The cry that killed Web 2.0 was "Don't read the comments!"

Then to show what we'd learned for an encore we created platforms that were nothing but comments.

GitHub is very much lacking a tool to find PRs that touch the same files as yours. This becomes very problematic when you have over a thousand of them, like we do in #GodotEngine.

While we're waiting for GitHub to recognize this issue, I've made a custom tool for Godot maintainers and contributors :)

For a moment it's on my account, but we should move it under the org soon enough.

I really love mastodon's private account notes feature, since (among other uses) it lets me keep track of why I blocked or perma-muted someone. This helps me reassess if someone should remain blocked later on once enough time has passed.

As generative algorithms put content farms on steroids and make search results even lower quality than they already are:

There's nothing more powerful and informative than finding community.

I've always sourced a lot of information directly from people, and that's becoming extra important as the web fills up with garbage content.

So, uh, seriously: thank you all for being a part of my life. Y'all make good living possible 💖

These machines can do neither. They produce strings of tokens that statistically appear like they were produced by a human.

To an LLM the statements “Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon” and “Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on Mars” are differentiated only in that more people have written the former than the latter.

That’s it.

AI doesn’t exist and companies letting what we DO have make decisions is just a way to avoid culpability for the results.

david tennant wearing a pride pin ever since one of his kids came out as nonbinary and saying cis people need to step up to make sure we stop a slide into fascism and loss of human rights is making him my fav doctor for the week

Onderzoek na onderzoek laat zien dat mensen graag stemmen voor linkse standpunten, maar linkse partijen doen er niets aan om dat te verzilveren. Het is tijd om alle tegengestelde belangen op tafel te leggen, want niet iedereen wordt een beetje armer. Mensen met een laag inkomen, die hardwerkende Nederlanders, sterven gewoon jaren eerder, en in slechtere gezondheid dan zij met een hoog inkomen. Hoog tijd om te stoppen met pappen en nathouden, hoog tijd voor politiseren en polariseren.
