Small human. Technical. Sort of artistic.

Ned LuddHad some good points.
COVIDIs still in the air. Mask up.

AI-lookin' cartoon pfp motherfucker, talking like LLM output about their 'voicing concerns about AI in their workplace.'

Gosh, I can't pinpoint why but I just don't believe you, bud.

Khajiit has wares if you have coin

Awhile back, some kind soul posted a site where you can stream TV channels from all over the world. I opened it in a tab, but neglected to bookmark it, and now it's gone in a browser update :-(

does anyone remember this site? and have the link?

UPDATE: see replies for link!

@aras @zeux I'm kinda done trying to be level-headed about this because the underlying issues are way bigger than any quality problems with any particular model release.

I've said my piece recently on how corrosive GenAI models have been to the social fabric of several communities I'm involved with, but it goes way bigger than that still.

My current coding style can be summed up as "what will make a jsbro maximally angry, but make somebody who actually gets javascript giggle."
Downloading all of modarchive and The Hornet Archive again just to feel something.
Just dunno if I'd wanna go super-low-power SFF with it, or honkin' enormous workstation tower.

The thing that kills me about all this is that after years of building up kind/human/caring community around me, ppl I appreciated because of those traits suddenly drop all semblance of caring about them because.... they have the perception of coding a bit better/faster. That's all it took.

I'll say it straight: you can't voluntarily and willingly use LLMs in a way that's aligned with respect for marginalized folks, with respect for the environment, with respect for labor issues and rights, with respect for art, and with respect for the community aspects of things like open source.

It is simply impossible. Pretending you can is the deepest form of cognitive dissonance and I'm just beyond disturbed to see it happening all around me.

I've already unfollowed so many folks I once respected, blocked some others, and just generally withdrawn from a community that used to be so personally fulfilling to be a part of. It's really sad.

Been done, but I kinda wanna model a modern-ish BeBox.

ptyxis is kinda... awful?

So far, it's the only program that refuses to clear its taskbar attention-request even after I've gone to the terminal tab *and* cleared the notification.

Also, it doesn't let me set background opacity.
