"Control.Monad.Trans" would be a really good social media display name

I think what gets missed in Mastodon-clique conversations about GenAI as a copyright-washing tech is, how the new GenAI exception to copyright law applies unequally to different actors. Someone with a big AI-gen corporation on their side can take my open source code and rewrite it "to be MIT licensed" using a chatbot, and they get away with it. But I can't do what *I* want, which is to make (with my hands) a decomp/recomp of Photoshop Creative Suite 5 that runs on Linux/Redox and distribute it.

I believe that at some point in the next ten years, a "brain computer interface" will exist that detects some kind of neuron activity, runs it through a machine learning model, and translates it into LLM agent actions. It won't be anything as clean as "you think a sentence and it types it". It will be something one level lower than "prompting an AI". You do some vague mental thing and it translates into a result on the computer.
I believe this product will not work, but be sold anyway. (1/2)

Uh oh
I'm very serious about this, move the compose box out of the left column (or otherwise cause the compose box to cover up content) and I walk. I don't get to move off mastodon.social due to mastodon never actually implementing a migration feature but I can definitely find an alternate frontend
mcc@mcc@mastodon.social (2026-10-04 09:05:26)
The existence of RedoxOS and ReactOS implies the existence of a RedactOS. Now if you go and look, you'll find there's no evidence of a RedactOS ever existing. And of course that's exactly what you'd expect

To answer the article's question: It is unethical to run a program that "tortures" an LLM because in order to do this you must run the LLM and it is unethical to run an LLM 🤷♀️

Thinking about it, logically somewhere there must be stoves with six burners, but I have never seen a stove with six. Nor two. Only four

Something I never really noticed until now: The "route options" in Google Maps turn by turn directions do not seem to offer an option for "do not leave the country"

It suddenly occurs to me that what Servo needs is an 88x31 image, possibly an animated GIF, you can put on your website to affirm that the website has been tested to work right with Servo

Back around 2013 I had a iPhone and an iPad Mini. And I carried them both around and thought: It would be really cool if they just made an iPhone that you could unfold outward, and it became an iPad.
And now it's 2026, and Apple released that, but 13 years have passed and it's not what I want anymore. What I want now is: To be able to buy an M.2 hard drive

It's shockingly easy to forget how quickly Linux went from "zero" to "basically passable end user OS". This didn't happen between 1991 and 2025. It happened between 1991 and like, 1997. And it was with a much smaller community than is potentially available on the Internet today.
We can replace Linux. It's only an organizing problem.

I look at projects like uxn/100rabbits, who applied retrocomputing ideas to actually write an entire self-contained software environment where they wrote minimal versions of all the tools they need. And I respect that a *lot*. But they spent years on that. And I'm starting now. I didn't realize I'd have to do this. I foolishly assumed I could spend my spare years on frivolities like "creating art" instead of preparing for the software apocalypse. Shoulda prepared for the software apocalypse. idk
mcc@mcc@mastodon.social (2026-09-10 05:34:38)
My problem. Is that I have the capacity to write my own open source replacement for any one single software program that goes bad. But if all the software goes bad at the same time. I do not have the capacity to rewrite all of them.

"Democratizing" seems to imply it brings some sort of power to everyone, more or less equally, "democratically". Is there a word for a technology which brings power exclusively to people who can afford high financial demands, and brings more power to you the more you are able to pay for it? Yes, there's a word for that. The word is "classist"
mcc@mcc@mastodon.social (2026-09-06 00:32:19)
There is a technology which is so expensive to operate that *just by existing*, it has made things like RAM and hard drives unaffordable to me and the humans I know, because the expensive technology's operational demands are so high they had to buy RAM and hard drives *until there weren't anymore RAM or hard drives*.
*A technology with this property is not, and was never going to be, a "democratizing" technology*.
