The Fediverse is a great idea, but tbh there’s a lot about the current generation of apps that is centralised in other ways that will doubtless compromise them later. As we can see from how even instance mods can behave, any concentration of power at all can and will lead to fief building. The aim should be to allow the network paradigm to have enough plurality and redundancy to outlive such politicking.

I don’t see how stating the blindingly obvious makes him “epic”.

I always play Doom Eternal offline so I don’t have to sign into some bullshit account I don’t want.

Instead of “bad” you have to say “ungood” from now on.

The tech companies seem more interested in what will bouy up their share prices than actually producing products that people want.

All files are binary.

We simply reset the years when the Butlerian Jihad happens.

I have one of those at work now, but my experience with it is still quite limited. With Copilot it was quite useful for knocking up quick boutique solutions for particular problems (stitch together a load of PDFs sorted on a name heading), with the proviso that you might end up having to repair bleed between dependency versions and repair syntax. I couldn’t trust it with big refactors of existing systems.

At a beach restaurant the other night I kept hearing a loud American voice cut across all conversation, going on and on about “AI” and how it would get into all human “workflows” (new buzzword?). His confidence and loudness was only matched by his obvious lack of understanding of how LLMs actually work.

Weird artificial distinctions of our time.

Short sections where you play as a teenage white girl = not politics Entire game playing as white woman = politics

Blatant attempt to cash-in on his celebrity status.

Just one more abstraction bro.

Did anyone else think this was going to be Mr Brightside?

Still too much.

Why is their instinct always to go further back in time, do more prequels? Sure, The Journey Home and First Contact did well, but they were also an established crew in a fish-out-of-water situation. A next generation feels long overdue at this point, but I absolutely don’t trust the current creative leadership to do it right.

Oh, are we just pretending Into Darkness doesn’t exist?

Let me know as soon as there’s any change in his condition.

That’s Noah.

They chose violence.
