observation. in programming / computing, there’s a hundred people who want to tell you that You’re Doing It Wrong even before you started, especially if you’re young (or glob forbid, queer!)
in videography (which I’m enjoying right now) you can show others an absolutely unhinged setup that looks like it may fall apart at any moment, and they’ll still be like “oh gosh, this is cool!”
i think that we, as IT people, have a lot to learn in not speaking up unless you have something nice to say

in the interests of openness and transparency, I have prepared this report about my time in Germany for #EF30 last week. please let me know if there’s any more info you want to see 🫡
@sametti i actually didn’t end up buying anything in the DD :( I only got to go in on the last day, and the stuff I was interested in was all sold out
but there is one large purchase from when I went to the local gay paraphernalia shop and got a new chain collar, a T-shirt and a tank top
I love hanging out and drawing with friends because it produces absolutely unhinged things like this:
Cyclical bisexual who is constantly monitoring her own Kinsey number, and dyes her hair blue when she's feeling it for women and brown on months she's interested in men
This system helps prevent misunderstandings at the club
LOL remember caring and talking about Kinsey numbers? Remember when you still believed in gender

but here i am, with asbestos in my walls, in my car brakes, in my oven gloves. i'm not comfortable with it, but the utility is just too great for me to take a principled stance here. i like it, and i want it, so i'm using it. maybe that's morally questionable, or worse. but, as i said: here i am

I was a 911 dispatcher for a decade.
To really understand how absolutely terrible an idea it is to have AI answer 911 calls, I'll present you with a single real-life call:
Upon answer, the caller calmly began ordering a pizza. Large, pepperoni. Side order of chicken wings. To be delivered promptly.
The only sign the caller gave that things were amiss? She rather ignored the first few questions from the calltaker.
Because she was being physically abused, had already been beaten, and her abuser was *IN THE ROOM* listening to her order pizza.
Tell me how your AI is going to read between those lines.
Ahhh, open source software
Some rude nerd obviously is going to come in to say, this is free, take it or leave it or write your own? But that is IMO no longer acceptable, documentation is an *essential* element to a tool, and the counter-assertion that tools should be/are self-evidently usable is pure ideology
Do you, a corps of people with an intellectual tradition and a set of professional behaviours and standards, want to be taken seriously as a group who respect your own field? Write your documentation.
