Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Is lofi music on youtube just all AI generated? I've been seeing a few channels like this one, which pump out videos with lofi music, allegedly all authored by the channel owner who is also on spotify and apple music.

How can you pump out music so quickly? You can't, even for relatively "simple" music like lofi. If you were such a prolific musician, I reckon you'd try to make yourself more traceable rather than just existing as an anonymous username on youtube. I'm tired of this internet

On a bright note - here's an artist calling their album "human made lofi" :)

Be careful, friends, when you read accounts of what is happening in LA. We will hear a lot about violence, and it is essential to remember who is defining that term.

and more with the what?

Vorrei che ci fosse una parola in italiano (o anche in inglese) per una mascolinità che sia dolce e tenera, e non abbia paura di esprimere sentimenti e genuinità, ma che sia il più lontano possibile da "checca" ed "effemminato". Penso a questa cosa da quando ho conosciuto Lucio Corsi.

Voglio essere femminista ma non "simp" (o cmq per l'attenzione femminile), perché riconosco tutto il male che il patriarcato mi ha fatto e continua a farmi, così come alle mie amiche, sia uomini che donne.

19 Feb 2025

Vorrei che ci fosse un'etichetta indossabile dagli uomini che si sentono "cis etero", ma non rappresentati e a proprio agio in una mascolinità che vuole essere violenta, potente, superiore. E una da un profondo significato politico.

O meglio - esiste, ma è solo quella messa in pratica da individui che si pongono queste domande e capiscono la mascolinità tossica senza dover per forza essere queer o trans. La mascolinità tossica fa male soprattutto agli uomini stessi.

19 Feb 2025

Voglio essere uomo e vulnerabile, genuino, senza mai dover alzare la voce ma sapendo arrabbiarmi. Io sono anche le mie paure, il mio amore, la mia gioia, la mia creatività e il mio essere sciocco.

Davanti alla crescita del movimento femminista negli ultimi anni, stanno prendendo piede derive fasciste e patriarcali come quelle di Tate e Peterson. Ma questo credo sia anche perché non c'è un modello di mascolinità alternativo, che non richiami la femminilità ma che esprima un'altra mascolinità.

researching the origin of Go's time formatting system: rob pike: "I believe it's unique. I thought of it one day while walking home. It is inspired by the way Cobol picture clauses represent number formats. (That said, I've never programmed in Cobol.)" groups.google.com/u/1/g/golang...

no better evidence that we’ve got a couple trillion-dollar squatters holding the internet back than the fact that a company with 20 employees can make a better platform than Meta

Bluesky has 'em shook

atproto.comATProto for distributed systems engineers - AT ProtocolAT Protocol is the tech developed at Bluesky for open social networking. In this article we're going to explore AT Proto from the perspective of distributed backend engineering.

this sentence is particularly enlightening: "Before Bluesky was started, we established a clear requirement of “no steps backwards.” We wanted the network to feel as convenient and global as every social app before it, while still working as an open network." atproto.com/articles/atp...

i still wonder about how the platform can be monetised. this blog post isn't very satisfactory on answering what the business plan will be. bsky.social/about/blog/7...

bsky.socialOur Plan for a Sustainably Open Social Network - BlueskyWe've been exploring avenues of monetization other than traditional advertising, and have raised a seed round to support our mission and growth.

the domain service is a glorified referral link; not a real business plan. adding up engineering time and infra costs, the platform easily costs upwards of millions per year. i wonder if the team talked about it a bit more, couldn't find relevant references for now.

it's the general vibe i've been getting from the platform, and how i feel it managed to generate the mass exodus from twitter/X we're seeing, while the fediverse couldn't. for the non-tech user, things are simple and work. there is a discovery feed which is not a simple `sort(likes/created)`. ...

the architecture of the service means that 10-million-users influxes are still bearable and don't just make everything unusable for everyone. remember that in some twitter exodi, mastodon.social actually _disabled_ registrations.
