I wrote a quick presentation today with #emacs, #markdown, and #marp. It is suprisingly ... fun! Never used Marp before, but it's going to be my go-to for preso's going forward.

TIL: when you create a JavaDoc.jar with the JavaDoc command, the resulting jar contains Oracle code licensed under the GPL (even when you don’t use the Oracle #jdk ) I had to cpr legal when they saw it. #Java
Luckily there is #jetbrains dokka command as a drop-in replacement Apache-2.0 licensed

We've had a mandate through that they would like all employees to have used the copilot button in office at least 20 times by year end.
Might be me but a truly useful thing doesn't usually require forcing people to use it 🙄

Even as an IC there is so much stuff in corporate life that is performative dancing like a monkey in a circus hoping to grab a peanut from the crowd. #NotLookingForwardToToday

I can't help feeling a "game-changing" technology that's going to "transform" the way we work wouldn't need to be sneaked into products without the user's consent.
All I see is posts asking "How do I switch this f**king thing off?"
Copilot's the U2 album nobody asked for, except it's not free.

There's the term "Enshittification:" products decay over time. Almost always to allow companies to make more money (e.g. via ads etc.)
We need a term for "AI enshittification." Where AI functionality is added: that degrades the product experience.
Except the company now makes LESS money on it!!

If multiple people I follow repost some post from someone else, is there a way to filter it so I only see the first repost, and not all the rest? #askBlueSky

Happy holidays, everyone. Had my traditional Christmas brownie+coffee breakfast, wearing my Elf sweater, Elf pajama bottoms, and reindeer socks. Looking forward to a big lunch, nap, big dinner, nap.
