@mattly I’ll start by swinging out of the gate by noting that C in that acronym is a filthy lie.

@mattly no I mean for the purpose of matching the autocomplete. It should only show entries with the error:: prefix.

@mattly heh, I’m just here marvelling at making :: a word separator there. It makes no sense.

@mattly oh this is bad.

@janneke we did all of the last few JSConf’s EU entirely vegan, it’s very possible.

“Nobody asked for NFTs or the fucking Metaverse. Nobody asked for lying chatbots instead of getting to reach an actual support person that could solve your problems.”

And:“…people are challenging the notion that we all have to do AI now. Because we don’t. It’s a choice. A choice that mostly benefits monopolists.”

Das hat jetzt nicht mal zwei Minuten gedauert, leichter geht es echt nicht. Ich habe sogar einen eigenen (kürzeren Text) verfasst, der zu meiner Zielgruppe besser passte, aber die Vorlage geht auch einfach.

Macht das doch auch bitte kurz, danke!

@ryanc how did it go? <3

Tumblr trying to entice me with my areas of interest. They manage to get 2/5 right.

@mattly what do you respond?

If tech is supposed* to be “not politicial” why all the bootlicking all of a sudden?

*It never was.

@vaurora thanks for the docs review, that was my main selling point until now.

Cool cool cool, no way to opt out of Google Gemini and its associated 17% price hike for business users? Fanfuckingtastic.

A great time for Proton to go MAGA, otherwise I’d have checked them out as an alternative. 🙃

I honestly don’t understand* the brouhaha about notification summaries. The only way to deal with notifications is turning them off, with fire of need be, except for meetings about to begin. I get like two notifications a day, three if it’s a meeting heavy Tuesday.

Try it. Turn them off.

*I understand that summaries are shit, but the solution is not lossy compression, it’s less input.

@Infoseepage you need to factor in land, electrical infra and battery storage to get to similar behaviour, that will reduce the multiplier by quite a bit, but it will still be substantial :)

The amount of renewables we could deploy for that budget and in less time is staggering, just saying :)
