Gregory's Server
That's it, enshittification hit ubuntu? Did a fresh install, it suggested I might want docker, I agreed. (skip hours of debugging why -v/--moun don't work). Apparently, it was installed via snap, reinstalling with apt just fixed it :-/

A small London exhibition "Still In Sight" came to be recently and it features some of my portrait work among other street photographers. If you're in the area you can swing by for a nice cup of coffee and some photography. https://www.marklukegrant.co.uk/still-in-sight The neurodivergent urge to smuggle 100 breeding pairs of raccoons into Britain in an attempt to establish a robust wild raccoon population :neocat_surprised_pika: The Internet has divided itself into two main use cases: There’s the client-server model where we consume content from centralized services, and there’s the peer-to-peer model where we are need the ability to directly connect. NAT has preserved IPv4 viability for the former while sacrificing the latter. The client-server model has become the vast majority of use cases, leaving many ISPs to treat peer-to-peer requirements as corner cases. This is not good for a free and open Internet. #NetEng Television motion smoothing is an abomination. It's amazing to me television manufacturers are like "You know what we should do? Make everything look like a daytime soap opera." And then to make this shit the default is a sin against humankind. Oh, and if you don't allow me to turn it off?! You're going to hell.  My cool neighbor has outdone herself on coolness. Look what she made and left in my rock garden. The creativity! The details! They each have a backstory, too. For example, the one with the elaborate goldenrod hat is a bard. Two of them are hunter-gatherers.  Context: the day before, we were chatting in front of my rock garden. She said the mounds of plants always remind her of hobbit homes, and she could imagine little characters made out of acorns. Turns out that LLM summaries are actually useful. Not for *summarizing* text -- they're horrible for that. They're weighted statistical models and by their very nature they'll drop the least common or most unusual bits of things. Y'know, the parts of a message that are actually important. No, where they're great is as a writing check. If an LLM summary of your work is accurate that indicates what you wrote doesn't really have much interesting information in it and maybe you should try harder.

@wordshaper My rule of thumb: if a piece of writing is useless bullshit, then an LLM can *definitely* do it. Today I learnt that a German complained that #cyberpunk2077 used the wrong manhole standardisation. It's beautiful.

@realsimon@mastodon.green @realsimon Impressively Germanic. Also, super nerdy (in the good way). Only a true nerd would look for that kind of details :D Me in the mid-1990s, to people thirty years older than me: "This is called a 'file' and this is a 'website'. Let me explain..." Me in the mid-2020s, to people thirty years younger than me: "This is called a 'file' and this is a 'website'. Let me explain..."  @ncdominie @blogdiva I swear, people in their 30s are probably the youngest people who still know how to use a computer…  Can we please use the term "Stoned Ponies" instead of "Story Points". Makes as much sense, but at least I can giggle from time to time. "The milestones are linked to teams via components named after the teams. The "team" field is deprecated and will be ignored in dashboards" |
