Gleam is amazing!

The tag line for the 1.0 will be "Drugs are (sometimes) bad".

Thanks! I appreciate your kind words 😊

You can think of OpenCLI as OpenAPI for terminal applications. A specification for how to interface with CLI applications.

If I play "James Blues" by J.Tillman in Apple Music (just by searching for the song), I get Maroon 5 as the next song. WTF?

Same with me! I'm always not Coco Channel!

Does anyone I know on here have experience setting up a community Discord server? I'm thinking of setting one up for the Spectre.* projects, and would want all the bells and whistles with a code of conduct that needs to be accepted and similar.

We're happy to start sponsoring the Spectre.Console project!

It is a #dotnet library that makes it easier to create beautiful console applications by giving you access to standard components you may find in a CLI experience.

Go check it out! duende.link/sp3ctr3

Fair enough. Can I by any chance interest you in a small island just outside NY harbour?

Patrik Svensson @patriksvensson.se · 2d

Agree! Sweden is going in the same direction. Our government is not condemning what's happening in Gaza, and they continue standing behind Israel. It's a shame!

The corporate cowardice through the rise of fascism is both unsurprising and utterly pathetic.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

If you think what happens in the US is within the boundaries of a normal democracy, I have a large tower in Paris to sell you!

I have zero sympathy for anyone who travels to the US by their own free will if it's not for something like life saving surgery.

Love it!

I got a feeling it was something like that. For a while I had 100+ outstanding things to do in Cyberday and my manager was on me every single week 😁

Similar to Cyberday?

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
