I've been thinking about this for a while now, but I've postponed a decision multiple times, as it sounded too strict to me at first. But now it's here. I've decided to employ a radical Anti AI Enforcement Policy for HortusFox There are various issues with AI, especially vibe-coding, which I've already outlined in this article (please read it…
Man, I'm tired. I worked 7 days a week in May because I was dealing with some important projects, but also because I've got bills to pay and my rates have been mostly frozen for the last few years due to the rise of LLMs as a "translation solution". Count me lucky, because I'm one of the increasingly few people still working with only human-made translation and text, as a lot of companies still…
Netanyahu is dead set on war and Trump seems incapable of stopping him. Plus, why Albanians are pissed at the Trump family and the latest on Ebola.
This project isn't dead yet! Yes, This project is already knocking a year anniversary, and the changes are really small, and some packages is already obsolete. Just like my other projects, they're all really, really slow to upgraded, because my lazy self :P

Spacelab was a reusable laboratory that could be carried in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle, providing lab space for astronauts and experiments. Spacelab was controlled by a French-built minicomputer, called the _Mitra 125 MS_. Unlike modern computers, this computer didn't contain a microprocessor chip. Instead, its 16-bit processor was constructed from several boards of chips. In this…
While preparing this article, I wanted to export the coordinate data of the battlefield map that I created in Altilunium LocationPad to GitHub Gist.
Then, I realized that the exported file format was actually just plain JSON, not proper GeoJSON. That’s why GitHub Gist couldn’t render it as an interactive map.
So, in this version (26.5.20), Altilunium LocationPad now properly exports and imports…
I didn't quit my job _per se_ — we moved to another country with higher living costs, and the company was unable (or unwilling, depending on how you look at it) to give me the required salary increase. It was a relief, really, because pretty much everything in this article resonates with me.
Linus has released the 7.0 kernel after a busy nine-week development cycle.
The last week of the release continued the same "lots of small fixes" trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I've tagged the final 7.0 and pushed it out.
I suspect it's a lot of AI tool use that will keep finding corner cases for us for a while, so this may be the "new normal" at least for a while.…
A few posts ago, I wrote about the possibility of a second edition of my book on the photovoice methodology. I outlined several topics that now need consideration for edition two. Generative AI was one such topic.
The pre-work for that post led me to discover AI Voice, outlined in this article, a version of photovoice wherein participants use AI tools to generate images rather than cameras to…

With the release of macOS Tahoe last September, Apple introduced a major change: It removed Launchpad and replaced it with the Apps app. Many of us mourned the loss (and many of you laughed at us, based on the feedback I got from this article) and turned to third-party, Launchpad-like solutions to fill the void. However, there’s a sign from Apple that those third-party apps could be at…

In the following analysis, Somayeh Rostampour shows how the repression that the Iranian government has carried out to crush protests, the monarchist attempt to co-opt opposition movements and push them to the right, and the military assault that the US and Israel are currently carrying out against Iran are all different fronts within a single counterrevolution, reinforcing each other and…

A little while ago, I came across a recent (2022) article written by Caroline C. Wang, one of the original creators of the photovoice methodology.
When I was writing my dissertation, I tried to reach Dr. Wang by email, and this piece helps me understand why a response was never received. She left the University of Michigan in 2006—just when I was starting doctoral education.
She wrote: "But I…
