@timbray@cosocial.ca even better option is to leave github, there are plenty of alternatives - gitlab.com, codeberg.org, gitea.com. I left github in 2018 after they fell under micro$oft.

Nothing new under the Sun.

AI - An Indian
LLM - Low-cost Labour in Mumbai
NLP - New-Dehli Local Person
AGI - A Genius Indian
GPT - Gujarati Professional Typist
Assistant API - A Person in India

People who praise #AI are the same people who praise Indian tech support

maybe it's a lack of oxygen, or I've worked a little harder than usual, but here I giggled

@henrik@eliitin-some.fi
Finnish public administration should take care of its own data accessibility for its citizens. American big tech doesn't have the foggiest idea where Finland is or how it differs from Mozambique. That’s the harsh reality we live in.
They’ve got a real idiocracy going on over there in the States, you know?

@henrik@eliitin-some.fi No wonder though. It's like someone come to your service just to tell everyone around how bad your service is. Very predictable move.

Things like this have to spread through word of mouth.

A former colleague boasts that he pays $20 a month for an AI assistant. It helps him with his work quite well.
What I hear: "It's good that it's only $20 and not my entire salary."

@mms@mastodon.bsd.cafe If I understand your question correctly, that was an old PDP-11 clone, with clicking keyboard, RT-11 and two separate floppy disk drives.

I'm reading a doc about CPU extensions and it's full of RAS syndrome (you know, Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome), like APIC controller, CPU unit or IP protocol.

There are lots of them around us - ATM machine, PIN number, PDF format. Doesn't this irritate you? GUI interface, LCD display, RAM memory?

@dp@bonn.social That's actually quite a good idea. But be prepared to answer those who accuse you of using propaganda methods. "Democratic brainwashing™"
