It turns out XEmacs is still being (minimally) maintained. Maybe it's time to try to revive it.
@suetanvil @glyph Really?! I didn't know. I should have a look.

hearing that jensen huang has tripled the amount of partners he has in just under two weeks.
if these trends continue, i think we need to have a serious conversation about the possibility of jensen huang dating every women on earth.
even in moderate scenarios he may send up with 82% of all leather jackets

Holy moly. New study shows that data centres extending the lifespan of coal plants could add nearly 2 gigatonnes of CO2-e into the future.
I regret buying the Onyx BOOX Color 7 Gen 2

I regret buying the Onyx BOOX Color 7 Gen 2
Last last December I bought the Onyx BOOX Color 7 Gen 2. It was a neat little device and I wrote up an extensive review. I have really enjoyed my time with it. It's helped me read about one dozen books in just nine months.
Then it randomly entered a boot loop the other night, completely out-of-the-blue. And it's impossible for me to overstate this:
I did nothing to cause the device to get bricked.
The last thing I did with the device was on Tuesday the 29th of September... I read another chap

We are on Lemmy, so yeah, they are here. Just take a look at how many people are defending Russia invading its neighboring country and murdering the people there. Or try calling Xi Jingping a dictator who is doing a genocide on the Uighurs.
I have never seen anyone claim that Putin or Xi are faultless. I have seen people claim and i agree with them that they are no worse than western leaders. Every imperial project has blood on its hands, be it Rome, Great Britain, USA, USSR or China, or even India for that matter.
Also propaganda bots on Lemmy are an absurd assumption. Very few people use lemmy as compared to watching TV or Netflix or YouTube or Twitter or Instagram. Any entity that wants to influence anyone would not waste time, money and effort on Lemmy. The returns on investment just aren’t there for Lemmy as a channel (and this is how these media decisions are made as ad companies are often involved in political campaigns).

I wanted to get off of HumbleBundle for a while. Today's a good opportunity to do so.
(They replaced their entire site, including login, with slop, and as one can expect, it's broken in so many interesting ways it's not even funny.)

If you use Humble Bundle, surprise! They replaced their entire website with insecure slopcode garbage, so maybe delete your payment details as soon as possible there since there’s obviously no way this stays a good safe for long
I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.
@mariyadelano we should also normalise seeing llm use as a potential for improvement. Like "you used an llm here, fine, but how can we improve things such that we don't have to resort to it in the future?".
Even an llm-first person should approve of this, as it saves their tokens for other things.

@lumi I particularly enjoy the "GenAI gives the wealthy the illusion of skill whilst denying the skilled the opportunity to obtain wealth" line
@littlerao Nah, I believe in you, you don't suck at art :). Hopefully, there will be a good way to poison it in the future.
@sylvia_ritter you've seen my art? abstract stuff with little detail I can do, when I want more detail or more realistic, I get lost in details and usually never finish

@fesshole Maybe you imagine you are human, but are actually a brachiosaurus?
On second thoughts, a brachiosaurus would probably have difficulty typing a message into Mastodon.
Morning Sheep Time
Lovely bright morning, field nearly inaccessible due to a dense cluster of wool at the gate. Leaves and sticks removed from wool, biscuits inserted, Lucky given extra. No crows although I did see a magpie. Horse moody; Giles bitten.

@ricardo it's time to make the BSDCafe BSD variant. Mixing and matching all the BSDs, in the best way possible.
What could go wrong?
our heater is great but not equipped with a thermostat, and it's a PITA.
wots it cost to get a thermostat fitted in the UK?
(easy enough in principle, but absolutely an electrician/gas-plumber job)

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
