am i going to have to hear news casters explain that random access memory is used inside "ai" datacenters the same # of times I have heard them explain that a qubit is just like a digital bit, except it can be in a super position of states both 0 and 1

One by one I am going to replace every corpo app with something that I either run, make or personally know the maker of. I am doing pretty good so far. Socials, feeds, photos, bookmarks, music, notes. I guess I need someone to invent a phone OS.

the discord age verifier thing going round actually works: https://age-verifier.kibty.town/
obviously standard disclaimer applies, don't copy paste shit from this website into the dev console unless you understand it; in this case it does just pass the k-id verification URL from discord to their fancy server (well, after some modifications I made to make safari happy), and that server does whatever to satisfy the check
congrats on the house i guess
I kinda doubt they will fire you unless you specifically try to get fired. Just telling them that you wont be using LLMs, but you will continue to do work, probably wont be enough
I think despite the layers of ignorance and social hierarchy performance, the people who make these decisions in software companies still kinda know not to mess with Scruffy the Janitor.
The company I work for is sort of on a similar track, I just don't have the same ability to walk whenever I want to.
@gabek put the source up anyway!!
I was recently in a room with about 6 or 7 other people who had just received a free apple TV from an auction lot and were (AFAIK) planning on "using tvos like you do"

What do I do once I download the osm data? Is there a first party recipe for mapnik and mod_tile that is approachable and usable?
I've seen some 3rd party docker-based efforts in this vein, with varying levels of activity and documentation, probably the best being
https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server
I haven't tried it yet but it seems like a good start.
AI companies can piss off, I just want to be able to serve map tiles over http easily.
@osm_tech thank you for your service 🪖
@nolan the default windows emoji are just soooo ugly ,
wait so it looks like twemoji is the one where they try to make all the different fonts for each OS but w/ the same source emojis right ? I think I had tried to embed that in my site somehow but it wasn't working at the time. I'll have to read more about it.
Right now I'm just letting the OS do whatever and letting it be ugly on windows, I guess cuz I can't be bothered to do an image emoji filter of some kind
