> The more they want to force me to offload my work to an LLM, the more I'll grab my pen and paper to take notes, take my time to think, to plan my work, to do my work; slowly and thoroughly.

The more they want to de-skill me, the more I'll study my craft and care about doing my craft well.

They will not break me.

So many of the problems we have today boil down to some kind of circumvention of consent. Or at least it feels that way.

Die EU-Kommission verhält sich wie die großen Tech-Konzerne bzgl. User-Consent: es gibt nur zwei mögliche Antworten: "yes" oder "ask me again later".

(Not linking to the posts that prompted me to write this but it is a reminder of why I stopped being involved in most “web tech” circles. Some of these people are so self-serving they lose track of the things that made the web good at all. The particular individual this time is someone I’ve already had disrespectful and dismissive interactions with so I’m completely unsurprised he is this way now.)

The tech bro idea of consent on the internet is an echo of rape culture. The asks are not tedious, it’s called respect.

I shot over 7000 photos yesterday at Rad Race (a friend of mine podiumed 3rd in the W field 💖🔥). Burst mode goes hard but worked out for the event.

Now I’m realizing last time I processed this volume of photos I relied on proprietary software. What do people recommend these days? (RAW, shot on Fuji X-H2s w/ some primes)

Every AI article is basically this kind of excuse:

“I’m going to ignore the moral, ethical and privacy implementation of AI and just focus on the practical. Morally and ethically, AI is a train wreck. But I’m not going to focus on that.”

(I think this particular article meant implications but I’ll stick with an unedited quote.)

I doubt it’s just me but practically speaking, social issues are not just practical but include the excluded categories. This is extremely impractical discourse.

I’m finally feeling closer to settled after a move and an upcoming appointment to make my status more official (it’s been so unnecessarily stressful). Looking forward to spectating while my friends race this weekend at Rad Race. Maybe next week will finally feel a bit less chaotic.

I’ve been quietly trying to find what corner of computing can be carved out which asserts our ownership and control of computers. The personal must remain personal.
