what is #TMSR? I clicked the hashtag and am still not sure. Something about Sodium?

When we're as surrounded by streaming platforms as we are now, it's easy to forget that the DRM-free life still exists. Even now, there are dozens of record labels, publishers, and online retailers that refuse to abuse their customers. Learn about them in the Guide: https://u.fsf.org/1lr #EndDRM #DRM

@worldsendless @kramo Here you are, I've submitted a brief feedback on the #Hyperplane concept as far as I understood it without trying the Flatpak on https://github.com/kra-mo/hyperplane/issues/2

No matter how it shakes out at OpenAI, one thing is clear: all of the leading AI companies are firmly for-profit entities and the illusion of OpenAI as a nonprofit optimizing for humanity is gone.
My latest for New York Times Opinion imagines what it would take to truly build AI in the public interest (spoiler: it could look like public libraries, but for compute):

@freemo and now I am good on the mstdn.games server, so I assume that all QOTO is unlocked!
@kramo this seems like the kind of thing that @publicvoit probably has a take about, and might even support (based on his #PIM thoughts)
this reminds me of the "1 percent" quote that hurt Romney's run so much. Too bad Trump is probably immune
Whoa. I just followed someone and their instance said how many followers I have. I didn't even know that could be counted on Mastodon

I really loathe when people say blanket statements like "Learning from X is not effective"
People learn differently. Saying "Learning from books is not effective" may be true for you, but not for someone else
I don't learn well from video content
I learn great from exercises and small tests and yes, books
You *should* learn what your individual team members styles are and enable them to have resources that work for them
Yep; just verified. Weeks of annoying error message (actually probably years, but I didn't have a viewport on the output) and it was all ended with a `exit 0`
I have some scripts still in bash rather than #babashka because all they are doing is calling other programs. But the one that is in my #guix #mcron was apparently suffering for lack of controlled #ExitStatus. Oi, Bash, I never knew thee.

Code only says what it does:
@mhoye Ah! That clarifies things. But aren't things like AWS filling a real need?
@mhoye I've never come into contact with computer rental. I guess my university rents chromebooks and some laptops; is that it?
@clojurediary I hadn't made it so far as to see any icon at all. I just read the word "printing things". Thanks for the response!
@clojurediary Still on my to read list. Just realized I'm not sure -- I assumed he meant printing things on paper, but he might mean Hello World"
@freemo I might have my wires crossed, then
@amarok !!! What leads you to think it better than JS? (not a JS lover here, but historically I hate it less than old PHP)
@chaos0815 We were too late to take it back. It died under our fingertips.
