l'empathie mécanique @dpwiz@qoto.org

@jonn Perhaps I was raised on a "competence porn" reading/movies/culture diet and expect that people would just stick to their jobs.

People leveraging their positions for power projection and outright abuse is indeed an unending stream of disappointment for me.

With the amount of sex-related scandals in politics it's like becoming an eunuch should be a prerequisite for taking office. Or any leadership position whatsoever, where a single drop of drama can dismantle the entire movement.

Why people can't keep it in their pants?

@GerryT @omgubuntu I use it too. It's a bit clunky and I wish the default window manager would be tad more configurable.

@omgubuntu What I would really like is having 1/3rds. With one central column and 2 optional sidebars for stuff. *Then* I finally can appreciate extra-wide displays.

LLMs doing that "garbage in - garbage out" thing...

@tonyg Nice. I hope they'll get those newer Ryzens soon.

@rml optimization #1: don't use String

Like, ever. Especially with text-2.0 getting into LTS snapshot.

@rml The published `egison` package shows that they use `String` extensively and then transformer stacks in the interpreter. I wonder if there's a few OOM improvement left on the table.

It is ridiculous how "agile" means "mandatory synchronous reading out loud microblog posts that nobody did write in advance".

Should've stopped with just the "microblog" part.

@terrorjack What? No....

Meeting dosage over 0.83 μHz can be detrimental for productivity.

@joeyh@octodon.social ApplicativeDo to the rescue (if you gave a proper names to your fields).

@Richard_Littler At least LLMs would get a chance of actually reading the damn book before slapping an image on it:

> An appropriate illustration for this essay could be:
> A pamphlet or essay page with the title "A Modest Proposal" on top.
> A bag or basket full of crying babies on the side, symbolizing the suggestion to sell and consume babies.
> The bag can be held by a poor mother, who looks distressed, representing the suffering of the poor in Ireland.
> There can also be a wealthy British gentleman next to her, eyeing the bag greedily, symbolizing the target of Swift's satire and criticism.
> Dark and dull colors can be used to further enhance the somber and ironic tone of the essay.
> The overall composition can highlight the deep economic disparity and moral ineptitude that Swift's essay aims to condemn.

@Andreas_Hepp @tante Do the names matter here? A "rose" by any other name would "smell" as "sweet".

One can point at the push for automation without without debating its argot.

@mike I was skeptical at first, glancing over Djot syntax, thinking "yeah, yeah, that would be nice, but not gonna touch this until it gets pandoc support".... Then noticed the author

@mike Ah, found it on the issues: {-out-} {+underline+}

@mike No strikethrough tag? ~~I'm sold.~~
