@maris I do! I’d love if they wrote a standard for a laptop design that other companies could use

fuck thin, give me:
- cheap generic parts
- a thin mechanical keyboard I can swap out
- yes just let me put whatever battery in there
- a fucking sturdy outer case made out of whatever the better thinkpads are made of (coated titanium? magnesium?) cause I’ll be using it for my next 10 laptops
It's really not up to us who the Speaker is. It's up to the members of the House that we voted for. But if they don't demand that it be a transparent and democratic process where what they ran and won on is reflected in who takes that position, we will have been disenfranchised because of how much oversight and legislation is determined by leadership.

#getfedihired One last plea. https://cv.libexec.net
I'm approaching 2 years of job hunting, thousands of applications and very few interviews. My runway is gone and I'm now looking at random hourly non-tech things to pay bills.
Senior developer, largely .NET focused but a generalist who will pick up any tech stack. Interested in people, product, and project management, though my entire career has been as an IC (sometimes as a tech lead over a team or a product).
Located in Omaha, NE, though wanting to relocate to the Denver, CO area now/soon. Hybrid/office in either of those locations is fine, but I prefer full remote.

Good to know. I guess if I ever sign up to another instance, it’ll be a pylova instance, not a piedfed one.
well having had the pleasure to speak with Mia in Matrix, moth can only highly recommend quokk.au, what one might consider the flagship PyLova instance. she does a terrific job and has surrounded herself with a cadre of very progressive people who genuinely care about the users and their wellbeing.
@thomholwerda do you think that she was working with Jensen to (knowingly) smuggle chips to China? I think it's more likely Jensen knew exactly what was happening
@Mae Oh for sure it's all about somehow getting GPUs (or at least access to them) in Chinese hands. I think this is simply dirty scheming capitalism. I just don't think it's some dastardly James Bondian scheme from the Chinese government.
Seriously, we used to give Adobe a lot of static, and their AI features are still breathlessly overhyped, but their mobile ecosystem has gotten really damn good.
@FediThing @spaceflight As for the business case for it, it’s competition for optic fiber network which is subject to the various national jurisdictions it connects together. On the other hand Starlink is a nice centralized control point I expect the US government to pay a pretty penny to keep under its thumb.
If there's Kessler syndrome, wouldn't that mean all of that is completely destroyed?

I tried this recipe, and it gets pretty darn close to what I want! 😊 Wonderfully chewy and salty! https://rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies/
Still need to experiment a bit with the oven settings. This photo is of the first batch which came out a bit pale; for the second one, I turned on the convection oven setting, which made it crispier but thicker. Will try top/bottom heat and a bit higher temperature next time.
🐾 Stray Kitten Report 10
The terrace is now the cat family's headquarters. They sleep there, play there, eat there, and so on. One night I caught the black cat dad playing with the two kittens, and it melted my heart (video attached). Good news too: Charlotte slept indoors for the first time! She's still afraid of our hands, but it's another small, noticeable step in the right direction. Also, our first vet appointment is at the end of the month.
@zeldman Oh no, I've used Logic since the emagic days. I haven't upgraded yet and guess I'll hold off as long as possible. 😬
...tooooo much....I learned - keeo it simple - and ask before destroy your product...
"Public Citizen painstakingly calculated the likely cost to regular investors: $4.7 billion, including $3.2 billion from the meme coin and another billion from the $WLFI token."
Never felt more seen than the columnist's use of "painstakingly" here.
Whole article provides a good summary of some of the problems with Trump's crypto ventures. Doesn't look like there's a paywall, either. Thanks!
@FediThing @spaceflight I expect SpaceX executives to be betting on the Kessler syndrome not to be reachable, if not ever, at least during their lifetime? Dangerous gambit for absolutely everybody on Earth.
What do they do if/when it happens?
