I've been playing around with local LLM's, and it used on-premise to refer to servers in a datacentre and knows the definition of premise and premises.

Correct term is on-premises.

I didn't realise Hypercard was so old, it was an awesome tool very similar to a web browser back before web browsers existed.

"in 1985, I designed the HyperCard authoring system that enabled non-programmers to make their own interactive media."

I am convinced 99% of websites should use magic links + passkeys.

It bypasses all (debatable) portability objections to passkeys, it’s at least as secure as email-based recovery, as fast as a password manager, it’s available to all users… and importantly, no passwords!
I wrote about how magic links (emailed one-time login links) frustrate me while explaining that they radically accept some fundamental truths. I argue that websites should layer passkeys on top of magic links to provide a seamless authentication experience for everyone. rmondello.com/2025/01/02/m...

Back in April, @bcantrill.bsky.social and I talked to Andres Freund on the @oxide.computer podcast to discuss the xz fiasco; over on Mastodon I described making the image, and since its starting to be used without attribution, I thought I'd talk about it here... share.transistor.fm/s/e2538f7d

<- I haven't met anyone this bad, but it's a parody; even so, my strong feeling is that such people constitute the bulk of management and marketing at tech companies.
