Dolores Huerta, who rose to national prominence as the co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association, and was known for her advocacy for women farmworkers, has died. She was 96. Huerta coined the ¡Sí Se Puede! chant and came to define the farmworker movement.

Referring to the harm as being caused by LLMs, when it is caused by people, actually serves to exonerate the people as if they did not make explicit decisions.

A coworker of mine made a great point today: "With all that money and all those engineers, they haven't figured out how to replace us yet and I don't think they ever will"

When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie... That's Mack-L'amoré!

Et tu, DigitalOcean? Great, have to find a new hoster now. Yo companies, STOP GIVING MONEY TO NAZIS, KTHX

Standing ovation for Dolly Parton at the Bonnie Raitt show at the Minnesota State Fair. As it should be. 🦋

I can feel both the immense heartbreak of the world and still the awe inspiring inspiration at the same time today. My feeds are filled with all the wonderful messages Dolly left us. Just one post after another. Rest in peace Dolly.

I think it's important to occasionally state this, but LLMs are purely static and immutable sets of numbers and do not "learn" or change with use.

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

I will never, EVER get over the fact that Aaron Swartz died because he allegedly trespassed while trying to access works that were mostly IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, but open plagiarism and theft is acceptable now because it's suddenly in capital's interest for it to be.

From evidence, here’s the appointment for the virtual meeting to discuss The White House singling out Colorado when it comes to federal funds.

"It's unethical to watermark the text *I wrote* with an LLM!" The whole point is you didn't write it, you used the automated capitalist plagiarism machine 🤷‍♂️

Because it's mentioned a lot: Brave is run by a homophobe religious fanatic with money from Peter Thiel. Don't use it.

It's 2026 and sfc /scannow still fixes 90% of the frequent issues I have with Windows. Ridiculous.

Is it a good idea to discontinue your only in-demand product? Asking for reasons

Building MCPs is gauche

The "Taco Bell diarrhea lettuce" is actually from Taylor Farms, *the largest fresh produce processor in the world*, and you can get it at Burger King, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Olive Garden, Wendy's, and IHOP, as well as Walmart, Kroger, Aldi, and Whole Foods. Why are we making this about Taco Bell?

I cleaned my coffee grinder which involved disassembly and I think it may have never been assembled correctly because it could barely handle a drip brew and now makes the finest coffee powder I've ever seen 😳

The pocket on the back of the passenger seat is called a map pocket 😎

I'm so tired of being expected to read things that no one has bothered to write.

Impeach and remove Jared Polis!

Starlink is in the news again because they claim to be starting a mobile phone service, but they keep burying the fact they can only support a very low density. In fact, generously only 7 subscribers per square mile according to this analysis: thexlab.org/wp-content/u...

The first time I saw James Carville on TV, I just thought he was a nasty Republican. Turns out I was right.

I'm glad Europeans have discovered ranch dressing. Maybe they'll stop eating mayonnaise on fries now.

This is superb

A large pot sits in plain sight. There’s a frog in it. Every day, Leader announces his plans to boil the frog. His campaign slogan was “BOIL THAT FROG.” A man stirs the pot with a large stick. “It’s a metaphor,” he says. The frog is sweating.

Dolby Atmos in Apple Music is horrible. I was listening to a song I've heard hundreds of times and suddenly it sounded like the singer had a lisp. I'm glad I could disable it.

This is clearly a plot to eliminate the independent developer. Why let them take revenue from you when you can buy their code, train a model and slop together a first-party competitor with preference?

NTFS is so bad and makes my DevOps life so miserable 😭

Lovely essay equates Waiting for Godot with AGI. "The persistence of waiting, therefore, reflects a distribution of roles whose coherence depends on anticipation rather than on settled judgment" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Tech does not exist outside the context of other things happening in the world, and neither do we

Jared Polis needs to be removed from power and Colorado Dems need to start doing things to limit his power and impact

Ah yes, who doesn't love an overexposed, out of focus photo with fake bokeh

Dude *what*?!?

At any rate, I think I'll stand up a Forgejo instance to test out 😅

Turner Classic Movies and Cartoon Network were such important cultural experiences as an angsty, nerdy gay boy. And working now in cable, Ted definitely made a big impact and left some big shoes to fill.

I needed a little miter box for cutting some metal with a hacksaw. 3D printed it instead of buying it, saved $15-20 and perfect for a thing that is mostly disposable already. Great success.

It's wild that investors are just now learning that manufacturing involves many suppliers and some of those may support semiconductor factories 😳

software is ultimately a sociocultural object, not a pile of code, not a tool like a hammer

I have seen the squeeze beginning first hand at work
