I like that they’ve read the memo about fediverse projects being named after animals, but firefish doesn’t fit. They should have gone with Coelacanth or something like that… but easier to spell.

Just a few steps from “My secret police will now ‘explain’ to you just how not fascist I am.”

But I learned Perl in the 00’s and I don’t want those neurons to go to waste!

They’ve been using cluster bombs since the first day of the war. He might as well have said they’ll invade Ukraine “if they have to.”

Its a cyclic calandar and the last major cycle ended. If there were still ancient Mayans maintaining the calendar they would have calculated another major cycle.

I’m sure this won’t have any chilling effects amongst the researchers who keep us all safe.

Edit to add that Johnson & Johnson is/was also trying to use patent loopholes to make sure poor people die from tuberculosis; until the internet got mad.

Sometime I think the Mayan calendar people were right. The world ended in 2012, it’s just a slower process than John Cusack movies would lead us to believe.

And now the change had the inertia. There’s no stopping it now.

Most of my machines, including my daily driver, run Linux. I’ve got one old windows laptop that I use (via NoMachine) to run Fusion360 on. And we have a 5+ year old Surface Pro that my wife uses for Dice Maker (a windows only program).

Neither of my old Windows boxes will run 11, so they won’t run 12 either. And I’m oh so broken up about it.

Excluding the “breadbasket of Europe” as the world is entering into a period of mass food scarcity is a profoundly shortsighted move.

While I don’t think the iphone is over-hyped I’ve started fantasizing about going back to a dumb phone. The LG enV 2 is still the best phone I ever owned.

• replaceable battery that lasted 3 days
• headphone jack
• physical keyboard
• fit in shirt pocket
• no bloatware

For example, did you know a release of a new fully open source LLM called OpenLLaMA just got announced by the Researchers at Berkeley AI Research?

Nice. Good to know what all of next month’s doom headlines will all have in common. ;)
