@philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com“You need to let go of being a perfectionist”…
Yeah, because the software industry is sure *known* for our bang on reliability and stability right? We’ve been haunted by being too focused on perfection for too long!
Who cares if ~10% of insurance claims are incorrectly denied, or pedestrians run over by our autonomous vehicles.
That’s the cost of doing business baby!
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotWell, today was the day I'd prepared to do my monthly run to the local recycling centre, twelve miles away, on the big cargo bike. The bike is all loaded up and ready to go. But the weather forecast, which last night was saying grey but dry, is now suggesting snow all day; so I think I may change my plans.
Bother.
@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itI'm walking through queens plaza and I run into my wife, who's biking on the queensboro bike path. She stops for maybe two mins while I adjust her bike brakes. Someone biking by yells, "go on a date or something, but get out of the bike lane!"
Oh, if only he knew.. 😂

@hex@kolektiva.socialIt's also probably worth pointing out that humans willing to take small actions are more likely to take larger actions in the future. If you want to go from people too afraid to resist to people fighting in the streets, the path goes though little things like this.
This is the anarchist calisthenics equivalent of walking 10 paces a day before you try to prepare to run a marathon.
@cdarwin@c.imDemocrats eye rare window of opportunity in Georgia run-off
to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene
The Democrat Shawn Harris will go head-to-head with Republican Clay Fuller
in a run-off after they came out ahead in a special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress on Tuesday night.
The election for the state’s 14th congressional district has been seen as a test of Donald Trump’s sway
and may provide a rare opportunity for Democrats in a deep-red pocke…
@hikingdude@mastodon.socialMicrosoft VibeVoice does a really good job in TTS (Even on a CPU). Yet I won't be able to run it on my Minipc 🙁 But at least I was able to make it run on my PC.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeEvery once in a while i hear people talking about work conferences as like mysterious worlds where everyone is a stranger they'll never meet again and I have to wonder just how large their industry is.
Like when I go to HARRIS I know all of the grad students who run the event, the professor leading the research group, I'm expecting to see some of the same vendor sales reps, the same teams from the same European government agencies, etc. The keynote speaker is a former college h…
@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialTrump's promise to ship captains contemplating traversing the Strait of Hormuz: "Don't worry, if you die I'll compensate your boss for the value of your cargo!"
Somehow this hasn't been very effective at convincing them to attempt to run the blockade.
Of course, this message is actually aimed at said bosses, who Trump thinks can force their captains to go (might even be true in some cases). Literally asking civilians to put their lives on the line in service of "the global economy" to fix an issue he created.

@iam_jfnklstrm@social.linux.pizzaQ: I run Ubuntu 25.10 and use filen.io to mount a cloud service to sync files between computers (limited to a specific folder). But it doesn't work to autostart it as it is out of sandbox - is there any way to go around that limitation? It has worked before and I trus filen.io so I have no issues to use some kind of fix to cirkumvent the settings for that specific app. #linux

@almad@fosstodon.orgFunny to see some devs go from “I’ll rather run a cluster for backing up an entirety of Anna’s Archive than pay $5/mo subscription” to “Bro if you don’t pay $1000/mo for Anthropic Dev Turbocharge Pro Max Ultra are you even developing”
@gwire@mastodon.socialSaw some reactions to a suggestion made, by a black British celebrity, that former-colonial powers, like the UK, still exert a negative influence on former-colonial African nations.
An opinion that would largely go unremarked if from a white academic or campaigner, is here framed as "ungrateful".
Not long to go now until news outlets routinely run AI-generated "opinion" pieces on these lines, that can't be described as racist since computers aren't hum…

@compfu@mograph.socialThis is a totally sensible policy for video editing. The marketing term "AI" is absolutely misplaced for modern features like matte creation (image segmentation, background removal) or motion tracking (and pose estimation) and even speech-to-text transcription. These things have existed for a long time - just not as good - and they run locally in an open-source NLE (non-linear editor).

@outer@mas.toI hope you can embrace my big takeaways: Love yourself, love yourself, love yourself. Growing up doesn’t end when you become an adult. Outrage is the appropriate response to deception and betrayal.
The way out is through. Make peace with what hurts and head toward joy. Run with the people who love you, lift you, and make you laugh. Write your future with the ink of today. May you go farther sooner.

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialI had not heard that the US military is cooperating with the small-reactor companies (run by people like Thiel and Andreeson - gee where have we heard those names before?) to transport the prototypes of these small nuclear reactors by air.
Indeed one such flight has occurred (carrying the large pieces of the reactor on a C17.)
Now, I am a supporter of new reactor technology as a way to provide CO2 free baseline power sources until such time as we can go full solar/wind/tidal etc…

@marcus@hachyderm.ioBeen playing with #gokrazy this weekend, testing it out as a base for a container os idea I'm playing with. As part of that I've made it run with podman 5, and also implemented a pure go shim for the nft command that's sufficient for netavark to create pod forwards and such https://code.bas.es/marcus/nft-shim - Not sure if strictly necessary as I was able to build static binaries for nft using nixpkgs pkgsStatic target, but was a fun weekend project to hack on anyways. I quite like the idea behind gokrazy.
