Presenting my lecture slides on the RK3588 MNT Pocket Reform beats having to carry the 17 inch Thinkpad from my employer around with me in my backpack (long-ish commute by bike and train).

A purple MNT Pocket Reform mini laptop in an empty lecture hall, showing lecture slides on its screen. It is charging via USB-C, is connected to the projector via HDMI and has a few USB devices connected via a USB-C hub.

Look, I know AI is controversial, but just for a moment, let's set aside our preconceived notions, our biases, the environmental impact, the massive cost to train and run models, the labor exploitation, the intellectual property theft, the inaccuracies, the mania it causes in users, the destruction of search, the deskilling of professionals, the devaluation of creative work, job losses, and lack of economic value from enterprise implementations.

Wait, what were we talking about?

@stilloranged 
weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt@stilloranged 
and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here" 
the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine. With the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world. But with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... 
because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED@stilloranged: 
this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me. he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood. it was so fucking rough. i did my best, but i am one person trying to work against a campaign of misinformation so vast that it fucking terrifies me. this kid is being set up for a life lived entirely inside the hall of mirrors

While I was at BSDCan, I had an idea that I shared with @dgoodkin and would like to quote in one of my upcoming talks and/or articles. Many young people aren't familiar with the BSDs, and we could try using a bit of psychology to pique their curiosity.
Something like: "Hey, consider investing some of your time in FreeBSD. Maybe you'll become an adopter or a dev. After all, Windows is (probably) powering your PC at school, while FreeBSD is powering your PlayStation and Netflix. Maybe you can do without Windows, but what would life be without the other two?"

#FreeBSD #RunBSD

@stefano @dgoodkin I thinks it’s a good idea. For most people I know - not only the young ones, FreeBSD is an operating system that nobody uses and nobody really needs. Some see it as „the grandfather of Unixes“, but in a way that this grandfather is old and useless. So showing that FreeBSD is still used for really cool stuff for reasons is an excellent idea. I find it really hard to inspire people to use FreeBSD as most of them say: Hey, I am already using Linux why should I use BSD? And this is a question which is hard to answer. If you’re not an enthusiast, there are probably few reasons why one should consider using FreeBSD.

I've posted a Github issue outlining why I'm freaked out at the word "irrevokable" in Mastodon's new TOS IP clause:

New Terms of Service IP clause cannot be terminated or revoked, not even by deleting content

github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

It's sort of long (sorry), but several people seemed confused what my problem was earlier, so maybe extra detail will help. I include an outline of my "nightmare scenario", and contrast other site TOSes.

I *will* delete my account over this, and I am not joking.
