@finlaydag33k@social.linux.pizzaCO2 levels getting kinda high when I'm on my room...
Outside opening the window, any decent suggestions on how to keep it low?
Plants are kinda rough cus my room is pretty dark (and I like my dark room) and space is very limited...

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialI am so sick of how badly companies maintain their software.
Take Roku. Their devices are rapidly becoming less reliable than a 1960 Austin Healey - meaning that you always have to have al alternate 'cause something is always broken.
Today it was the Roku Media Player. It no longer can play .mp4 files that it used to be able to play. It can do the sound, but not the video. It used to do 'em both, with decent synchronization.
But now, nope. Has Roku become yet a…
@ripienaar@devco.socialAbsolutely crazy demonstration of how AI can help with frontend design, my design abilities is stuck around like 2005 bootstrap era, I tried this approach on something and yeah - pretty amazing.
I can make a decent looking app and just focus on backend really.
It's a long video but worth it

@blackknight95857669@social.linux.pizzaAs usual, my sentiment for people at this time of year: Merry WTFever you celebrate. If you can do so with family, awesome. If not for whatever reason, I hope you have a date, or friends to chill with. If you don't bother with the holidays/people, have a decent day. Don't forget to find yourself a little bit of peace and/or joy. #Xmas
@cdarwin@c.imi think this attitude
— that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned
— is probably pervasive in the
White House
and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

@billbert@mastodon.socialApparently I simply cannot let myself calm down and get a decent night’s sleep this week
@trezzer@social.linux.pizzaManaged to put the new Pi music player together before leaving work today. Got it set up with remote control and a quick test of playback. Next stop: Speaker mounting and figuring out if I should bet on physical security through obscurity by making it not easily visible or using a moderately long RCA cable. What’s a reasonable cable length with decent quality cables?
@pbloem@sigmoid.socialInteresting methodology for tracking AI progress. Categorize tasks by how long they take for an expert human. This is a decent proxy for task complexity.
Then ask what's the most complex (i.e. longest-taking) task that a model can complete with a 50% success rate.
Measure this over time and log-plot to estimate the doubling time.

@jamesthebard@social.linux.pizzaGot some work to do this weekend, pretty sure the EPROM on the custom SNES cart I made is bad and I'm gonna have to replace the 27C322 with a "new" one. Even decided to buy a decent EPROM eraser, so once that comes in I'll get the old ROM desoldered, program the replacement, and get that installed into this cart.

@losttourist@social.chatty.monsterCome on Kylie, you're way better than this. Tell SAW to do one, get hot and sizzly with Hutchence, and start making us some decent pop. #TOTP

@doktrock@toad.socialWe've had a couple decent snowfalls; now heading into the deep freeze. Forecast low temps this weekend -20F (-29C)

@bencurthoys@mastodon.socialGrr and argh.
The people who make government websites generally tend to do a halfway decent job of meeting the spec, but they really really need to learn to push back when the spec is FUCKING STUPID.

@aredridel@kolektiva.socialI don't hate this episode. Klingons be Klingons.
Hamhanded start. Decent finish.
@chrysn@chaos.socialIf you still have your project on GitHub and think that it is a public project, try this: Log off (eg. using a private tab), go to your project, and try reading 3-4 issues. Chances are you're Too Many Requests'd for a few minutes before you even got a decent overview of the project's state. Is this then still a public project?

@wraithe@mastodon.socialThe worst possible thing in the world that can happen:
*me, finally getting to bed at a decent time, sliding onto the heated bed cover, pulling the blankets up, settling in*
Daughter: “did you take the trash out?”
Me: “no just the recycling”
D: “I mean, take the trash to the street”
Me: … 🤬
@chrislowles@mastodon.socialAnyone remember that one superhero movie starring Seth Rogen called The Green Hornet? I thought it was pretty decent.
@mlawton@mstdn.socialKerkez has been decent lately, but he fell asleep on that give and go and Van Dijk gave him a solid rebuke afterwards. 📣 ‼️

@thomastraynor@social.linux.pizzaI applied the three finger salute to the two pieces of software that is not responsive after two hours. We used to have semi-decent software, but lately the piss-poor upgrades and AI SLOP has infected the "productivity" software. I could update 5 documents, generate PDF for each and rebuild the release folder index in one day or a day and a half if the VPN was slow. All I got done (day 2 of frustration) was three of the smallest documents, on the midsize document it choked and I…
@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialAlso: we're seeing what happens when white people are actually motivated en-masse (and the George Floyd response was actually another decent example of this).
General strike -> capitalist class goes "oh shit we need to deescalate" -> temporary reprieve.
White people actually putting their bodies on the line (or at least near enough to it that ICE killed them) got results. This is direct evidence of just how much oppression depends on the social fragmentation it invests immense energy into creating in order to not get its ass kicked both ideologically and literally.
Also for those white people like me who are scared to participate: I don't have the numbers, but there were something like 50,000 people who stood up (even if we just want to count observers and joiners-of-whistle-crowds I'd guess at least 5,000-10,000). Two in that category died (more like 30 have died in the direct-targets-of-ICE category). So don't look at Pretti and think "protesting is so risky." Consider that both the odds of being the one or two killed are low, and that if you don't stand up quickly and strongly enough against this shit, the body count will grow much higher.
This isn't over, and continued escalation and resistance is super critical now. Rather than hoping the twin cities story is a story of heroes elsewhere who solved the problem, make it a story of an inspiring example that gets replicated in LA, Chicago, and all around the nation where ICE is trying to metastasize into an unaccountable secret police.
@theodric@social.linux.pizzaI used to run a few generative Twitter bots, all of which are now defunct due to Elon-related API restrictions, focus and audience shifts, etc. I'd like to resurrect a couple, and maybe even ensloppify one with AI (to attract VC $€£) but it appears botsin.space is dead. Any decent botting instances left? Is mastodon.bot alright? Should I just start my own instance, and make my hobby trying to get federated, instead?
@niqdanger@social.linux.pizzaWhats the latest (and in the easy) vulnerability scanner? I used to use Nessus back in the day, then OpenVAS was always a pain to get working. I haven't scanned anything in a few years so not sure whats in that "easy to use, decent output" category.

@mlawton@mstdn.socialThe officiating has been... good? I'm not sure what to make of this.
Decent first half. Sunderland have been a bit lucky on a couple of occasions, both from Wirtz (post and header).
#LFC look better against low blocks, but it's clear that Endo is not best used as an upfield back. He's been excellent otherwise.
Konate has also been in a very physical battle all game. Kavana…
@mlawton@mstdn.socialDecent performance, overall. First home loss for Sunderland and you can see why they've been so hard to beat. Well organized and were dangerous in the 2nd half.
MOTM will likely be Van Dijk, with the game winner and a strong performance. For me, it's Konate. He had to play a VERY physical game against Brobbey and he managed it well.
Wirtz gets a shout out for his creativity and finding ways to pop up in space against at team man marking and playing a 5 man back line out o…
