so queer!

Been working on my website for my new side project co-op.

Pls share with anyone who might need a bit of compassionate tech support and can afford a decent rate. It's not aimed at folks who are highly technically skilled.

Let me know if you spot any errors in the site. I'm doing it in my spare time often when sleepy.

@thufie yeah, why are they making delivery bots for sidewalks anyway? Who wakes up in the morning and is like "oh I need to order a new sidewalk, let's see if there are some bots delivering a new one for me"

Those eyes when it realized it had done something wrong! Poor little robot.

Apple Gives FBI a User’s Real Name Hidden Behind ’Hide My Email’ Feature

The move isn't surprising, but shows what data is available to authorities when paying Apple customers use the Hide My Email feature.

On a pawsitive note.... A cat! (Polly likes to be held like a baby)

The prophecy has been fulfilled 🙏

It's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.

How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegemonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.

But sure, no, it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.

@thufie I recently saw the original mouse presentation, from when they were invented, and that mentioned multiple mouse pointers.

They had the idea that several people would connect into this computer, collaborate together live on a document in the 1970s
