When they say AI is optional, but your option is to turn it off because they decided AI is default.

My opinion of you drops considerably if you use "AI".

How much do we like reading physical media over digital?

Would anyone like to see their blog in print? Maybe certain posts? Maybe another writing project completely?

최고지도자 사진에 담뱃불···‘이란 저항의 상징’ 정체 밝혀졌다 www.khan.co.kr/article/2026... "그는 이란 정권이 인터넷을 완전히 차단하고 시위대를 향해 발포하기 하루 전인 지난 7일 이 영상을 촬영했다. 그는 인도 CNN 제휴 방송국인 CNN-NEWS18과의 인터뷰에서 “내 마음과 영혼이 언제나 친구들과 함께라는 것을 전하고 싶었다”고 말했다."

wait yall use DD/MM/YYYY? are you stupid? YD-YD-YMMY is clearly the ideal system

in #activitypub, an remote actor have an optional icon object, which essentially it's the actor's avatar metadata.

but in #mastodon api, the icon object doesn't carry an "id" field in itself, so i cannot correctly map this icon into a more generic "attachments" table (because it requires the presence of id field) in my local instance when i import the remote actor.

some ppl created icon as jsonb to facilitate this non-generic "icon" field.

which isn't a great solution in its api design.

Putting on my storage hat…

Windows hasn’t supported native NVMe UNTIL SOON!

The hell?

It’s an open-enough standard.

People have been buying “premium” drives for years.

And all a bunch of SCSI emulation? 😳

OpenAI has confirmed ChatGPT is getting ads in the coming weeks, but it promises that ads won't influence answers generated by ChatGPT.

And just like that, my kids are all grown and gone 😢

And just like that I have my own recording and photo studio 😁
