@Moon I am your dear acquaintance and internet friend until we have that beer next year. Then we'll be friends. ๐
And thank you, same. It's good to have someone reasonable with contrasting opinions for grounding. ๐

Al Franken's interview with Lindsey Graham was fascinating. Graham bent himself out of shape squirming to seem somewhat reasonable and humane but not too reasonable in case someone from his own party were watching, and the acrobatics of that was really a sight. -

Al Franken discussing the interview the day after: "If Bernie Sanders was running against Trump, they should go 'oh well, at least we want someone who believes in the country, believes in our system' [ . . . ] I don't think [Trump] wins, but I'd rather someone else be the nominee and lose."
Yep.

@Moon Oh yeah, Graham is a wormtongue. He joked to Franken "[If you're going to Puerto Rico with your family, take your chance to hold two fundraisers: One for the statehood people and one for the anti-statehood people. They never talk to each other!]"
Funny joke, but one wonders if it wasn't ha ha only serious.

@aleabdo @yaso @tarkowski In practice ActivityPub is insufficient for defining a social network, in particular implementing ActivityPub is insufficient for being interoperable with Mastodon.
When over 90% of the Fedi population are Mastodon users this makes the Mastodon implementation the specification for the network and that makes Mastodon governance critical for the network.

Kid learned about Inter5tella 5555 last night and he was fascinated by the concept. ๐
So tonight he watched it and he liked neither the music nor the movie. ๐ -

@Jason_Dodd We have gradually enabled software engineers to do more with less effort. Force multipliers. We don't flip switches to set machine code bits any more. We don't manually link libraries any more.
No matter how much they are derided, no-code and low-code solutions have enabled non-programmers to improve their productivity and sometimes become programmers when necessary (more seldom full-blown software engineers, but that happens too and often leads to very well-rounded and innovative software engineers). Programmable spreadsheets are the prime example.
Mostly though this has through a kind of Jevons' Paradox made human programmers even more sought for. Some tasks don't require them any more, so they have been made available for other tasks that do require expertise and an ability to translate requirements into implementation. -

As we replace more and more software creation use cases with tooling, it's possible that we at some time reach some turning point where software developers would be less sought for, but I don't see it any time soon.
ChatGTP and Copilot are not it. The unreliable output we have seen from ChatGTP and Copilot are not indicators that they are generic tools that can replace hand-crafted tools for specific programming scenarios. We can't leave them unsupervised any time soon. You'll need an expert to check their work, even if that expert might (or might not) be faster with the large language model assisting.

@lain IT informs me that by cleaning up my mailbox I have lowered it's COโ impact from 0.33 kg/month to 0.28 kg/month.
Meanwhile, I was 60 h on planes last month for fun and meeting friends. What's that, 5โ10 tons? That order of magnitude anyway. -

@Moon @PhenomX6 If the left rejects incels and the right doesn't, doesn't that over time make incels right-wing through immersion and assimilation? -

@SuperDicq @Moon As someone far less immersed than either of you, when someone says "channer" I assume they mean "anime girl racist edgelord". -

@Moon @lain Yeah but they don't have a staging environment so they need to find and fix critical bugs in production.
Ma was being too critical towards them, so he was fixed. -

> The new series will โexplore how Cleeseโs over-the-top, cynical and misanthropic Basil Fawlty navigates the modern worldโ, according to early information, with the plot focusing on his relationship with his daughter as they manage a boutique hotel together.
Brave or just reckless? Reviving the series goes against Cleese's own warnings over the decades not to do it.

@lain if you're not imprisoned, dead or out of the country you're complicit, I guess
when your party loses a democratic election you are morally obliged to armed revolt, is the logical conclusion -

I've discovered a "podcast" on callin.com, but I can't find an RSS feed. Is there a generic way to find a feed from a callin show?
There is a host rss.callin.com which has some feeds, but they're named in an opaque way, not with human-friendly names, so there's no discoverability with trivial URL manipulation.
