I’m thinking about finding an alternative to ntfy. The maintainers are increasingly vibe coding it.

There’s also an image for Copyparty if you’re already hosting stuff as containers. It’s super handy.

Those are the “park anywhere lights”.

This movie was such a perfect parody that it killed the music biopic genre for a while.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive for it. It just means we just have to do our best and understand the constraints of the real world.

I hate how these kinds of things are always framed. The implied message is always that “AI” can autonomously decide to go of the rails. Similar to the Moltbot craze. The agents have to be told to go do the things they do. They don’t have free will.

Using a combination of network science and large language models, the same underlying technology that powers systems like ChatGPT, the researchers created and monitored synthetic bot agent personas, their posts, and their interactions with one another, simulating what a coordinated AI-powered social media network might look like.

So yeah, LLMs can used nefariously to great effect. They’re essentially more sophisticated bots.

I would use Debian for servers, except that the version of Podman (at least on Debian 12) was old enough that it couldn’t do quadlets. So I went with Fedora.

Well, and there’s this ideology in this country that if you’re wealthy, it’s because to deserve to be because you’re a good person.

The flip side of that is the cops see the poor as generally up to no good.

I avoided that show for years because it looked like a typical raunchy adult cartoon.

I was very wrong.

Death’s Door was fun, but not nearly as creative and fresh as TUNIC. The puzzles in that game can never be repeated without being obvious. And I’m not talking about the language. You don’t need to decipher the language at all to complete the game.

I’ve noticed that sizes are bigger on men’s clothing, and I’m of the opinion it’s for the dopamine boost of fitting into a smaller size than you expect. If you normally wear a 36 inch waist and all of the sudden that’s actually too large, and a 34 fits, that feels good.

Marketing is all about subtle psychological tricks like that. It’s disgusting.

What’s wrong with birch trees?
