Serious question though after the bubble pops and there’s enough secondhand ML hardware on the market for toy models and other ML shaped computing that it will all be basically free what are we going to build that’s worth anything.

Looks like a lot of #monsterdon adherents have not seen Clash of the Titans (the original).

Never before have so many great actors been handed such a cheesy script— or looked better on Mt. Olympus (yowza)!

While Jason & the Argonauts is a better movie overall (die/hill, not arguing) Clash is clearly the right choice for fediverse purposes.

And today is also Ray Harryhausen's birthday, so [chef's kiss] the Fates must have decreed this turn of events!

I need the phrase (or its equivalent in everyday casual speech) of “What the fuck” in as many languages as possible.

Go.

#wayback, a small project gluing together wayland components to turn Xwayland into a full X environment, is now published: https://github.com/kaniini/wayback

there's definitely a gazillion bugs, which will need work across the entire stack to solve.

however, unlike Xlibre, this is a sustainable path that is intended to reduce the number of X components in distributions.

Every time I meet an Anarchist, they really just want small local government.

Every time I meet a Satanist, they are really actually agnostic or atheists, with a wicked sense of humor.

Every time I meet a Nihilist, I'm really worried about their long term depression.

Every time I meet a MAGA, they're a Nazi.

Have you been laid off? Me too.

What if instead of just finding another job we all team up and build something together? At least we could act as accountability partners and help each other through this phase in our careers.

It doesn't have to be too formal, we could just take turns talking about our next steps and checking in on progress.

Clash of the Titans (1981)

"Perseus (Harry Hamlin), son of the Greek god Zeus (Laurence Olivier), grows up on a deserted island. His destiny is to marry Princess Andromeda (Judi Bowker), who will someday rule the city of Joppa. But as long as the satyr Calibos (Neil McCarthy) -- who uses a giant vulture to kidnap Andromeda's soul every night -- is alive, no one can marry her. Perseus travels to Joppa, where he must defeat Calibos and other mythological monsters to rescue Andromeda."
