@joostwery nope. is een ander protocol.
@frost I'm curious as to how that one reads. I've been conditioned by modern media to dislike prequels intensely, so the amount of prequels in the series made my brain hurt.

They seem to be getting better. The story is very immersive. I keep complaining about how short these novellas are, however the author packs an unbelievable amount of detail into such a small package.

It took less than two years for a lot of good developers that could work with a laptop and a few containers or VMs without internet connection to turn into coding zombies that are addicted to centralised "AI" coding agents and getting the shakes when their connection to those services goes down. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf This is frightening to me. Now imagine what this addiction does to normal people that think that "AI" can actually help them in life.

Again, very short. But lots of fun. And who doesn't love an enormous transport meddling with whatever you're trying to do.

So apparently Netflix added most or all of the James Bond catalogue to the service a few weeks ago & now they're removing it again.

I'm not particularly beholden to 007 but it's a great example of how fucking exhausting this digital world is because of the constant twiddling going on behind the veil.

Every time you try using any digital product you may find it's different than last time.

It's like They™️ want to take object permanence away from us.

Afkicken van LinkedIn is verrassend snel verlopen voor mij. Mis het totaal niet. Geen enkel moment meer terug verlangd. Had dus (constateer ik nu achteraf) wel eerder het platform vol nonsense en wannabe statements kunnen verlaten en kan het iedereen die nog twijfelt aanraden. Gewoon doen.. !
Helaas alleen nog wel regelmatig spam mail op mijn werk als erfenis, Waarin je joviaal met je voornaam wordt aangesproken alsof je elkar al jaren kent. Maar verder de volledige #JoyOfMissingOut
Man, LLMs really drive home the lesson that people differ *greatly* in how much they care whether the statements they make are accurate.
Any one remember when #wsocial was going to "fix social media"? A lesson: don't announce a product if you don't have anything to show.
@rhyswynne I only use gemini for making very questionable posters to hang in the office. It makes me feel good that google will learn absolutely nothing from my input, whilst burning an insane amount of tokens, which make them zero money.
