Just straight up non stop lightning. Barely enough pause as if someone was just taking a breath before spitting more of it

This weather is weird.

The world is angry again. And I understand. I am too.

For how bright this is it's eerily quiet all of a sudden. The thunder doesn't stop almost as if it's white noise. But it's so far. Where did the rain go

At least I am getting a pretty light show through my window.

Raw and primal digital wrath!!!

The cool thing is that most of this is just pure Surge XT. I used very few external effects. Maybe a little bit of OTT or Disperser here and there, and some EQ, but that's it. The rest is all Surge. I love this thing. So lucky it's so accessible and open source.

If you make music digitally, get it. There is literally no reason for you not to have it. You cannot lose here. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/

That Qualys blog article about regreSSHion screams "hey I was written by chatgpt", and I hate it. I hate it so much.

I mean look at this.
> Addressing the regreSSHion vulnerability in OpenSSH, which enables remote code execution on Linux systems, demands a focused and layered security approach. Here are concise steps and strategic recommendations for enterprises to safeguard against this significant threat:

That is 1000 percent ChatGPT's writing style.

To GPT: applying dangerous half knowledge to explain a concept which sounds plausible to you and is probably how it works but you're not sure, but you say it anyway.

The unpopular opinion in this case being that this is how it should work, I guess. It seems to me that a lot of people like that this doesn't happen, but I don't really get why. And if you had a setting to tell your server to leave you out when someone else grabs a context that you're in, I feel like that would be reasonable for everyone? If I click on a post, I'd like to read the whole thing. So I usually end up clicking through, or using the load from remote instance feature anyway. I shouldn't have to do that.

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I think we shouldn't even need Fedifetcher. Mastodon should just do this as a built-in feature. Imagine this, it could even be more people focused. It could possibly have settings for people who specifically do not want thread backfilling to work on them, too, just like how you can opt out of search engine indexing. And no, I don't really care to have a discussion yet again about whether or not something like that is voluntary or how bad actors can simply ignore it. But most of the clients I use let me grab any post from the remote instance already. That is effectively the exact same functionality, except my client has to do it, it's an extra step just like clicking through to the original post, which it really shouldn't. Mastodon should just be able to do this with reasonable settings for people.

I wish I had a pool

Seriously the entity who designed mosquito bites to be itchy should be fired

I just misconfigured something. DNS can be a pain once they become complex, but since we can convert them to JSON, it should be classified as a strong stimulant. It totally feels that way, too.

It turned out super boring.

Ngrams do fix this problem.

Now to figure out if I can merge different length ngrams into one Markov chain and still have it output coherent text. I’m doing cursed things again.

You know, sometimes it really is fun to just throw code at the wall and see what sticks. Don’t even think too much about it. As soon as you get some kind of idea, do it. Definitely getting some unexpected and fun results out of this.
