Hi, I'm Christopher from #California otherwise known as kode54 from California or also known as kuroshi from California.
I'm a computer hobbyist, dabbling in C/C++, Swift, and various shell scripting languages, and current lead maintainer of the macOS audio player, Cog.

AI ‘godfather’ Yann LeCun has ‘zero concerns’ about human extinction and thinks Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is ‘deluded’ and ‘crazy’. Yann LeCun dismisses fears of AI extinction and recent hacks at OpenAI and Anthropic, arguing that security breaches comes from poor system design, leaky sandboxes, and a lack of basic cybersecurity in AI labs, not out-of-control AI. These AI are doing as told by these AI labs

Finally somebody said it what I was saying about this nonsense
Hey, any old Sony console owners with advice to give on this? Maybe @ariadne can help with this. I have a SCPH-39001 with v1.20 firmware, still functional, unmodded, no network or hard drive adapter. And I have a game I'd love to play on it, except I can't find the disc anywhere in my rat's nest of a room, or the closet of the next room over that contains a bunch of stuff too, where I managed to dig out the PS2, controller, power cable, stand, and memory card.
I can't even find the Action Replay disc we used to have here, that I had used to compress a bunch of the saves on one of the memory cards, so now I've also got a bunch of useless saves all tagged “(Zipped)”.
Wondering where to go from here. I kind of want an OEM network adapter, and drop a SATA board into it, but that's more expensive than a third party SATA adapter, but none of those have network support.
Oh, look, it’s an old save file!
I can't believe this is #retro .... #sony #ps2 is old enough to vote already.
I also realized it won't let me start View Screen if I have the camera on
iOS developer people: have you noticed the camera becoming EXTREMELY BLURRY if you're viewing the screen of a physical iPhone through the Device Hub?
I may hate OpenAI and Anthropic but honest to God my hatred of copyright is more intense.
I lived through the 00's, when copyright enforcement involved big companies suing literal children and grandmothers, when Big Media tried VERY hard to make it so you would literally lose Internet access after infringement as well, and then adopted compromise positions like "six strikes" because the "zero tolerance" policy was politically rancid. In Germany, you can still get a demand letter from a rights holder demanding payment if you're caught pirating. This was the model they wanted in the US: the right to shake you down at any time, just because they believed you infringed.
And don't think for a fucking minute big content wouldn't try it again the moment they see an opening. People have started pirating again. Think about who is in charge. They could very well succeed this time.
This is the system that shook people down for years for "Happy Birthday" until a grassroots movement successfully challenged the copyright on an old technicality, but they patched those rules long ago, so works going into copyright since the ~80's will never have that technicality again.
You might think that copyright is some secret weapon against OpenAI. It is not. They will change the rules again, just as they changed the rules repeatedly to stop Mickey Mouse from going out of copyright, until the rules became too ridiculous.
I don't want to live in a world where content can disappear because someone sent someone a DMCA notice.
No, I refuse to support the tools of an oppressive system to fight another. Not at any cost.
Copyright is not pro-artist. Copyright is not pro-expresssion. Copyright is value extraction. Copyright is a means for Capital to extract more from the masses and give nothing back. It is a means of oppression.
From iOS 27: "Intelligent Image Description can’t describe this image because it may contain sensitive content."
wtf Apple.
ClassiCube can fuck off btw
Good news, everyone. Your 64GB iPads are now ewaste. Throw that shit away immediately and buy the new hotness, the 256GB bare minimum. Can't wait for the OS size to creep up to that in a year or two.
People can identify as different genders now? What's next, corporations can identify as people? oh wai-
Btw about C2 Ultra, looks like they've hit a freight train in June
I have sometimes thought I might want the AI smart glasses, so I can actually remember my days, but I should be glad I don't remember what I did a few hours ago, must have been some inane bullshit anyway. But I do remember the important things, like plots of works of fiction that particularly resonate with me. Same reason I never kept a journal of any sort. Real life is just the sort of inanity I don't feel the need to recall later.
Fuck you very VeriMuch, VeriSign.
This post received a lot of comments and reactions, which is great!
It also proved that my little Raspberry Pi Zero W, powered by NetBSD, could handle the load.
Now - to help me test how much load it can tolerate - please boost and react to this post! 🚀
No, #ArchLinux is not associating with DHH or any of his projects. I'd sooner resign.
I really wish suffering upon dog owners who deposit their pet waste into other people's trash cans. Especially when they do so after the cans have already been emptied for the week.
Lumping generative AI with fascism will never not be stupid to me.
Remember: the term "AAA game" or "Triple-A game" came from investors, as A, Double-A, Triple-A etc is used to describe how 'safe' an investment is
It doesn't say anything about the quality of the game at all, and was coined by people which don't care about that, just about money.
Well, fuck you too, Baker's Drive Thru. Fuck your goddamn ordering system defaulting to Pickup orders on the first screen where I don't even notice, and then don't tell me it's going to be a pickup order until the order is confirmed.
Think I'd remember by now that even when this system has an account, it never remembers which address you want to deliver to, so when you're picking out a restaurant, if it doesn't ask you to manually enter a delivery destination, it's going to be a Pickup order.
Why do I have to insist on using a restaurant's own ordering system, when at least when I use a third party delivery service, I know I'm getting a delivery order 100% of the way. And the third party service remembers my default address, so I don't have to think about that either.
