[He/Him]

Software developer by day, insomniac by night. Send me pictures of baby bats to make my day.

  • Guillotines aren't consumables! C:

  • I read decapitated.

  • Nope. Haven’t gotten the installer to run. Tried copying over the already installed software too, no dice.

  • The only reason I boot into Windows is to use Substance Painter. It unfortunately requires 3D acceleration.

  • People: I need X to survive/not suffer/live a dignified life.
    Corporation: Literally fuck off and die.

    Also corporation: Why do they hate us? :((((

  • My comment is in the context of this

    Also interesting that we’re ignoring something here – big tech is chasing cheap sources of clean energy. Don’t we want cheap, clean energy?

  • I’m not saying it is. I’m saying that predatory companies shouldn’t run critical infrastructure.

  • Don’t need to be so extreme. Lumber, saws, nails, and a hammer and you could build an excellent gallows.

  • Well, patents and what have you are a thing. I’m mostly thinking that I wouldn’t want e.g. Facebook to run any nuclear reactors or energy grids. That’s something I prefer the government does.

  • Highly recommended. Children of Ruin was hella spooky, and Children of Memory had me crying a lot. Good stories!

  • Sure we do. Do we want the big tech corporations to hold the reins of that though?

  • The Children of Time series by Adrian Tchaikovsky also explores this. Particularly the third book, Children of Memory.

    Think it’s one of my favourite books. It was really good. The things I’d do to be able to experience it for the first time again.

  • When I set up Navidrome I had no idea jellyfin could do music too. Pretty happy with them separate though. Not for any particular reason, they both do their jobs really well.

  • I like the sound of this.

  • Ah. My mistake then.

    They are ubiquitous here, even when paying by card it goes through klarna.

  • Klarna is Swedish.

    Nasty company though.

  • I wish I was still capable of the same belief in the goodness of others.

  • I'm still holding out for Stephen Hawking to mail out Demon Summoning programs.

  • Given that they already ignore robots.txt I don't think we can assume any sort of good manners on their part. These AI crawlers are like locusts, scouring and eating everything in their path,
