i'll say it again, fascists go after small, marginalized minorities bc doing so gives them an opportunity to establish precedent for broad, invasive powers against citizens in a way they don't think the mainstream will fight back against once those laws are established, they won't be used JUST against us marginalized folks

A while ago, I wrote a little about what to include in a README for a project (https://matthiasott.com/notes/how-to-readme). I now also created and published a README template I’ll use in upcoming projects. I hope it is useful! Any contributions or corrections are very welcome. 🤗 https://github.com/matthiasott/README-template

There was a lot of press about the nasty environmental impact of cryptocurrency (all of it definitely valid!). But it also makes me wonder the same about AI, especially big publicly-accessible ones like GPT - GPUs and accelerators draw a lot of power, not to mention e-waste generated by inexonerable technological advancement, and I don't really see anyone talking about it. Maybe it's a non-issue, I don't know much about how these things work in the background, but surely it's noticeable?

Nóva's law of principal architecture review documentation. In a sufficiently large organization the number of pages in a Google doc is roughly equal to the number of people who will disagree with you either publicly or privately. The only way to ensure your ideas will be accepted and supported broadly is to achieve absolute 0 and never write a doc. If your ideas are too complicated to communicate "at runtime" via audio/text/email or otherwise it will never be accepted broadly by the org.

It feels like this is training users to put their passwords in arbitrary pop-ups and leads to users more open to phishing attacks.

is there any website or app that brings you joy? pls share minimum requirement: it must not reek of capitalism (i.e. shouldn't try to immediately sell me shit or shove cookies/ads in my face) extra points if: - it's accessible - it doesn't require auth - you actually use it frequently - the person who made it is on this site (tag them)

Insiders would regularly get different things sent to them. I didn't know how highly esteemed they held me until I saw this sticker on the delivery box...!
