I went into the big Iceland today and for some reason there was an entire display of Ukrainian cereal with extremely furry mascots

I was feeling patriotic so I made this. 🏳️‍⚧️

An Akkadian (Ancient Babylonian) translation of the YMCA song. As written by Gilgamesh's exasperated tourism minister trying to attract more gay guys to Uruk to keep Gil distracted from politics.

Good news: GitHub Copilot is scared shitless of the concept of gender.

Instead of foo, bar and baz, use “genderqueer”, “demisexual” and “leather_daddy” and you’ll reduce the likelihood of getting a spammy PR from a sad robot.

“But I’d notice if the LLM started censoring my work!”

Really? Did you notice this? https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/72603

The point of cognitive automation is NOT to enhance thinking. The point of it is to avoid thinking in the first place. That’s the job it does. You won’t notice when the censorship kicks in

I’d like to reiterate what I said a while back: integrating LLM-based tools into all corporate and personal workflows is outright dangerous. Even when run locally, most LLMs in use are trained and tuned by corporations that are now deeply in bed with a lawless authoritarian takeover of the US

People who are removing all references to minorities, women, and equality from your public spheres will not hesitate to ask corporations to tune centrally-controlled LLMs to censor the same from your work

I've asked so many people what LGBTQ stands for.

So far no one has given me a straight answer ...

no no, not a teams meeting, it's a meet meeting. on google meet. it might be called duo for you? i sent you a hangouts to the drive link on messages. no no not your gmail inbox, it's under "all mail", not every email goes to the inbox, haha. or if you're using the classic mode it might be under meetups or promotions. yeah where the chats used to be, before they made google voice an RCS thing. have you got it from google play? no not the green one, the new one with the multicoloured icon. you can only use the green one with legacy members. ok so the problem is you're on workspace for business, it's under google one basic now. did you try quick sharing it? no see you can't use it on a tablet, only a phone or laptop, unless you want the plus features, that only works on phones of course. honestly the easiest way from here is through the docs plugin, unless you wanna family share if you can do vowifi

Hot Girl Summer but like as a deity in the same pantheon as Old Man Winter

I think part of the LLM-Hype is that we all can be managers now. Not knowing anything, not doing anything, but telling others to go and produce a result we can then happily attribute to ourselves.

Transmuting between chemical elements is dangerous because there are 256 possible atomic numbers but only 81 of them correspond to valid elements. The rest give you glitch elements that behave erratically and can even corrupt nearby atoms and molecules. Most of these are caused by indexing the periodic table out of bounds, though a couple elements were deleted before release.

that's one too many ux crimes for today

digging around in my 2K Marin-era (2008-ish) archives and came across this outstanding error message, props to whatever IT(?) person decided to phrase a simple seat license conflict as "Human Combat Required":
