If I installed new server software that served websites 500% faster but also crashed sometimes, your first question would be "how frequent are the crashes?" and if I shrugged you'd back away slowly and start looking for my replacement. But with LLMs & hallucinations that's just normal operating conditions and you're a luddite if you ask too much about it.

I just learned the phrase "circus factor" ("If you or someone on your team ran away to join the circus, how stressful would it be for the rest of the team?") and I like it much better than the widely-used phrase "bus factor". https://mercedesbernard.com/speaking/minimize-circus-factor/

new rule: if your company puts a LLM bot on the front lines of your customer support effort, your company should be legally bound to adhere to whatever the LLM bot states on your behalf. oh, you put a lying machine at the front door and it's telling people your product does things it doesn't actually do? and now you're stuck making your product do these things? maybe you'll think twice about deploying lying machines...

Only looking to self host, or would you be happy with something like Bitly? I assume self-host?

It's kind of funny to me how when I first discovered the furry fandom in the 90s it's because I believed myself to be an animal in a human body and most folks in the fandom were like "nah that isn't a thing" and since then I've come to accept that I'm human and fast forward 25 years and now there's a big and growing movement where it's like most furries seem to identify as nonhuman at a spiritual level and it's weird to be the outlier who *doesn't*

In 2009, I join Twitter. I make friends there. I can see their posts. Twitter has a Nazi problem. I pre-emptively join Mastodon. But I don’t really use it yet. Elon Musk buys Twitter. My friends start leaving. I no longer see their posts. I want to see my friends’ posts. - I find my friends again on Mastodon. Now I have two apps to keep track of. But I can see my friends’ posts again. My instance admins get in a fight. Friends’ instances defederate from mine. I can no longer follow them, nor they me. I am told about this by a friend who noticed. There is no indication given by the software. I am not notified of the connections I’ve lost. I want to see my friends’ posts. - A friend invites me to their instance. I accept, and migrate my profile across. I re-follow missing friends I can remember. And I can see my friends’ posts again. A friend posts photos on her instance. But those photos are not visible on mine. Her profile appears, to me, devoid of images. My new instance seemingly media-blocks hers. There is no indication given by the software. - I just want to see my friends’ posts. Am I wrong to want that? - https://moonbase.lgbt/blog/i-want-to-see-my-friends-posts/

#Firefox is by far the best browser on desktop. Let me be clear, I am not saying that because I am ideologically opposed to using Google products. I use YouTube and Google Workspaces. Chrome genuinely has nothing to offer over Firefox. If your website doesn't work in Firefox then I'm not using your website.

There's not a CEO in the world doing $7 million worth of work. Saying this is in line with exec compensation elsewhere is not a defense, it's an indictment. Nor is gender equity in pay an argument when ALL execs are overpaid and where pay equity is worst is at the entry level and among the precariat. Seriously, stop trying to justify a $7 million salary. Executive compensation is a PROBLEM, and while it's nothing specific to Mozilla, you can say this without pretending it's healthy. 2/2

@sphakos@toot.cat "It's almost like neuro-spicy folks like to hang out with each other..." Right?! 😂 Seems to happen on other dimensions of identity too! Like, genuinely shocking numbers of people I've formed strong ties with have ultimately been diagnosed as neurospicy, and/or with EDS, and/or come out as queer/trans. Love that we find each other even before we self-identify these ways. (...so yea I'm definitely thinking a lot more about autism rn...)

@james@strangeobject.space THIS is why I resent any type of "productivity measurement". If I as the person responsible for their (professional and sometimes very rarely personal) situation don't know how and what they feel and are working on, I should quit my job. I sometimes hear "but we need abstract measurements to hand up to executive management". No, you don't. Have a talk with them and tell them about the people you are working with. If they don't like this, this is not a good place to be. And regarding 'productivity': some people have a constant outfit of achievements or in software development tickets. That's productivity. But some people 'produce' less individual results, but removing them from the team would lower everyone's productivity. That's generativity. I don't know many colleagues taking this into account or even noticing it exists.
