You: MOSFET ringing

Me: boioioioioiiiiiiing

Anyway, setting aside the ethical concerns, it seems perfectly clear that "setting aside the ethical concerns" is *precisely* the problem.

It is what got us in to this nightmare, and it is what is keeping us in this nightmare.

Please stop pretending that "setting aside the ethical concerns" is anything but a verbal signal indicating one's unwillingness to take personal responsibility for one's actions.

I wrote up a longer post about the halftone printing plate (and print) I made...

I can confirm; the number of ways my parents could reach out to me is decreasing. I can give them a call, but the calls from their side aren't reaching me. My primary email cannot interact with their primary email, but at least emails from their secondary email reach mine, and vice versa. The Russian government can read our email correspondence this way, of course.

The VPN is getting actively erased, and there are even rumours of criminalising the use of VPN services, so my parents are afraid of using one. It's even more interesting with the government basically mandating the installation of a government MITM&MDM software on all the mobile devices.

Things are grim. Gotta ask my dad whether he has any interest in returning to the HAM radio circles :D

This is cool.

Also: I got Lidled.

I've been thinking about why AI-assisted work breaks down — and it's not the code. It's the decisions. They live in chat, and chat doesn't compound well. I built Trail to fix that.
