This morning I posted version 3 of my Epstein report. I also filed a whistleblower tip with the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

Leaked documents reveal the inner workings of Alpha School, which both the press and the Trump administration have applauded. The documents show Alpha School's AI is generating faulty lessons that sometimes do "more harm than good."

No Tools for You: A Century of Men Policing Women’s Tools
In 1925 a doctor said vacuum cleaners will make women lazy. In 2026 mastodon dudes said the same thing (and worse) about a woman engineer using a tool to make a CAD part.

@adafruit@fosstodon.org as a woman I am offended that you'd compare the actual bullshit our foremothers faced under sexism to people pushing back against AI, a "service" that's buggy, harmful, ecologically damaging, and being used as a tool in class warfare to push people out of their jobs, something that disproportionately happens to women and minorities first.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Not every tool is good
One of my heatguns was recalled for fire risk
I sent it in
It was a bad tool
LLMs, Gemini included, are also bad tools
If I had to double check my cake mix for poison every single time I used it I wouldn't use that cake mix
Or eat a cake made from it
You're failing to recognize WHY people are rejecting LLMs and things made with it
They're bad tools
If a robot vacuum cleaner does a good job but has a 1% chance of eating my cat it's not allowed in my house

I've been making .iso copies of all my DVDs so I can finally throw away the physical media which has been rotting away for years.
Curiously I can't copy the BFI (British Film Institute) DVDs with the tools I have even though they haven't started the rot yet. In fact, they seem designed to cause maximal damage to my DVD drive by causing the read arm to repeatedly slam against the ends of its range. Nasty stuff!

This is truly glorious #AISlop from #Microslop in their "Introduction to Github" course.
I don't know why Tim is working in the opposite direction, but I can see that he never once "morges" his code back into develop, let alone doing it "continvoucly"
Update:
It looks as though after 4-5 months the page has been updated, but if you want to see the image in situ still then the way back machine has you covered.

KLAXXON! #SOURCE issue 4 "Airwaves and Airplanes" is out! Good grief that's taken a while! Anyway in this issue we have a beginners tutorial for the fabulous

Does anyone have a host they recommend for a mumble server? I took a brief look at the official list of hosts and every single one has a website that looks like it was built in 2004, and I don't mean that in a good way.
I don't ship updates. I ship upgrades.
Loops beta testers watched me rebuild an app from the ground up - cleaner, faster, with a compose and comment experience much more polished and refined.
Pixelfed app (v4) is the same story. Every pain point addressed. Every rough edge smoothed out.
This is what happens when the people building the app actually use it, and listen to your feedback.
Better. In. Every. Way. 🔥

I’m using SwiftUI’s onDelete to remove a row from a List.
The list conditionally shows a picker + label as a header when there are no active items. #iosdev
When deleting the last row, I get a weird layout glitch.
Has anyone run into something similar when deleting rows in List?
You may not agree, but this is what peak Swift concurrency looks like.
By combining Swift's isolation tools with Swift's ownership tools we can encode a high level of safety into our applications without blocking our code and without unnecessary allocations.
Would be nice to have it in Samsung Store as well. As an alternative to Play Store in case Google locks down android so that f-droid does not work anymore.

1994: Cool Site of the Day and the rise of curated web design
Although the Web is technically limited in 1994, it is a fast-growing network and so curation quickly becomes a design problem. Enter Glenn Davis and his website, Cool Site of the Day.

How many of you put the shebang line "#!/usr/bin/env python3" at the top of your Python scripts? And you chmod the script, right? Or do you just run `python3 script.py`

Again many neo-Nazis at “Day of Honour”: Budapest police suppress anti-fascist protest and record personal details
‚At the annual “Day of Honour” in Budapest, thousands of neo-Nazis once again took part in an “escape march”. One counter-protest was able to take place, while another, including a press conference, was stifled by the police.
On Saturday, several thousand European right-wing extremists once again marched 60 kilometres for the “Day of Honour” from Buda Castle in the Hungarian capital to the village of Szomor.
It is the highlight of the international neo-Nazi gathering initiated in Budapest in 1997 by the “Hungarian National Front”. This “escape march” commemorates the fallen soldiers of the Hungarian fascist Arrow Cross militia who fled the capital in 1945 ahead of the Red Army….‘
