no genai or crypto shit here. anti-llm at my core

(on hiatus.back 29.03.26)

  • Alternating between Deadlock and Overwatch. I want to start Life Is Strange: Reunion this week tho, but I spend more time watching my partner play Pokopia

  • While wanting to build an open-source alternative to a shit platform run by an evil company is a nice (even admirable) thought, unless you really think on the myriad 'why's and 'how's and come up with some sort very-high-level spec that's more than 2 sentences long, this will most likely remain a thought. And not only that, a rather unoriginal one since I'm pretty sure there is at least 1 open-source LinkedIn replacement out there (checking https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted is usually a good starting point considering your goal of wanting co-ops to run their own instances). If there isn't (or the others are just bad for whatever reasons) then maybe the community can start having real discussions for this.

    If however your intention for posting this was to try and get work to organically start on an OSS LinkedIn clone started, then good luck. But "let's make an OSS version of X/Y/Z" is basically the same as "let's buy a bar" or "let's start a band", seldom do these thoughts lead to their desired outcomes.

  • absolutely astounding how so much of the feedback to this article i've seen across social media amounts to "artists don't deserve a living wage" or "they don't do real art".

    don't use LLMs or GenAI. support your artist friends

  • Second week back at work after holidays and maybe my brain has started returning. I have an interesting H2 left.

    Current obsession is being a coffee wanker (again), which has been fun and tasty and expensive

    boy howdy it'd be nice to have people to talk to that weren't colleagues or my partner but i'd need interests that last for more than 2 weeks for that to be maintainable

  • This is such a weird question because a link in the sidebar for a 'European product database' takes you to a site which has a category of 'e-bikes' (here), which is pretty exhaustive although there are probably some missing.

  • I remember about ~10-15 years ago there were big issues with them acquiring massive amounts of central european forests. Trying to find recent stuff of that ilk and they seem significantly better (as far as I can get with english written articles and searches).

    Like any massive retailer that is known for selling cheap things: check for local stores and second-hand first (if you can and feel comfortable doing so).

    I'd be lying if i didn't say the meatballs aren't godly though.

  • Just more Crusader Kings 3 and whatever the hell goes on there.

    I also went back to Stellaris for a bit now that it's stable since the big change uhhh a few months ago. It used to be to my favourite Paradox game but at the moment it's just not hitting right.

  • there's already a whole swathe of static analysis tools that are used for these purposes (e.g. Sonarqube, GH code scanning). of course their viability and costs affect who can and does utilise them. whether or not they utilise LLMs I do not know (but I'm guessing probably yes).

  • Playing a bunch of Crusader Kings 3 and Civ V. Have half a mind to learn EU4 right as (relatively) EU5 is coming out for some reason. Also played some Lost Eidolons which is kinda fun, the between combat stuff isn't very fun however.

    This past weekend Steam had a Darkest Dungeon 2 free weekend and I finally realised that those games weren't roguelite deckbuilders (ohhh i hate those so much). So I finally tried them and they are...fine. The "I'm so edgy and dark" aesthetic gets stale really quickly, as does the slightly-but-deliberately-obtuse UX that appears in games that are supposed to be "difficult and unforgiving".

  • they did recently sponsor/contribute funds for the ongoing development of the game Road To Vostok, which is very Stalker like

  • Removed Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • gross

  • i remember really liking Grey Goo and yeah no one i was friends with back then had ever heard of it

  • oh i lovvveeeed Lost Records (but I also adore the LiS games). I definitely recommend sticking through it's clunkiness (I agree that the 'stand in right place to give dialogue option X' is a weird system tho)

  • been using newsblur since google reader died, works very well across everything and has OPML import/export support. some non-newsblur RSS apps allow reading from newsblur accounts

  • The way Posti (Finland) are treating it is as "nothing can go to the US" (src). DHL and PostNord are allowing gifts under 100eu (with the added warning that they be real gifts). I think in your case you could be okay but this situation keeps changing and IANAL

  • Apparently I'm in a 4X & RTS mood: Age of Wonders IV, Civ V & Civ VI, and some Age of Empires 2 & 4 matches. Also on holiday for the next couple of weeks so I'm debating whether or not to do BG3 or Pathfinder: WotR (my patience for CRPGs runs out at ~50-60 hours so perhaps neither)

  • wondering a bit what my life would have been like if i didn't have a pathological need to please people. maybe i should book some therapy again

  • I just removed an empty Coop cola and a Nocco off my desk. Can confirm they are superior
