I have a new way that people can support my work, if they’d rather not use Ko-fi, it's direct via Stripe: https://support.thisismissem.social/ This means less fees, better invoices & receipts, and an overall simpler admin experience for myself. You can also manage your subscriptions and payments with ease too!

Until there is a definitive adjudication of the copyright status of LLM training data, it is *deeply irresponsible* to use Github Copilot for open source. I will refuse contributions created with it on any project I'm involved with, as well as permanently ban any user caught sneaking in Copilot-generated code in defiance of this rule. I would strongly encourage all maintainers to take this stand as well. License headaches are already bad enough without secret poison pills being injected.

The year I worked at Google was the Year Of Social, and everyone's OKRs involved integrating with Google+ somehow, and if you did that you got a large bonus. Anyway getting strong vibes like that when GitHub's new font family's landing page starts randomly talking about Copilot half-way. Update: The above has been described as a cheap dunk, and to be fair the CoPilot output having different font thing is fine. But. I guess I should expand with some context about my year at Google—

“Instead of talking about hard skills and soft skills, let’s actually call them what they are. One set of skills is technical skills, skills for dealing with technology and technical problems And one set of skills is human skills, things for dealing with humans.” 🎥 @kball https://youtube.com/shorts/mNHX-QlHAlg

When I repeatedly am asked “Why accessibility though? What’s the business case?” I get cranky (but I’m working on that). It’s the law. Why do I have to argue a business case for anyone to *checks notes* not break the law?? Yes there is a whole ‘nother aspect where it shouldn’t have had to become a law in the first place but FFS.

If you have had an adult family member or friend that was recently diagnosed with a previously unknown developmental psychological disorder (ADHD, autism, etc), you might have noticed something that confused you. Right around the time they were diagnosed, maybe even a bit before, they "suddenly" began to exhibit symptoms when never had before. You might be like, "I've known this person for X years and they never behaved like this." You might even think they are "acting" or something. 1/4

The truth is exactly the opposite. Anyone that's "different" in our culture learns very quickly to hide their differences. The world punishes anyone who's different — usually not explicitly, but by enforcing expectations that cannot be met. People start doing what's known as "masking" — they hold back their true selves and maintain an appearance of normalcy by any means. Usually masking is driven by guilt, shame, and anxiety, and it often leads to burnout or worse. It takes a toll on people. 2/4

Your friend or family member hasn't started acting for "attention" or to get a medication or whatever. They've *stopped* acting. The person you *thought* you knew was only a façade constructed for protection . You only saw the armor they put on everyday, not them. Now that they've learned their differences aren't "their fault" or because "they are broken" or whatever, they can let their guard down. For maybe the first time in their life, they aren't forcing themselves to be who they aren't. 3/4

Observation: if you're someone who angrily rants about how terrible a bunch of software is: chances are extremely high you've never actually built any notable software used by non-trivial amounts of people. It's almost as if reading many many people shredding your work to pieces on the internet makes you mildly less inclined to do the same to others. Who could have guessed?

https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-steam-deck-oled-announcement/ reports Valve making a OLED Steam Deck. I'm pretty happy with mine, the lowest model of the second batch. Frankly, it's not "just" a console to me, it's a whole separate computer that I have to maintain (but in a kinda fun way and with a journaled file system so rolling back is easy). For more causal folk, this might be the model they've been waiting for. A brighter screen, more power and it's lighter? (https://jacky.wtf/2023/11/mOe5)
