I do tech things and sometimes post about them.

If you think AI is a good thing please go away.

I'm scrolling through Nintendo's "newly released" section right now.

Why is there at least one game with hentai in the name on every page?

So I grew up next to #Chernobyl and this is, well, TERRIFYING.

A story for y’all: I’m from a city called Zhytomyr, 2 hours west of Kyiv in the North of #ukraine. We were downwind of the Chernobyl #nuclear power plant when the 1986 disaster happened.

I wasn’t born for another 12 years, but my […]

Menschen, die propagieren, "die Nutzung von LLMs zur Generierung von Terminal-Befehlen verflacht die Lernkurve für Linux":
Nein.
Du hast nichts gelernt, wenn das LLM das für dich macht. Du wirst es nicht replizieren können.
Du weißt nicht, was diese Befehle tun.

Menschen müssen aufhören, LLM […]

I just watched a video of some guy making a stone axe in the woods by hand.

And it had a fucking Bambu Lab Ad halfway through it.

Sometimes I feel bad about being mean to people who uncritically use AI.

Then I look at what that industry is doing, and I think I'm not mean enough.

I am not a "tech critic". I am an antifascist, a feminist, an anticapitalist, an engineer. My criticism of tech flows from my politics and values. Not from a desire to save or destroy tech. Tech is an expression of power and that's what the whole conversation is about.

A charge port lid on the front of a car that fails closed instead of swinging open when you drive into something is one of the ideas of all time.

It's probably a good thing that I sometimes get reminded why people don't like Linux.

I finally switched my main desktop away from Windows and everything except the audio interface connected to my record player works.
