says that if the US attacks Greenland, it will be the end of NATO. Of course, to Trump, that's a feature. Better yet, to him, his BFF Vladimir would love it.

Highly recommend reading this story about a reporter casually finding out his wife is a world Tetris champion: https://archive.boston.com/news/globe/magazine/articles/2007/08/19/bizarro_world/

Firefox should really strip down the browser to the core, make that performant and secure. Maybe even improve extension interfaces and then deliver whatever "AI" nonsense they want through extensions. Would make it so easy to stop having to talk about kill switches and how "hard" those are. Offer people all the slop extensions in the world and see who will download them.

My new year's resolution is to continue ignoring all technologies that I am told ignoring will result in me being left behind. I embrace the being left behind. I will become a forest witch, speaking to myself in invented programming languages. In the dark I will twist little bits of wire together to make flickering lights that amuse squirrels. I will let the 8-bit soil from which I came reclaim my body.

Forgot the term "thread count" so I just asked what resolution these sheets were.

Making progress in implementing a full terminal UI with a SwiftUI like syntax and easy bindings (no dependency properties!). It supports console resize, mouse, hover, tab, focus, clipboard copy/paste and more! 🚀

Still a long way to go but it is already very cool! ✨

What do I want you to know, watching from far away?

I want you to know that if you are not hearing about ICE swarming all the hell over my city, you are not hearing the actual news.

I want you to know that if all you see is video of ICE marching off Very Dangerous Criminals in an orderly and authoritative way, you are not hearing the actual news.

I want you to know that these turds act tough, but run away • every • time • they think too many people are watching or there might be video.

I have been trying to figure out what to post here about ICE activity today in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metro. It is just •batshit• out there.

Some admin mucky-muck is in town today (Noem, I think?), and ICE is putting on a full We Are A Big Fascist Deal theater show. The result of this is chaos: ICE caravans all over, vulnerable people terrified, less-vulnerable residents dropping their work to keep watch on the streets.

I have arrived in Sydney, the beginning of a new adventure. I'll be onboarding at Canva at the beginning of next week, and for the time being taking care of logistics like getting a bank account.

The last few weeks have been taken up with clearing out my apartment and other moving things. Glad to have that done.

As always, I will live-stream a #curl release presentation at 10:00 CET (09:00 UTC) tomorrow on my twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/curlhacker

I guess helpful comments will be appreciated. If anyone has a suggestion, I can add it to the issue.

I was included in Open UK's New Year Honours list for "UK leadership in open technology": https://openuk.uk/honours/

It's really the icing on the cake to be recognised for doing things that give me such a lot of pleasure and fulfilment in the first place.

Thank you @openuk.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@firefoxwebdevs/115849251057488746

I find the "trained on open data" line of reasoning really weird.

The datasets behind these models are from web scrapes, containing many sentences clearly taken from news websites that don't appear to have licensed their IP for that purpose - I don't see a difference between that and AI companies scanning in copyrighted books or art.

(Note: I'm not making a judgment either way on this, but if you are branding yourself on AI ethics, I think you need to be consistent in how you talk about this)

🌕 球面貪喫蛇 (Spherical Snake)
➤ 打破平面框架，在曲面上重塑經典遊戲體驗
✤ https://kevinalbs.com/spherical_snake/
這款名為《球面貪喫蛇》的專案將經典遊戲帶入三維空間。玩家在球形地圖上操控蛇體，體驗不同於平面版的空間感。遊戲介面簡潔直觀，提供即時計分與重玩功能，並支援多樣化的操作方式。開發者不僅建立了全球排行榜以提升競技樂趣，更將完整原始碼託管於 GitHub，展現了開放原始碼的分享精神，是網頁開發者學習遊戲邏輯與球體投影技術的絕佳範例。
+ 「將貪喫蛇放在球面上玩的構想很酷，空間感完全改變了遊戲的難度。」
+ 「程式碼開源在 GitHub 真的很有幫助，這對於想學習 WebGL 或球面座標運算的人來說是很好的教材。」
