@prologic@twtxt.net Seems to work? š§
Skipped a meeting and went for a stroll this arvo because my head was aching due to tension caused by lack of physical activity. That was a very good decision: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-07-23/
Iām not a fan of light shows but thatās a cool UFO! https://youtu.be/DbSmUCCR9Es
Dang it, @david@daiwei.me, you blew my cover!
I was raised without a TV, so I donāt miss it one bit. My parents just didnāt by a new one after their super old black and white device died. Looking after a baby was maybe spare time activity enough for them. :-P
When there was some super cool program I wanted to watch, like a James Bond movie, I visited my grandma. Sure, it sometimes was a pity that I could not join yesterdayās TV series discussions with my classmates, but oh well. I survived that. Building stuff with Lego or playing outside was all I really wanted.
Apart from a few really good programs, thereās sooooo much trash, non-stop ads and the like. Even as a kid, I was very disgusted by all that. But I have to admit that visting somebody with a TV and watching a good show was usually a highlight. These days, I can easily waste all my time and more on YouTube. :-/
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @klaxzy@klaxzy.net Same situation here.
Data protection, @dce@hashnix.club! :-D
This revealed another bug in my client that I still need to fix at some point. Inserting an empty set of messages failed with an SQL logic error. Whoops. I didnāt think about that corner case.
@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Hey, sounds exactly like the company I work(ed) for.
@prologic@twtxt.net I donāt think so? At least, I didnāt hear about any issues on Codebergās end. It may, of course, have had something to do with me using HTTPie instead of wget, but I really donāt know what happened.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh I agree. Long-term the whole thing is completely āfuckedā. But it says more about āCloudā and āX as a Serviceā than about āAIā itself. Itās a bit like all these fucking entertainment subscription services you need to entertain oneās self. How many subscriptions does one need to Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Stan, etc, etc.
@prologic@twtxt.net Our company is paying a shitload of money for all these (different) AI tools ⦠Iām probably not allowed to tell you the exact number, but it is a lot. The only other way would be to lay off employees, so we can pay even more for AI. (Needless to say, that would be the worst possible move.)
For a private person, $20 a month is also pretty expensive, isnāt it? And then assume that you maybe need more than one AI tool. Youāre quickly up to $50 a month or much more. This isnāt something that I, as a private person, will ever be willing to spend for this kind of stuff.
āAIā is just expensive as fuck. On every level. They will have to (ab)use every possible way to squeeze more money out of it, and that includes ads and what not.
