what pisses me off the most about programming becoming so LLM-centric is that i just really fucking love programming as a creative process and having a machine do it all sucks every last drop of joy out of it for me

This is the worst possible timeline. This is absolute garbage.

Golang Articles, News, Packages@golangch.bsky.social

MVP of a system/hub/SaaS that lets you create any kind of app (e.g., with GTK/Rust, #golang, Elektron, etc.), following the AI app-generation idea of @OmarchyLinux by @dhh, as presented on @lexfridman, coded with @grok from @elonmusk.

Twitter/X and Reddit are forcing people to use official apps to access the sites. How do I, someone who doesn't want to give any of these companies my data, access posts other have made on these services?

So it was about preventing the enemies of the US from fixing the vulnerabilities US intelligence (that feels like an oxymoron with the current administration) is actively exploiting.

oh shit: someone who has actually read the report on the “jailbreak”. she‘s backing up Anthropic’s story that it’s nothing. they got fable to help fix some code with planted vulns www.lutasecurity.com/post/the-fab...

Not only considered it, but accepted it as the core reason. Greater tech literacy + empathy for others.

blair@blairaf.com

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

I hope Australia does the same. Imagine a world where tech giants can influence global politics because of the information they have access to. Then think about how close we are to that reality...

Purchase with Purpose@purchase-w-purpose.bsky.social

🇪🇺 Europe is moving to block Microsoft, Amazon, and Google from handling government health, financial, and legal data The "Tech Sovereignty Package" is set to be approved soon and will start a meaningful shift away from these companies.

They know most cars easily do 100km/h right?

CNN@cnn.com

Lightning, a running robot developed by Chinese smartphone maker Honor, finished a 21-kilometer (13 mile) run in Beijing in a stunning 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human world record by more than six minutes. https://cnn.it/4mLRxQ8

While I doubt this is a result of the boycott against Telsa's Nazi-saluting CEO, its great to see the shift.

Might be controversial, but as a Discord user with a kid who wants to use it too, I am onboard with this.

max power 🌌@sneptech.bsky.social

if a multinational software corporation has to comply with many jurisdictions rules on what content they are allowed to serve to users, eventually a tipping point gets reached, and that complexity collapses to "everyone on the planet gets the most bubblewrapped version. we cbf tracking ts anymore"

#ICE (or anyone) pepper spraying some one like this when they pose no physical threat should be prosecuted as assault.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

"Self driving car" is a misnomer. These vehicles are driven by software running in data centres. They are drones in an automobile hive. They are computer driven cars but they don't do the computational work themselves.

Google doesn't have a compelling alternative to Mac OS and is actively destroying the best feature that differentiates Android from iOS. Apple is more than safe for now.

Kelsey Hightower@kelseyhightower.com

Google + Apple resulted in Google's search expanded reach. Now we're adding AI to the mix. Apple still controls distribution of the entire Apple ecosystem. Unless people stop using iPhones and Macs, then this is no different than any other Apple partnership including Google Maps and Intel chips.

Super unhealthy behaviour in a person. Massive #facist red flag from a #government agency. They've literally put a bunch of journalists on a government watch list for reporting on #DHS and #ICE.

Donald #Trump is not eligible to be the President of #Venezuela. He is a convicted felon, and not a Venezuelan citizen by birth.

He has just obliterated an chance of finding an impartial jury.

Mark Hamill@markhamillofficial.bsky.social

After viewing the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota- he then proceeds to lie about EVERYTHING in it, aside from the fact that it is, indeed, "a horrible thing to watch." #25thAmendmentNOW

So Trump illegally bypassed Congress to use military force on a foreign nation, lied about the reason for attacking Venezuela,and abducted the President of Venezuela? How is he still in power?

I am certain something would change if Grok was used to create images that upset Elon Musk—images of Teslas or Space X rockets on fire, his partner or children in compromising scenarios, etc—and they were posted en-mass all over Twitter in the same way these harassment images are.

BeardedGenius@beardedgenius.bsky.social

So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves

Note: I am not suggesting or encouraging anyone to do this. I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy that exists on Twitter.

Great way to look at it. A little friction now will encourage us to fix issues while they are still small.

The social media ban was bad enough, now the government is forcing search engines to censor search results unless you're logged in to an age verified account...

Its morons like this that are responsible for the global economy's current state

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times F: Not a 600% cut L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

2025 has been a hard slog. Work has been non-stop urgent projects for the last 14 months, with more planned til mid 2026. Family health has put massive amounts of stress and strain on us too. Well overdue a break, to rest and recover, but can't see it happening for a while.

Openly admitting to unjustified atrocitiesagainst humanity.

WELKER: Is there any hard evidence showing this particular boat was headed to the US? TOM COTTON: That didn't come up in my briefing WELKER: Are you comfortable having the US target a boat that you're not sure is heading to the US? COTTON: I'm not just comfortable with it -- I want to continue it

I used to think all the tech companies cozying up to Trump were doing it to curry favour and avoid regulation, but recent news shows that at least some of them are doing it because that is their natural alignment.

Having finished Outer Worlds 2 on Xbox where I unlocked a significant number central story line achievements as "rare" (less than 10% of players who have started the game for the achievement), I've now realised that Xbox as a platform doesn't have the player numbers I thought it did.
