Calling yourself "the best Node.js framework" with no further qualifications or context is a surefire way to make me distrust your project...

A rant on why I think we need realistic Solarpunk, plus some other thing 1/2 ☀️
Felt compelled to make this. It will finally stop floating around in my head 🎉

Anyone up for a bet on how many Koa applications are unknowingly running with this default configuration being used for authenticating users?

programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like
"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.
GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.
See why Microsoft, OpenAI and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."
and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is
"Simple session middleware for Koa. Defaults to cookie-based sessions and supports external stores. [...] The session is stored in a cookie by default, but it has some disadvantages: Session is stored on client side unencrypted [...]"

If someone wants to summarize what I said with an LLM I think the only reasonable response is to pepper the training dataset with GO FUCK YOURSELF signed by me with my real name addressed directly to you. Maybe that way your dramatically overfit surveillance bot confuses its attention matrix with confidence and gives me direct control over your fucking home thermostat or morning alarm clock. In biological signaling we say "a costly signal is a true signal" and you signaling this hard you trust your life to a suggestible text-based advertising machine suggests I would truly be able to dominate your perception of truth with like $20 of google ad spend.

> being plausible but slightly wrong and un-auditable—at scale—is the killer feature of LLMs, not a bug that will ever be meaningfully addressed, and this combination of properties makes it an essentially fascist technology. By “fascist” in this context, I mean that it is well suited to centralizing authority, eliminating checks on that authority and advancing an anti-science agenda.

Dus #RTL wordt óók al onderdeel van #DPG. Voor mij had de @acm hier niet akkoord mee hoeven gaan. Ik houd niet van zulke machtige bedrijven.
Laten we vooral ook niet vergeten dat DPG vorig jaar de Big Brother Award won voor grove privacyschendingen. (Betalend) abonnee van een van hun 70 mediatitels? Je wordt getrackt, je persoonlijke data worden verkocht en tot 10 jaar bewaard.

keep signing though. it must have a million *valid* signatures, and some percentage is always found to be invalid, so we should ensure the petition has enough wiggle room

Morgen is de Rave voor de rafelranden voor de derde keer. De gemeente maakt het de organisatie moeilijk.
De tijden zijn aangepast, het eindpunt verplaats naar letterlijk een rafelrand van Utrecht. Geluid eerder uit.
Mocht je morgen naar de rave komen, neem vooral protest bordjes, vlaggen en spandoeken mee. De gemeente vind de demonstratie niet politiek genoeg, dan maken wij het politieker.
Dat gezegd hebben, de organisatie heeft een front banner en ze zoeken nog mensen die kunnen helpen met dragen van de front banner. Het is dat wij al andere taken hebben, anders we het wel op ons genomen.
