@DrFerrous sadly, the cats book was shite.
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/03/book-review-medieval-cats-claws-paws-and-kitties-of-yore-by-catherine-nappington/I had a review copy of Start Villain and loved it.

@Edent Looking at the Haiket website, and it specifically says "Connect with WhatsApp users in Europe". Does this mean that if you do use one of these options you can only talk to EU based folk in WhatsApp? That seems more than a little limiting.

@ndonegan you'll need to ask them.

@Edent are you getting involved in this WhatsApp compatibility @signalapp @Mer__edith ?
-
@Edent wow, this is worse than I expected even for this site…
It seems to tilt more and more towards SV tech bros fans who ask for publicly hanging people.

@neil yeah, sometimes it is a gem. Other times a cess pit. Oh well!

@Edent If you have the time, do visit Waiheke. Island, off Auckland. Lovely place. We spent one night of our honeymoon at the Te Whau lodge, and it was the best experience of the entire trip.

@Edent i just wanted to say i liked your post (the actual post) and agree. And yer I agree people like D_HH have no place in an inclusive web. There are prob many others id say, but thats one who i immediately thought of.
Those hacker news comments are just stupid in my opinion, unable to see any sort of analogy.
Thanks for the post.

@Sandra did you read the blog post?
Not the Toot, the post.
Because it isn't about XHTML.@Edent lol Sandra and Simon look like LLMs

@tml I think you've read something into my post that I didn't write.

@Edent I saw all of that and even though it brought the haters out it is good to know that people such as yourself are allies. It’s a message they didn’t like but still need to read and hear.

@bluegreenandfree to be clear, I think Calibre adding this as an optional choice, with support for local models, is a good thing.
-
@Edent I think the comparison you make here is so valid.

@Edent I'm taking the level of snark as permission to counter with the Troy stories of Cassandra and the wooden horse 😋

@silvermoon82 it is very different from what I was expecting. Festival worthy!

@Edent oh the waterfront is an exceptional place on a day like today!

@Edent I'm in Wellington aka Te Whanganui A Tara in indigenous language, Te Reo Māori. I enjoy meetups with folk with overlapping interests. When will you be visiting?
FWIW I used to help with hackathons using open data sets and lots of other tech events.
I also met my partner at a science fiction convention years ago and we're both keen readers.
Wellington used to be livelier in tech sector before Covid and subsequently a change of government in 2023. Here's a flavour from @miramarmike

@nwp we were then a few years ago but, alas, not this visit. Lovely part of the world.

The first ten minutes I spent on social media this morning made me feel all kinds of things. Why is it that people who routinely use LLMs are so loud and brash and proud, making these tools appear as essential and inevitable?
A post by a dev whose app I use said something along the lines of: "no use exercising your coding skills, AI is too good now, you can't compete with it anyway".
Another post by a user on an instance I try to engage with wrote - literally: "tired of overthinking every decision?" and then disclosed he had created an AI that will "run a weighted decision matrix so you don't have to." In all seriousness.
What is this dystopian world where human qualities are devalued, critical thinking is discarded and surveillance capitalism is ignored at the altar of AI worship?
If they are loud and proud, maybe so I can be too... but in the opposite direction.
This weekend I will start the MIT's Missing Semester class (the 2020 Lectures, so pre-AI) because in this brave new world hyping up techno-fascist LLMs, knowing the basics of code are essential IMHO.
So my March "project" will be a deep dive in MIT's Missing Semester and my April project will be off-grid mesh radio communication.
What about you, what are you doing to resist?
Special props to @emilymbender @cwebber and @tante for being outspoken on these issues... you're my beacons of hope

@gian_d_gian tutto è bene ciò che finisce bene ma quando hai fatto i test al buio con l'ausilio dell'accendino, quante volte ti sei scottato?

@webdevtrust I don't think he's much of a gamer. 🥲
-
ma che cazzo sto vedendo?
-
@Gina Nice to hear. Ensure he keeps up with that. I currently regret that I didn't encourage my parents in all of the above mentioned activities, when they retired.

We will have a combined #XMPP and #UnifiedPush stand at #CLT2026 on March 28th and 29th. Come talk to us if you are curious about either! We will have merch for both, test devices, lots of advice, and I've even heard rumors about free Haribo.

@Gina could you get him into gaming? Buy him a Switch + Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
