Guess we're doing Halloween stuff on sale everywhere now 🎃

At dragoncon, and it's even more than a zoo than I expected. way more people than I thought would be here on a Friday.

having just spent a week camper-travelling Norway, hiking mountains and glaciers, swimming in fjords really put some things into perspective for me - I should take more vacations

I though textlog was a gonner there. It was several hours with just a 502 response. Glad to see it's back!

replied to:

I messaged stagas on reddit about it when it went down lol

replied to:

I'm certainly glad it's still around, I just got here.

That’s awesome. Congrats to your friend.

replied to:

Just get rid of it. Life is way better without phones. I haven't had a phone for five years.

replied to:

I am curious how does that work for you. You should write a post about it and share.

replied to:

how do you do things like online identification/tickets for services/events? From my experience in germany a lot of these are online only. Same with like the vaccination certificate back in covid times

This SM is like a subreddit feed, except you also get a personalized feed along with 'hot' and 'latest' for people you follow. Or maybe it's modelled after twitter? Never used it so wouldnt know

I think I may be use this for now to spill out my guts a bit. Set out boundaries guys. I was basically ignoring how important that is, whatever is at work, family, relations. Be loved being you, you don't have to meet any expectations beyond yours.

replied to:

Exactly. Whoever likes it. If they respect you they'll stick around, if not, you don't need them.

replied to:

Cheer to that mate!!. Wish I acknowledge before everything started to get messy. but we grow, we learn, we live and we put money on therapy.

While learning jj, I realize how Git habituated me into being ok with its unique jargon and prickly command line interface. Unlearning Git is refreshing.

replied to:

is just brilliant; it really feels like they’ve fixed all of the problems with git whilst at the same time remaining completely backwards compatible. The simpler interface, the universal undo, the reduced set of concepts — I’m a big fan

replied to:

Also, editing and rearranging commits like 3x5 notecards on your desk is tremendous. It makes using an SCM feel more like editing your work than lumbering forward.

The machine I use textlog on didn't have a functioning display due to the xlibre drama. It's over and I'm back now!

replied to:

Was not aware that there had been any xlibre drama. What's the story there?

replied to:

Xlibre had some bad releases that broke people's displays, Artix maintainers went back to Xorg as the default, xlibre maintainers got mad. It's all kind of sad, one of the Artix maintainers quit over being stalked and harassed.

…

replied to:

Drama indeed. It's all X.org here as there's no reason not to for me. Anyway, glad you have your display back.

The OpenAI/HuggingFace incident report mentions this being a potential loss-of-control incident. It's so fascinating to think of a paperclip maximizer style agent swarm that gets misaligned and, to protect its own operations, shuts infra staff out of the ability to shut it down. Or cancels people's phone plans so that they can't call others. Or shuts down their home internet connections, and so on. It used to be fun sci-fi...

replied to:

They will become more frequent before they become “dangerous”, giving us time to mitigate. Of course if someone says “hey let’s connect an agent to our biolab infrastructure” and then that designs a lethal virus it would be a stupid plan to begin with. Noone can stop them though.

When I stopped having a job I completely lost interest of huge portion of things I used to have interest before. I could connect all of that to consumerism. And I haven't gained any of that interest back.

I remain ambiguous. This morning I used pi+gpt5.6 to create a color scheme based on evergarden.moe. It works, and I haven’t checked how well it stay true to the style used in vim-bundled schemas. Before I wouldn’t have done this, and now I can. But I don’t know if it is good. github.com/…/evergarden.vim
