This wonderful opening ceremony came to my mind once again when discussing #AgeVerification tech on fedi.

Control over computing is under threat, it's not an exaggeration but a reality, and I do believe we as hackers have the duty to resist where we can. Age verification is a control mechanism. If you have tips or ideas how tech community could resist, I'd love to know!

Now that sidewalks are not buried in snowbanks I feel more encouraged to get outside for more walks!
Getting a second cat is very fun

Here's a small portion of an animated bumper I made to promote a video game (Blind Descent). Seeing the latest advances in generative AI and how they've invaded space, I feel lucky to have at least produced this little piece from start to finish.

I do not "follow meta", I do not "rank up elo", I do not "scale the leaderboard". I play a game to have fun and improve at my own pace, and if I have a good time playing a match, I'm happy
One of the ways I'm dealing with AI slop at work is that when I'm giving feedback on the work I'm making sure to never assign the responsibility of the bad code to the AI. I'm directly saying that "this change that YOU made needs to be corrected". I'm always assigning the output of the AI to the person who put me in the position of reviewing the work. It is their responsibility to read the code that they're trying to review, they are responsible for 100% of the code, so they also get 100% of the blame when it's bad. If a change is confusing or nonsensical I'll ask "why did YOU make this change?". I'll never ask why an AI made a change, that we cannot know. All we can know is why someone thought it was acceptable to ship garbage, and we can assign them the responsibility for the garbage that they're willing to ship
