"Eniko why do you hate AI?"
the same reason everyone does, the output cannot be relied on, its unethical, unsafe, and sucks the humanity out of everything
like idk man why would i hate the thing that outputs unreliable dogshit lies devoid of any humanity or personality which is also unethical and unsafe? it's a fucking mystery really
Quand on voit les statistiques sur les #JDR joués, ce sont toujours les chiffres de plateformes en ligne qui sont mis en avant.
Pour donner une idée de ce qui peut être joué IRL, voilà la liste des jeux joués dans ma petite asso de province (105 membres) durant la saison 2024 – 2025, soit 29 séances.
Ping @Romaric_Briand, qui déplorait dans son podcast ne pas avoir de chiffres pour les assos 😉.
AI is dogshit. And the more contact people have with AI, the more they'll realize it's dogshit and turn against it as tacky. The only reason anyone's doing any of it is because billionaires and multinationals are telling them "AI is the future!" and cramming it into everything
Even with all this they still can't get *most* people to give it more than a passing glance. Because people can instinctively recognize that it's dogshit, that it's useless insipid vapid bullshit with no intrinsic value
Je trouve ce samedi impeccable pour relancer un ptit coup cette campagne d'information impeccable de notre gouvernement impeccable qui table, oklm sur du +4°C
On est à combien là en France métropolitaine ? +2°C je dirais. Sachant que chaque dixième supplémentaire va entraîner des effets de plus en plus importants. Cela signifie qu'entre 0 et +2°C les effets sont infiniment plus faibles qu'entre +2°C et +4°C
On est tellement pas prêts 🤦♀️

Datacenters contain 90% crap data. We’re destroying our environment to store copies of copies of copies of stuff we have no intention of ever looking at again.

I really like the way Bandcamp has enabled playlists.
- Users have to own the tracks to add them to a playlist
- Users who don't own the tracks can listen to them a preset number of times and are then encouraged to purchase
This means that for the vast majority of listeners playlists are free, BUT it encourages purchasing for repeat listeners.
Curated playlists (and even some of the algorithmic ones) are far and away how I find new music these days.
A very thoughtful approach.
Third and final character for this little series, i hope you liked it! I wanted to draw characters inspired by different scales, from the tiny 🌰 to the very very big ⭐
I'd like to make risograph prints of them at some point, but for that i'll have to contact my local risograph printer and learn how it works. To be continued, perhaps!

I woke up to a comment so smug, so perfectly soaked in gatekeeping and faux-righteous posturing, it earned its own blog post.
You want freedom? You want GNU/Linux to mean something?
Then maybe start by not telling disabled users to go fuck themselves with a smile.
This commenter thought they were defending "software freedom." What they were really doing was kicking people out of the room. Dismissing accessibility. Mocking effort. Pretending that cruelty is some kind of rite of passage. They quoted Stallman like it was scripture, ignored real-world experience like it was noise, and wrapped it all in condescension dressed as virtue.
I’ve spent over a decade in this ecosystem. Writing patches. Rebuilding broken stacks. Helping blind users boot systems upstream doesn’t even test. I didn’t "just install Arch and whine about the terminal." I lived in it. I survived it. I held it together when maintainers disappeared and no one else gave a damn.
But apparently, because I didn’t call it GNU/Linux™ and because I dared to talk about how this OS chews people up and spits them out, I’m lazy. I’m weak. I should "get a dog."
So I wrote a response. Line by line. No mercy. No euphemisms.
This isn’t just about one comment. This is about every time someone’s been told they don’t belong because they couldn’t learn fast enough, code well enough, or survive long enough. It’s about everyone who was pushed out while the gatekeepers patted themselves on the back for "preserving the spirit of free software."
You want a free system? Start by making it livable. Because freedom that demands you crawl bleeding through a broken bootloader isn’t freedom. It’s abandonment dressed in ideology.
And if this kind of gatekeeping is your idea of community?
You can keep it.

I didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.

I don't think LLMs are just another tool, neutral.
I think the fundamental premise of the technology is that human consciousness has no meaning or value. This is something a lot of capitalists and their managers implicitly believed, and now it's becoming explicit.
In Marxist terms: a commodity has a dual nature, use value and exchange value. Human consciousness, desire, and empathy define use value. The premise of LLMs is that only exchange values exist and use values are an illusion.

Bon article qui net les points sur les i en ce qu’il s’agit de la pandémie toujours en cours et de la responsabilité du système capitaliste.

Hey does anyone got any recommendations for a good art instance? Anti-AI and queer and trans inclusive space are required. My wifey is trying to find a good place to promote her art.

Repeating this again, from a different perspective: when your precious AI buddy requires hitting niche forges multiple million times a day, that is a cost your precious buddy generates.
Whenever a legit human visitor's browser has to solve an Anubis challenge, that is a cost your precious AI buddy generated.
Whenever you use these tools, these are the costs you push down onto others. Your precious AI buddies cost us countless hours of CPU time, bandwidth, and incredible headache trying to fend them off.
If you are using genAI for any purpose whatsoever, you are party to this carnage.
It’s easier to understand conservatives when you realize that they operate on a system of vertical morality while we operate on a system of horizontal morality. In a system of horizontal morality, something is right or wrong based on whether it causes harm, violates consent, etc regardless of the social status or class of an individual. In a system of vertical morality something is right or wrong based solely on whether an authority figure says so or not
Salut le fedi,
Il y a des gens de Martinique ici ?
J'aurais un service à demander pour sauver une consœur journaliste.
Long story short, la Poste a refusé de livrer un colis plein d'affaires perso qu'elle avait envoyé et l'a renvoyé vers la Martinique. Ce qui la fout dans une mouise assez épaisse.
On aurait donc besoin d'une personne qui puisse se rendre au bureau de poste à Ste-Luce pour retirer ledit colis et le reposter.
Dédommagé, évidemment.
Le repouet fait réapparaître un colis perdu
