oh cool yet another “I’m exhausted by all the anti-AI anger” post got boosted onto my feed

please don’t let anyone gatekeep your own anger away from you, especially when your ability to exist and to make a living are both under active attack. if you’re angry because of LLM-enabled war crimes, the loss of our software commons, or any of the other wrongs the AI industry has started that never stopped, you aren’t wrong. you don’t owe the people enabling and forgiving this stuff your kindness.

Einer meiner Nachbarn (so richtig gegendert) hat heute ca. 45 Minuten lang sein Auto in einer Feuerwehraufstellfläche mit laufendem Motor geparkt, um Holz für seinen kack Ofen ins Haus zu tragen (Gründerzeitviertel ohne Autoabstellinfrastruktur, deutsche Mittelstadt). Absolute Wohlstandsverwahrlosung.

I think that is actually the biggest problem with those systems.

It's not losing some random skill that we have made superflous, it's about taking skills that are the foundation for your agency in this world and your ability to understand it.

It is a fundamental human right that is being taken from you for the sake of efficiency and convenience.

This is a link to an article written by someone else, not me:

"I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure. Here's the stack I landed on, what was harder than expected, and what you still can't avoid."

We need more stories like this being shared in the open. You can criticise some parts of the decisions made here, but that's not the point. Someone tried, learned and shares the result. *That's* the point.

"Made in EU" - it was harder than I thought.

I tried building my startup entirely on European infrastructure. Here's the stack I landed on, what was harder than expected, and what you still can't avoid.

Das Messgerät ist außen, der Schwefel ist aber mit Nase im Raum feststellbar. Die guten alten Altbaurollladenkästen sind halt nur ein Loch in der Wand..

It is the end of the year and you're walking through fresh snow under the Northern Lights and you feel a little endless ❄

As someone who runs my own blog, email, social media, backup system, home automation, business site, etc...

I feel like self-hosting digital services is a lot like backyard chickens. Rewarding, lots of control, independence from Big Egg, and a great reminder of why distribution of labor and efficiencies of scale are so important.
