Every cloud has a silver lining

โ€œAt 3C of global heating, climate damage cannot be insured against, covered by governments, or adapted to, Thallinger said: โ€œThat means no more mortgages, no new real estate development, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function. And with it, capitalism as we know it ceases to be viable.โ€

The last economy we had that wasn't capitalist was feudal. It might not be all that great.

But all the top capitalists are imagining themselves kings and barons, they might like the idea more than you expect.

@notsoloud to what extent is modern capitalism different to feudalism in the context of Amazon, Facebook, X, etc

I fell out of the bottom of my long-running minecraft world and lost all my stuff. Grrr. A full set of maxed-out netherite armour and tools aren't all that easy to come by in a skyblock world. At least my farms are all still in place. I'm "cheating" and turning on keepInventory now. ๐Ÿ˜›

this was totally the reason I bought a Framework laptop. The first, and only laptop I've ever bought brand new. Upgraded bits a few times and the ease of DIY assembly and repair/upgrades really swung it for me...

Am quite excited to see what they announce next week re specs + prices and possibility to preorder the Framework 12... A fairly small repairable/upgradable tablet/laptop is quite appealing. Especially as the price point is meant to be lower than the Framework 13. And they're packing it with 13th Gen Intel hardware... Although personally I'd prefer an AMD equivalent, I'd be surprised if they didn't end up offering it as an upgrade in future ๐Ÿ‘

Pippin friendica
@TheDragon ๐Ÿ”ฅ It's a very nice idea, and maybe when I can't keep this laptop working maybe I'll be able to afford a Framework one. It would be good.

Earlier today I dusted off an old perlin terrain generator I wrote in Lua, and decided to port it to Principia, rendering the resulting image as a sprite in-game.

It's quite slow, especially with larger sizes, as Principia doesn't use LuaJIT (though the original isn't very fast even with LuaJIT). Principia's step duration limit also hits against it, but it will just continue where it left off during the next step. Nontheless, an interesting Principia level.

Whether you love or hate how #LLMs have changed the world in the last couple of years, there's some really interesting science behind them, yet some people still act as if the technology is no different to the next-word completion your phone had 15 years ago.
Anthropic have put out an interactive paper about some experiments they've done on one of their models. They test how it plans to make the last word of a line of poetry rhyme with the previous line, what happens if you ask it "What is the capital of the state containing Dallas?" but you suppress its knowledge of Texas, and other weird things to understand how it works. Fun fact: there's a feature that activates when it reads a double-quote in English text, and a completely separate feature that activates when it reads a double-quote in French text, even though they're the same token.
Well worth a read. Whether you're going to make your own, or you're going to write to your MP to ban them, do it based on facts.

๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ Trans Day of Visibility ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

Weโ€™re already visible, we need protecting.

Hereโ€™s one way you could help:

If youโ€™re in a conversation with someone idly saying something transphobic you could say โ€œthat's not the caseโ€, ask them to stop (if it's safe for you to do so), or leave.

Especially if you're a white man:
Your privilege means your words / actions
can have more weight.

It's very easy to repeat things we've heard without considering if itโ€™s baseless or illogical. I've done it too!

> If youโ€™re in a conversation with someone idly saying something transphobic you could say โ€œthat's not the caseโ€, ask them to stop (if it's safe for you to do so), or leave.

The approach I prefer is to ask them what they mean, and to make very explicit what they are trying to say. It makes them very uncomfortable putting into words what they are implying.

Content warning: kink discourse, trauma


I am so grateful to have so many amazing trans friends in my life. Every one of them has taught me so much about how to truly be yourself no matter what others tell you. And every single trans person I know has been so much more joyful and -alive- after determining and embracing who they really are. It never stops being an amazing thing to see, and that courage has inspired my own journey toward finding out who I am. Which is still TBD, but currently sitting at male-ish but gender non-comforming, which is sorta non-binary and sorta 'male is okay I guess but I get to be the one who decides what that means.'

Trans siblings, I see you and you are beautiful, you are amazing, and you are strong. Stay awesome, stay joyous, and thrive.

"What can I do for you, my lady?"

"I need a suit of armour modified," the lady said.

The armourer took her measurements, checked the pieces, and gave her an appraising look. "You've had this a while?"

"Yes. Since before... Ah..."

"Thought so. You'll need new thigh pieces and a wider skirt."

Bleh, I knew what I wanted to say yesterday, but by the time I actually sat down and made the post I missed out the part I actually intended to say.

What I meant to say: it's like a cross between Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH and Educating Rita. (Although it predated both of them, so I guess Flowers for Algernon might have helped inspire both.)

Anyone have recommendations for where I could get this thing printed and sent to me in the UK? I've taken a look at a few search results and Surface Scan seems surprisingly cheaper than the others. I've never really interacted with 3D printing before though, other than looking at stuff online and thinking how cool it is, so I have not much idea how to tell whether any particular service is any good.

ask a friendly 3d printer owner? ( @Dragon has printed me desk phone replacement feet/stands before when the users have broken theirs ).

@Hambone Fakenamington @Dragon There is also that! (This post was partly a way to indirectly do that without having to make assumptions about who has a 3D printer and is okay with being asked a favour.)

@CenturyAvocado hah those only just about fit on the print bed after some messing with rotation. (I have a small printer)

Google is effectively killing AOSP by no longer sharing code until there is a major release from the internal development team.
This will not only be a big blow to AOSP, but it also basically makes it so external contributions will no longer be accepted.

By next week Android will be 1 step away from becoming closed source.

That's where I think a proper emulator would seal the deal. Every time someone tries a Linux phone as a daily, they like it, but. The but is always something like, "I can't blank because there's no way on Linux."
Xoa Gray mastodon (AP)
@souldessin Most of what I've seen is something similar, where the LInux apps either aren't available or aren't optimized for mobile. But then part of the reason to use Linux is to avoid Android and it's often very data grabby apps. So this answer kinda' falls flat. And right now, Linux on phones has enough trouble just running and getting all the hardware to work. Adding a layer of emulation on top could cause it to be even more prone to issues and instability.

Can someone make this exist? Please?

I don't even want royalties -- I'd pay for my own!
