  Esmu uzlicis iekš @ojars@git.kapteinis.lv divus projektus, kas bija internetos, un šķiet sen nebija apčubināti. Kopā ar @claudeai, kamēr jaunākā no Kapteiņiem gulēja klēpī, šķiet izdevās ieviest nedaudz kartību. 1) Ata Āres "Apostrofs" priekš macOS (option+4 = €, shift+3 = #) https://git.kapteinis.lv/ojars/latvian-apostrofs/releases/tag/v2026.05.2 2) Un Reiņa Adoviča "Pareizrakstība" (arī macOS) https://git.kapteinis.lv/ojars/latvian-spell-checker/releas...

  To be honest, it was a huge improvement that I fixed my @pixelfed server so it can handle pictures and videos from @threads and Bluesky. Folks on Threads post huge albums, but on Mastodon only the first four photos are visible. What I don’t know is whether, if I @ojars@pixel.kapteinis.lv repost something what came from Threads or Bluesky, people on other Pixelfed servers can see it.

  Two things: Now more or less everyone in Latvia knows that you should never trust a person who owns a Pomeranian. It would be nice if Budanov could, just for once, try not to comment on something — like, we would be totally fine if his opinion about the possible defence minister of Latvia had not been made public.

  My advice: download open models, self-host them, and use OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models to build your own AI infrastructure and solutions. Be ready for the moment when you can become independent from these companies. Seize the means of production! AI may never be as cheap as it is today: https://www.axios.com/2026/03/12/ai-models-costs-ipo-pricing

  If you work in IT and aren’t experimenting with AI models, you’re making life harder — or even paving your own path to becoming unemployable. When management comes up with buzzword-driven ideas, you should not only push back but also show where AI can add real value. Saying ‘AI is bad’ just gets you labelled as a grumpy person who can’t move with the times :/
