Ahem. Just a reminder that there’s an *actual* decentralised network that you can be part of. No drama, just chill vibes. I recommend my home instance: indieweb.social.
Probably best not to support corporate social media give the way the world is going, eh?

I had been reluctant to try Hollow Knight for some reason, but WOW what a good game! Way cooler than it seems from the screenshots and trailers.

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

The Future is NOT Self-Hosted
In a world where corporations have detached buying from owning, one man attempts to do something radical: build his own cloud.

My current opinion on LLMs in software dev is that 99% of their impact on productivity comes from:
1. Helping devs manage shit they should absolutely not have been doing
2. Regurgitating code whose quality doesn’t matter because their entire organisation is divorced from the end-user value

Anybody who has been around programmers for more than five minutes should not be surprised that many of them are enthusiastically adopting a tool that is harmful, destroying industries, sabotaging education, and hindering the energy transition because they feel it's giving them a moderate advantage

If I had a calculator that gave me the wrong answer even 1% of the time I’d be extremely skeptical of using that calculator. But it’s good enough for most people and we’re just going to live with the consequences.
