  Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person on earth who couldn't care less about a new GTA game. I mean, sure, I'll probably play it several years in the future when it's on sale, but still..

  why is it "pit stop" and not "wroom service"

  #MastodonChoiceAdventure You make your way to the port, and wonder about the massive ships, bigger than some towns you've seen. Made of metal! How do they float? Smaller boats line the pier, some selling fishing products. At least something is normal here. There's also a line of market stalls, and a church nearby attracts your attention.

  If you use llm as a tool, you don't get to use it as an excuse. The budget was wrong, excel did it! The logo is bad, photoshop did it! The main problem with those examples is that both of them integrate some level of llm now, but you get my point. The lander didn't crash because powerpoint had an issue, but because humans picked a wrong tool for the job. Gog didn't post a bad picture because llm told them to, but because human made an error. They should have just said...

  That previous brain dump reminded me of when the zoom CEO said he wants to send a bot to meetings so he can spend more time at the beach or whatever. My reaction was to ask: does the bot speak with the voice and authority of the CEO? If no, what's the point of the bot? If yes, what's the point of the CEO?

  #MastodonChoiceAdventure The stalls mostly sell what seems, at first, hand-made items, but they are way too identical. Some stalls sell unfamiliar foods, but their smells still remind you of how long ago you had anything to eat. A couple of people with official looking clothes walk near the stalls, and you can sense that other people are wary of them.

  Any Norwegians out there who could recommend things to do/see in Bergen this summer?

  #MastodonChoiceAdventure Trying not to attract any attention, you go to a booth and show great interest in what you suspect is a very ornate bottle opener. It has a wooden handle which looks like it's been carved by hand, but all of the items are perfectly identical. People around you grow quiet and you sense that the official-looking people are coming closer.

  @Lydie@tech.lgbt Back ~25 years ago when the game company I was at was developing bluetooth enabled multiplayer, we put a lot of phones in metallic pots.

  @infobeautiful@vis.social and the public transit between the population centers is, as I understand, pretty nonexistent.

  @Tutanota I'll buy the "think of the children" stance after and only after the same politicians other actions clearly have been for children's benefit (and not just *their* children's benefit)

  Given that #swytchbike keeps pushing delivery date forward (I'm *fairly* certain this was supposed to arrive in 2025), I wonder if I "preorder today" I'll get my delivery faster..

  First book of Asimov's foundation done. One good side of old scifi is that the books were reasonably short.

  Thought of a "fun" rule addition to chess: If at any point there is a situation where one (and only one) of your own pieces (with exception of your queen) threatens your king, you lose. This simulates the domestic politics. If several pieces threaten the king at the same time, he's safe, since the would-be assassins watch each other.

  TIL (well, few days ago) that there's a whole genre of "take pop songs and make weird metal versions of them" Here's "call me maybe" that's fairly unrecognizable but in its own right rather good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6hWq0UT3yo

  Started reading Asimov's Foundation. When it comes to old sci-fi, it's on a totally different level.

  Dear #photography fediverse. I make "new year demos" (as in "demoscene")annually (some here https://solhsa.com/breakdown.html) and I'm thinking of making a jigsaw puzzle themed one this year. The demos are released at the beginning of the year, so I'm a bit early this year. Do you have some nice photos you would like to let me use? You'll be credited, naturally, but this is a pro bono thingy. #photo #photography #nature #art
