I’m not exactly neurotypical and I’m not good at in-person interviews. When I did video interview when applying for a training course, I did fine, because I wrote down a script. …What I’m getting at is that this video interview could have been an email. (Edit: Also didn’t get chosen for the course, so, meh)
I’m just a nerd girl.

To just have the most recent data within reasonable time frame is one thing. AI companies are like “I must have every single article within 5 minutes they get updated, or I’ll throw my pacifier out of the pram”. No regard for the considerations of the source sites.
7·7 days agoIf it had happened now, that figure might be accurate. However, this was originally exploited in 2022, so it’s probably pretty bad.
“The new Windows Terminal is so slick! And PowerShell is soooo awesome! When will Linux get cool neat powerful stuff like this?”
“Uh… About three decades ago?”
(To be honest, PowerShell is neat. But it’s also cross platform, so if I really want it on Linux I guess I can get it there too? I don’t really need to, I’m in middle of rewriting some PowerShell stuff in Python)
Two points. I’ve never paid for anything by cheque (we have had bank transfers in Finland for ages) and Blockbuster didn’t operate here (we had our local video rental chains, and the convenience store chain that I used to go to is still in business, just, you know, not having movies for rent any more)

I’m not very good at socialising, sorry
9·9 days agoTurtles are great computer science animals. They do graphics, and have shell access.
Wikipedia has plenty of this stuff. Great photos and diagrams to illustrate important concepts.
For example, when discussing Turtles, you need the perfect photo to discuss the Turtle Mode.

126·10 days agoIn Musk logic: it’s not bad when he does it. It’s bad when people start discussing it, because they might come to a disapproving conclusion.
Short summary: Elon gives Elon some Elon and congratulates Elon for being such an Elon, that big money boy he is. Money!
“The samurai charged into battle, shouting You must install Adobe Flash plugin to view this content.”
No, the 1990s didn’t smell of sex and candy. It smelled of a banking crisis and a box of 3.5" floppies.
I’m an artist / writer and I don’t see problem with generative AI when you’re at a really early concept stage. Exploring ideas, try to get over creative blocks, that sort of stuff. Maybe the AI hallucinations and fuckups can give you ideas worth exploring.
But using them as a literal basis for artwork you work further on is a fool’s errand. It’s easier to maybe take ideas from there, but work from scratch anyway. And I do realise that even that is controversial.
Also, could be a legal quagmire. Also not happy about the copyright appropriation situation or the environmental impact.
Vendor lock-in is bad and Adobe’s business practices are bad, no matter how you cook it. There are so many viable alternatives to Adobe stuff.
Problem is, Photoshop power users don’t often want to hear about any alternatives. GIMP is just one of the most popular culprits in this regard. That’s exactly the kind of mindset that the vendor lock-in creates.
I’m kind of happy that I stuck with GIMP when I was younger. Now, I have absolutely no fear of trying out any software that comes my way. I do most of my photo work in Affinity Photo. Don’t have problems with GIMP either, use it for some other stuff.
The only way to get people to switch from Adobe is to wait for Adobe to make the life unbearable for their own customers. Some time ago there was a huge movement for people to switch from Premiere to DaVinci Resolve because Premiere really is pretty horrible these days.
