The tech industry, like every other, is rife with ghouls.

Wait, stop, listen #AI
Perfect #AI
Don't worry, if something goes wrong with the ios beta you still have a rectangle running hot enough to keep your lunch warm
🔗 I don't want a screenshot of your Claude conversation via @davatron5000@mastodon.social #Ai #Tech
The number of screenshots of Claude conversations is going up in my life and it’s beginning to have an impact on my general mood. Most of the time it’s well-intended; coworkers working through a problem with a chatbot before bothering me or someone exploring unconventional ideas before bringing it to a broader audience. Both of those situations...
📝 Building the future #Ai #Tech #Labor
Watching the tech hype train while working in the industry has always felt a bit surreal. There's this nascent feeling that what I'm working on, while it pays my bills, either won't amount to much or is potentially a net negative. I'll admit that I'm predisposed to cynicism and will freely cast off jokes at the expense of what I observe. It's easy to do.
Sure, you rewrote something in Rust. But, can you rewrite Rust using HTML?
This self-hosted PDS thing seems to be going ok so far

As a parent, I hate every fucking thing about this #Tech #AI
Pay an artist
It says a lot that an institution as problematic as the LAPD can do this, but our local sherrif's department is all aboard
That's an expensive VS Code fork #Ai #Tech

🔗 From Early Nirvana To Phish, A Chicago Fan’s Secret Recordings Of 10,000 Shows Are Now Online via Block Club Chicago #Music
On July 8, 1989, a young music fan named Aadam Jacobs, with a compact Sony cassette recorder in his pocket, went to see an up-and-coming rock band from Washington for their debut show in Chicago.
Go Spurs go! #Nba
🎵 Nails at Oxnard Elks Lodge #grindcore
(2026-07-12) This was my second show and in a different room (Elks Lodges are big places!). When I saw Superheaven it was in the primary event hall. There was a quinceañera there and the hardcore show was down a narrow hallway past that. This was Nails' first show in Ventura County in 12 years. They played El Rio 5 years before that and who knows how long it's been...

@joesteel@duck.haus @octothorpe@mastodon.online Yeah, I think it's a play for an existing user base, enterprise clients and an established surface to do exactly that. They'll try and compete with Claude Code and if it's anything like X there won't be as much attrition as we'd like.
Does throwing it in the sea qualify as a shaking motion?

Folks do it here for days on either end of the 4th. There’s one town in the county where it’s legal to sell them, so folks go there and set them off everywhere they’re not legal

I got my first #AI agent spam email today (via agentmail.io if you want to denylist it — sent via Postmark's infrastructure). Nobody needs this trash.

@ijimkoz@mastodon.social I grew up on Kobe and the Lakers, but I always loved the battle with the Tim/Tony/Manu Spurs
Replying to
@mrmoore@mstdn.social Yeah, it's very much a trap. Yes, it's a tool but it's also an opaque, non-deterministic tool controlled by companies that are not at all aligned with your interests.
Replying to
@mrmoore@mstdn.social Yep. I had to have *any* teacher sign off that I was computer literate in high school. Anecdotally, I have a friend who's a middle school teacher locally and he said the feedback from parents is overwhelmingly that they do not want their kids exposed to this.
Replying to
@nfd@social.lol It's a bit convoluted since I'm running on a standard nginx box, *but*, I have my robots.txt listing a bunch of user agents, I send them a 403 response for anything they access beyond that and I'm also 403ing traffic from a few different countries and IP ranges provided by SpamHaus.
Or maybe I misread it and it was this nonsense instead agentmail.to
A pox on both their houses

@wendigo@metalhead.club Yeah, I added a few of his to my Navidrome box. He had a great My Bloody Valentine one from 92 and a good J Church one too.
Replying to
@jzb@hachyderm.io Yeah, I grabbed one of the My Bloody Valentine ones from the 90s. It sounded much better than the new ones. There was a good J Church one too.

@ijimkoz@mastodon.social of everyone left, the Spurs are my choice. As a Lakers fan, I look forward to losing to him for years to come 😆

@zak@infosec.exchange @faisal@social.lol It depends on the experience I've had with updates in the past, but if major updates have been smooth I’m usually pretty willing to install them.
