@daedalus I'm glad they have some strong people there. I feel better that people like e.g. Mike Burgess are in the roles they're in.

Where are my friends of weird keyboards?
Closeup of the big grid. So many keys.
A giant keyboard with approximately 160 keys, 128 of them in a square grid which are mostly labeled in Japanese and have at least dual functions on each key. It’s multicolored and must be doing something highly specific for some complex tasks.
@rachelcholst FOR. REAL.
Vaguely mention something and I MIGHT google it and find it and watch it on my own.
Link me to it and I absolutely will NOT click on it as a matter of principle.
@Alice I'll watch the video if it has subtitles but I will NEVER turn my sound on!!

He's been killing franchises for years and we never noticed. Jared Leto was in Girl, Interrupted and that never got a sequel.
That's crazy! When @spsheridan and I saw it, sure didn't look anything like that! https://beige.party/@TheBreadmonkey/115351547334734212

I talk to many professional #UX designers and no one is using genAI in any MEANINGFUL way to revolutionize their design work.
Sure, everyone is playing with it, and it can do some cool parlor tricks, but there isn't anything significant happening in design. If it was so damn helpful, people would be falling over themselves to use it. That's clearly not happening.
The AI design revolution hasn't come to pass. This needs to be said louder.
@hipsterelectron it still bugs me every time people say web browsers are operating systems
@babble_endanger they are parroting propaganda. an operating system provides affordances to the user that a web browser does not. much like the way private corporations want to be allowed to provide government services for profit without the corresponding anti-discrimination clauses and equitable distribution that government provides, google wants to power to profit from an operating system without providing services to the user

I really want to get this printed to hang over my bed but then I won't have anywhere to hang the periodic table that's currently there.
@Alice maybe you can display this mighty piece during the periods when the table isn't one. elementary.
why is it pretentious to say everything is graph theory but normal and cool to call everything a compiler which is not remotely true. saying everything else is just a subset of the thing you are paid to work on is really obnoxious imo

I've started to come around on Jared Leto. I hope they cast him in the next Ghostbusters movie so he can kill that franchise too. Make him the grim reaper of cinematic universes. Put him in the MCU. Put him in Star Wars.

"If armed, masked, federal agents are snatching US citizens off the street as they walk to work and throwing them in unmarked vehicles, you can only imagine what these agents must be willing to do to our immigrant neighbors" and people who dare speak out.

using the definite article "the" compiler perpetuates institutions of hegemonical control over the language which all users contribute to defining. "the compiler invoked by the user" or even better "the user's compiler" can help to temporally and contextually situate the compiler and to understand it (like all software) as a constantly shifting result of human effort, amorphous and alive. the compiler is not out there, defined by the result of a CI job. it's in here. the compiler is within all of us all the time
literally the compiler https://mstdn.social/@ComicContext/115381253434961645
