Which I guess makes sense 10x writing code is 10x reviewing code

The quality of code generally is so-so, and that's what LLMs are trained on, so it's hardly a suprise that the output after not too long is a few 1000 lines of refactoring for you to deal with.

#BREAKING #News: The #UnitedNations General Assembly has voted to recognize the enslavement of Africans during the transatlantic slave trade as "the gravest crime against humanity", a move advocates hope will pave the way for healing and justice. Note: #UN GA resolutions are not legally binding, though they carry the weight of global opinion.

UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity'

The landmark resolution calls for an apology and contributions to a reparations fund, without specifying an amount.

The Commission stands with Big Tech in an utterly wild letter that puts pressure on the democratically elected European Parliament to abandon their rights respecting vote on #ChatControl 1.0 just two weeks ago, and instead give Big Tech two-more-years of mass surveillance of our private communications without any safeguards.

"The year is 3129. Humanity is extinct.

The last LG SmartFridge is desperately emailing its last owner that they are low on orange juice.

The satellites still left, their orbits decaying, dutifully relay the message.

The automated "away from office" response turns on, as it always does, notifying the refrigerator that it's owner will likely return to the office in 3-5 business days.

A pack of roombas, the local wind turbines giving out, search for the next functional docking station.

A washing machine tweets: "anyone need to do a load" every Saturday at 1:30 a.m. eastern standard time.

The replies are filled with Al thirstposters and their hypebots.

In North America, raccoons have entered the bronze age, while babboons riding domesticated battlewolves rule most of Asia.

Unbeknownst to either, the octopi are mastering nuclear fusion."

I was going to post this with a picture of an octopus in a suit but literally everything I looked at was Ai (why are there no real octopi wearing business-wear!?) and I got distracted by looking up big octopuses so you'll just have to imagine it good morning

Looking at Zim notes from a year ago, so many projects in there I barely remember :D. I guess having seemingly infinite projects is normal, or maybe just very ADHD adjacent, not sure I'll ever get round to a diagnosis..

Your donations help GTK development:

- infrastructure maintenance, like CI/CD pipelines and GitLab
- community events, like hackfests for planning
- grants for targeted projects, like accessibility

If you can, consider setting up a recurring donation to the GNOME project

The headline stated
“Rising Death Rate
for Gen X, Elder Millennials
Is ‘Genuinely Alarming,’”
with cardiovascular issues
and cancers driving this rise,
but should you mention
the studies that have found
Covid’s connection
to such problems,
you will be called an alarmist.
