A thing I really like about the interconnected Fediverse services: they allow me to choose how I like to do things much more freely.

For example: I use Pixelfed to look at pretty pictures. Someone else posts pics on Mastodon → no worries, I can follow that from my Pixelfed account and get the images in my feed.

Another person posts interesting updates on Pixelfed, Instagram-style. I can subscribe to those from Mastodon and keep Pixelfed for photos. Others get to do their thing, I can do mine.

Annoyed by IT pros and journos who should know better but keep swallowing and regurgitating marketing hype as is.

For example:

Bluesky is not distributed.

DeepSeek is not open source.

These are terms that have – or at least used to – actual meaning.

Hei #vegedontit! Mikä kauramaito on paras puuron keittoo? (Vai onko niillä ylipäätään väliä?)

Peruspuuron keitän täysmaitoon, joten vastaava täyteläisyys olisi suotavaa.

Not claiming this is anything but my own small bubble view but:

Mastodon: Finnish book lover community joining up in troves

Taking a quick look at Bluesky: my feed has several people complaining about all the new MAGA guys appearing in their feeds.

I’ll take Mastodon, thanks! 😀

There’s something… grotesque in hearing a computer-generated “podcast” episode where the synthetic “hosts” discuss how a personal voice and human touch are essentially important for podcasts…

The morning bus.

A new person enters. Looks at the bus that is almost half full, anxious. Almost sits beside another person. Goes back to sit at a four-person booth, having to face another person. But at least they have the two adjoining seats to themselves.

The one who they almost sat with immediately moves to the outer seat, blocking the other seat, to prevent the close call from happening again.

A #HugoAward question: The Forever War won the Hugo in 1976 even though it was published already in 74. Were the rules different back then, or was there some special circumstances that made it eligible?

A great read, and a useful reminder that research is actually hard and involves much more than a web search (let alone asking an LLM!)

Searching for “python packaging library”.

DuckDuckGo #1 result: here you go, the library called “packaging”.

Google #1 result: here you go, the library called “packaging”.

Mojeek: gives me a full page of random nonsense, no link to the library

I want to support an indie project, but this just happens way too often. : (

So “compute” is supposed to be a noun now? I hate it.

Happily munching on some Carolina Reaper cheese snacks. My stomach probably will hate me and exact it’s revenge later…

Don’t run your info systems on Windows because it’s horribly error-prone, they said. Use Linux and you never have to worry about crashes, they said.

Was very cool to get this recognition from the Arts Council today!

(The sizable grant that came with it will also come in handy for future conventions!)

Hyvä tv-uutinen: uusia #AlexaRatkaisee ‑jaksoja Areenassa. Ei ihan niin hyvä: olin laskenut sen varaan, että edellinen kausi tulisi uusintakierrokselle samalla, kun pari jaksoa jäi katsomatta. Ei tullut. 😕
