@byroncclark @openvibe Cool World! I believe that movie is another example of the rich guys at the production studio screwing up the artists' creativity. Reading these comments triggered an ADHD side quest to go learn about Ralph Bakshi, the director of Cool World. He has quite a childhood story and apparently was the ditector of animated movies that captured the attention of younger me. Fire and Ice, Wizards, American Pop, and the 1978 Lord of the Rings.

@Concertina Das sieht der Typ, der seine Reden am Teleprompter durchscrollt wohl anders. Der wusste früh genug, was gesagt wurde und konnte darauf wetten. https://www.spiegel.de/ausland/donald-trump-insiderwetten-auf-reden-des-us-praesidenten-vermutet-a-ec20cf14-0612-4289-a49a-964a2dbf28c4
Hmmm.... enhanced productivity would be a key way to stables living standards & reduce energy & materials usage - surely that would be a good thing.... accepting that it could also just be used to expand production
@ChrisMayLA6 my understanding is that the economics sense of ‘productivity’ has nothing to say about the worth or utility of what is being produced.
It strikes me as roughly as useless a policy focus as GDP.
We are much more productive at producing oil and plastics and bombs

gutting public schools and replacing them with AI is just about the worst thing i think you could do to a society, and the predictability of the order of where it gets rolled out first is sickening

This shit would not be possible without the kind of passive boosterism that lets this nightmare seep into the water supply and keeps the bubble afloat.
The way back down the river was unusually peaceful, too - no one had set up a barbeque by the river yet! But I could hear someone playing loud happy music in the distance.
Of course, right at a chokepoint where there is no detour: a family had set up a big picnic with a massive speaker blaring out music. Somewhere in the back of my head I realised it was interesting music, but on every downbeat my body was twisting and folding, and I was covered in sweat. I scuttled past, trying to stay upright and avoid the pitying looks from other dog walkers and runners. We made it to a more peaceful spot down the river where I collapsed onto an old log. The dogs have hated all this noise too, I can tell, but we usually stride along at a serious pace and they were confused. I never sit down in public.
After a few minutes I realised that I was going into a shutdown. If I stayed there, I would curl into a ball on the ground for an hour or so. I forced myself up and got the dogs and me back to the house.

I'm home now. I won't be able to talk today; I've gone aphasic. Fortunately the kids and I set up a chat service that we can use (a Matrix server) for when this happens. I need to eat something, and then try to sleep with the ear defenders on. I will need to check myself for injuries; if I hurt myself under these circumstances I can't feel it, whether it's a scrape or a torn ligament.
And that, my friends, is the reality of being adult autistic. You can spend ages working out a life that avoids what other people perceive as minor nuisances - a loud picnic, an emergency vehicle, drills - but when it collapses, you become vulnerable and very, very disabled indeed. I can give a talk in front of 2000 people, no problem. But they don't see this part of it. And I still need to look after my children, who are also autistic each in their own ways.

Competitive Shoplifting.
Okay, hear me out. You get a bunch of """athletes""" and go mob a walmart. The goal is to get as much value in merchandise out the door as possible without getting caught. Simple rules.
If you have multiple competitors getting detained, then you've got cameras in the interrogation room, and competitors are ranked by a jury on the quality of their bullshit story. They don't rank better than anyone who didn't get caught, but their bullshitting abilities decide their rank amongst each other.
A variant of this is bracket competition. Like bracket racing where you have to go as fast as possible BUT NO FASTER than 10 seconds. In bracket shoplifting, you steal as much as possible BUT NO MORE than $999 worth of merchandise.
Who wouldn't drink beer and watch this shit?
@Uair I don’t see how I caused any harm, or how I could have anticipated any harm would come from my post.
If I may suggest the old nets sayings: don't feed the trolls.
Block, move on. I am more and more convinced that all those followers who are seemingly too lazy to unfollow are not lazy but someone pays them with a pat on the back for their hard work at sowing division.
Are you just trolling here? The harm is evident by the rage. I know I express myself well. I know you have a decent brain and can keep up with me verbally.
You really have no excuse for not understanding this by now.

Aaaargh... Oscar, who is doing most of the day to day maintenance of Surfer is now vibe coding quite a lot in the project.
I'm not sure what to do about this. I gave him some stern words about it, maybe he'll listen and tone it down, but I don't have my hopes up.
Realistically, since he does most of the day to day maintenance, I can't really enforce any no LLM policy or anything...

More improvements landed in #Vernissage today! 🎉
The web app now shows a red dot when there are new news to read, while the iOS app displays a panel when you reach photos you’ve already seen.
I also made a few more fixes related to the Angular upgrade and standalone components. If no new bugs appear, version 1.41.0 should be released in the next few days. Thanks for all your feedback! ☺️
