@zzt@mas.to altman seems like the kind of guy who reads pop-science headlines and takes them as gospel. Yes, humans prefer doing things over not doing things. But humans also prefer meaningful activities, i.e. not the kind of work altman wants us all to do. People would still be busy in a four day work week. Busy with fitting all their friends and hobbies into their new free time and they would be much happier.

What's this new-ish trend[1] of old TV shows[2] posting clips to youtube? Are the right-holders trying to make ad money, sell DVDs, sell licenses to streaming services, or ... ?

Like, how much money is really earned by uploading f-ing Knight Rider clips and why are my recommendations full of those...

[1] ok, it's been going on for years, but only recently has invaded my recommendations
[2] the right-holders. I am not talking about fan uploads

Feeling the urge to:

* Create a custom wayland client implementation
* Improve my zig regex library
* Write an in-browser rogue-like doom clone

Will probably do none of that this year though 🤷‍♀️

I now posses one (1) white dress shirt. This is the most normal colour of dress shirt I own - I usually prefer more interesting colours or black and actively avoid typical dress shirt colours like powder blue because they look too conservative and boring. This is an experiment. I am allergic to looking non-alt, so I hope trying to wear the white shirt will force me to come up with more interesting ways to style a dress shirt.

I don't really like locking the screen on idle, that's more annoying than useful.

But I would like to auto-lock when I leave my desk. Maybe some sort of proximity sensor to check whether the char is occupied?

complaining about LLM infection of FOSS Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
@worik@mastodon.social it is a screenshot of the github page of libffi, a hard dependency of libwayland which in turn is a hard dependency of almost the entire wayland ecosystem. github allows you to block users. If someone uses an LLM "agent", it commonly adds an "assisted by" line to the git commit. Since many of the "agents" have github accounts, which are blockable and get auto-linked by the "assisted by" line, you can easily tell if a project on github is slop.

of course one could do the extra effort to get flicker-free un-/maximizing and un-/fullscreening in your window manager, just for firefox to randomly arbitrarily resize itself AFTER it signalled the un-/maximize or un-/fullscreen operation to be complete, basically actively working against your efforts...

But from reading the emacs dev mailing list, to me it seems like rms wil have the final word and he wrote he's currently talking with copyright lawyers about it which is not the position I was hoping for. And at least the org-mode maintainer is in favour of using LLMs for emacs development.

@dalias @coderanger at this point, the entire linux graphics stack, which is also used in part on the BSDs, is compromised (mesa accepts AI generated contributions, the harfbuzz developer went all in on "vibe coding", gstreamer has AI commits, etc.). I don't think these dependencies can be replaced short- to mid-term, unfortunately

@zyd This is a pretty weak-ass response, quite disappointing. Although rms calling LLMs "bullshit generators" in one the linked mails does give a slither of hope that he uses his powers in GNU[1] to stop LLM contributions. Although that conflicts with another of his mails to emacs-devel where he states he's looking into the copyright situation with a lawyer before making a decision... Thank you for your efforts! [1] which he really shouldn't have, based on *gestures wildly* everything

Gothic Tinkerer. I hack on software, enjoy photography and cooking, am mildly obsessed with vintage and alternative fashion, read mostly classic science fiction and pretentious philosophy books, like to think about esoteric compsci things, and listen mostly to dark-wave and post-punk. The only software I use voluntarily is emacs. UNIX sucks and is boring. 🎵 And however hard I try to integrate, I'll always remain alien 🎶 ⚠️ bigots, tech-bros and LLM apologists fuck off ⚠️

@technomancy @milagemayvary @fmasy @Khrys have they actually taken any new hardline stances in the last two decades? They might have just lost their bite. Which is unfortunate; if emacs falls to slop I will be mad.

@pid_eins I liked skimming these feature posts. Sad to see systemd is a slop project now.

@eri the only smart home thing actually useful are motion sensing light switches. And those have existed for decades without the need for a network connection...
