This account is currently WIP, however things are coming, websites and blogs.

at this point well its probably clear we probably won't actually get a site up, and we fear outsized backlash due to our failure to actually build or say what it was before getting attention on bluesky, a sudden shock wasn't the intention.

This account isn't exactly unobvious,but people are not perceptive. we planned to have articles and guest writers and write about tech and its harms, particularly when its worst harms are justified with the fear of "the pedophile". You may be seeing the vision now. the vision is dead. we are dead.

This ongoing story by Haus is fascinating in how people are responding to it in a similar way to how people reacted to I Saw the TV Glow. It's either "I don't get this" or "this is borderline traumatic and you are drawing my life" and there is very little crossover. It's excellent. It's horrible.

so in short C++26, and C++ in general, is dead now? either they change it and kill it, or cancel it and kill it, but either way everybody who actually works on it is not behind it anymore no matter what choice they're forced to make, so whatever might be called C++26 isn't in truth.

Contracts were not removed, and Bjarne did as he promised. The balloting completed and the vote was not successful, so the standard did not get approved. Contracts (but also safety profiles) remain not part of C++.

Last week voting took place on the C++ standard. Bjarne promised that if contracts were not removed, he would personally lobby various national bodies (who have a voting say in the process) to reject the proposed standard.

i think everyone getting mad are just cowards who are scared to directly say they think the transphobic policies are good

The great thing about vocalsynth characters is that basically everything you make them say/sing is canon in the minds of listeners so Teto is pretty much all but officially a depressed trans girl with bipolar disorder.

r/opensource banning non-english speakers because "we can't tell the difference between ai slop and ai translation" is... uh... yeah. a choice.

The eMudhra intermediate CA compromise broadly impacts the atproto ecosystem. At this point lots of software has been patched, and we recommend upgrading if you run a distribution of the relay, pds, jetstream, or use the goat CLI. For general information see the site linked below, otherwise read on.

web developer: oh hey you guys are back early infra: four's haunted web developer: what? infra: *loading a pistol and getting back on the computer* four's haunted

🚨 Six WebPKI Intermediate CAs are compromised. This is bigger than Heartbleed, but a client-side issue. Anything that verifies certificates against public roots, like most TLS clients, is/was affected. Details, live test, patched versions and workarounds at emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com Act now.

all atproto server-side apps/services: you are affected. - pds: service proxying is outbound tls requests - firehose consumers: tls to relays/jetstream - relays etc: tls to pdses, plc - identity resolution: tls to plc and did:web hosts - etc if you only ship code to the browser, you are ok.

lobste.rs/s/gqepzd/win... look at how fine and normal this conversation is when they don't know that claude was involved

dumb drawing

this is the most informative benchmark i’ve seen of model performance and reliability

uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

map-rust will have a nextcloud at some point

i want everything i own to have a computer in it, but i want that computer to be MY computer

"the commons" for a lot of people seems to be some nebulous thing that nobody should actually be allowed to use oh wait this is downstream of the tragedy of the commons (fencing them all off and destroying community care, interest, participation, ownership, responsibility) isn't it

I'm a chaser for things that don't exist like genemod spacer-clade humans with really spindly zero g limbs and an extra pair of hands instead of feet? Catch me licking those spacesuit seal vacuum burn scars catch me asking what that neural jack do

Honestly I want to live in the world that a lot of people quoting this seem to live in, where when the people at your work are doing fantasy football and you say "no I don't like football", there's no social cost

one of the deepest sicknesses in the world are the people who feel personally attacked over other people getting the same rights as them

might start up another thread here for “curated procedural generation can give cover to jokes a human writer might feel are too edgy / on the nose / might otherwise disavow”

there’s one true answer but it’s the correct one five minutes after game of thrones - the last true monoculture show - ended, we all collectively agreed not to talk about it again, and house of the dragon/knight of the seven kingdoms haven’t recaptured a fraction of that cultural presence

"why would I ever need a task to be done faster" come on, guys. Because we're dying. Because we are literally all dying all the time. Because we're running out of time. The fact that it's often hard to measure or stupidly measured doesn't mean "saving time" isn't an important thing to human beings

girl minecraft players PLEASE MAKE YOUTUBE VIDEOS I DONT USE TWITCH I WANT TO WATCH A *VIDEO*, a nice edited video i just watched a video collabing with someone who seems cool, but she only does twitch, and i just wish there were more youtubers doing videos in the style i enjoy watching

maybe nextcloud sucks and is bad and i should try to host something easier

The thing about copyright maximalists is that they always want *more* copyright. Existing copyright isn’t enough. Nothing is enough. Any recognition of the commons, any transformation of existing work is offensive to them. Free society itself is offensive to them. You cannot please them.

They would unironically say that and then we would see harebrained conspiracy theory books hit NYT Best Sellers. Clearly anyone can write a book. The large group consensus with actual references has a better sniff test. Someone needs to Netflix doc how all of that was just audience capture.

the whole wikipedia hatred thing when i was growing up as a kid and having all my teachers say this to me was so bizarre. like, as a kid understanding a bit of how wikipedia worked i didnt understand why they would say that large-group consensus was bad but single publisher consensus was good

This is, I think, where we have some societal disconnects. Plumbers used to go to the local library to look up pipefitting books if they didn't already have the trade manual. Plumbers went to the library. Throughout my career I have been paid to monetize accessing information like that.

oh hey neat

never the wrong time for this classic

the funniest thought entered my head, a vibe coded service's Meet the Team page has the solo dev and then every single model they've used

i want to meet the people who - understand the copyright provenance of all the parts here - know how to do this by hand - think it's bad to do it with models - can articulate why like if that's you please speak up i'm immensely curious where our worldviews differ
