I'm just one random nerdy trans girl. ...Oh come on, you've been around fediverse, surely you've seen us around?

Mastodon: @umbraroze@tech.lgbt

  • PSA Huggingface is scraping GitHub

    Jump

  • Oh lord my code is actively helping making AI worse.

    I checked out, it has some of my repositories. They crawled this stuff in 2025 and they probably won't update it. Whoever uses this dataset will have to deal with some super garbage, I tell ya.

  • Welp

    Jump

  • I'm unemployed, I'm incredibly snarky at the recruitment posts. (This literally hasn't changed in decades.) Right now I'm like "oh, they want Python programmers...? Good, I'm one. For web scraping tasks...? Okay that's bullshit. Wait, this is an AI job post? The MBAs, drunk with their Vibe Coding power, thought they could feed the Machine, but lo, they were mistaken!!! For web scraping was a Dark Art."

  • Claude, explain

    Jump

  • Dude's not gonna like the response.

    But that's okay, the dude's not gonna like the response, whether it was made by an AI or human - for it is in Twitter where our scene lies.

  • Where my klitoris users at?

    Jump

  • GNOME folks are like "well, before GNOME was even a thing, we had this application called The Gimp, and we kinda wish we didn't call it that, so please don't name your apps for laughs OK?"

  • Where my klitoris users at?

    Jump

  • The application most likely to cause confusion among True Gamers™ who got fed up with Windows.

    (PRO TIP: dolphin is the KDE file manager, dolphin-emu is what you really want. PRO TIP 2: To defeat the PulseAudio daemon, shoot at it until it dies)

  • Seriously, every time I gotta be out the door. Just let me shut you down.

    Jump

  • Well, there's a reason why I shut down my Windows laptop at least 30 minutes before I have to actually leave somewhere.

    My biggest annoyance isn't even Windows as such, but random applications that have auto-updaters that run when the app is closed. "Okay, time to go now." "NO! I must update this app!! Do not stop this update or hideously evil data corruption will happen!!!" ...there's no excuse for this stuff. Just do it when starting the application.

  • Reddit keeps pushing on being a closed platform, now rolling out mandatory logging for old.reddit.com - worth pushing for the fediverse again?

    Jump

  • Apparently, my several year old accounts need Persona verification to access stuff in 18+ communities.

    ...which, as I recall, are consistently commented on by <2 month sock accounts. As far as a year ago, you could just register an account and go wild. DID THAT CHANGE??? DID IT, SPEZ???

    Jump

  • Perchance you should start measuring things in hamburger units, or express your distaste of paywalled articles, or how you want to remove all of the mild everyday annoyances from the reality because, you know, they mildly bug you. Or just talk about the proletariat.

    ...I dunno, I'm not on the list either because I don't talk about this stuff much, I guess.

  • I guess the dev is too transphobic to handle the rule

    Jump

  • First I was like "oh, guess I'm not active enough to be noticed", but there's people on the list who barely posted anything.

    Guess I just didn't manage to say something that would have annoyed this person. Like talking about burger units and shit. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm just a weird anarchy hippie nerd trans girl, don't ban me. Oh crap I said it out loud

  • As an ESL speaker, I don't entirely trust speech recognition, because it is wonky with all of our weird foreign accents (much like it's wonky with all of the fine native accents, go figure).

    Just keep that in mind when this stuff inevitably gets outsourced to... wherever.

    Oh and if you ship several updates in a single morning, something is very wrong. Where are the testers? Where's the review? Don't say they're even less present than usual?

  • Found this relic cleaning my car's trunk

    Jump

  • Yeah, Mechcommander and MechWarrior 4 had suprisingly good live action stuff.

    My favourite little thing about Mechcommander was that once you started the mission you got screen with "Connecting to the battlefield..." and static and noise. That's one way of making loading screens more diegetic, I guess.

  • Maybe a clothing line?

    Jump

  • Our local Pride Week is in August. It's weird, but it may have something to do with corporate shenanigans if you catch my drift.

    Anyway it's fun watching some of local chuds foaming at their mouth in June and then we go "dude, we don't do Pride in June for a reason".

  • I don't know if I'll be able to contribute. Please add turtles somewhere. Literally everywhere if it's possible. Aww shell-friends. 🐢

  • Microsoft ran out of reasons to use their own browser

  • Well that's the neat part, they do, so I rarely need to test them!

  • Microsoft ran out of reasons to use their own browser

  • There's a legit use for Edge: if I have to test out how a website looks on Chromium, I don't need to install Chrome, yay.

    For everything else, there's Firefox though.

  • The Death of the Status Update: Why 55% of Americans Stopped Posting on Social Media

    Jump

  • Most of my microblogging stuff has been just shouting in the void about stuff I've been doing. And random brainfarts. I follow cool people on social media so I can see them shout in the void about what they're doing. And their random brainfarts.

    I'm happy Mastodon still lets me do just that. Perfect platform for that sort of stuff.

    The Algo Lords decided people don't actually want to see that, they want "popular" things and engagement bait. Yeah no, not what I want.

  • The open-source, DRM-free Open Printer shows off a working prototype

    Jump

  • I don't care how "open source" the printer claims to be. Both hardware and software belong to Belzebub. Such was the dark pact printer makers signed in blood decades ago, and all land shall obey by those words. We shall hit the print button and wallow in torment forever.

  • AI Fiction Is Easy to Detect Because It's Stupid and Bad, Research Finds

    Jump

  • I remember the stuff they added to Duolingo after the leadership went "AI first".

    Duolingo has these story exercises. Old stories were all kind of fun and distinctive, and the characters are fun and memorable. Then they got the bright idea to AI generate more stories.

    "Oh, don't worry, the new content will all be reviewed by humans", they said.

    Were they?

    The new stories were... I don't even remember any more. Best I can describe them is "there's stuff and it happens and the characters are just kinda there". It went in one ear, out of the other. I fucking can't. I don't think I was learning stuff from that.

    And these were tiny stories, like couple of hundred words tops. Anyone uses LLMs to write novels is out of their rocker.

    It's a simple thing, but one good way to make games memorable is for the developers to leave you words of encouragement in the pack-in material.
