I am a patient man. At least that is how I like to see myself in most cases. But even I have my limits.

So at the start of 2025 I made an order with my Friendly, not Local Game Store FnLGF for two different sets of skeletons. Because people said one of the sets is horrible and the other great. And because I like to see things for myself I was thinking about making a video about these.

One […]

just spend 30 minutes trying to find the bug in my #knowledgegraph script generator. It was a space in the prefix. This website is gonna be my official #rdf #sparql monday #rant space, because it's monday and all my colleagues are in home office on monday, so i can't emotionally unload on them. I just need to write this and send it out there because the frustration is getting intense.

Fire UX team in time, 2025 edition.

Using Android Studio (2024.2.2) after a while.
So I have "Run" button at the top and another one with just different color in sidebar. Both tooltip "Run", only differ in shortcut.
Difference?
First one runs the project. Second one opens the Run pane at the bottom, which happens to have yet another button to run the project.
You had good old school UI two years ago!

Es ist zum Haare raufen. Vor kurzem wurde TikTok u.a. deswegen verknackt, weil sie auf Servern auf hosten, auf die sie von China aus Zugriff haben; Weil das Datenschutzniveau nicht dem der EU entspricht und das auch nicht vertraglich ("Standardvertragsklauseln") auf sichere Beine gestellt werden kann.
Nun habe ich das wieder zum Anlass genommen meine Vorgesetzten darauf hinzuweisen, dass es vielleicht bei der Situation zw. #EU und den #USA keine gute Idee ist mit unserem #SSO und #IAM (für uns und Kunden) auf #AWS #Cloud zu setzen und wir doch vielleicht wenigstens z.b. bei #Hetzner einen Backupplan entwickeln sollten.
Man hofft, dass schon alles gut gehen wird und setzt, weil die Unternehmensgruppe drauf setzt und man viel investiert hat, weiter auschließlich auf AWS.

Playing this game called "techage" where you start at the stone age, then use that tech to progress to the iron age, etc. But now it's saying I have to progress to the "steam" age, because stuff for oil engines is gated behind special unobtanium only retrievable by steam powered machines. And then to get to the "modern" age of windmills and solar farms, they're all gated behind special unobtanium only retrievable by oil powered machines. And I find myself asking why didn't we just go straight from iron tools to windmills? Then I start to realize... we did.

Another example among many of how these GenAI chat bots are fucked up. Who hit an expert would know these nuances? Yet the results will be taken as gospel. What’s worse is there is no mechanism for correction and refinement. It is just equally plausible sounding BS that may or may not be correct all the way down. Yet the CW is growing to treat these results as gospel by everyday people. We are letting these companies fuck everything up for absolutely no fucking reasons #ai #rant os2museum.com/wp/ai-responses-…

Der gelangweilte Social Media User neigt gerne mal dazu, bei dem ein oder anderen Video länger zu bleiben, als es eigentlich angebracht wäre. Liest man sich die Kommentare dazu durch, kann man sich eigentlich nur noch fremdschämen. Und überhaupt - war früher alles besser als heute?

Von der Ice Bucket Challenge bis TikTok: Eine kritische Meinung über die Entwicklung sozialer Medien, deren negative Seiten und den Wunsch nach mehr Miteinander.

Stichwort "Betreutes Denken" - Warum wir alle mehr selbstständig Nachdenken sollten und warum es gut tut, die ganzen Berieselungsmedien einfach mal auszulassen. Viele Gedanken an einem Sonntag, nachdem ich die vergangenen Tage zu viel TV und YouTube geschaut habe (ja, ich geb's zu 🤡 ). Dementsprechend auch langer Artikel. 😉


Achtung: Der Artikel enthält Spuren von Zynismus und Sarkasmus!

#SocialMedia, #Rant, #Meinung

You know, I was thinking about something , can we not judge each other for our social media habits? I am not any weirder than you are because you like to make every single post about your cat, so why judge me for the way I choose to use hashtags or write my posts? Do I judge you for posting about how you like having sex with furries or how you like to post what you're eating for every meal? No, I do not, nor will I ever because all that content is valid, so please, do not judge, do not make your personallity the social media police, if anything, it'll just cause me to want to do it more, not less, and its nobody's right to judge, even if they feel it is their right. #Rant, #SocialMedia

If this horrifying *featured* chatbot is out on prominent display I can only wonder what house of horrors ones are lurking beneath the surface and being engage every day. Bravo and disgusting as ever OpenAI and GenAI industry #ai #rant citationneeded.news/openai-inc…

When those who are supposedly profiteering the most from #AI #Storage needs are warning about the extreme over-demand for that #bubble, you know shit's going bad.

Happy #Greedflation everyone, enjoy your #AIslop!

Things we can do away with in headline and blurb #writing

Scientists say...
Experts say...
Shoppers say...

And the word "this" anywhere in the title if you didn't also tell me what "this" is, as in:

"This one food will clean your laundry in your sleep!"

Specific, nouns, people. Do you speak them?

The epidemic of ad-dense content mill sites that's been gunking up the internet with crap years was bad. Has me going to hand selected sites and Wikipedia. The AI generated content is only at best as "good" but with orders of magnitude more volume so the signal to noise ratio of all social media, the web, etc. will probably get to completely unusable levels. I long ago quickly punted from content mill site. I get the first hint of LLM regurgitated garbage and I do the same. These bots will fill up social networks, probably even the fediverse too. Outside the fediverse the less monetization and conversion the harder the vulture capitalists will push us, just as they have with ads to the point of requiring ad blockers. But at that point we will be blocking the whole web. The questions I have are: how will we find the real content, where will it be built and hosted, how will the creators be able to make a living out of it when the big tech companies and vulture capitalists will try to strangle them out? #ai #rant #VultureCapitalism

Perpetually wailing, why the heck did we decide scroll bars were a bad thing to show in a UI? I want to know how far I've read into this thing I'm reviewing, so I know how much more time I need to set aside for it. #rant #ux #ui

Es tik gribēju pateikt, ka saprotu un atbalstu tos, kuri izvēlas boikotēt dziesmu un deju svētkus.
Un tie bļāvēji par dzīvesziņu un upurēšanos var iet pasūkāt mazsālītus gurķīšus. Ja tai tradīcijai un dzīvesziņai nebūtu tikai sekundāra nozīme, tad pasākumi būtu vispār par brīvu. Tikmēr kāds uz bērnu rēķina nekautrējas raust piķi.
