The dream of Twitter circa 2007 is alive in 2026

Twitter was 140 chars. That makes it double the dream, right?

azért aranyos, hogy egyből sandbox-ba kell tenni (a Virtualbox egy sandbox), hogy szét ne barmoljon mindent a gépen vagy a szerveren, vagy máshol, azért alapvetően békés kis állatkák ezek az ai chatbotok, na

It's cute because you have to put it in a sandbox right away (Virtualbox is a sandbox) so it doesn't mess up everything on the machine or the server or anywhere else, but these AI chatbots are basically peaceful little animals, right?

Married for 13 years. Still in love, but struggling. So many paths we could go.

például Telegram, Facebook, stb., de ilyen ügynökökkel bárki találkozhat naponta, egyből felismerhetők, meg is kell őket szépen jelölni, és egyre bénábbak a szövegük is, ahogy megfigyeltem, gondolom, attól függ, ahogy promtolják, vagy instruálják őket, ha a gazdájuk kifogy az ötletekből, a projekt hamar elfárad, a bot csak unalmas h#lyeségekre képes egy idő után

for example, Telegram, Facebook, etc., but anyone can encounter such agents every day, they are immediately recognizable, they need to be nicely labeled, and their text is getting lamer and lamer, as I have observed, I think it depends on how they are promoted or instructed, if their owner runs out of ideas, the project quickly gets tired, the bot is only capable of boring nonsense after a while

Power and money somehow emit the whackadoodle in all of us.

I actually disagree. This guy has been very good at performing The Good Guy for a very long time, but there have been signs all along.

Well said. My post was glib. More correctly, they are multipliers. Same goes for Musk. "Musk’s ex-wife Justine, whom he married in 2000 and divorced in 2008, says the man the world began to see in 2020 was the one she’d always known." -slate.com

everyone! it’s time ☕

Morning from Tasmania time for me

this will be the platform that fixes me

NIH syndrome? I am guilty of it too. I love implementing things from scratch, you learn a lot by doing so and you get to own the codebase end-to-end, so no surprises and fighting around others’ choices. It can get exhausting too though, in the end I succumb to using off-the-shelf components because my primary goals move at a higher level.

I don't see much point in trying to build software at a "higher level", like whole products and services. I'm going to go down low and train myself on the fundamentals. Hopefully in time I'll be able to contribute to the foundational bits. You're right, it does get exhausting. At some point you just want to rebuild everything, which is not possible.

I'm going to go down low and train myself on the fundamentals. When I wrote an HTTP sever (albeit HTTP/1.1), I learned how primitive the HTTP protocol its magic became a skill. It is freeing understanding how things work and allows me to choose where to spend time with more intention.

I am writing a GIS app for Android and iOS. Any opinions/suggestions?

Make it easy for users to export polygons. My municipal GIS didn't for some reason so I had to guess by moving the mouse around and manually type the coordinates into Marble.

Thanks for the suggestion. Export feature added.

This seems nice

Google Play

for a moment I thought someone had published it 😂 but soon I hope we’ll have it on both iPhone and Android app stores. We’re in the process.

it is 19.45. i am still working

Hello, textlog!

hello! welcome! :)

I love the idea. I do miss the early twitter vibes.

Hello World 👋

So, I just got an invite to the new W Social (EU) platform. It requires proper ID authentication - so actual provable humans are on there. Feels good and slightly optimistic. Let's see how it goes.

created a poll:

How often do you your , typically?

Love the idea! Love the UI!

ty! :D welcome!

Ordered JBL Charge 6, waiting for delivery today. Will mount into my bike and will listen to music while commuting 25km to the office. I'm a victim of marketing, seeing an ad, buying stuff.

Previously bought Do Nothing Club cap after friends visiting us and we discussed it while eating pizza; and then my wife got an AD on Instagram. Meta is listening for conversations to sell ads.

You mean you and everyone else around you. Those are really loud! Though JBLs have the best quality.

…

"Everyone else" around me while commuting are only planes departing from Schiphol Airport. ;-)

If you left your current industry, what would you do for a living?

Something with people, bartender maybe, or something with no critical thinking, delivery person, taxi driver and such. Or I go back to being a DJ as I was doing when I was young.

that's really cool!

i think id love to do something along the lines of (physical) product design im currently a software engineer. ive been into keyboards for a while and designed a good number. few things are as satisfying as taking an idea from something on paper or in my head to a shiny, pretty thing to play with

…

Electrician. This is not a farfetched idea, by the way. Tumultuous times; each day could be my last workday.

…

You are not the only one. [warn: that site may not be what you want to be on]

Ah, a recurring question that undesirably keeps me awake and staring at my bedroom ceiling these past couple of years due to all this AI apocalypse rhetoric. Wish I had a firm answer. Preferably, not something frontline customer-facing, and where I can still exercise agency.
