"When we think about other types of media, such as text, photography, or film, it’s easy to infer the character of their artifacts. If someone says they’re going to show us a picture, we expect to see a rectangular artifact depicting a place or object. If it’s a physical picture, we expect it to be made of pigment on paper. If it’s a virtual picture, we expect it to be made of pixels.
The depicted place or object does not interfere with the substantive, constructive character of the medium. All digital pictures are rectangular arrays of pixels."

Hello World. 1st post from a new #linux install. It's been a decade+ since I've tried using 'nix for my daily. looking forward to this next run 'round the spiral.
[#]bluefin if that matters to you. I haven't used fedora as primary 'nix since...1996? could be fun. deb-untu has been the usual for long, long time. For n months Win11 will remain top dog, eventually deposed. maybe.
The host is my asprires-to-be-permanent laptop, a #framework 16. What a wonderful piece of hardware and culture engineering - the good kind. nourishing, sustaining.
Onward ho!

^^ this! ^^
"...more people should use the internet not just as consumers, but as creators (not of content but of internet). There is a lot of creativity on the web that can be unlocked by making web development more accessible to artists, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and non-web developers of all types. The softer the learning curve of getting online, the more people will build, share, play, and create there."

Can LLMs write better code if you keep asking them to “write better code”?

"In today's world, the sum of all technology on the planet already
outweighs the sum of all biology: the technosphere is heavier than
the biosphere. This fact alone should give us pause and motivate a
reevaluation of our trajectory. This "big tech" isn't just about the
corporations we often discuss; it's about a fundamental shift in the
material substrate of our planet and, consequently, in the
existential fabric of our society. "

I generally keep my political opinions verbal only, because I find it so hard to do so productively in text. I fail to communicate head to head, heart to heart, mind to mind.

i was puzzled by jwz's dislike of hashtags in posts, but having used them for a while myself I'm now inclined to agree.
They're visually intrusive (some clients do a better job of integrating tho), inflate the character count, lead to perennial "what tags to put this in that isn't every 3rd word" decision fatigue, and lead to spamming completely unrelated feeds.
(all above can also be read as: my apologies to the patchwork quilters and jj anime fans)

If this is you, DONT try fix by removing and re-initializing the machine. You'll lose all cached images and also the ability to pull new images.
At least I think that's what happened to me. At any rate, I'm currently broken and stuck.

@mkennedy on the Mastodon vs Bluesky vs Twitter engagement stats thread mentioned in your recent podcast, which I can't find in my mobile client to reply in-situ to, so this unthreaded thread reply ; -)
I follow you and show on Mastodon. To my recollection I've not seen any of your posts first hand.
Perhaps a no algorithm social only works well (for building-maintaining community) when following a small number of folks or relatively quiet tags.

"...a genetic analysis of these hazelnuts published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests Indigenous people of British Columbia actively cultivated this crop, deliberately transporting beaked hazelnuts across nearly 800 kilometers to cultivate the nutritious and reliable food source in new regions."

computing for me is an endless quest, a twisting maze of passages, all different. it's never done, I'm never full. the it changes constantly but the pattern doesn't.
gaming, blog writing, blog reading, digitizing, data munging, programming, emailing, mapping, building servers, social networking, doom scrolling,...
i put in 8, 12, 16 hours and "it" is still incomplete, unfinished, hanging, hungry
i put it down not because it's enough, but because i just can't keep going
or people i care about will... well bad things will happen(tm)!

put my computer away at 9pm tonight and felt good about it. then realised that's rare, very rare. so rare that in 35 years of daily computing, I can almost count the number of times it's happened.
and that is very, very strange.
why? what's going on here?
