Elric. Geek. Software engineer. Human being. Swears like a sailor. Loves tea. Somewhere on the spectrum. Which spectrum? Probably most of them. Remembers the internet when it was still a force for good.

This never ending stream of AI garbage is making me want to organize some old school coding workshops and book clubs. Like with physical people and hand crafted code.
I didn't have Luddism on my bucket list, but I'll happily go that way if it means keeping my sanity (for whatever that was ever worth).
Apparently bankers and the IMF are suddenly scared of Mythos. Not a peep out of them when Big AI started stealing everyone's data or when it started to threaten jobs. But suddenly bank security is at risk?
Get real. Maybe Mythos will get them to finally patch their crumbling crap and efforts at security theatre.
I've been using LibreOffice/OpenOffice since the early 2000s, and after 20 plus years I still hate the arcane clicking that is required for editing a chart.

Are there (online) book clubs for software engineers? Mostly interested in Java, Distributed Systems, Type Systems, Performance, Security, but open to pretty much anything software related.
Bal Sagoth's Atlantis Ascendant is celebrating its 25th birthday. And it remains one of my favourite albums to this date.

If every country starts requiring that people provide official ID in order to "verify their age" to use social media, there will be no way to use any social media without associating the account with a legal identity.
This is horrible for democracy,
and should terrify everyone.
It doesn't matter if platforms use third-parties or not. It doesn't matter if they use some special encrypted code, the result is the same. This gatekeeps open discussions and government criticisms free from reprisals.
This is bad.
This is China "free-speech" bad.
