    grumpy old man “Pet peeve that gets stronger every year”: stop replacing actual pressable buttons with crappy ‘touch sensitive buttons’ on appliances. 1. they are shit, 2. they don’t work if you have wet/dirty fingers, 3. you have to look to find them as there is no affordance, 4. the markings explaining them wear off leaving an incomprehensible area of actions #petpeeve #enshittification

    EAT YOUR SLOP CHILDREN, OR YOU CAN&#39;T HAVE ANY PUDDING “Google announced Tuesday that early next year it would turn off artificial intelligence tools in its popular software for K-12 students, unless school administrators explicitly choose to make such tools available. “But there is a catch: Schools that choose to restrict A.I. entirely will also lose access to Google search.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/03/us/google-search-schools-restrict-ai.html That&#39;s why he&#39;s in the deck

    @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @moira@mastodon.murkworks.net @larand@appdot.net @cookiesinheaven@m.ai6yr.org Ben, just mention a genre that you don&#39;t know about and pretty sure no matter how mainstream or esoteric, they&#39;ll be plenty of folk with good suggestions. I&#39;ve been totally reawakened to metal since being on here (broad term but the sub genres are way to complicated for me) Also the sort of things people have shared have been amazing and totally not what i&#39;d expected. I am also goin...

    @NunavutBirder@mas.to I tried Darktable a little and it looks good. But the effort to migrate also feels huge - have about 100k pic. Also it feels way more ‘fiddly’ 5 of 6 actions to do things that are 2/3 in lightroom for me. I hit a few UI issues which put me off. I want to badly get off lightroom but am feeling too daunted by switching to darktable, unless I could find a month to do it carefully and learn all the new ways of doing things

    I saw the Claude design piece, and it so reminded my of Flying Logos but without the self awareness. I really hate this shit (genAI) not Pixar, always about the style - zero thought process or consideration, just more and more empty vapid crap being poured out in to the digital ether. It will never say &amp;quot;no, we couldn&amp;#39;t do that [because you shouldn’t]&amp;quot; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIOfEiy4lc
