Am I the only one that finds all the articles about the new #bom website terribly shallow and disappointing? They all complain about it but I haven't seen really any substantial criticism beyond the fact that things have changed. That is […]

My stance at this point is that I don't trust ANYTHING written by ANYONE that is positive about #LLMs. If the supposed author is praising LLMs then it's likely that they use it and have used it to generate the text.

For those of you who do tech support for your family and friends over Thanksgiving - I'm not even joking:
Installing adblockers is one of the best cybersecurity improvements you can do for them.
Oh sure, patch their systems, remove bloatware, make sure Windows Defender or whatever is running […]

I think I'm starting to hate renv.. I'm trying my best to NOT use posit package manager to troubleshoot an issue and my renv.lock keeps using it. I have a different mirror in options("repos") I've set options(renv.config.ppm.enabled = FALSE) so why does it keep using that mirror!? #rstats

Woah. This is wild. I'd never seen a piece of software explicitly discouraging installing through snap.

The state of software today. A modern phone cannot instantly load a couple of alarms.

Nothing is more disappointing in tech today that the absolute clusterfuck that is transfering files between devices. This should be a solved problem in {current year}, but it's clear that the big companies don't want you to have any solution that doesn't involve your data going through their […]

One of the things we don't talk about enough is how to secure the peaceful transition of power in open source projects.
We've all seen BDFLs turn into mad kings.

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.
If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

Considering whether to bike 1 hour or so to the beach for a chance to see the aurora in #melbourne. One of the rare cases in which it would've been convenient to own car.
