@technomancy Delta Chat is a great recommendation for anyone thinking “We need a new chat protocol”. 😉

(Seriously, it does work but it’s not ready for the public.)

@mcc Separately, I'd had a very personal take: investing into the crypto industry, given their lobbying goals and political influence, may or may not align with your values. HTH. :)

@alex avec un délai de cooldown ça le ferait: Sauf urgence de la mort du budget, si ton texte est rejeté alors tu dois attendre un an avant de pouvoir retenter ta chance.

On pourrait jouer avec ces délais… genre le 49.3 pénalise le groupe qui l’utilise, etc.

@Aschenbrenner Microsoft’s IDE

Things sound better today! 😌

Maybe I’ll even get a tiny DAC, or a subwoofer to get deep bass… Maybe one day. Not in a rush since I rarely listen music that would benefit from it.

@Aschenbrenner And inside a browser too! j/k :)

@gamingonlinux So sad. :AAAAAA:

Remember when Altman tried to sell the world that GPT-5 had "PhD-level" intelligence? :thinkhappy:

J’ai dû mettre à jour mon iPhone 15 de iOS 18 vers le “nouveau” iOS 26… L’ancienne version était plus rapide et moins énergivore me semble-t-il — sans compter les changements visuels dont tout le monde se plaint.

Marche forcée vers l’avant, quitte à perdre en confort pour pouvoir vendre de nouveaux produits, bien sûr. Les prochaines mises à jours seront encore plus lentes, jusqu’au point de rupture d’un hardware qui fonctionnait bien mieux avec un OS plus léger. Pfff. 🤦‍♂️

@rysiek Maybe that's why @signalapp is slow today.

Down with computing ✊🏻

all these blog posts about vibe coding are such a snooze fest

it's like reading restaurant reviews instead of watching the chef cook

@temptoetiam C'est les déms 🇺🇸: une équipe de châtons tous mignons pour arrêter un bulldozer.

Ultimately I just don't think you're ever going to get me excited about paying someone else money so I can not do the things I enjoy, and for me, at least, this goes double for things I'm kind of bad at.

Combine that with everything else bad about the AI industry as it exists today and, well, is it any wonder I don't like hearing about it?

1st in kindle results for me!

I’ve launched a Citation Needed membership drive to celebrate publishing my 100th recap issue!

Citation Needed critically covers cryptocurrency, the crypto industry, and its influence on policy. Paid subscriptions support much more than just the newsletter — here’s what goes into this work:

@7heo Yes. I'm glad you have something you enjoy too!

From what I've read, both metal and ceramic have their pros and cons. I'm pretty sure that the ceramic burr in the Skerton is not super high quality, that's why I can get a much more efficient metal burr for "cheap". IIUC a metal burr is easier to make sharp, but will dull before a ceramic burr because ceramic is a harder material.

TBH, I think it'll take me years before noticing a change with either, for home usage. :)

I found a nice #coffee grinder recently, the Chestnut C3S. It's quite remarkable IMHO, it feels sturdy, it's fast, and it does its job perfectly (maybe not as well as The Comandante, but < $$$).

It's reconciled me with my old espresso machine, b/c I could experiment with different grinds quickly until I found one that allows for a decent espresso. :blobcatcoffee:

My Hario Skerton is officially retired. It has served me well but its ceramic burr has gotten less sharp after all these years.

I'm looking into #GitHub Actions to build a #rust app for different platforms (e.g. linux/amd6, windows/amd64, macos/aarch64). I pretty quickly ran into issues on MacOS re: dynamically linked libs (hello openssl!). I wonder if there are some ready made recipes on the fediverse. Do let me know if you know! 🙏🏻🤓

(I want to take advantage of MS' free CPU and runners: even if GitHub is a hot pile of 💩 these days, there's still some free stuff to extract from MS.)
