Oooooh

But I dont want to teleport and suddey BE Granny Weatherwax.

I want to live my life in ways that allow me to become somone that have her good sides, while trying to minimize her bad.

You know that intriguing backstory that we get little flashes of in the book?

THAT is who I want to be!

I want to be Granny Weatherwax'es backstory!

i do think it's cute how many posts on here are like "i want to be granny weatherwax when i grow up!" like it's sweet but also yes the perfect grown human ideal that we all have to aspire to is a 70-something yr old huge bitch

You are all, very very cute :3

I think it's really cute and sweet that the Linux gimmick blogs spend half their time flirting with one another very publicly (and privately) and half the time providing genuine, earnest answers to questions in their asks

Rb for daily health and prosperity

Direct quote from a meeting today about use of LLM's

Moose: "Are... are you saying... in this meeting with 80% of people who use these tools are sitting... that we do not have to follow the firm guidelines if we do not like them?

Person giving the presentation: "Yeah, I think that would ok."

Why? Because he thinks marking the output of LLM's so we can keep track of what is LLM generated and be more suspicious of it was an unreasonable amount of work...

To avoid that work he just removed any and all restrictions of use of these tools for anything from customer contact and documentation to coding and security.

What... the fuck... is wrong with everyone???

The question is not " How do I fight against my OS to get a only somewhat shitty user experience"

The question is "How do I install linux" and there are answers out there my friend!

Go! Run! Be free!

Getting a new computer soon. Where’s that windows debloat guide people post every so often

It was known that the CEO of CrowdStrike had a habbit of running software companies like he did.

It was a untrustworthy company before the crash, why should anything change after it?

They sell the illusion of safety. And that buisness is doing fine

If CrowdStrike has the audacity to pitch you cybersecurity after their global oopsie-daisy, then you've got the guts to ask your crush out.

is anyone else constantly afraid they’ll be “caught” doing stuff they’re obviously allowed or even supposed to do

THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL!

The next servo-skull is well underway! Both the skull case, and the raspberrypi core are fully assembled. It'll be both a camera(for pics and short videos) and a prop(with lights and sound) for an upcoming cosplay at MCM London

HELLLLLL YEAH!!!!!!!

If pride in all of the people learning to program and design software in a friendly, forgiving encouraging enviroment is ever eclipsed by wrath for systems that harm people then I would need to put work into changing that.

Doing the right thing is much more important than stopping someone else from doing the wrong thing.

Both are needed, but not in the same amount

This request was sent to us and we made a poll in response to it. Send any Blorbo-related question you want to our inbox and we’ll make a poll on which people can vote with their own Blorbos in minds

Fun fact about Denmark.

We are a tiny country. Yet we have gangster rappers.

Where "gangster" is a weird injoke. Because Denmark do not have the same cultural events as that genre sorta demands.

So when the rappers try to do things that their genre encourages, like yelling what area, especially areas of different gangs they have to compensate

They do this by yelling their postcode.

I swear. It is hilarious every time.

"My name is LOC and I am from 8210!" In their best I-am-a-serious-gangster-rapper white people voice.

It's beautiful

Apps are websites exept all the users rights have been taken away.

And for some people keep being surprised that when they dont have any rights corperations will abuse them.

Please don't use the Patreon app on any iPhone. Apple is charging Patreon users an additional 30% fee.

Patreon is the main source of income for many creators and not everyone can afford an extra 30% on top of what they're already paying.

This is 100% corporate greed and it hurts all of us. If you can avoid using the iPhone Patreon please do so.

Just saw an ad for fucking Kellog's cornflakes wherein a shirtless blindfolded man tied to a bed is like "Wait.. are you... eating??" and it pans across the bed to reveal that his partner is, indeed, too distracted to have sex with him bc she is chowing down on corn flakes. Now I've been caught up in wondering whether:

a) John Harvey Kellog would despise this ad; the mere proximity of bondage-play to his brand name and beloved anti-porn flakes is unforgivable

b) John Harvey Kellog would enjoy this ad, because it shows a young woman forsaking the temptations of the flesh in favour of eating a wholesome and nourishing bowl of cornflakes

It is very simple

Cooperations are insane

Also a fun bonus fact.

It also makes Large Language Models like Co-pilot freak out.

Anything about killing, children, master, slaves or other naughty words triggers crude detectors that tries to ban these words.

Meaning that not only will the bot often refuse to talk about normal software things but most likely this is also a bias in its training data

Meaning that these LLM' will try to avoid recommending code that have these naughty words in subtle and not so subtle ways.

coding got me saying shit like “target the child” “assign its class” “override its inheritance” like the third wife of a dying oil baron discovering his of-age son born out of wedlock

Hey, do y’all remember how Tencent said they were developing faceID AI to identify people in riots, and then they suddenly created an AI art generator to turn your selfies into anime?

Do y’all remember that time that someone discovered facial recognition cameras couldn't see through Juggalo makeup, then Facebook had a fun “see what you'd look like with Juggalo makeup” thing, and then facial recognition cameras could suddenly see through Juggalo makeup?

Do y’all remember how, on Twitter, Elon started a tirade against artists who ask for credit when their art is reposted, and he suddenly he created one of the first big art AI programs?

Do y’all remember how AI destroyed the field of freelance translation, despite the inferiority of the machine translations, because companies didn’t care about the quality of the translations? They just wanted it done for free?

Do y’all know how companies will see a lot of money going into a New Tech Thing (like, say, AI art apps) and will jump to try and implement that New Tech Thing into their tech? For example, how it felt like every big company and celebrity had an NFT to sell?

Just wondering.

I...

But sweet sweet spirit... why are you talking to insane people?

Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue

I... are there people out there who do not want to be infodumped on?

Would I like interesting facts about things I have never thought about before? Yes please.

I will subscribe to your free verbal documentary please and thank you

Yes.

I am dragging every department I am in contact with kicking and screaming to use LLM as the term.

AI is a marketing term. It means nothing(somewhere between GAI and an if statment) Generative AI is also a marketing term meaning basically the same ( Somewhere between GAI and an if statement... that outputs a file ) .

So demand people act like professionals and use real terms. Because real people are doing good work and should not be lumped together with the bullshit brigade

i hatehatehate that the modern generative models have all fallen under the term "AI". none of this is AI and AI is being used to talk about like 5 different things. trying to discuss anything is such a pain in the ass cause if i want to talk basically anything machine learning it just gets lumped into the same demon pile

Ahhhhh. Time for my 3 month checkup

xkcd

Misconceptions

One of us! One of us!

Wellcome to the wonderful world of computers! :D

We do a LOT of neat stuff and make MANY 1's and 0's turn into OTHER 1's and 0s!

Just signed up to study computer science for university, i feel like I'm gonna get cooked very soon.

Actually I'm gonna cry. I'm having second thoughts even though i felt happy with my choice and now im doubting everything
