I went to an event with like 25 trans people last night hanging out and having fun and it's so damn affirming and comfortable to be in an environment like that

The world is depressing me- My home country is falling apart- The world in general is falling apart- People are vibecoding and slop generating all the fun out of the domains of creativity I care about- Dealing with a lot of other difficult things personally that I don't even want to talk about hereIt's just a hard time. Sometimes everything feels impossible. I'm still going, though.

There's a line from the infamous "Frozen Peas" audio by Orson Welles that I think about a lot:"Isn't that the fun of it?"Orson was being kind of an asshole in that thing but for some reason the line remains in my mind, especially when people excitedly show me AI-generated stuff and say and look, I didn't have to do any of the creative stuff!Well, isn't that the fun of it?Is this really want we want? To make a world where people don't participate in creativity?

fwiw, I know that "sucks" as an insult probably has a different origin that isn't sexual.but think of what nouns (dick/cock/balls/ass) most commonly appear after sucks TODAY, so my point stands

This blogpost makes an astoundingly good case about LLMs I hadn't considered before. The collapse of public forums (like Stack Overflow) for programming answers coincides directly with the rise of programmers asking for answers from chatbots *directly*. Those debugging sessions become part of a training set that now *only private LLM corporations have access to*. This is something that "open models" seemingly can't easily fight. https://michiel.buddingh.eu/enclosure-feedback-loop

Polyamory is great, and it makes me very happy when my partners are spending time with other people who also make them happy (extra so, but not only, when mutuals!)

RE: https://tech.lgbt/@JadedBlueEyes/115967791152135761Cloudflare, who certainly has enough resources to *not* pull this kind of bullshit, wastes peoples' time and disrespects people actually working on decentralized networking tech by acting like a pile of vibe coded slop running on top of their proprietary infrastructure is a legit implementation of a protocol.Deeply insulting. Props to @JadedBlueEyes for calling this out (and for actually doing real implementation work on Matrix tech).
