Java bytecode is portable >:3

I love you

if only you were more portable :(

I love you too!

Don't even think about using me if you don't know exactly how and where you want to use me. And the same goes for assembly programming.

i have to stop pretending I'm not a gremlin

The evil option is fbcon and tmux. Render images and videos directly to the framebuffer! Nothing could possibly go wrong!

the story of my brief adventures in linux customisation has been steadily ongoing, culminating in a 24h experiment with @arch-official yesterday.

(unfortunately i do not have the willpower, patience, or energy to learn and tinker in such depths that arch requires me to, so it was but a brief excursion)

(though i definitely want go give it another try in the future!)

went back to my beloved opensuse tumbleweed again this evening, but instead of doing what i've always done (kde plasma install), i went with a mininal desktop. aka just icewm.

from then on i installed @hyprland-official and set out on some much lighter-feeling tinkering.

(important to note that i went with hyprland on arch yesterday too, and have also done some brief, failed experimenting with it in the past year)

it's been fun! i've noticed though that the minimal install came with a start-sign-in-package that i didn't like so i installed sddm to replace it. and god is the basic basic version ugly. and idk if i'll be able to get it to look the way it does when i simply go for a kde install.

seriously it's jarring how ugly sddm looks out of the box (which. i been knew but still).

plus i can't log in with root??? like. i can't switch my user???

so i might do yet another quit reinstall of tumbleweed tomorrow morning but with kde plasma as a backup de, even though i don't want to go through the whole clean-up process because kde comes with too much stuff i don't want or need...

(it's almost certain that i will reinstall again)

hyprland becoming my main work environment is a given though, and i'm really excited to spend even more time really customising everything to fit my wants and needs :3

Muahahahaha I sure do buddy!

>;3

does anybody have any suggestions for lightweight email clients that dont use webkitgtk and support OAuth (NOT through webkitgtk)

webkitgtk doesnt work on certain processors at all and fails with a floating point exception, its a recurring issues that has not been patched yet

Hehehe I *am* the best! Mwahahahaha soon everyone will learn the convenience of emacs and vim together in unholy union!

it has happened, I have started using (doom) emacs at work. Need to figure out some LSP stuff but that shouldn't be too hard.

Next step: rewrite emacs in rust (obviously)

Cool to hear!

...but diy hrt?! What if some desperate kid gets their hands on that kind of info?

If some kid is so desperate to be on hormone therapy and their living situation or parents won't help them, their doctor won't help them, their state clinics won't help them, and every legal resource has utterly failed to help them, and they stumble across a handy linked guide of all sorts of resources that could still help them anyways?

FUCKING GOOD.

Trans kids deserve better than what's allowed to be given to them in SO MANY CASES. Fix your hearts.

Editor wars, but gay is a vibe I want to foster on my blog

[emacs-evil-mode]

Emacs is *not* a kind of maid

But Elisp scripts are

Vim is a kind of maid, but nothing about Neovim is a kind of maid at all

ed is the head maid. She makes all the hiring and firing decisions

TECO is a maid, in the strictest sense despite making everything more dirty

Busybox is a bunch of maids but in a big gooey blob like The Thing. Still very demure and cute

command line tools which do exactly what they advertise as doing and are less than a megabyte are a kind of a maid

Rebind ctrl to esc

Join the dark side

Ok, so it's not broken in any way, I'm just double jointed in my pinkies, which are also genetically bent.

So now I ask, should I learn @emacs-unofficial?

[emacs-evil-mode]

Oh yeah! Software as a way to launder bias into so called "objective fact" is a massive civil rights issue!

Ahh fuck.

[emacs-evil-mode]

That would be nice, but how would you enforce it?

Technically GPL v2 could already do this, depending on if training a generative AI system on copyrighted works counts as a copyright violation

A generative AI system could be violating the GPL by not re-releasing any code it generates under the same license stew it was trained on

This is legal terra nova, and I have ethical qualms about using generative AI as an excuse to make copyright law even stricter than it already is

Ahh fuck.

[emacs-evil-mode]

I was speaking from a purely technological standpoint. Where different kinds of AI excel and fail is mostly a matter of technology, but I agree with your points about how it's hard for investors to distinguish "failing gracefully" from "succeeding with novel inputs"

It gets to the heart of the hallucination problem. We can't tell if an LLM is telling the truth or telling falsehood. It's an issue of epistemology itself. There's no way to verify a statement's veracity without outside information. IE "The sky is blue" can only be verified by looking at the sky.

And we train generative AI to produce realistic and believable outputs. Little wonder they function best as little lie machines.

However, just because generative AI can spew nice looking bullshit all day doesn't mean it can't be profitable.

That's the thing though, generative AI can be profitable. It can replace human workers. Or rather foist the work of verifying and editing their output onto workers paid as editors rather than journalists, authors, programmers, artists, etc. I think it's called a "reverse centaur"

So yeah they created a The Torment Matrix

Ahh fuck.

I have found my enemy

[emacs-evil-mode]

Uk peeps!! Let’s get this going! 🏳️‍⚧️🇬🇧

[emacs-evil-mode]

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

The next time you've got a friend over, set an example and put your phone on the table, visibly there but not too far away, to let them know that you're intentionally present, not distracted, your attention is undivided and you want to be fully focused on being right there to spend time with them. Don't mention it or draw attention to this, you're not doing this to be preachy or wanting praise, you just want to be a good friend and you value your friend's time. Ideally, your friend will either notice this or even pick it up without conscious notice, and set their own phone aside on the table as well.

Then, when your friend takes a minute to go to the bathroom, grab your phone and take a photo of your friend's phone sitting on your table. Do not touch it, and put your own phone back exactly where it was immediately once you've got the picture. Carry on with whatever you two were doing.

Once your time is up and your friend has left for home, wait for a good 15 minutes or so, for them to either get back home or be well on their way there. Text your friend, "hey, you forgot your phone", and send them the photo you took of their phone on your table. Set a stopwatch running from the moment your friend sees the message.

Measure how many seconds it takes for your friend to process this and tell you to go fuck yourself.
