“run the complex function that is RedinaKott.exe” this may be the most horrifying future that @aptshadow.bsky.social has ever written: Thousands upon thousands of years in the future a planetary god-mind is still thinking in terms of Microsoft Windows executables.
@aptshadow.bsky.social Am I missing something, or in CoS 7.4 should the sentence read “he isn’t convinced that’s NOT a better idea than something like Kern”? The “not” is missing.
Extrapolating from my brief survey of those vehicles I have ready access to: 100%

If you have any issues with me mentioning Cardology in github.com/dmd/imessage... please let me know.
Steve Jobs said a computer is a bicycle for the mind. AI is more like a half-track for the mind — it gets you places faster, but it breaks down constantly, tears up everything behind it, and was mostly built by Nazis.
The GUI for browsing files in PBS (for host backups) and in VE (for VMs) is nice, but sometimes you just want a shell. proxmox-backup-client mount provides one, but that can be a pain to get working. I wrote a tool that provides a TUI snapshot chooser and handles all the LVM juggling.
A screenshot of several animated ascii-art snails.
dmd.3e.org/snails/ Is like asciiquarium, but with snails.
I wrote a (completely client-side) Clue (Cluedo) board game solver/helper (mostly ported from one by
@gregstoll.com) that takes all the information you know and figures out what the various probabilities are given all that information and suggests what the best next guess is to make.
I refuse to call XP retro. XP was just a couple years ago and I’m definitely still in my mid-twenties and optimistic about the future.
@garthnix.bsky.social she made this herself but was very concerned that she didn't have anything to prevent them from ringing
A gray t-shirt with the text "I rope-dropped the Rapture", with the word Rapture in the Waltograph Disney-style font.
are you all pumped for today's APPLE EVENT? i don't wanna jump the gun but i bet you this is going to be the most recently released iphone ever
ACAB includes the Chrestomanci
CPSC is like "might as well have fun in the last few days or week we have before this administration decides 'not getting blown to pieces by your new toaster' is liberal hogwash"
@freesurfermri.bsky.social Will tarballs for any 8.x releases be made available? There are none here: surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/rel7d...

"THERE'S A DARK SIDE.... SOME TRUCKS NEVER DRIVE AGAIN" wtf is this Cars universe
I find it hard to reconcile “most people are good” with “1/3 of people voted for the guy who said very very loudly ‘I’m gonna do all sorts of bad things’”
Islamic legend says Allah gave the first tongs to the first blacksmith (since you need tongs to make tongs) which means He was definitely watching the first time someone clicked empty tongs together a couple times to make sure they work
Which would make *it* happier?

Anyone who won’t tell him it’s vaccines will be fired and replaced with someone who will.
Ok, and Google AI Studio is fine. And apparently it's been this way forever and the Gemini main interface is just severely crippled. I guess it has a different prompt, one that says "don't try too hard, this is for the hoi polloi"?
@simonwillison.net Any idea why using gemini.google.com with 2.5 pro experimental is WILDLY worse at "Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle." than using "llm -m gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25" with the precise same prompt? I can reproduce this over dozens of attempts.
I love @pennyvixen.bsky.social's Goblin Emperor series because it contains all sorts of great fantasy elements like:
✅ goblins
✅ magic
✅ good intracity public transit
“This expired three years ago” also something you don’t want to hear when presenting your passport.
I just did today and it is SO GOOD.
i’ve got tomato juice in my fridge (also not on a plane). probably SWAT worthy
1992, sheesh, that’s practically MODERN
is this some super advanced graphics version of LSL? - guy who refuses to acknowledge any LSL game made after 1990
