Today I get to learn things about MSIX and WinUI3. I'm really not loving how WPF feels with a screen reader, and I don't want to use the ancient winforms.

what vpns do yall use? moving away from mullvad

And my position on AI is that - on top of everything else - it is fundamentally antithetical to, and corrosive to, the most important thing that free software and open, shared knowledge can create and embody and empower, that possibility of durable community and a meaningful common good. It's a tool for enclosing, hobbling and privatizing what community means, and what it could be.

A six second exposure created a motion study; we can see how people move around the plaza. Or perhaps they're ghosts.

Compositionally, this is mostly a study of circles and rings, with an imaginary diagonal radiating from the fountain to the man with the camera in the lower right.

somehow I only recently learned that LLMs need the whole conversation fed back to them on each prompt so their i/o cost scales as O(n^2), something that would be considered completely unacceptable in almost any other production network-accessible software

@sarahjamielewis How are you measuring? Looking to adopt such a method in corporate setting. Simple "git blame/log ... | grep -E '...|Claude' " ?

Someone asked me why I bother building my own podcast app when good ones already exist. Because none of them do the one thing I want, and I got tired of waiting for someone else to want it too. That's the whole reason. It's not more complicated than that.

@bjn Yes I love Codeberg, but there is a class of projects I can't host there because they're not open source. Totally understandable, but I need a "commercial" alternative (or like I said, self-host).

Estimated 150,000 people have marched during this year's London Trans+ Pride event. ✊

"Alex Palumbo, a registered mental health nurse who attended the march, said it was "important to be proud of who we are and, in fact, by being proud, we allow other people to discover and express themselves in authentic ways"."

Need a way to extract the domain part of an email, look up its IP addresses, and then run DNSBL checks on that, too.

Ich habe Politikjournalismus im Stil von Sportberichterstattung so satt.

Das Thema ist nicht, OB oder WIE SCHNELL Merz Gesetze durchbringt oder wer in der Koalition gerade PUNKTET.

Das Thema sollte sein, WELCHE Gesetze sie durchbringen und WELCHE FOLGEN das für Menschen und Demokratie haben wird.
