Feels like "generalist" used to mean "not a technical expert in any one piece of the stack but understand how it fits together and are smart enough to solve most problems in it" and now it means "expert in all the things all the time and also AI just because".
Relax by the pool, the beach, or the tennis court with a cold glass of beef broth on ice.
I'm officially shutting down streaming through at least 2026. I've been toying with the idea for a while, but between my professional career coming to an abrupt end and having to sell my house and minor health issues stacking up, I need all the spare bandwidth I can get.

I don’t want to be too sensationalist about this but also I’m the least violent person in the world and I think if someone said this to my face I’d hit them
Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
Job listings are getting more unhinged in both their requirements for AI skills and the fact that they're written by AI and super vague so you don't even know the technical requirements for the job half the time. I just want out of software so bad.
Got windshield replaced, house painting tomorrow. Hope to squeeze in some more Rhythm Heaven on Wednesday.
Developing plantar fasciitis is not super high on the list of bullshit I have to deal with right now, but it is one more thing.
Got a bunch of stuff done around the house today but still too gassed to stream. Will be closer to normal sleep next week.
So a random box of junk that was sitting in my garage loft and I had forgotten existed decided to upend itself and smash my windshield. I'd say it took the wind out of my sails if there'd been any to begin with. Imagine the sound of a sail being sucked into a vacuum attachment.
saving this for the moment I turn 50

Let the record show that I spent a good 10 minutes of my stream tonight being unable to remember the word "sentience." Make of that what you will.
Linus: "...the solution is not to put your head in the sand and sing "La La La, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice like some people seem to do." Also Linus: "I will very loudly ignore people who try to argue against other people from using it." lore.kernel.org/linux-media/...

Had an interview on Wednesday that I punted hard because I was running on 3 hours of sleep. At least the responses are still trickling in. No promises on streams soon but there are a few games on my want-to-try list.
getting more PM2.5 in my bloodstream so the microplastics have someone to play with
New LGR Oddware on a rather touchy subject! youtu.be/nQXltwj6kzU The Keytec Magic Touch is a nifty panel from 1994 that clamps onto the front of a CRT monitor and turns it into a touchscreen via the serial port. Provided you have the right display size and compatible 90s OS, of course. Neat!

This took a while, but I had a blast making this Mina The Hollower illustration!
