@bender@twtxt.net are they really though when you factor in the weaker AUD? 🧐

Been spending a lot of time researching campers as I want to / plan to upgrade our current Camper Trailoer (forward fold) Stoney Creek XL-FF6 to a slightly larger Hybrid Camper/Caravan with ensuite, internal kitchenette, external full hitchen, pop-top roof and twin bunks.

This is the summary and whittling down of my research so far: https://wiki.mills.io/s/1103bc9c-dd75-4a98-b64b-8dadc5b0e51f/doc/comparision-Ln03Moiibq

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Ok 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is a really good example of “simplicity” but achieves the intent and goals 👌

(Now, I don’t know if your screen reader can work with this. Let me know if it doesn’t.)

I don’t use a screen reader fortunately (actually they’re pretty garbage). So all good 👍 (I juse use full-screen zoom).

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice shot! 😳

For example, I reckon software should treat stdout and stderr with care and never output logs or other such garbage to stdout that cannot possibly be useful in a UNIX pipeline 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah that’s why I’m striking this conversation with you 😅 Not only do I respect your opinion quite highly 🤣 But like you say (and I’ve read their philipshpy) it can be a bit “elitism” for sure. I’m genuinely interested in what we think of as software that “doesn’t suck”. Tb be honest I haven’t really put thought to paper myself, but I reckon if I did, I’d have some opinions/ideas…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So you wouldn;t consider things written in Go to be “suckless”-esque? 🤔

@eldersnake Yeah well when you put it like that 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Curious what you would define as “suck less” software? (language agnostic of course!)

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club Yeah for sure! The thing that annoys me about a lot of this, is the sheer fact you can’t really self-host let alone self-train these things I’ve been playing around with AI at home over the past few months and building my own neural networks from scratch (in Go) with genetic algorithms on a few tasks and training sets, but man it’s hard™ 🤣 I feel like we’re doing something wrong here…

@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club This was an interesting read for sure! 👍 I don’t think it had anything I hadn’t already considered in terms of the ethical/moral points of view. I’m not sure where I stand myself either to be honest. I’ve forced myself to get familiar with the ecosystem and tooling, because in my line of work as a tech lead (staff engineer in sre) you don’t want to be that one guy that ya know 😉 Ethically/Morally though, I’m definitely with the sentiment of this post 😅 Much like the whole Crypto hype yaers back (if y’all remember?!) this is also one of the most energy hungry pieces of “tech” (if you can call it that?) in a while. Then there’s these other issues “stealing people’s work”, “reliance is causing humans to become cognitively weak and neural connections to shrink”, to name a few…

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yea I can! I

How you can tell a “review post” on some random website was written by AI?

Ergonomically nicer than its binocular counterpart

How exactly is this a reason to avoid?! 🤦‍♂️

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org HahahHh 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Because we keep fucking with the planet’s environment and climate patterns? 🤔

We’re feeling some pretty intense winds up here in Brisbane too right on the outer edge which are exceeding 100 km an hour winds 🤣

Feeling a bit bad for the folks and Coffs Harbor and on the coast of Sydney right now 🤯

A few more…

As promised, here’s some photos of love you!! camping trip to Canarcon George in QLD, Australia.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de We did indeed! 😅 I’ll share photos soon™ 🔜 Was completely “off-grid”, no connectivity to anything anywhere 🤣

I’m back! 👋
