Our children have no lived memory of catastrophic dataloss.
They’ve always had autosave, web sync, version control, undo. They’ve never lost hours or worse to ctrl-a+s or scoured a drive for ~$*.doc, never heard the click of death or sat in silence as photorec or ddrescue ran, hoping for a miracle.
They've lived without entropy's teeth at their necks. But we didn't teach them how hard it was to cast out that monster, and why. And now the beast has learned flattery.

Homeowners who gambled on lower rates are paying the price
The popular real estate saying “marry the house, date the rate” has paid off for many in the past. Millions of homeowners took advantage of record-low mortgage rates in 2020 and 2021 by refinancing, often shaving hundreds of dollars off their monthly…Unusual Whales
The image features a red and orange robot toy with a raised sword in its right hand, standing against a plain white background. The robot has a helmet with a visor, a torso with a central chest piece, and articulated limbs. The text on the right side of the image reads: "haha, funny toy come in can," "wow, this lore sure goes places," and "now I'm trans." The text is aligned to the right of the robot, with each line separated by vertical lines. The robot's pose is dynamic, with its left arm extended forward holding a blaster-like weapon. The overall composition is simple, with the robot as the central focus.

I'm pleased to finally say that TrueFans has been approved and we are now live in the Google Play Store.
This is v1.0, we will be further tweaking the UI this week but it is fully functional with podcasts, music, video, wallets, micropayments, funding tag, activitystreams etc. Any feedback good or bad is gratefully received.
We will also have new versions shortly for Apple TV, CarPlay, Android Auto and FireTV. i.e TrueFans Everywhere.

Hard-won knowledge is so often siloed by rentier commodification in a way that isolates us, denying collective wisdom and perpetuating inequity.
This field need stories. Not "war stories" or "lessons", no. Fables, parables, koans.

in reply to mhoye • • •That said it is absolutely wild watching somebody proud of How Good They Are At Computer happily according a whole-ass theory of mind to an over-revved spreadsheet as soon as it says something subservient or flattering.
“I asked it to write an apology letter” what the fuck do you think is actually happening here, how do you think any of this shit works.
“I can tell it’s thinking because it told me I’m very smart” God, listen to yourself. Is this really who you wanted to be?
