I'm just a nerd girl.

  • Depends on the burrito. If it looks small enough that I can finish it without it starting to fall apart in my hands, then I probably can eat it that way. Most of the burritos in the local texmex places though? Yuge.

  • Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains

  • That must have been frustrating when the user base responded "but I already got my Blåhaj"

  • Frankly they should have nuked "OneNote for Windows 10" long ago and quietly replaced it with the Office version. Or better yet, not launch a separate version to begin with under the same name. But this is Microsoft, having multiple apps with the same name is just the norm.

  • Brian Eno: “The biggest problem about AI is not intrinsic to AI. It’s to do with the fact that it’s owned by the same few people”

    Jump

  • AI business is owned by a tiny group of technobros, who have no concern for what they have to do to get the results they want ("fuck the copyright, especially fuck the natural resources") who want to be personally seen as the saviours of humanity (despite not being the ones who invented and implemented the actual tech) and, like all big wig biz boys, they want all the money.

    I don't have problems with AI tech in the principle, but I hate the current business direction and what the AI business encourages people to do and use the tech for.

  • In SMITE's case, the characters come from mythological sources and those sources are public domain. However, the way they're depicted was chosen by the game developer and their depictions are copyrighted by them.

    If someone copied the list of characters and made their own game with their own artwork and gameplay and everything, SMITE's creators could do absolutely nothing about it. But if they copied any substantial elements from SMITE directly, then it starts to go in the direction where lawyers start rising eyebrows. At that point it's no longer making original stuff based on the same PD material.

  • I have no idea why the makers of LLM crawlers think it's a good idea to ignore bot rules. The rules are there for a reason and the reasons are often more complex than "well, we just don't want you to do that". They're usually more like "why would you even do that?"

    Ultimately you have to trust what the site owners say. The reason why, say, your favourite search engine returns the relevant Wikipedia pages and not bazillion random old page revisions from ages ago is that Wikipedia said "please crawl the most recent versions using canonical page names, and do not follow the links to the technical pages (including history)". Again: Why would anyone index those?

  • Physicists vs Normal People

    Jump

  • There's this Finnish joke that doesn't translate well, about a physicist who got pulled over by police. "Uh, I guess I accelerated a bit."

    (A particle accelerator is a machine that accelerates little bits. Do you get it now?)

  • Some people may be asking "is that a bit too many crabs?"

    The answer is that it's an adequate amount of crabs. For that task at least.

  • [stern stare]

    Forgotten the history, have we? I was referring to Microsoft's tactics in the early 2000s.

    Crypto bros have watered down the term and made it a laughing matter. They ruin everything they touch. Goddamn it.

  • Wait a second. You're expecting Google to not FUD? Ha ha ha oh wow. I mean I didn't actually expect them to do so, but yeah.

  • Trump calls Tesla boycott 'illegal' and says he's buying one to support Elon Musk

    Jump

  • Okay, guess I'm technically not boycotting Tesla. I just straight up can't afford a car, not in this economy. Nor do I care, because there's a bus stop just down the street. Not that I'm intimidated by Trump because I'm not American and he can't prosecute this shit even domestically.

  • uBlock Origin is no longer available in the Chrome store

    Jump

  • I run ad blockers. As a security measure. Ad companies collect insane amount of data and do a bunch of shady stuff whenever they can get away with it.

    I want to support websites whenever I'm able, but the way ad companies operate just ain't it.

    If they clean up their act, maybe then I could stop using ad blockers, but it's been decades and I don't have high hopes.

    Also using ad blockers for performance and usability reasons. For example, I used to use a bunch of Fandom wikis and couldn't understand why people hated the UI. Then I saw how Fandom looks like without ad blockers and holy shit how can humans live like this

  • What Fediverse services do you use?

    Jump

  • Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy and Bookwyrm. They all seem to cover most of my social media needs which (in all other cases beside Lemmy) can be described as shouting in the void and being happy if someone else is there too.

  • Like programming in bash

  • There's always the old piece of wisdom from the Unix jungle: "If you write a complex shellscript, sooner or later you'll wish you wrote it in a real programming language."

    I wrote a huge PowerShell script over the past few years. I was like "Ooh, guess this is a resume item if anyone asks me if I know PowerShell." ...around the beginning of the year I rewrote the bloody thing in Python and I have zero regrets. It's no longer a Big Mush of Stuff That Does a Thing. It's got object orientation now. Design patterns. Things in independent units. Shit like that.

  • Author of Upcoming Elon Musk Biography Says ‘There Is No Evidence’ Billionaire Has Any ‘Intellectual Achievements’

  • There's this website that listed bunch of stuff about Kim Dotcom and his ventures. (the list barely scratches the surface. But the important thing is that people thought he was hack decades ago.)

    When I visited the site last time, I was like "ohhhhh, they've found a picture of Kim wearing an SS helmet. I really didn't know what else I was expecting."

  • Meta warns EU it will run to Trump whenever Zuckerberg feels company is being unfairly punished

    Jump

  • Luckily for Zuckerberg, then, Meta isn't unfairly punished. It's going to be punished quite fairly.

  • Stop the historical revisionism

  • They probably didn't have rulers. Or compasses. It was such an early era that geometry wasn't invented yet.

    Just browsing my photos from 10 years ago. I was amused when I browsed the university library computer science artificial intelligence shelf. ...I sometimes wish AI had stayed at this level.

    People keep telling me that Nuon is probably the most obscure video game platform ever created. Oh, they've not heard how the greybeards entertain themselves.
