Mastodawn

True story: my iPad (latest ver 26) - which regularly astounds me as to its ineptitude - would only save 2 of the 4 Superb #Owls recently posted this weekend on #Mastodon. It refused silently, to save the latter two in **exactly the same way** as the first two. I tried twice to save them. It gave no error message, but the owls weren't saved! So I shared the owls directly from #IceCubes into #Deltachat. Yes, that was allowed. So then all 4 could be shared onwards to a friend in #Signal.

My #iPad's disk is far from full, as I save very little into the walled garden. It's crazy, I tell you.

Note: I exfil everything - in bulk - periodically into #Copyparty, BTW.

The first two owls are OK on the iPad, but not the second two!

Needed to perform some 3d printer repairs & maintenance today. Promptly spilled bare desiccant beads all over the place.

I just know I'm going to be finding these for months.

#nerdrage Ergänzung: Stellt sich heraus, dass der Mensch, der das geschrieben hat, sehr genau weiß, was er tut. Was ich sympathisch und sehr cool finde.

Ich bin mir bei einigen, die auf den entsprechenden Artikel springen (und ihn abschreiben werden), da allerdings nicht zu 100% sicher. *tee-schlürfende-auf-die-Computerbild-warte-geräusche*

Diese mit Halbwissen garnierte #Reaktanz, die man auch schon 2014 beim EOL von #Windowsxp gesehen hat, kotzt mich bei der x-ten Wiederholung einfach nur noch an.

Nutzt #Windows, das ist völlig OK. Aber lebt mit den Kröten, die ihr damit schlucken müsst. Schmecken sie nicht? Dann guckt euch nach Alternativen um oder haltet euch zumindest die Tür mit plattformübergreifender Software offen. Muss ja nicht alles #FOSS sein. Aber versucht nicht, ein totes Pferd noch weiter zu reiten.

#nerdrage Ende!

Read an article „ranking“ the new BG3 subclasses with reasoning as to why and I thought it would be interesting but it just raised my blood pressure instead.
It was a brazen display of not getting class features or how spells and combat work, with incredibly smug self-confidence only found in people who are too dumb to realize how wrong they are. I am annoyed that I left them a page visit for that. I would say the author should delete the game but they very obviously have never played it.

I'm gonna contact the Human Rights Commission, the Minister of Immigration's office and the Minister of Justice's office to complain about this today. Will be on the lookout for petitions as well, or will start one myself if I have a moment in between #NERDRAGE and #RACERAGE

There's now an entire genre of posts around "look at this moron and what they tried to do with an AI tool" but the PearAI vs. Continue.dev drama really has taken it to a breathtaking new level of stupid.

And someone likely gave these guys a likely-not-insignificant quantity of money. 🤦‍♂️

Good marketing for Continue.dev though (insofar as a free project really needs it), since I'd never run across it before.
