I’m still happy with Pushover. Hasn’t changed in a decade (and a half?! Been using that since 2012, damn), works really pretty well.

It’s not self-hosted but when there are push notification services on the path, nothing really is.

If Tate loses his job, who’s to say if that’s good or bad

(No but really it’s bad, very bad)

That can’t be entirely it. Do you call Alexa the voice assistant tool “she”?

Oh man, if genAI destroys the profession of toxic masculinity podcaster watch me turn booster on a dime

That is pretty sad to see, but also, who refers to Claude as “he”? This is the second time I’m seeing this and it makes me skin crawl

Mildly positive news: there is a fork of the Zed editor with the llm autocomplete stuff ripped out now: https://gram.liten.app/posts/first-release/

(I’ve used zed with the ai kill switch and really like the buffer/editing ux; but it’s always felt a bit gross, I’m excited to see where the fork goes)

Yeah, they rebranded when they did the harebrained pivot to focus on cryptocurrencies.

Not… sneer? What is this?!

And of all possible things to implement, they chose Matrix. lol and lmao.

Yeah, it’s an anti-human project on several fronts.

Of course! The funnel must let something through, otherwise there’s no reason to keep the call center around.

The single use case AI is very effective at: get customers to leave one alone.

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain liquid (a classic quote typically gifted anyone who wants to “time the market”, but generally very applicable to anyone these days)

Better yet, bandcamp ban ai-generated music too: https://www.reddit.com/r/BandCamp/comments/1qbw8ba/ai_generated_music_on_bandcamp/

Great week for people who appreciate human-generated works

Imagine how many electrons those space air conditioners must be using!

Sounds like a way to identify people who think of power requirements as energy going in, rather than energy that also has to be dissipated. Wonder how circular the Venn diagram of electron guys vs space datacenter guys is.

A pal: “I take back everything I ever said about humanoid robots being useless”

And… same

Impressive side fact: looks like they sent him an unsolicited email generated by a fucking llm? An impressive failure to read the fucking room.

Not like that exact bullshit has been attempted on the community at large by other shitheads last year, but then originality was never the clanker wankers’ strength

Here’s a substack post (sorry) with a quote I found both neat and pretty funny:

Integrity comes from the Latin “integer,” meaning whole or complete. A person with integrity is “whole” in the sense that their words, actions, and values are unified rather than fragmented or contradictory. They understand themselves; they have integrated the warring parts of themselves; and they respect and act on the values that their parts can agree upon.

Rationalists in shambles
