MinusPi (she/they)

It’s an addiction, plain and simple. If the number isn’t going up, they’re not happy. They’re willing to do anything, hurt anyone, to get their fix.

Good, but Mastodon has been a great option for a long time…

As much as I love it, it just doesn’t work for some people or situations.

It baffles me that this was ever not the case.

They endorsed the only person that was meaningfully running against Trump. I haven’t heard a single word about other Democratic candidates. Maybe that’s on me for not looking into it further, but the fact is that until now no one expected anyone but Biden to be the one against Trump.

They endorsed Biden to prevent Trump. That’s hardly ignoble.

I couldn’t agree more

As if that ever changed anyone’s opinion. Trump could literally kill someone and anyone who was going to vote for him before would still vote for him.

It’s about damn time

It’ll be difficult for a while until someone figures it out and then it’ll be easy again. It’s just an arms race.

Documentation and testing are fundamental parts of writing code.

Security through obscurity doesn’t work. These systems need to be actually robust, which is only trustworthy with open source

You really think the trolls would pass up on this golden opportunity?

I currently only have a craptop, but I’ve settled on naming them after elements, vaguely based on the power of the machine. My craptop is called hydrogen. I also have a full installation on a USB drive called quark, being less than a full machine/element.

Status update: still defaced!

Yes, that’s what they do. They’re scrooges.

Seems easy enough to charge all of them

Now that I’ve gotten used to the Deck, the Switch seems so light that it feels like a knockoff.

… again.

GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, which is just a class of ML architecture. That’d be like trying to TM Web Browser.
