       I love fedi because there are so many of a very specific few types of guy and I enjoy interacting with all of themIn particular, you’ve got: software engineer in their fifties or sixties who spearheaded development on a crucial open source project that can be found credited in the notices on nearly every modern device, and is still maintaining it, xkcd [REDACTED]developer whose last seven toots read to the effect of “mrrp mew meow ow.” They are the world’s leading expert on parser combinators.that one person who is all in on their passion project and is more productive on it in their spare time than you are at your jobprivacy enthusiast that takes other people’s viewing preferences on this site (CWs, filtering) just as seriously as their ability to keep self custody of their data onlineseasoned nonprofit advocate who hates the state of the tech industry and is not afraid to be snarky about itwriter that makes explaining tech look easy (jealous, but I’m here for it)

       @ariadne @dalias 90% of what people call deep research seems to be “I don’t want to do research, but I want to be someone who has done research”

       @ariadne I think pipewire may have chosen to break things off with you because you weren’t listening to their input It’s like you didn’t hear it

       @ariadne I’m in the same boat and I have trouble finding non windows key keycaps. There are a few vendors I’m a frequent purchaser at (NovelKeys, Osume) that I’ve asked to start shipping a super key, to no avail. Those who do ship a “super”:CannonKeys (great quality)many sets on KBDFans (not as good quality, but fun patterns, maybe a manufacturer that isn’t PBTFans would be good quality)

       @ariadne that makes sense. I’m convinced that innovations much earlier up the langchain are far more useful to humans

       @ariadne They seem to think that copyright enforcement is The solution to the AI bubble, which sucks. The only answer I could ever stand behind was that copyright as it is is a very imperfect tool to regulate the slop pipeline, but it can and should be used as a stopgap until we have broader reaching solutions. If someone thinks contemporary copyright doesn’t come out against the existence of generative models, I think there’s a real possibility they’ve misapplied the law to the tech. But as you point out there’s no resources to fight that fight.

       @ariadne lying through their teeth because reality isn’t marketable? Sounds like the AI industry alright, at least in my opinion
