Gothic Tinkerer, writing Free Software in emacs.
My other passions include cooking, photography, vintage and alt fashion, classic science fiction, reading pretentious philosophy books, esoteric compsci things, and other fun stuff. Straight edge. Aggressively progressive.

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"
Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

Was initially writing a little lisp interpreter (wanted to try out how a lisp without cons cells works), but got bored, so I guess I am writing a cat lang now?
I re-used the dynamically typed object I had implemented for the lisp, including a very primitive numeric tower. Cat langs evaluation model is a lot simpler. I also want to try to include lambdas, but that might require syntax *shudders*
But that's all for tomorrow 🐈
mesa, the one library even harder to replace than harfbuzz, decided to accept slop as well 🙄
Pretty unfortunate
the mechanism was a bit tired. The part of the inner frame that slides on metal ridges had groves, which I've filed out. I've also filed the ridges to be less sharp and bent them slightly to slide along a different part of the inner frame.
It's opns and closes pretty good now. Not perfect, but I wonder if it ever was perfect in the first place.
Eventually I'd like to replace the ridges with wider wedges, but I need to find a way to machine the first
River 0.4.0 is released, introducing the river-window-management-v1 protocol!
See my blog post for an in-depth explanation of the protocol: https://isaacfreund.com/blog/river-window-management/
I am currently investigating whether it's viable to run a desktop operating system fully free of LLM generated output, either by just sticking to older versions or perhaps even switching to the BSDs.
Either way, FOSS isn't fun anymore. I think part of my bad mood is that my subconscious has already started grieving the loss of programming and FOSS as an interest. I am currently unsure if I will continue to engage with FOSS in the future or if I'll continue contributing to it in any capacity.
Effectively all relevant code I have ever written depends, either directly or indirectly, on projects that have adopted LLMs. And those are hard to replace dependencies, like font drawing or the kernel itself. The laptop I am typing this on probably already has LLM generated code on it, without my knowledge or consent.
I am effectively forced to unwillingly support rent-seeking fascists with every line of code I write, every time I turn on my computer, even if I don't use any of it directly.
