@solar_chase is it reasonable that I get a bit confused by posts like these that mix GW with GWh? The "for" suggests an addition that makes no sense; I'm not trying to be pedantic, just to understand what's going on.

@catsalad meowmeowmeo~

@stux In a world full of useful idiots Körperkultur trumps learning to use your brain.

@jbrownesqoh so that's what you mean by "hard left": holodomor apologism. @latsss

@rayotron That would exclude all new image formats, then, not just WebP.I can't say I'm thrilled about being locked into using nothing but 40-year-old image formats forever…@lproven

@stevel @brennan what about flat out introducing o-only "bugs"?

@plexus Yep.I noticed this also.

@nieuemma @mral @eniko My boss is a musician in a band. He's still mad about drum machines and doesn't think LLMs can make real music. He's used LLMs to create "art" to go along with some of our vulnerability meetings and thinks they will completely replace programmers.I had a talk with him about it. I explained the Gell-Mann amnesia effect and how it can lead you to believe genAI is uniquely bad at the things you know a lot about, but somehow good at everything else. He stopped making "art" after that, at least.It's very easy to fall into that trap because the people who know what they are doing make it look easy when they do it.

@futurebird @nirak @reclaimhosting I use GC every day, and run my own Moodle instance. Moodle is very powerful, but not as easy to use as GC. Only now getting integration with office functions.Every teacher, every day, can use GC (we're a GSuite school, with Msft AD locally) I don't not see a way to get my colleagues to use Moodle in the same way.GC lacks search(!) , and is clunky, yes, but the problem is complex. Moodle has 500+ tables, iirc. It's worth exploring. Big in Germany.

@FaithinBones @lankohr @peteorrall @Fasgadh @kibcol1049 Actually, that's a fascinating little backwater of history. Before phonograhs and telephones, there was no way a typical Yank would hear British speech unless someone who spoke it was standing in front of them. British English evolved due to its Empire borrowing words and whatnot from its Empire; American English, isolated geographically, was frozen in amber.Things got to the point that during WWI US and UK troops had trouble communicating

@benroyce @bruno brb gonna go talk up swimming to my standing desk

@alterelefant @AnnieBuddy @hiphopheaven @slimhazard @renewedresistance And let's never forget that it was the biggest genocide in history we know of

@Tutanota

@jesuisatire I saw this. Stop doubling down on the mansplaining.

@elfin @assimilateborg Lets be honest, after being married for ten or twenty years wives should be able to kill their husbands, get insurgence, and suffer no legal consequences.

@Natasha_Jay Late to the party, but here's one from Aotearoa.

@jessamyn It's the difference betwen a second person story and a third person one. I also always squint a little when I hear games described as "interactive fiction." But that's why the first thing that came to my mind was Racter, which was third person!

@jhv Eyes Wide Shut

@maxleibman @benroyce The toothpaste probably sticks to you too I've always regarded the phrase as meaning something is difficult rather than a literal statement that something is impossible.
