Oh heute ist aber auch ein KN-Tag, antatt "Autofahrer nimmt Kind Vorfahrt" als Titel wieder mmal Schuldumkehr "Ein Schüler ist bei einem Unfall in Kronshagen leicht verletzt worden. Der 12-Jährige musste mit seinem Rad einem Auto ausweichen, dessen Fahrer ihn beim Abbiegen offenbar übersehen hatte. Der Unbekannte fuhr weiter, ohne sich um den Jungen zu kümmern."

I know this is a bit unfair to do but I do blame a lot of the people that were pushing this dependency on tech platforms on news orgs and framing it as “the future of news” https://www.platformer.news/google-io-ai-search-sundar-pichai/

TFW your spouse's iMac has 20Mb(!) free out of 2Tb because they tried to use Adobe Cloud for something and now all attempts to reboot keep hanging (filesystem is okay, though) so the next step is to try for Target Disk mode and a cable to a laptop in order to delete cached junk and logfiles until it will boot enough for them to clean up properly …

UNIXen have never been great about coping with full disks/SSDs, but this is a new nadir, and fuck you very much, Adobe Creative Suite.

When cussing out cars I have to remember that in current temperatures people have their windows open and can hear me. Today a car was blocking the cycling path; the passenger window opened, a woman cursed at me in Turkish and then she sprayed windshield fluid aimed at me.

You know that feeling of dread when you've made a bad decision that you'll have to follow up on soon and that's gonna be really fucking horrible?

I signed up to walk 100km within 24 hours next Saturday/Sunday. Because I am a fucking idiot.

Trying to automatically/programmatically replicate #DockerCompose stacks on the same host. E.g. I have an application that requires multiple containers, and I want to replicate the WHOLE application with its own volumes, networks, subdomain, etc. Any pointers on how to do that? #Ansible? Please don't say #Kubernetes.

🤔 Over the last few days, I keep seeing lots of Python PEPs thrown around in my feed.

However, I haven't seen as many talking about the potential of "PEP 723 – Inline script metadata" which I keep hearing cool things about.

https://peps.python.org/pep-0723/

🤔 There are very few times that a new Python feature genuinely makes me excited to see, but PEP 723 feels like it has the potential to literally change everything.

Hier doch noch ein paar Worte von mir zu dem Offenen Brief einiger Lehrender der Freien Universität zum Protestcamp anti-Israelischer „Studierender“ und der von der Hochschulleitung angeordneten Auflösung durch die Polizei. Wer es nicht mitbekommen hat: gut 700 Lehrende verschiedener Universitäten, darunter knapp 250 Kolleg*innen der FU, haben die Auflösung des Protestcamps kritisiert. Sie halten den Campus der FU für einen öffentlichen Ort, an dem solche Demonstrationen legitim seien, 1/

Booked a plane from Amsterdam to Berlin and after realising what an 1hr+ ordeal it is to get into the city from BER immediately regret not taking the train.

As the old saying goes, the state of Germany is not much more than three carmakers in a trench coat.

It’s going to be hilarious—in both the best and the worst meaning of the word—to see how the country reacts to this entire industry being relegated to the dustbin of history. https://infosec.exchange/@masek/112415298908547434

That Jack Dorsey interview is mostly just a sign that he's not really a serious thinker.

KathyReid, 10 days ago to stackoverflow

Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.

Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.

https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/

The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.

In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.

Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.

Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.

The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?

While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.

Went upstairs to talk to our neighbour about their music that I could feel in my living room and they had the gall to compare that to the noise that children may make in the morning.

Nothing worth saving here. Nuke all these people from orbit.
