Time to sieze the next 14 hours or soon 4 hours of sleep. Travel is a resource management sim where you juggle sleep deprivation and caffeine. 🤪 Glad I get my weekend to recoup
@makeworld LMK if you get some utility out of your muse. I got stuck learning python EEG signal processing using neural nets and pytorch and got distracted

A situation that appears more and more, though, is that "with great power comes great responsibility." When using Free Software, you might only have yourself to rely on to maintain the software you use.
Don't get me wrong, most maintainers will go through great lengths to help their users, but that's from being kind and decent human beings, not from being contractually required to.
When using Free Software, it's also "free as in puppy": no upfront cost, but maintainance is on you.

How much more of this sort of thing could a cooperative of buyers help bootstrap, even simply by having the first thousand customers pre-signed up?
But a radical consumer co-op could foster the new business as a worker cooperative.

“Contrary to common sentiment, the data also shows that businesses benefit from cycling infrastructure. If well-designed, a proper cycling network drives far more people to businesses than cars do.”
Bike-lanes mean business.

The best part of travelling (other than cool food) is putting my offline-first setup to the test. Fitting that I'll be working on refactoring an offline transport for our sentry setup at work.

anyway 'Describe for people who are blind or have low vision' seems to me a shit-assed prompt for image descriptions. putting it like that only invites people to other the end-user of the image description. if it was, say, 'Describe what's in the image and what it means' that would be both useful instructions (many people seem confused as to the purpose of image descriptions and end up writing captions like 'Funny meme', which tells nothing) and invite the user to put themselves in the position of someone having to interpret an image solely thru its description

I need more electronic gizmos to wear around to up the cyberpunk aesthetic.
My larger serpent rejected it's meal. Be weary of rushing in to new exciting prospects this month. You may fare better enjoying what you already have.

Canada's English language papers, big city papers, small town papers, provincial papers, national papers are all owned by an American Republican who bought then all, bought 98% of papers, for just this reason. To subvert Canada.
Vancouver Sun same owner 🇺🇸
The Province same owner 🇺🇸
Calgary Herald same owner 🇺🇸
Edmonton Journal same owner 🇺🇸
All SUN papers same owner 🇺🇸

98% of 🇨🇦 papers have the same US Republican owner including your small town.
I'd be extremely impressed if an AI could track down this bug that spans several threads and 4 different modules and 3 different build systems. I kinda doubt it though.
A programmer is a entity used to create race conditions out of user stories.

There’s an entire rant buried in here but, in short, I absolutely agree.
