I used to work on tools for people to do work. Now I play with old computers and do other retiree things. Ed Zitron is right. Ceterum censeo LLMs esse delenda. [bridged from https://mastodon.social/@eschaton on the fediverse by https://fed.brid.gy/ ]

As one might expect, Trevor Noah has a great take on the Saudi state-sponsored comedy festival.

Trump, the Ellison family and their cynical -- but rich -- acolyte, Weiss, are spitting on the graves of Murrow and Cronkite. They're neutering the remaining honorable journalists.

CBS was never perfect. But it once stood for integrity. That's done.

It's CBS "News" now […]

Since I know a lot of iOS developers still read what I have to say:

Don’t use use a third party “metrics” or advertising stack in your application. Ever. The data gathered by such stacks is being sold, and among the buyers are fascists.

@WiteWulf It sucks what’s happened to VMS in Compaq, HP, and now VSI’s hands. (It sucks what’s happened to Objective-C, too.)

Hey, remember when SJ announced Apple TV and said it wouldn’t have ads?

Then WHY THE FUCK does everything on Apple TV+ and the iTunes Store play preroll ads? I pay for this shit, stop putting ads on it. Fucking Eddy Cue and Tim Cook.

The fediverse is the last information safe harbour on the Internet.

Twitter, Facebook, Tick/Tock, etc all promote enragement for engagement which is the bedrock of today's authoritarianism.

If you're on BlueSky you've already seen how the new boss is same as the old boss when it comes to […]

OK, this time on a fully clean checkout submodule init and update worked. Thanks for the mysterious failures, git.

OK, how the hell does one build QEMU from source? I’ve tried to properly initialize submodules but no matter what I try, configure fails because the overlay for berkeley-softfloat-3 isn’t put in place. This is on latest macOS with latest Xcode and the dependencies installed via MacPorts. #qemu

Someone needs to explain to Rep. Ted Lieu in small, simple words that a vote to honor a Nazi is the opposite of a vote “to condemn political violence.” Dipshit.

Has anyone said “Basekampf by 88Signals” yet?

(Not mine, got them from a YOSPOS thread.)

@aka_pugs Happy to see Apollo get some credit in there (“feature parity with Apollo”) though true feature parity came with NFS, not ND.

Jack Posobiec literally wrote a book that portrayed Democrats as demonic "unhumans" in need of elimination.

He is a merchant of hate, and the fact that Charlie Kirk considered him a friend speaks volumes.

CNN lapping up his crocodile tears = laundering fascism.

Scoop: CNN's softball interview with far-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec drew internal backlash from senior journalists at the network, including Jake Tapper.

CNN's Posobiec Problem
CNN's interview with Jack Posobiec prompted internal backlash, while raising larger questions about how mainstream outlets cover far-right figures.

Anyone know someone at the Raspberry Pi Foundation? It seems like they would want to support getting their stuff well-supported in QEMU, and maybe also add things like the Pico 2W to it. (Also maybe SparkFun, AdaFruit, etc.)

The response to my feature request seems less than enthusiastic […]

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting. 🌹
A street art mural on a beige wall depicting a young girl in a yellow headscarf. Her grayscale face is framed by a halo of flowers, roses, and red hearts. The artwork combines delicate floral patterns with a direct, serious gaze. Beneath the portrait, a pink strip carries the bold text: “Rage against the fascism.” The contrast of innocence and resistance gives the piece a powerful, politically charged message.

I just had an excellent idea for an AI-LLM startup that will change software development forever. I’m estimating it’ll take an investment in the high 8 to low 9 figures to make it successful. #ai #llm #founder

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.

It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

Fucking snowflakes can't handle Jimmy Kimmel telling jokes about Charlie Kirk they’re trying to cancel him. What overly-sensitive crybabies.

You know what it doesn’t mean? Doing an application’s interface in code that minimizes the difference between paradigms. That’s as blatantly stupid an idea as trying to minimize differences in code between platforms. (I’m talking to you, Craig and Andreas.)
eschaton.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy
That means more than just not being able to have one interface for all devices. You can’t have a single API for all devices either; designing for one paradigm or another isn’t just a matter of a couple fucking conditional statements in your code, it must be holistic. And with proper separation […]
