@kentpitman @salixsericea I would gently suggest you have it completely backwards: the AI bros are the cult. We're simply taking a stand that we're not interested in playing their weird game and will continue to design & build software as software has been designed & built.

There are quite a few people here I've talked to personally and many folks already accept the cognitive distance they need to use LLMs at $DAYJOB because it's been forced on them. Such is the present moment, and it sucks.

@aurisc4 Does anyone read the replies?

@bloftin2 I have the same strategy. No personal attacks. And I think some of my “controversial” posts have withstood the test of time really well.

@Llevickas no monads were harmed in the making of this website!

@Phobos as stated in the readme, assistive technologies are totally cool!

Wenn man die Bundespolizisten von den illegalen Grenzkontrollen an den Binnengrenzen abzieht, hätte man auch mehr Ressourcen für die Gefährderüberwachung. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf weil das wahrscheinlich wegen Kompetenzgerangel eh nicht viel bringen würde.

@warmemelk sorry, I'm not following your train of thought. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@juglugs @ganxel ah, the old "you're holding it wrong" excuse lol.

@juglugs so hilarious I forgot to laugh. 🤨

Software isn't a part machined in a factory. It's an artform.

Dave Winer blogging about a new WordPress → RSS.chat integration from Matthias Pfefferle:

"Matthias didn’t need to tell us about what he did until it was done. That my friends is how the web works, that’s what I’ve been trying to show you, and now it has been shown. In a way the clock has gone back to the world before Twitter when events like this happened pretty routinely."

The easiest way to tell if a platform is open or not: do you need to ask permission to integrate with it? Open: RSS, IndieWeb, Bluesky, Mastodon, Micro.blog. Closed: Threads, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube.

@bloftin2 I mean, you’re not wrong! I just need to find the right balance, and there is a lot to work on as it is.

@LaserdiscTurtle it's with a lot of retro tech youtube channels that they started strong, but ended up only producing shallow algorithm-pleasing content that is completely uninteresting :/

I might be recommending the Apple Upgrade program to my MVNO friends and family.

Their biggest complaint tends to revolve new / used device purchases since carrier financing isn’t available.

can we ponder for a moment the fact that the *onion* is shit-talking some salad? 🧅 🥬

@LaserdiscTurtle I love his videos, he just makes stuff he's passionate about and it shows.
