@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, it’s a shitshow. MS overconfirms all my prejudices constantly.

Ignoring e-mail after lunch works great, though. :-)

Our timetracking is offline for over a week because of reasons. The responsible bunglers are falling by the skin of their teeth:

  1. The error message neither includes the timeframe nor a link to an announcement article.
  2. The HTML page needs to download JS in order to display the fucking error message.
  3. Proper HTTP status codes are clearly only for big losers.
  4. Despite being down, heaps of resources are still fetched.

I find it really fascinating how one can screw up on so many levels. This is developed inhouse, I’m just so glad that we’re not a software engineering company. Oh wait. How embarrassing.

Sem palavras pra descrever esta baixeza de artigo:

https://www.publico.pt/2025/07/04/impar/opiniao/banir-smartphones-escolas-impacto-bemestar-2138957?cx=ultimas_1

  1. é citado um único estudo baseado em testemunhos de alunos (ficam de fora pais e profs), um estudo qualitativo por isso não generalizável. Mm assim, os autores do artigo copiam as conclusões do estudo, e o Público tb parece estar ok com artigos decalcados

  2. os autores do artigo são consultores que dão formação a pais e educadores sobre problemas do digital nas crianças, por isso basear opinião apenas num estudo q os ignora é ainda mais wtf

  3. argumento de q crianças têm acesso a dispositivos fora da escola é parvo - tb têm acesso a tabaco e álcool, por isso tb os devemos permitir na escola? come on

  4. e é muito conveniente clamar pela regulamentação das redes sociais sem especificar a forma (proibir anúncios? introduzir idades mínimas? não sabemos).

No final é o costume, os pais e profs que se desenmerdem, a responsabilidade é deles e não das empresas que criam mecanismos de viciação, claro

** Om nom nom LLMs, in which I respond to Simon Willison’s analogy **
I am hesitant to wade into the tumultuous waters that are the discourse around generative AI and LLMs, but this morning I came across a thing that so thoroughly melted my brain I feel uncontrollably compelled to respond.

In-reply-to » OH, FUCK ME DEAD! On the way home from today's walk I saw easily 800 fireflies! Yes, over eight hundred! That was absolutely amazing. First time this year and already this many. Crazy! They were just fricking everywhere in the entire forest. I counted to one hundred and then stopped. The darker it got, the more fireflies came out and glowed around. :-) There were spots where in under ten seconds I counted 20 glowworms. Super sick. Soooo beautiful. <3

Before I left I tried to call a mate to join me, who apparently wasn’t home yet, though, didn’t pick up. But in the very end I surprisingly met her in the forest and we were super happy to encounter all the fireflies. She also said that today was her first time this year to spot them. I’ll definitely check them out in the next days, too.

Apart from all the glowworms, I also came across some goats, two deer (one of which only the ears showing out of the grass), according to the sounds I sadly must have scared up four more, bucketloads of tadpoles, four big and very active anthills next to each other and three bats to finish the stroll off. I call that extremely successful.

Saw this on Mastodon:

https://racingbunny.com/@mookie/114718466149264471

18 rules of Software Engineering

  1. You will regret complexity when on-call
  2. Stop falling in love with your own code
  3. Everything is a trade-off. There’s no “best” 3. Every line of code you write is a liability 4. Document your decisions and designs
  4. Everyone hates code they didn’t write
  5. Don’t use unnecessary dependencies
  6. Coding standards prevent arguments
  7. Write meaningful commit messages
  8. Don’t ever stop learning new things
  9. Code reviews spread knowledge
  10. Always build for maintainability
  11. Ask for help when you’re stuck
  12. Fix root causes, not symptoms
  13. Software is never completed
  14. Estimates are not promises
  15. Ship early, iterate often
  16. Keep. It. Simple.

Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed – but this doesn’t “add” to the program. Don’t use “software is never done” as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.

In-reply-to » @bender Both Gopher and Mastodon are a way for me to “babble”. 😅 I basically shut down Gopher in favor of Mastodon/Fedi last year. But the Fediverse doesn’t really work for me. It’s too focused on people (I prefer topics) and I dislike the addictive nature of likes and boosts (I’m not disciplined enough to ignore them). Self-hosting some Fedi thing is also out of the question (the minimalistic daemons don’t really support following hashtags, which is a must-have for me).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Me too 😅 – Speaking of which i know you’ve lost a bit of “mojo” or “energy” (so have i of late), rest assured, I want to keep the status quo here with what we’ve built, keep it simple and change very little. What we’ve built has worked very well for 5+ years and we have at least 3 very strong clients (maybe 4 or 5?).

Essa tentativa de revisionismo é uma afronta a todos os que sofreram sob o jugo da ditadura. Mais grave ainda é a postura ostensivamente ofensiva e arrogante que o “professor” tem perante quem se identifica com ideais de Esquerda. Em vez de promover o debate democrático, Mithá Ribeiro opta pela caricatura e pelo insulto, tratando os seus opositores ideológicos como inimigos a abater. O autor de “Um século de escombros”, livro que dedicou, entre outros, a Steve Bannon (o fascista que arquitetou a linha política seminal de Trump) demoniza o pensamento progressista, rotulando-o de forma simplista e maliciosa, como se defender a justiça social, igualdade ou direitos humanos fosse sinónimo de ignorância, fragilidade ou subversão.

Num momento em que o discurso público exige responsabilidade e rigor, a presença de figuras como Mithá Ribeiro nos espaços de decisão e influência representa um retrocesso. A sua glorificação de um passado ditatorial e o desrespeito constante pelas vozes divergentes são sinais claros de um projeto político que rejeita a convivência democrática e que procura, através da provocação, normalizar a intolerância e a ignorância histórica. Esta retórica despudorada corrói a democracia e instiga o ódio.

Maybe you’ll enjoy this as well:

I still have one of my first modems, a Creatix LC 144 VF:

Image

I think this was the modem that I used when I first connected to the internet, but I’m not sure.

I plugged it in again and it still works:

Image

The firmware appears to be from 1994, which sounds about right. I don’t think we had internet access before that. We certainly did use local mailboxes, though. (Or BBS’s, as you might call them.)

I now want to actually use that modem again. For the moment, I can only use a phone to dial into it, I lack a second modem to actually establish a connection. Here’s a video:

Image

Not spectacular, but the modem does answer after me entering ATA.

I bought another cheap old modem on eBay and am now waiting for it to arrive. Once it’s here, I want to simulate an actual dial-up session, hopefully from OS/2 or Windows 3.x.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s alright haha! i don’t expect anyone to listen/watch in full or with full attention bc it’s so long lmao

the thing with PHP for me is that i… feel like it hits a kind of simplicity that i can understand? it’s so plain but can be very powerful. i quite like that. as much as i can learn something infinitely more powerful, PHP hits a comfortable thing where i can handle things like backend sqlite DBs AND how a page is rendered, without requiring a complex frontend with its own quirks (like ruby on rails, which as much as i know and love it, can be heavy).

but i totally get you! PHP security is very scary. i’m always worried that i’m messing something up. it’s why the PHP application i’m working on i have dockerized by default for a small but extra layer of protection

i’ll try to not get discouraged tysm for your advice

Buying a TV these days, means trying to avoid endless enshitification:
-Spyware and adware
-Shitty AI upscaling/ frame interpolation
-HW that breaks after 2 - 3 years
-One off OS, dead on arrival
-Android OS, that starts lagging after the third update
-8 buttons worth of ads, on your remote

You probably have to make some kind of a compromise. I thought that was buying from some other brand like Hyundai, but that one also felt into some of those categories and just broke, after less than 3 years of use. At this point I’ll probably go back to LG and hope their HW is still reliable and the rest manageable… It has AI bullshit and knowing LG, probably some spyware you have to try your best to get rid of, can buy a remote with “only” 2 ads on it, some web-based OS shared between all their TVs, that usually gets 4 - 5 years worth of updates and works decently enough afterwards.

At this point, I’ll probably settle for anything that doesn’t literally fall apart, not even 3 years in, like the Hyundai did.
