BlueskyHahaha no

Setting up my new work laptop, I synced my user settings for two different code editors to carry on from my old setup.

For both editors, all settings were correctly applied on import.. EXCEPT for the ones set to disable or hide force-fed "AI" garbage generator features.

A coincidence, I'm sure.

@jon Yes, works now!
@jon Sounds interesting, but link not visible. Or maybe my client is bugging out?

Fantastic mix here from @citizenhelene celebrating two of the more slightly unsung drum machine staples.

Lots of classic house and modern stuff in a similar vein.

Loving my new work computer. I had put off the upgrade long enough due to "meh I don't want to spend time installing all that crap" but it was well worth it. Doing heavier stuff like running more demanding integration tests locally is feasible again.

If you want happy workers, providing them with proper tools might not be the be-all end-all, but it's definitely a start.

If Tom Tykwer made a Star Wars sequel:

All the digital albums on the label are now £0+ (pay what you want) - dig in for lots of experimental and electronic music.

Hieroglyphic Being, Sweater on Polo etc in Arkaoda this Saturday, see you there. And if the choked post-reopening PA gets too annoying, Sameheads is only a short walk away..

I am loving watching the vibecoding bubble bursting and reforming in real time. It turns out it is ludicrously expensive to have humongous billion parameter models generate a whole library of code in a loop hundreds of times per hour rather than, you know, "writing code." Cursor's pricing model finally started to try and operate at less of a loss and people revolted since they could no longer autogenerate code for 8 hours solid, and now Amazon is trying to capture the runoff with a first-hit-free cursor replacement.

Very funny how, to me, FOSS is about creating a credible bulwark of power so that we aren't at the mercy of information giants, but for vibe coders it's like a "how can I get locked in and get got as deeply as possible" speedrun.

@jon @dok Sounding great! Hoping to see this live set somewhere near me soon :)

"The first half of the year in hip-hop hasn't been the most exciting, so the timing of this reunion couldn't be better. Here's Clipse delivering its best live performance ever recorded and one of the hardest Tiny Desks of all time."
