@adriano @gedankenstuecke "these tools are also becoming part of how software is made”
Tools don't become anything. Tools have no agency. Tools have no opinion.
People are making deliberate choices to use these tools as part of how *THEIR* software is made.
Not my software. And not a lot of other people's software either.
I'm completely fine with dividing into camps. That's already happened—or to put it in LLM-brained terms, the genie is out of the bottle. The bifurcation is real.
Paging @kianryan @thelastpsion I have a Psion 3A connected to a Raspberry Pi Pico via an unholy mess of conenctors 3Link > Null Modem > Adafruit MAX3243 breakout > Pico UART pins. I can receive "something" but I can't decode. What am I doing wrong? Screenshot is a string "Hello world". Thanks!
@vtrlx organisations like Circle could also cover this. it's peanuts for them.
it's the cost of a domain name. Flathub provides so much value, I think this is fair. if that's not worth $5/m I don't think an app is worth it in the first place...
🐬 TIL: A dolphin named Kelly figured out how to run a scam on her trainers.
At the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Mississippi, dolphins got a fish for every piece of trash they turned in. Kelly noticed the payout was the same no matter the size, so she hid trash under a rock and tore off small pieces to redeem one at a time.
Then she escalated. Turning in a stray seagull earned a bonus fish payout, so Kelly started saving one of her fish, using it as bait to lure gulls, and cashing in the bigger reward. She later taught the trick to her calf, and it spread through the pod until gull-baiting was, in the words of one account, a hot game among the dolphins.
Trainers only found her stash when they drained the pool for repairs and discovered a pile of garbage hidden under the rocks. Kelly survived Hurricane Katrina and was relocated to the Bahamas, where she was still going strong in her 40s as of 2018.
Whenever I read about millionaires agreeing that they should be taxed more, I want to send them a list of important organisations they can donate their money to right now. Why wait? Do good now!
