Jim is one of the cutest kitties in the whole world.

He maybe, JUST MAYBE needs to go on a diet though.

Amazing how often you see the 'I'm a big person' types on social media going on about how they want 'positive interactions' from people etc.

And it's always and I mean ALWAYS followed by some version of 'but yeah anybody who disagrees with me can fuck off' put in nice words.

These are the types who refuse to interact with others who aren't also internet famous (or normies who agree with every word), the types who have 'big thoughts' and think they're very special etc.

They're all alike and all very tiresome.

It's a lot funnier on here though because you KNOW they actually have to see replies and can't lean into an algorithm or only chatting to blue ticks or whatever.

So while they go on about how much they like fedi secretly they hate that it's not as good at making them feel special as they're used to...

Discover git am -3: yay!

Discover it gives up very easily: nooo!

From next week will try to work my shit music back into my routine.

A message from Second Gentleman's to tfg.

"Mr. Trump, I know you have so much trouble pronouncing her name. Here’s the good news. After the election you can just call her Madam President.”

Imposter syndome sucks.

My biggest wtf about pilots is how they ever understand people on the radio.

Literally every time I hear aero radio chats I find it near-impossible to make out wtf they're saying

These little creatures keep me going

I can say with absolute confidence that 99% or more of the meetings I've had in my career have been absolutely worthless.

Like of no benefit, whatsoever, for anyone.

I'm so lucky that now all the meetings I currently attend _are_ useful (there aren't many and each one has a specific purpose).

A really simple way of testing it is - could this meeting be an email? [the classic] And - does this meeting have a very specific purpose that the meeting can resolve?

If no/yes then fine.

Sadly most corporate practices are cargo cults where you _must_ have a weekly or (god help me) daily meeting even if the boss knows what you're doing, you know what you're doing, you literally use software to track exactly what you're doing, but for some reason you have to repeat it.

Do not get me started on the fucking scam that is agile (any agile) by the way.

Scammer supports scams. What a shock.

With the AI bullshit + Musk's bullshit you wonder how much of the US economy is based on scams...

wait, free software is like open source, but with build script written in m4??

Getting mail from Linus!

Starting to think I will need to send my CPU back to intel under warranty :/

Might be indicative of permanent damage, ffs. Just my luck, worst issues in 10 years and it's the gen I get...

A recent study by Captain Obvious et. al. shows that generative AI collapses when using other generative AI as learning input.

Because everything is polluted with this shit now, this means that future models will likely regress and actually get worse over time even with more and more energy and time spent to create them.

The stupid as fuck "AI" tech bubble is literally eating itself.

YES @lkundrak YES HAIL! HAIL HIM! 🍷

The #Olympics are not so much about sport as they are about money and politics.

Hosting the Olympics is expensive af, about €10 milliards. You could build a nuclear power plant with that money! It’s also a massive opportunity for corruption, like nothing else. It never pays off.

The Olympic Committee allowed the participation of athletes from terrorist states known as #RuSSia and BelaruSS. Albeit under a neutral flag and with restrictions, but that’s just a charade. Around 500 Ukrainian athletes have been murdered and thousands can’t participate because they are defending their country from RuSSian barbarians.
Any participation of athletes from terrorist states is unacceptable, thus I’m completely ignoring this year’s games.
