Those who think climate change, which has already killed lots of people and caused species to go extinct, is less of a threat than AI, please read this from @doctorow where he reminds us that AI isn't "artificial" and it's not "intelligent."

The answer is always simple. Humans are not that smart and we can only scale simple things.

Between cancelling #1899Netflix and what they did with Witcher ... it feels pretty clear that @netflix doesn't actually care anymore, or maybe ever. Might be time to save some money

By far my biggest use of DMs on Twitter was to share tweets with my partner. Is there a reasonable way to do that on Mastodon or just keep sharing via a private messaging app like Signal? Anyone else come up with a flow they are happy with?

Just re-downloaded #WhatsApp to join a group chat for my new neighbors (we are moving next month) and naturally it is in #German. My German is good enough to reply, but i don't trust myself to send without double checking the translation everytime 😬

I find the netflix engineering blog to be really confusing. The content is clear, rather it is the style. It _looks_ like intro or walk through of a tool that you can download and use but they never link to a repo. For example, this one

While working on today's #AdventOfCode , copilot taught we some new #Go

fmt.Sscanf(leftText, "%d-%d", &start, &end)

It will scan the text, parsing it according the format string, the placeholders go into the variables! 🤯🤯

Am I the only one that finds the #ArgoCD docs really confusing? The project is "git-ops" but the getting started walks through a deploy using the UI. Then when I look at their getting started repo for Helm, it contains a helm chart, but then I look at… https://t.co/z21PXRe2oJ

@alexellisuk @subhashchy @openfaas not too shabby. i guess it can get a job as an intern/jr dev

COVID has left me perpetually tired....but i did make it through #Stargate seasons 4 and 5, so win some lose some?

@aantn Ideally the system can track attempts and after a configured limit move it to a dead letter queue. If it can't track it, then automatically move to dead letter queue after any failure

Does anyone know how to get the #GnomeShell calendar events widget to update in a timely manner? The #calendar app has already synced the change from Google, but the widget has been stale for over an hour now.

in this case the fact is that 2010 is the beginning of the newest phase of monopolistic capitalism, when companies that were large enough started to acquire smaller potential rivals and absorb them/shut them down in order to kill the threat

I am a big #Stargate fan and while recovering from COVID i watched through season 4 and most of 5.

My wife is not a big fan, but i showed her s04e06 "window of opportunity" and she loved it.

So my question to the world, what is th best episode to start a hesitant Stargate fan?

GTK supports MacOS, but the Cocoa integration is not the best. I've been working on a bunch of patches that I hope will make GTK a serious option for who ever wants to build MacOS apps. Here is the result, the Todo List demo app with my patches GTK (1/5):
