Here’s a thread of some good stuff I found on the internet recently, starting with Louie Zong’s latest, “a song about perception?? and messing around with content aware scaling lmao” https://youtu.be/D9JKCoj8BJc

Otwieram sklep z odzieżą skierowaną do osób wiecznie zaspanych - "Bed is Rad". Czy ktoś może mnie nakierować na rządowe przetargi?

Dear #developers

if you happen to write a useful tool with oh-so-fancy addition, and said addition is a) not needed for the tool to work, b) has significantly more requirements than the tool,

PLEASE make building the addition optional. And test if --without-… really works.

Sincerely,
User.

Today I learned that hi vis workwear kilts exist, and I think it's very important that I inform the Fediverse of this fact.

I can't tell you how beyond fucking infuriating it is that we're DDOSing and suing libraries and archives, but are sponsoring and funding Piracy Regurgitating as a Service (large language models)

This truly is a monumentally shitty timeline in so many ways

With the impending doom of ICQ in June and the new crappy version of Teams coming in July, I would like to post this meme one final time

It's fashionable to criticize #LLMs, but can you think of another human invention that allows us to spend the energy budget of Tanzania to lift shitposts out of context and present them as if they were authoritative knowledge?

This just randomly came up and I cannot not share this again

> Mark J. Girouard (…) says one of his clients was vetting a company selling a resume screening tool, but didn’t want to make the decision until they knew what the algorithm was prioritizing in a person’s CV.

> After an audit the resume screening company found that the algorithm found two factors to be most indicative of job performance: their name was Jared, and whether they played high school lacrosse.

Those who describe moving all of an automobile’s controls behind a touch screen as “minimalist design,” don’t understand either word.

As the students of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, we have started occupation of the university's space in the Collegium Broscianum. We request fulfilment of our demands in support of Palestine and against the genocide commited by Israel.

I'm done with iPad Discourse™ for a while, but I will say this: When I'm working and listening to music on AirPods and I close up the iPad, the music keeps playing, a thing the Mac still can't do.

In case you missed it: After #GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), after the #DMA (Digital Markets Act), after the #CRA (Cyber Resiliency Act), The EU continues to lead the way with the #AiAct. None of these regulations are perfect. Many will argue they are not even Good Enough(tm). And I agree in parts. But in general I applaud the #EU for not shying away from regulations that are (IMHO) needed. So I once again say #ThanksEU and now the hard work to make these regulation better starts :)

"The fatman still can jump", May 2024

During my long May weekend in Kraków I had a rare occasion to grab a few beers with my remote teammates. We finished the evening early, but two of us decided we're not done and went for a late night walk.

Half an hour before the alcohol prohibition (yup, it's a thing in this one city in Poland!) we bought a few beers and started sipping them illegally in one of the local parks.

And guess what? Well, my teammate had a skateboard. And I had my fastest lens on my camera.

So, what happened next? Well, around 2am somewhere in the center of Kraków one IT nerd started testing his old skateboard skills. The other IT nerd sat on the ground and started stress-testing his Viltrox f/1.4 lens and an ISO setting well above 20k.

My lovely friend successfully landed a few jumps.

I missed a lot of frames because focusing late at night is hard, but a few serviceable frames happened as well.

So yeah. 90% of people will stop to look at my boring touristy snapshots and move on. I'm more excited about this spontaneous drunk session in extreme lighting conditions. 🤷

If the first Alien movie was released today the right wing incels would hate it. A female cat lady over 30 in an unflattering jumpsuit beats the aliens while all the men die? Impossible. More woke Hollywood nonsense!
