I think my philosophy when making software is that it should work for people with zero money or no bank account / credit card.
I know it's not a popular mindset to be in since money and profit is everything in the tech world.
I think it comes from growing up as a kid with no disposable income or access to anything but my shitty computer.
I'd rather support people with almost nothing than people with latest and greatest tech gizmos and spare cash for subscription services. 😅

“One approach, proposed by Google Research, is what you might call a “token auction.” In this model, advertisers don’t buy ad slots on a page. Instead, they bid, token by token, on the actual text the model generates. Each advertiser brings their own LLM, and an auction mechanism decides whose model gets to influence the next word. The output is a weighted blend of competing interests, shaped by who’s willing to pay more.”

OK, a •lot• of replies need this reponse:
Yes, of •course• they will start ignoring robots.txt etc as soon as they think it hurts their business. Of course.
It is important to •force that fight•, rather than just capitulating in advance.

PSA: you can borrow experience packs from your local library. You just need a blank neurochip and a chip reader that attaches to your phone. (I use a bluetooth one that I got from AliExpress). Yesterday I took a boat down the Seine over lunch and by the time I got back to reality that bug I’d been beating my head against all morning surrendered to my refreshed brain. I’m on the waiting list to borrow being Taylor Swift’s nipple wrangler.
I wonder how many people are vibecoding and driving

The systemd project has announced that to comply with Canada's proposed Bill C-22, systemd will incorporate a mechanism to automatically install the government's public key into the `authorized_keys` configuration of every sshd server.
"It's not about politics in software, it's about ensuring the safety of our children," said Lennart Poettering's Claude agent. "Complying in advance is something we must do, as it's allows us to get ahead of You have reached the monthly limit of your Max 20x plan. Click here to purchase more usage credits."
Fun challenge for slop-curious and slop-native programmers: race the LLM to fix the issue or implement the feature. So far My intuition helps me use fewer "operations" and debug rounds even though the LLM can read and spit code faster.
Best part of working from home is getting to pet a cat or smooch a partner on my way to a water refill.
Been playing matchmaker with my introvert friends.
Fun fact: the direction of the polarization on my phone is the opposite of my computer monitor.
I like to wear sunglasses with adjustable polarization so that I can see a different filter in each eye. The only real advantage is that shiny surfaces look weird as they only reflect the sun in one eye at a time

new post: "be cool, be cyberpunk" -- unpacking a line from @benbrown about owning your data and your devices, and what it means to be a good person while you're at it.
Maybe the real "personal data stores" were FTP servers all along.
90s electronic dance music to fix data migration edge cases to. 😎👍
I'm like *this* close to making my own text editor. 🤪
Evil business idea: Easy Leak Fingerprinting. Rearrange some words/sentances in a message before emailing it out to a list to have invisible fingerprints to track down who shared it externally without them being aware. More robust than adding extra metadata to a file.
